Semua Bab Wide Awake Chaos: Shadow Warrior Series: Bab 91 - Bab 100

~Luc’s Point of View~*Behind, behind,* I shout over mind-link as I dodge a vampire and slice another’s head clean off with the machete I stole from our weapons storage at headquarters. It was in one of the rooms that was supposed to be off limits. But it reminded me too much of a sword I once had, that was highly effective.I spin and catch the one who’d just lunged at me, and swipe my mighty sword right up his torso. He cries out in pain as he falls, and I land on him, stabbing the sharp point of my machete into his heart. For good measure, I twist the blade.“He’s here! I make about twenty guards with him, but it’s Caden,” someone shouts. My head jerks up and I quickly jump off the corpse. *Incoming, enemy witches,* Shane shouts, over mind-link. Suddenly, fireballs start dropping from all over, and I dodge one that nearly hits me.Dante surges through me, but he knows he can’t fight this battle on four legs. I try to focus on where the attacks are coming from, but between the smoke

~Luc’s Point of View~“Do it and die,” I say, lifting an eye halfway to see a dog staring me down. He’s already started to lift his leg but unfortunately I’m not confident I can get to him before he pees on me. Hopefully he doesn’t know that.As a last resort since I can’t move, I hiss and he gives me one last look of defiance before trotting off. I take the small victory and close my eyes once more. The sun is brutal, and it took every ounce of energy I could gather to crawl into the shade of a building. I have no clue where I am, what time it is or who might find me first. Friend or foe. That bit of fairy blood was only enough to give me a short burst and now I’m more than feeling the lack of fresh blood. Not to mention the loss of my own and the searing pain from the glass still in my skin. The last thought I have before I drift off, is that I could easily take Jeeves in a fair fight.“Hey, HEY,” I hear, as I try to open my heavy eyes.SMACKSMACKThe jolt shocks my system as some

~Hudson’s Point of View~“Damn,” I say, looking at the insane “house” that Harlow apparently lives in. It’s a fucking city.Turning, I see what looks like three or four houses, molded into one, they just go on and on. And this is just what I can see from the front! How many families live here??*It’s got big forest though, back there,* my wolf Harlan notices, wagging his tail.It’s no pack, it looks cold and shallow. Where are the kids running around, the smells of meat cooking? There’s not even any dogs! I saw a human college university once during my captivity and that kinda looks like this place.*He’s a fairy! They can’t have pets obviously. We’re going to behave until it’s time not to. We don’t know what Harlow’s life has been or is right now and the last thing we need to do is have her hate us. We’re also an uncle now so don’t fuck that up. I need to see that pup,* Harlan warns. I sigh as I look over at Luc. He’s far more nervous than me and I don’t really know why. If he’s her

~Rowan’s Point of View~“This is a council and Shadow matter, fuck off,” Godfrey seethes, as I accept a map from Dina. My brothers puff out their chests and take flanking positions behind me. While it should bring me pride, it mostly pisses me off. I still can’t just let go of being locked up a year… a fucking year… and they did nothing to find me. But I can’t dwell on it right now. I don’t believe a single one of these councilors doesn’t go behind the others backs a lot of the time. And they all come to the McGraths at one point or another. The difference is some do it for themselves… like Quinn. Others like Dina do it because she is restricted by the asinine rules of the council. But in the handful of times over the years we’ve helped her, she’s never done anything I would consider illegal by their standards.Quinn is a beyond successful wealthy businessman, and has no reason to go outside their boundaries to continue to pad his own pockets. But he does it anyway. For kicks, maybe.

~Harlow’s Point of View~“Don’t ever leave again,” I whisper, as I wrap my arms tightly around Rowan. He squeezes me close and I inhale his smoky earth scent I can’t get enough of. Hope practically skips around in my head, since it’s been two days without him.“I hated to be away acushla, but we’re still trying to find my brother and Caden,” he says, making me pull back. The look on my face must say it all.“No, Connor would never join forces with him. It’s more likely Connor took his soul and is grappling with what he’s discovered. Or he’s still slowly torturing him and enjoying it too much,” Rowan says, as he begins to take off his tie. Like he’s talking about the weather or what’s for dinner. Killing… torturing…I still can’t wrap my head around what his family is, maybe I never will.Several males pass by the hallway with weird looking instruments and equipment.“Angel was here for far too long. While I doubt she’d have placed any listening devices or anything else, I’m not taking
