“I’m what?” Amira let his words register for a second as a glass slammed down on the table, forcing them both to separate from one another and take notice of the waitress standing at the end of the table with Aiden’s drink in hand. There was a forced smile on her lips as she stood up straight, yet there was a twitch in her brow.
“I’m so sorry about that. I can be such a klutz sometimes.” She giggled, her eyes sweeping over Amira and rests on Aiden, “I would be more than happy to replace this drink for you.”
Aiden slid the glass over to him, taking a napkin from a dispenser just off to the side of them and cleaned up the minor spill the waitress had created, “That’s alright. Accidents happen.” Amira watched his face, not a hint of a smile anywhere on his lips.
“Are you ready to order?” She asked him, ignoring Amira’s existence again. She sat back, obviously annoyed with the situation, but not very surprised either. She couldn’t deny that Aiden was one very goo
He half expected her to not come along. To turn away and go back to her apartment. After explaining everything, he expected her to drop all contact and maybe even leave the town. Yet here she was, looking unsure of the situation as she stood before his mother, his grandfather and... Miss J?"Hey there, Sugar." She smiled warmly, her grey eyes sparkling knowingly."Janice?" Amira addressed her questioningly, "What are you doing here?""Well," She looked over to Lymeria who smiled a bit awkwardly, "I believe we're all here under the same reason." Her grey eyes turned back to Amira, "You have questions, and I fortunately have your answers.""So, you knew who they are? Why didn't you say anything?" Amira asked her, but the Witch was already shaking her head."This is more than about hunting down Rogues, Amira." Her eyes darkened slightly, "So much more..." She looked over to Lymeria again who nodded and stepped forward.
Why am I even thinking of considering the idea?She tightened the strap around her black boots before slipping a wooden stake into a slit she had created within it. She looked down at her black box, running her fingers over the selection of daggers and smaller knives before grabbing two identical knives and put those in the holders on her belt. She side eyed the firearm, a pistol she was all too familiar with from practicing every day with Jax. She ran her fingers over the barrel, her eyes softening as she thought back to the days she had spent with her father."All I ever wanted was to make you proud. You and mom." She mumbled softly to herself. As if on queue, her phone buzzed on the counter. She glanced at the caller I.D and noticed it was Leyla that was calling her. She hesitated for a moment, her mind spiraling as she tried to figure out a way to describe her situation before picking up the call."Hey sweetheart, I haven't heard from you in a bit.
The muscles in his chest tensed from the slightest graze of her fingertips. The thin, sharp needle pierced his flesh, weaving the thin string over the still open wound on his chest. Blood had dried around the edges, but with each tightening, a fresh new flow rose up and tainted his lightly swollen skin. The contact of her fingers gliding across his skin sent his nerves into overdrive, but he managed to maintain his composure before her. No word had been said since the fight with the Vampires not so long ago. With his slow healing abilities, Amira had assisted him back home under the guise of the shadows. To no surprise to him, Lymeria had been waiting at the garage entrance. The moment they were in her sights, she had bolted inside to retrieve a first aid kit and towels. Amira didn't speak a word to either of them as she took the first aid kit and started to clean and stitch him up while his body gradually regenerated."I don't get it. How did we not sense them
She's been gone for almost two months now with little updates about that damn Alpha. I should've dealt with it instead, what was I thinking sending her alone?Jax tossed the heavy sack in the back of the jeep, letting out a soft grunt as he massaged his shoulder. Sweat dripped from his chin as he ruffled his hair and gazed out over the cracked desert. He had been down in Arizona for a week with Leyla tracking what they assumed was a Skinwalker, but what they found was nothing close to what they believed. He side glanced the sack, a black liquid substance oozing from the bottom of it.Whatever this thing is, it's no where in our archives."Looks like whatever it is was hold up in a cave a mile out from here." Leyla spoke up as she approached the jeep, taking off her button up and slung it over her shoulder. He glimpsed her direction for a second, spotting the yellow tank top she wore and the thin chained silver necklace he had gifted her sometim
Sulfur clung to her lungs, painting them a black so dark it could rival the very room she was chained in. The chains around her wrists and ankles gave off a faint golden glow, the ancient text she tried to familiarize herself with deeply engraved in the obsidian links hummed softly with old power. Each breath she inhaled left her senses in hellish flames.How long has it been now? I have lost track after the first couple hundred years...She twisted her wrists slightly, the chains rubbing against her raw flesh. She picked up the stench of burning skin from them, but years of captivity left her numb to the pain. The spell on the chains flickered for a second, drawing her attention downward to the extremely dimly lit floor. It was only for a second before the flow of power returned to it's usual state, but it was enough to put a smirk on her lips.The devotion and love of my acolytes is
"Whoa." The boy crouched down beside Aiden's motorcycle, running his finger over the front tire, "I want a bike." Aiden chuckled softly from beneath a Honda, "I'm sure you'll have no problem if you asked your mom to get you one." He swiveled out of the way as oil dripped down from above him, "Dammit, why can't people take care of their damn vehicles?" "She won't let me have one. Dad won't either I'm sure." The boy sighed. Aiden raised a brow when he felt movement around his legs and the boy shift himself beneath the car with him, "Can I have yours then?" "No way. I built that bad boy with my own hands." Aiden denied him without glancing over to him. "Can you build me one then?" He asked insistently. Aiden finally peered over to the boy with the red puppy dog eyes and let out a sigh. "Fine. I'll build you one and give it to you for your sixteenth birthday. Will that suffice?" He asked him. The boys eyes widened and seemed to sparkle with excitement. "Really? You really mean that,
I feel so hot...She barely made it inside her door when Aiden pinned her against the wall and his lips descended onto her own. His hands gripped her waist, pressing his hips against hers with earnest. Her fingers dipped below his shirt, tracing his fresh scars and the hills of his abs. He let go of her waist, crouching down slightly and picked her up by her thighs. Their lips broke away, letting her gasp for air as he carried her up the steps. His lips caressed her collarbone before nibbling gently, his hands squeezing her thighs as he reached her floor."A-Aiden..." Her fingers tugged on his hair, his tongue flicking over her collarbone. She panted, feeling this intense heat coursing through her veins with each lick. Her legs tightened around his waist, tugging his hair hard enough to bring his head back up and crashed her lips against his. He growled softly, his tongue pushing past her lips and collided with hers. He moved past the coffee table, knocking ov
Jax sat across from him, his eyes dark and brows furrowed together with his arms folded over his chest. Leyla said beside him, her own brows coming together with a wrinkle of worry between them as she flickered her gaze between the Hunter and the Werewolf. Amira sat beside Aiden quietly, yet her heart was drumming so loud he was sure they could hear it to. She casted her gaze to her lap where her fingers rolled over one another. Aiden sat with his back straight, his own arms folded against his now clothed chest and staring down Jax. It had been an awkward sit down for the last ten minutes with no one saying a word after Jax and Leyla walked in unannounced.Jax's gaze waivered as he shot a quick glance toward Amira and in that quick instance saw the stubborn fortitude falter. Aiden shifted his gaze toward Amira from the corner of his eyes, watching closely as her fingers came to a halt before clasping her hands tightly together. He could sense her struggle and co
