Semua Bab Wide Awake Chaos: Shadow Warrior Series: Bab 81 - Bab 88

~Harlow’s Point of View~“Rowan! Fancy meeting you here,” a voice says, as Rowan tries to move us into the hallway leading to the bathroom. My face is flushed completely red from his intense kiss, and I’m still breathless. I feel my mate’s strong and large frame completely tense next to me. I jerk my head to look at Rowan, and his jaw is clenched. I squeeze his hand, reassuring him.*That’s weird for him,* Hope says, confused. “Sally,” he grits out, clearly annoyed.*Ew! I hate her, whoever she is. Assert your dominance over our mate. I don’t like the familiar way she’s eyeing him,* Hope insists. I plaster on my best fake smile, perfected after many interactions with Rowan’s family.“Hello, I’m Rowan’s fated mate Harlow,” I say, though I don’t make any attempt to shake her hand. If he hates her, I’m not putting her scent on me.“Fated mate,” she squeals with big eyes. Several others maneuver around us, and it's obvious we’re in the way. “Yes,” Rowan snaps, as he pulls me tighter. Sa

~Luc’s Point of View~~The Next Night~*Behind you,* I shout, over mind-link. The warrior drops, and the vampire flies right over him unable to stop his momentum. I dash to him, grab his head and rip it clean off. I quickly drop the head as the body twitches at my feet.*Fuck this one was bad,* Dante whines, as we struggle to catch our breath. Normally a fight doesn’t take so much out of us, but this one, this time… they were ready for us. It was a complete blood bath and while we were outnumbered four to one… we’re far more organized and trained. Well the other Shadows are, I’m still making it up as I go. Unfortunately, we lost two warriors and I have to carry that burden. “We didn’t have the element of surprise. But if they had advanced warning why the fuck didn’t they flee? Dumbasses,” Gaelin sighs, gasping for air himself. He is a hybrid fairy/witch and it took a lot of balls for him to come out tonight. But finding new ways to lure newborn vampires has called for drastic measur

*Two hours prior*~Harlow’s Point of View~“Could you be anymore perfect,” I whisper, rubbing my nose over Reha’s cheek. A yawn escapes me and I see it's past midnight, but when the baby won’t let you sleep for long, it is what it is. *But we love it,* Hope coos. I definitely need to get used to the whole nursing thing, my boobs are already a bit pissy with me and though my milk only came in this evening, my girl is greedy.I really should be putting her down in the small bassinet we have here at the cottage and leave her be. But I can’t. I’m nearly too afraid I’ll blink and be dreaming. She’s really here, in my arms. Not only that, I remember Rowan’s parents demanding that we’d move into the big house once the baby was born. I’m not ready. The idea of it is too overwhelming.“Just like her mama, so perfect,” Tate coos, rubbing his thumb over the tiny bit of soft hair she has. He then leans down and kisses my forehead, making Hope swoon. When he sits next to me on the couch, I sigh. M

~Godfrey’s Point of View~“What… what is this place,” Harlow says, clearly nervous. No, already scared shitless. Her poor human heart is nearly beating out of her chest. It makes my black little heart almost flutter.The strong waft of an infant is practically oozing off of her, and if I didn’t have so much practice at denying my temptation it might be impossible. Could Luc resist it? I’m not entirely sure. It would be quite the gamble. All I need is to put him on trial for draining a teenager.“Tombs of the imprisoned, some dead,” I say, casually. Who knows by now, technically they’re all really dead.“Wha… why would you bring me here,” she questions, holding a plate with a candle. We finally stop at the wall which had held Luc Payne’s secrets. It’s still broken, nobody’s bothered to fix it.“This one,” I say, holding up a few fingers in thought.She lifts up her light and wiggles her nose at the stench of … death. Dust, decay and who knows what.“This was Luc’s home for eight hundred
