《The Reawakened Mates and their Quintuplets》全部章節：第 101 章 - 第 110 章

Kadeem Kadeem shot his eyes down at Rayburn. "Well, this explains a lot.” The vampire’s eyes shone with a particular kind of malice, reminding Kadeem of a vitriolic talking-head on cable news. She was blond with a sassy 90s bob and he hated her in an instant. He quickly widened his stance in preparation fo

Kadeem“Try it and I guarantee, you won't regret it.”With a devilish grin and a Vanna White flourish, Mateo waved his hand over his plate of chocolate pie.The bell chimed behind them, bringing in a rush of warm night air as more patrons filed inside.Kadeem, Mateo, and Riley were settled into the booth of an old diner just outside of the city limits. It was well past midnight, but this place was iconic enough to keep the hordes weary travelers of I-35 coming through its doors. Signed photos of celebrities, including a few Weres, covered the walls.Mateo pushed his plate in front of Kadeem. “Not even joking," he said, with an earnestness that made Kadeem roll his eyes instantly. “This is the best pie I’ve had in my life!”“Mateo," Kadeem said, shaking his head, "You say that about every dessert you lay eyes on.”“This time,” he begged, "I'm telling the truth!"Kadeem leaned back in his chair and took a sip of his black coffee. “I’ll pass.”“Hey jackass,” Riley piped up, the vinyl gro

ArdalThe bell on the door chimes as I step inside the shadowy occult shop. The fragrance of juniper incense hits me, making my heart speed a little as I remember the juniper bush in the forest. I swallow nervously and try to ignore the feeling of unease."Hey Bernard," I say, removing my sunglasses. It takes a second for my eyes to readjust from the bright sunshine to the dim, crowded room made dimmer by the haze of the incense smoke."Well, hello there." The white-haired man looks up from a box of palo santo sticks and bundles of eucalyptus leaves and other herbs. "Back for more, eh? Or something new this time, perhaps?""Same old, same old," I say.He nods and pulls down a stack of books from a shelf behind the counter. "Plenty more to choose from," he says, spreading them out on the countertop for me to parse through. "Funny how popular this subject has grown. I may move these out with the rest of the books." His eyes flicker to the large bookcase in the corner of the room next to

 ArdalWe spend the rest of the evening together in the living room before it’s time to send the quints to bed. It takes quite a bit of cajoling, but Kadeem helps get them to comply with my marching orders. Eventually, their teeth are brushed and pajamas are on.“Are you spending the night with us,” Lottie asks, holding her teddy bear against her chest. “Dr. Jack used to.”I feel the heat creep up my cheeks, but Kadeem doesn’t bat an eye.

 KadeemThe following evening, Kadeem was watching anxiously while their teams played the match. Layla had secured the permission of the softball association to turn on the field lights. As the night deepened, moths around the lights swirled like a galaxy of stars.Ardal struck out when it was her time at bat, but the rest of Kadeem's team left no stone unturned and hit ball after ball. They were neck-in-neck with Hart's team by the ninth inning and Kadeem placed Ardal in her usual spot in right field. To everyone's dismay, she fumbled two catches putting them at an almost su
