Kane "Why isn't she calling yet?" I hiss as I look at my phone for the hundredth time. My fingers are literally glued to the device- I lock and unlock it every few seconds.  "She's having fun," Thaddeus groans. I get that he's not happy that I'm paying so much attention to the damn phone, but there's no need to act like something's up his ass.  Just as I'm about to give him a piece of my mind, Selena's name appears on the screen. "Speak of the Devil," I whisper, grinning like an idiot. "Yes, love?" I answer the call and lean back in the chair.  "Kane, I'm p-" Selena shouts right before the call ends. I jump up and tap the screen to call her b

Selena   "Does the baby trouble you?" I turn my head to the right to face the woman responsible for my care.    As far as I can see, she's pretty young, but I've been told that many of the Guardians are hundreds of years old, so I don't dare to question her.   She hands me a pillow, but before I can grab it, she pulls it back and helps me lie down.    "I'm okay; thank you for your care. I really appreciate everything you do for the baby and me," I smile at the woman as she helps me to force the pillow under my back.    "You meant babies," she corrects me.    I open my mouth, but

Kane "You cleaned. No empty bottles; the office doesn't smell like a whiskey factory. Good job, I'm impressed." Cody marches into the office and settles on the sofa.  "Self-pity won't get me anywhere. If I don't do something, no one will find Selena." I stare at the stack of paperwork that has become a part of my life since I accepted the damn title.  After a few minutes of silence, I sigh, drop the pen, and look at Cody, "Alright, you got it." "Got what?"  "My attention, you got all my damn attention. The paperwork won't do itself, so entertain me, tell me something good. Don't bother saying anything if it's another problem on my shoulders.

Selena The voice sounds familiar, but instead of focusing on it, I take a few deep breaths. This is one of the most important moments of my life- I can't get distracted. My boys are counting on me! My gaze wanders around the neat office as I bite my lower lip. The last time I was this nervous was when I moved in with Kane. If he could see me now, I'm sure he'd be proud of me.  A few more minutes pass, and no one enters the office, so I sit down in the chair in front of the massive desk.   I set my resume on the surface and eye it for the last time. It should be good. Sure, I have no experience in the field, but I can learn quickly, and they're desperate for new employees.  

Leran pov I walk to the others, and they immediately bow to me. For now, until the rest of us awaken, I've taken upon the responsibility of the leader. I can hardly wait for the revolution to finally begin. Soon we'll stand as mighty as we once were. Then, the mortals and the supernaturals will learn their place. Soon.  I still can't understand why a human was chosen as the Queen of the last Obsidian King. As vile as it sounds, at least she's naive enough to believe in what I am saying. Bringing her down will be easier than I thought.  I stand with the others and think of the sweet victory we will enjoy in a few weeks. We've waited for centuries; a few weeks seems like nothing.  "I think some of us sh
