LOGINAnother week.
And nothing.The Greywing Alpha bent the knee to the Bane Moon after Damien's body was returned to them.Apparently the sight of what was done to him by my mates, was enough to make the Alpha negotiate for a complete surrender of his Pack.But Jordon moved again, him and his parents vanishing, without a scent or a trace of where.I had a feeling I knew where, but to even attempt to find out, I had to do something a little reckless.Xavier soundI giggled. "We may not have D.H.D's but," I grabbed the stone from Dane's hand, holding his hand as I placed the stone onto his wrist. "These can activate any portal in the Fey Realms." I showed them how to activate a simple portal, circling the stone with a finger and calling the portal I needed. "Hot Springs." The large pool rippled, the water changing to show the crack of the opening beneath the hot springs on our mountain. I swirled my finger again, closing the portal. Theo chuckled in understanding. "That's why you needed to map them. To name them."I blushed, but nodded. "This one is called Home Gate." I turned on one of the monitors beside the cabinet. A electronic gridded map system blinked to life, blue dots over all of the portals I'd mapped across between Sparrow Falls and Santa Feia, with Gens help, and the names appearing when pressed. "They should be easy to remember, I tried to keep the
Dane and Theo blinked at me, Gabriel shadowed in beside me with a bowl of fruit salad and a glass of apple juice, slowing and stopping when he saw the expression on their faces. "What did I miss?" He gave me an even expression, knowing my smile was a lie. Xavier chuckled. "One of her delusional episodes that turned into...honestly a brilliant idea." He beamed at me. I giggled, pulling on my pants and took the bowl of fruit, turning and sitting on the leather backless couch in the closet.Xavier grabbed my thick boots and socks, kneeling in front of me to put them on me while I ate and explained what I'd asked Xavier to create.The underground garage now had an extra door. One that led down a small elevator that was imbued with magic to ensure it could always get back to the surface. It was large enough to fit the five of us and two more, if we ne
Silvena rose from her stop in front of the fire, her ethereal glow mixing with the fires orange and gold lights. "How?" She asked curiously, seeing I put the note into my new version of Dracula as a bookmark. The library door opened, Dane putting his head in, following my scent to find me. He smiled, seeing I was curled up in the den. "Hi, baby." He said softly, coming in when I raised my hand for him to join me. "Hi," I smiled, he interlaced his fingers with mine, sitting down next to me and kissed my forehead. I sighed at his touch, raising my head to meet Silvena's annoyed, but waiting, expression. She found the key. I said to her, turning to see Theo and Xavier trying to creep into the room unnoticed.They both stepped on their tiptoes, their hands raised and elbows bent."You're really bad T-Rexes." I noted.Xavier set his feet, clawing his hands and let out a screech, stomping across the room at me while I laughed at
I didn't believe in the old gods.But Roxanna had. Her memories and things she'd given to Gabriel to store in the Tombs, helped me start to believe the stories. Before the Goddess, before the Realms were split in three:The Earthen, Fey and Under. There were the Five Gods. Humans had tales of them throughout history as legends and fables. They shared the world, allowing their lines to bleed into each other without restraint. There was no time of peace. Only survival. Cthulhu was one of the Five, The God of the Deep. He controlled the seas, the creatures and the nightmares that hid in the caverns in the core of the oceans. Alongside him, there were the the God of Spirits, Weavers, Fiends and Fey. Their children fought for centuries. Greed, lust, hatred and pride drove them to near extinction. The Gods themselves clashed in the a final battle when the lands became weak and they saw the chance for one to rei
Theo gave a small chuckle and moved to sit behind me on the steps, his knees either side of me and supported me."We all know I'm at the top." He said with great confidence. "Right, Rosie?" He kissed the top of my head.I giggled, holding my hands up in a surrender. "I'll let you guys fight this out on your own. Survivor gets their boo-boos kissed."They gave minor nods of agreement and fell quiet around me while I read.Some of it aloud, more just to hear the words and try and decipher the paragraphs of veiled texts and words of the Sea Realm.Xavier brought a chicken sushi platter, rice and miso soup for me, making everyone else steak, fries and gravy.Even Gabriel are with them, not that he required human food to sustain him, but he enjoyed the flavours and had a sweet tooth he tried to hide.Xavier's and my cooking were something he had yet to refuse.Theo had made a joke about my food not being real sushi."Raw fish is gross." I turn
I looked back at the book. "But why? It's too dangerous....if it's even true." Theo's brow furrowed "What do you mean, Red? What kind of dark magic?" I scowled at the nickname I'd asked to be called in a delirious episode earlier when Theo had played with my hair. He gave a small, but tight, smirk at my expression. I hesitate, unsure how to word the paragraph I read without sounding insane."It's in the temple of Cthulhu. The pearl is linked to its power." I looked up at them "But that's impossible, isn't it? Cthulhu is just a myth, a legend.'Xavier sighed, crossing his arms."Not to the Merfolk, it's not. They believe in the old gods, and the horrors that lurk beneath the waves."Gabriel's ruby eyes met mine, "And you, darling? What do you believe?"I take a deep breath, my heart racing. 'I believe we need to be careful." I turned the page, finding the passage of reason. " I'm the only one who can
Rose Theo moved across the library, kicking the door closed with his ankle. "Lock." He called softly, the voice-activated system beeping and the sound of the mechanical locks slipping into place, reinforcing the door with it. I looked up, seeing he carried a tray of food in his hands, and a
Dane A voice pulled us away from Theo and Rose, a Raven's Guard calling from the territory boarder. A sect of Raven Shifters who worked directly for the Triad. They were espionage experts and always found a way to get what you needed - especially information. Alpha Dane, Xavier - you summo
Rose The air was punched from my lungs, Theo spreading me sinfully and perfectly. I could feel every vein and pulsing ridge he had to offer as he forced himself to seat deep inside of me. He kissed me hard, my claws digging into his back so much, I could smell his blood mixing with mine - bu
"It's almost time," the words were slurred, Mr. Stormbrooke's grey eyes, glazed with something more than bloodlust. He wiped his knuckles, bloody and split from my teeth and bone, stumbling slightly as he stepped back. I tried to move, a small cry leaving me as pain ricocheted like lighting, nea
