The Enemy Never have my people ever known me for my patience. It’s not like centuries ago when our kind was ruthless in getting the job done. Now in this day and age, everything is far more strategic. You have to be a forward thinker, with technology and so many humans knowing about our kind it’s too risky to start a war of any kind. The snowy mountainside is beautiful this time of year. The snow is falling heavily, making visibility even poor for us Vampires. Having the wolf child isn’t exactly starting a war but it is a start to what I want. I smile in anticipation for Mazelina Winslow. The moment she steps into my home I will send the child back to the pack and keep Mazelina for myself. I have her room ready for her, just how she likes it. “Sir?” Anton announces himself as he enters my study. “Yes?” I enquire without turning around. “Geri has arrived.” “Good. Have they sent Mazelina to her rooms?” “Ah, um.” “Spit it out, Anton.” “No, Sir. She has not.” I turn swiftly. “An

Landon A whoosh sound and Sally appears before my eyes. I rush to her side and grab her by the shoulders. “What the hell happened to you?”“Fenrir.”I shake my head, suddenly feeling sick. “What? No, I don’t believe it. He would never.”“He believes Samara lives.”I stare at her confused, “What do you mean, ‘Fenrir believes’?”“He believes Samara lives through Mazelina.”“Maze’s wolf’s name is Samara,” Elion says. I glare at him, I know that, but Sally didn’t.“Then it’s true.” Sally falls onto her chair, “Samara has come back.”“This shouldn’t be a surprise to you, Sally. We all know how we receive our shifter spirits.”“Does she know?” she asks.“No. So many shifters have the name Samara from long before Mazelina was born.” I shake my head in exasperation.“I’m calling my Alpha right now.” Elion leaves the room.“We should stop him,” Sally tells me but doesn’t make a move to stop him herself when we both know she could.“No. Rush and Maze need to know what they’re up against. What

LandonBlood lingers heavily in the air as I walk down the long hallway of the small prison to where the captive is being held in the cell. I told Rush to stay with Mazy,One to comfort her and, Two, I’m certain he would kill this guy for touching his mate before we get any answers from him.As I approach the door, I can already hear Elion using our captive as a punching bag. I watch from the small window in the door before entering, it’s true what they say about your firsts, you always remember them.I remember the first time I hunted with my father, the first time I rode a horse, the first time switching on the light, using the telephone and the first time touching a woman…. It also means I remember the first time I tortured a man, the first time I killed, the first battle, the first loss.I’m 452 years old and still, I remember all the firsts like they were yesterday, the scenery may have changed, but it’s all the same, torture and killing is never easy when one has a conscience li

Mazelina Pacing, pacing more freaking pacing.“Please Mazy for the love of Goddess please sit down!” Alice shouts making me jump.“Sorry. It’s just this waiting.”“I know, I’m sorry I shouted. I can’t stand it either.” Alice stands and paces, “Shit now I’m doing it.” She flops down onto the couch next to me.“Why are they taking so long? Can’t Sally just twinkle her nose and poof, they appear?”“Oh, please stop this poor girl from watching terrible television.”A young-looking woman with beautiful dark golden-brown skin, brown eyes, and wild curly dark hair.“Sally Myers,” I murmur. I recall the images of her in Landon’s mind.“I do wish a twitch of my nose could teleport me, but I don’t have that ability.” She winks at me.Elion and Landon both walk in with Charlotte happily skipping between them, holding both of their hands.“MOMMY!” She squeals running towards me. I open my arms as she jumps holding her close to my chest, “Lotty! I’ve missed you so much.” I bury my nose in her ne

Mazelina Surprisingly dinner went well, with little to no arguing. Amelda was very quiet, taking us all in, which was unnerving in itself. I’m wondering if a bit of Landon’s paranoia is rubbing off on me. I know something’s a little off with her, but since sitting down together for tea earlier today…“What’s got you thinking so hard?” Rush whispers against my ear.I grin and look up at him through my lashes, “I’m thinking about how we are going to get Lotty to sleep in her bed tonight.”“You don’t have to worry about that. She’s sleeping with her cousins this evening.” He winks, smug bastard.“Shall we move to the sitting room and have a drink? Daisy and I have something we would like to share with you all.” Aries announces.We all exit the dining room and enter the sitting room; the kids are already upstairs with Akers and a couple of other guards monitoring them.“You know, don’t you?” Rush whispers as he takes my hand and places it on his arm, leading the way.“I don’t know what y
