Another Mission
Yolanda woke up lying beside Ian in bed. Her brain to a moment to catch up to the fact they used an apartment in the packhouse. Rather than going back to their cottage. Once her heart slowed a little, Ian finally got to the alarm and turned it off. “Why do I feel like I haven’t slept yet?” She mumbled to herself as much as to Ian.
“Because I think we’re running on about five, maybe six hours of sleep. Let’s get this show on the road. I feel we’re in for a rough patch if he’s asking for us.” Ian climbed out of bed and hit the bathroom for a fast shower. “I’ll head down for food. What do you want me to bring up?”
“Whatever going is fine. Thanks, I’ll be quick.”

“This is going to be risky. We’re relying on Jaxon and Hal’s small amount of Fae blood to keep us safe. I thought these creatures fought among themselves. Wouldn’t they attack an unknown Fae in their midst?” Ian looked among the small group, searching for something he wasn’t sure of. “Hunts are an odd thing. There are hundreds of Fae within them. It’s not unusual for the Fae not to know each other because of their number and they have levels of status. I doubt they’d talk to them because they’ll believe they’re of a different rank. The worst thing that can happen is they’re called upon to give orders or they’re given orders to do something. I mean, we don’t know what type of Fae contributed their DNA to their bloodline.” Desire struggled to fin
Hell Hounds Into the Thick of It
Yolanda settled into the bunkhouse with the others going on the mission with her. The dragons went on ahead of them just moments before. For safety, they would rest in a different location. If the Fae located them within the Dream Realm, the Fae could shift realms and find their bodies. She found it difficult to settle down to shift her consciousness into the Dream Realm because her mind kept going to Ian and his safety. Eventually, she faded into the Dream Realm with her team around her. It took them only a few minutes to locate the location where they’d meet the Dragons to receive the device. “Thank you, Gorm. We’ll take it from here.” “I still
Hell Hounds Into the Thick of It
Ian stood watching shapes flit from one shadow to another. He could hear music from live musicians playing. These Fae lived up to every nightmarish tale he’d ever read. Dancing, drinking, and not caring about the world around them. They destroyed as much as they created. Now, though, he’d caught glimpses of humans within their midst. Humans were so far gone into drink and drugs, they probably believed this was all a drug-induced hallucination. These humans must have come from the streets mostly, but there were a few that appeared to come from other sectors of life. “Sickening to watch, isn’t it? They’re completely lost to the glamour of the fae. The only way to get them out of it is to remove the Fae from this realm.”
Hell Hounds Dream Realm Mission
Yolanda now carried the device into a sling in her jaws. Her patrol followed her. All were in their wolf form. They were all highly strung, waiting for word to move out and place the device, or found by the Fae and attacked. No one wanted the last option, so they went out of their way not to attract Fae’s attention. There they lay lying in wait in the dirt beneath several bushes.These Fae appeared very busy partying and playing their twisted games. Some flitted in and out of the Dream Realm. Time meant little within the Dream Realm. With its perpetual twilight. It’s sky bearing no moon and the world itself giving off an odd ethereal glow from no specific place. The foot of a goblin appeared out of nowhere before Yolanda took her by surprise. She held strong and didn’t grasp. The goblin in all its ugly glory failed to see her behind him. So, moments later, he moved off into the distance
Hell Hounds Fallout
Ian and Jaxon paced one of the medical centre’s private waiting rooms with Gregory and several others. Hal was in surgery to have an arrow removed from his back. They’d been told over an hour ago that it would take time, but he’d survive. However, Ian only moments ago found out that Yolanda’s team returned safely except Yolanda. Now Ian paced for a new reason. Yolanda should have awakened with her team. Dr. Graves now worked on her with a team to find out why she wasn’t awake. Everyone in the room could all but taste stress and tension in the air. The medical centre was an example of organized chaos. Between medical staff, druids, and mages. Merfolk acted as orderlies, cleaning staff, caregivers, and even administrative staf
Hell Hounds Armoury Mess
Ian wasn’t sure how long he’d sat with Yolanda quietly in the dim hospital room. His mind ignored the strange noises from outside in the corridor. This sounded more like what he’d expect an animal hospital to sound like than a human one. But he needed to stop himself from that. This wasn’t a human hospital, and the patients weren’t human. The growls, roars, and inhuman screams proved that. But for him now, he felt such a mix of emotions from it. Ian now knew many as people, and his brain couldn’t reconcile their animal sides without feeling their pain. He now felt sure he’d gone into the right profession. He couldn’t see himself in any form of the medical profession or veterinary practice. He wouldn’t be able to do it. Now add in that he’d seen actual magic used to save some of these beings’ lives. It boggled his mind. From putting beings into a
Hell Hounds Awaken
Yolanda’s eyes were extremely heavy when she finally pried them open and then she realized what a waste of time that was. The room was practically pitch dark. The silence was broken by beastly snoring that was all too familiar. Desire was in a chair in the far corner of the room, asleep. This wasn’t where she lay down to enter the Dream Realm. That’s when everything came rushing back to her and she realized she’d beat the odds. She’d survived the blast and returned to herself. But her ankle throbbed quite a bit, and she wondered if she’d broken it. It’s a hazard of the Dream Realm. It may be harder to get injured or die in the Dream Realm, but if you succeeded in either, then it occurred in this realm, too. Findi
Hell Hounds Yolanda’s Independent Streak Rears Its Ugly Head
Ian’s phone trilled with a text message as he lay in the dark. He’d been strong-armed into bed by Gregory’s mother, Edith. If he hadn’t been so tired, he’d have thought it funny. Growing up and for most of his adult life, he’d never truly understood the meaning of a smother. But Edith showed Ian exactly that with Hilda as backup. The two women watched him eat, all the while reminding him that Yolanda needed him to look after himself. He needed to eat and sleep more. But when Ian tried, he couldn’t forget his mate and one of his best friends lying in the hospital not far away. Even Jaxon felt the effects of Edith’s smothering. She’d hauled his butt out of the armoury and force him to go to bed.
