Mikael sighed as he started to explain everything to Viktor. He mostly focused on the weapons, but there was some background information he needed to know too, about who these men were, and the kind of power and influence they had. Or once had, given that at least three of the key members of the network had been killed when they went for Jason, plus Henrik. He left out Ashallia's presence during it all, and the abilities she'd begun showing. Not just because he was wary and distrustful of Vik and his brothers, but also because she wasn't exactly aware that those deaths were mostly caused by her. He didn't think she'd react particularly well to finding out she'd killed someone - or many someones, all at once, with the huge burst of power she'd unleashed at the end. They still weren't entirely sure whether it was her power that had escalated rapidly, or simply that the first wounds she'd transferred were much less severe, but at least the first ones she'd hit with it had been alive en
Shadowsouled 54: Ashallia
Ash was relieved when Jason whispered that they were leaving, even if she didn't like that it seemed to be on Mikael's terms, rather than her own. She quickly slipped into the bathroom to change, and Jason led her from the overcrowded room, and towards the lift. Surprisingly, Nate caught up to them, just as the doors began to close, joining them inside. "Couldn't stand being in there much longer either," he said, still sounding irritated, "Not without giving him a long overdue punch to the face, anyway." Ashallia widened her eyes at him, but Jason chuckled softly, squeezing her hand. "Long overdue, and well deserved," he said quietly, making her frown, uncomfortable with so much talk of violence. Nate have her an apologetic look, and shrugged, "Sorry, Miss, but he really does deserve it." She only widened her eyes more at that, feeling awkward at being addressed so formally. "Uhm.. 'Ash' is fine," she said softly, and he bowed his head slightly, smiling. "Of course, Ash," he said as

Jason moved closer to Ash, his arm around her waist, as he eyed Vera with distrust. From the little he'd seen of her family so far, and the way she'd been so eager to leave them, he didn't much like seeing any of them here. His suspicion of her only grew, as she mentioned Kevin, apparently saying more than she intended. "I'd also like to know," he said suddenly, making the woman frown at him, suddenly seeming nervous. "I.. " she started, looking between him and Ash, "I think that's something Ashallia and I should discuss another time, alone." Ash and Nate both tensed at that, likely disliking her unwillingness to speak about it as much he did. He sighed deeply, turning to Ash, "We should finish your shopping," he said quietly, and Vera's eyes widened, and she shook her head. "Oh my, no. You're not going to leave already, are you dear? We should catch up, it's been such a long time." Ash simply shrugged slightly, and he felt her hurt along with her suspicion. She really didn't like t

Ash let him lead her to a small Italian style cafe, where they sat and had coffee while waiting for Nate to join them again. Jason's company was enjoyable, if sometimes quiet, but he spoke in other ways, especially touch. Like now, as he held her hand over the table, lightly stroking her fingers with his thumb. It was sweet, and she smiled at him, enjoying the feel of him being close. It wasn't long until Nate found them, and Jason moved to sit beside her instead, resting his hand on her thigh as Nate sat opposite. She turned his hand over, slipping her fingers between his and squeezing his hand gently, and he returned it. Most of lunch was spent that way, with lots of little touches, in between eating and talking, and she found herself enjoying it immensely. Nate was good company too, warm and friendly, seeming more like Lukas than Alex, but a little more reserved. She felt lucky to have all of them in her life now, but couldn't help feeling a little nervous as their talk turned to
Shadowsouled 57: Jason
The walk back to the hotel was a pleasant one, as he enjoyed Ash's presence next to him. He could feel her contentment, as she chatted casually to both of them, and couldn't help but let it infect him too. The mood changed as they entered the room, though, finding Luke and Cameron still there. They looked anything but happy, and there was still a certain tension in the air. Nate noticed it immediately too, "What?" he said as he looked over at them, and they both sighed heavily. "Vik is still hesitant," Cameron said, sounding irritated, "Alex and Mikael went with him, hoping to convince them." Jason swore under his breath, shaking his head, and Nate sighed deeply. "It'll be days before they get back," Nate said, sounding frustrated, "How can he still not see the urgency?!" Cameron shrugged, running a hand through his sandy blonde hair. "Can we really be all that surprised?" he said, "Running and hiding when the shit hits the fan is about their only reliable consistency." Lukas nodde
Shadowsouled 58: Ashallia
Ashallia woke early the following morning, yawning and stretching before she opened her eyes, lifting her head to look towards the soft voices she heard. Seeing that Alex was back and sitting talking to Jason and Nate, she reached to grab Jason's shirt off the floor, pulling it on before she sat up. "Good morning, Miss Ash," Alex said to her, and she smiled, "Morning," she answered sleepily, grabbing her underwear off the floor too. She pulled them on and walked over to kiss Jason's cheek, giving the other two a smile as she found some clean clothes and headed to the bathroom. She showered leisurely, enjoying the warmth as she washed herself thoroughly, stepping out a while later to dry and dress herself. When she walked out of the bathroom again a while later, Alex stood, grinning at her. "Lovely as always," he said, looking her over, and she frowned at him, feeling a sense of.. anticipation coming from him. He smiled wider, offering her his outstretched out, "Would you like to se

He felt her melting into him as he kissed her, and she returned it, moaning softly. Their need for each other quickly rose again, and he didn't even try to contain his this time, only briefly breaking the intense kiss to pull his shirt off, then hers, before pushing her backwards. She gasped as her back hit the hallway wall, and he covered her mouth again with his own, teasing her tongue with his. Hers responded immediately, and her fingers reached for the buttons on his jeans, undoing them quickly and pushing them downwards, as he reached behind her, unclipping her bra in one swift motion, pulling the straps off along her arms and letting it drop to the floor. His pants followed, then hers, and he lifted her a moment later, her legs wrapping around his waist as she tilted her head back, moaning his name softly. Her voice was full of the deep, powerful need they both felt, and he sought to satisfy it, holding her hips and lifting his head, looking into her eyes as his hard cock met
Shadowsouled 60: Mikael
Mikael sighed as he arrived back at the hotel room in Belgrave, finding it empty. It had been a long, frustrating few days dealing with Vik and his brothers, and he still wasn't sure it was the best idea to involve them in this, even given how dire the situation was. They were here now though, with everything they'd insisted on bringing, but something still had him feeling on edge about it, and he didn't like it one bit. After checking both rooms and finding them empty, he stepped into the shadows again, stepping out of them again a moment later, just inside Ashallia's front door. He smiled then, hearing them chatting and laughing by the fire, and kicked his shoes off and joined them. They looked hesitant when he entered the room, looking to see if he'd brought others with him, but relaxed some when they realised he was alone."Welcome, cousin," Alex said from the couch, "Did they get everything past the border already?" Mikael grabbed the plush footstool and seated himself on it, sh
