Alek

I woke up to a faint, barely there, strange scent lingering in the air in our room. As I discreetly scanned the room, I lay still with my muscles coiling in anticipation of an attack. Finding no threat, I sat up and took a deep breath, trying to find the source of the new scent. That was what made me so good at my job. My sense of smell was better than anyone else's, and it had saved my life at least a hundred times.

When the scent trail led me to my beautiful sleeping mate, I stared at he

  • Roll The Dice   Watching Her From Above

    AlekI looked down at Tawnie from my place beside the Goddess. I knew that she would be angry, broken, and filled with guilt, but I hadn’t expected this level of fury. When she walked back into the casino, all of her employees, shifter and human, fled from her. She exuded such an intense, dominant, murderous aura that even Storm was casting her small, worried glances while my brother, who had been waiting by the door for the women to arrive, trailed behind the two of them. Even in the afterlife, I could feel how truly predatory her actions and aura were. If I were there with them and wasn’t Tawnie’s mate, I would have been shitting my pants too. The thing about vampires, as every shifter knew, was that they were unpredictable. Vampires would tell you that they loved you, truly meaning it while they simultaneously ripped your throat out.I watched sadly as she walked up to the third floor, where Andre and his people had been told to stay during their stay. She took a deep breath, inhal

  • Roll The Dice   Those Responsible

    GalenAfter Alek cut our link, I immediately started pacing back and forth while Storm watched me curiously from the bed.“Was that Alek?” she finally asked, making me stiffen.“Yeah,” I grumbled as I resumed pacing.I heard the bedsprings creak as she climbed off the bed to slowly approach me. “What did he say?”I shook my head. “Nothing.”She slammed both of her hands into my back, sending me flying forward. “Look here, asshole! You have two seconds to tell me what he said, or I will go find Tawnie and make her tell me what’s going on!”I rolled over to glare up at her. “I swore not to intervene!”She stiffened as her eyes darkened with anger. “Not to intervene? WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?!” When all I did was stare at her defiantly, she threw her hands up in frustration. “Fine! Tawnie, it is!”She grabbed a bathrobe off the hook beside the door before rushing out of the apartment with me hot on her heels.“Storm, wait! Please! You shouldn’t do this! It’s going to ruin everything!

My sense of smell was better than anyone else's, and it had saved my life at least a hundred times.When the scent trail led me to my beautiful sleeping mate, I stared at her in shock. I knew she hadn't left the bed while I was asleep, so I was confused for a moment about how her scent could have shifted. I started at the top of her hair, slowly making my way lower as I tried to determine where exactly the scent was coming from. When I reached her belly button, I was hit with the scent full-on. I lay my head on her stomach, smiling to myself as I gently stroked it.Now I knew why the Goddess had put it on my heart to retire. She was giving me everything that a rogu

  • Roll The Dice   Reawakening

    I raced out of the bar, using my vampire speed, to exit the casino in seconds while Ingrid and Hammond followed behind me, not bothering to give Alecto even another second of attention. Not that their presence mattered to me in the slightest. The only thing on my mind was getting to Alek. If I got to him in time, I might be able to use my venom to bring him back.As soon as I stepped out of the casino’s doors, I leapt into the sky, shifting into mist. I vaguely heard Ingrid curse below me before shifting, but I didn’t care as I launched myself at water molecules in the air. Traveling this way was very hard on my body and weakened me tremendously, which was why I didn’t do it often, but I needed to get to Alek as soon as I could. It was the only way I could possibly save him. About 15 miles outside of my city, I picked up on Storm’s scent and changed direction to head further out into the desert, leaving Ingrid and Hammond to trail after my scent.When I finally saw Galen and Storm in

  • Roll The Dice   Finding Them

    After a long moment of not being able to breathe, think, or move, I let Ingrid help me back to my feet while I took deep, calming breaths before I wrapped my centuries-old self-taught self-control tightly around myself. It was going to be the one thing that kept me from breaking. Breaking was something that I couldn’t afford to do right at the moment. I had to find out who was involved in Alek’s death. After I dealt with every single last one of them, I could wallow in my pain and decide on the best way to handle my grief, no matter what option that was. When I took a step towards the table, Ingrid placed her hand on my shoulder, keeping me in place.“Tawnie, you should go home,” she advised me softly, squeezing my shoulder.“I insist that we finish this meeting,” I said almost harshly.“Tawnie-”I shrugged her hand off to walk over to my chair that had toppled over when I leaped up. I picked it up and sat down, folding my hands on the table in front of me. I waved my hand towards her

  • Roll The Dice   Where Is He?

    Early the next morning, Alek rolled over to kiss my naked shoulder. It was going to be another exhausting day of meetings, especially considering that neither of us had slept at all during the night. I groggily smiled at him as I thought about the way that we had spent the night making love. As soon as we had spoken about having a child, we had started practicing for when it was safe to actively make one, not that it would be any different. We never used protection or tried to prevent pregnancy. If I were honest, the thrill of feeling him inside of me with nothing on was almost more than I could bear,“I could get used to you being the first thing I see when I wake up every morning,” I murmured as I gently placed my fingers on his cheek.He chuckled before kissing my fingertips. “Just like I could get used to you being the last thing I see before I close mine.”“How long will it be before you are officially retired?” I asked.He tugged me onto his chest, wrapping his arm around my sho
