Kane heard the question and looked over his shoulder at the woman Michael was speaking of. He still wasn’t completely sure what Angelica’s connection with Syn was. She’d dreamed of him and drew a picture for crying out loud. But why would Michael call her mother? It was question best left for another time and place. Syn stood upright and took a step back from Damon, releasing him from his hold. He now knew where his mate was… he would be coming for her. Without a word Syn vanished leaving behind no trace he had ever been there. Damon blinked his eyes and shook his head a bit before looking down at his mate. With no hesitation, he bit into his wrist and placed the wound directly over Alicia’s lips. He moved his other hand over her throat but she wouldn’t swallow the blood. Had he been too late? Kane abruptly released Michael and approached the couple. Michael stumbled a bit, still in shock over what he’d discovered before going after Kane. Kane knelt down on the other si
Alicia tossed in her sleep, reliving the last few seconds with the werewolf in her dreams. She looked directly into his golden eyes and heard the gunshot go off at close range. Alicia cried out and her eyes flew open. She was breathing heavily and looked around the room she was in. It took a few moments to realize the furnishings were familiar… she was in Damon’s penthouse bedroom. Looking down at herself, she was laying on her back in the huge bed with an arm across her waist holding her gently and a leg thrown over hers. Moving carefully, Alicia turned her head and felt her heart start to pound heavily in her chest. Damon was awake and looking at her with unreadable eyes… she never thought she would see him again in this life. Damon had given Alicia a thorough sponge bath to remove any dried blood left on her skin before laying down next to her while she slept. He had refused to sleep in case she woke up. He would never admit it to anyone but he wanted to be the first thi

Chapter 1 Micah was resting in bed wrapped up in so many bandages he was starting to resemble a mummy. He couldn’t help but smile softly as Mrs. Tully clucked around him like a mother hen and occasionally shook her head. He also wasn’t complaining about the amount of pain killer she’d stuck in his arm. He could see himself in the dresser mirror across the room and started to cock an eyebrow but decided against it when it instantly hurt. They’d already assured him Anthony was dead but he couldn’t help wishing the alpha werewolf was still alive so he could torture the bastard the same way he’d been tortured. The story they’d told him had sounded like a quick death. He wouldn’t have made it quick. “I think you shifters are going to end up being the death of me,” Mrs.
Chapter 2 “Put me down you bloodsucking lunatic!” Alicia yelled while clawing at Damon’s back from where he’d thrown her over his shoulder. The moment she’d realized they weren’t headed toward Night Light she had wanted him to stop… obviously wanting and getting were two different things. “I want to go see Micah!” “Michael told me to bring you back here and this is where you will stay,” Damon ordered as he calmly walked into Alicia’s room. He tossed her down onto the bed and winced when her nails left long welts on his back. Growling he added, “I don’t think your boyfriend will be overly disappointed if you’re a little late to his bed… side.” Alicia huffed and tried to scoot off the bed but Damon was immediately leaning over her with a palm firmly planted on each side of her shoulders. Damon glared down at her, trying one more time to put her under his compulsion spell, “Damn it, I said stay!” “I’m not a dog, I’m a cat you...” Alicia’s mind went blank for a se
Chapter 3 Mrs. Tully shook her head as she came out of Micah’s room and closed the door behind her before turning toward the crowd gathered in the hall. “He’s fine… still sleeping, but he is fine.” “Then he’ll make a full recovery?” Quinn asked skeptically. Mrs. Tully positioned herself between them and the door. “I mean it looks like he may have already made a full recovery. He doesn’t seem to have a single scratch on him.” She backed up a step and threw her arms out like a barrier when several of them tried to dart around her to go look for themselves. “No,” she said firmly. “For now, I don’t want him disturbed. He’s in a deep sleep and that may be part of what’s speeding the healing. If you wake him up before he wakes up on his own, you may disturb whatever magic is being used on him.” “Magic?” Jewel asked in confusion. She was starting to understand where the term ‘you learn something new every day’ had come from. “Magic or miracle… they're both the same as
Chapter 4 The alley became a bit darker than the rest of the city as Misery descended on it to check the rip in the dimensional wall she’d created with Kane's blood. She liked the fact that the humans couldn’t see it, though she was sure some with a stronger sixth sense would avoid the alley. Letting the darkness implode, she stepped forward choosing the child’s form as she knelt beside the opening. She didn’t dare touch it for fear that it would drag her through the barrier, but she could now feel demons gathering on the other side. Those demons could see the rip and that was the purpose of its creation. Misery let some of her own evil slither down her body in dark smoky tendrils and giggled as it seeped into the crack. Within moments, the same thing happened but this time in reverse. Misery’s back arched and her eyes turned blood red as the snaky darkness squirmed its way up her body then sank into her aura. The other side would wait until Misery gave them a sign… then th
Chapter 5 Boris watched from the office window as his bouncers tossed another group of guys out of the bar. The club goers had steadily gotten worse as the week went by. Unlike the story books and movies, a full moon does not make werewolves change but it did make them a little harder to control and the same could be said for the humans. At least it was keeping the wolves busy for a while. He glanced over at his nephew watching the boy smile as a pretty girl put in a request for a song she wanted to hear. Hiring Brando as the DJ had been a good idea and although the boy still wasn’t completely healed, the fact that he seemed happy for the first time in a long time made it worth it. The door to his office door opened interrupting his musing. Boris turned his head seeing two of the bouncers looking a bit rattled. “What is it?” “Titus is working the parking lot and he’s telling us he smells vampires… and that it’s not the dweebs playing dress up.” Boris picked up the p
Chapter 6 Alicia shivered as the cool water showered down on her head and shoulders. Reaching down, she turned the hot all the way up… it wasn’t like a cold shower was really enough to help her anymore. She blinked feeling like she’d missed something. Honestly, she didn’t even remember getting into the shower. She reached for the necklace satisfied it was still there then searched her memory. Oh yeah… she remembered now. She’d finally told the truth. She’d come clean about everything and it had felt good. They weren’t mad… it had been a misunderstanding… all of it, and she could stay. She placed her palms and forehead against the cold tile wall as she remembered what had happened with Nick… poor guy. It hadn’t been his fault. If only she had someone to talk to who knew what to do. Alicia’s eyes lit up and she quickly got out of the shower, grabbing a towel and running to her bedroom. Sitting on the edge of her bed, she picked her cell phone up off the nightstand. She did ha
