Eighty One

Gabriel and Theo flanked me as we stepped through the portal first, the water rippling as we passed into the underwater city.A dome arched around, high into the ocean. The area was a mix of sand and coral formations, dried from the oxygen that swirled the waterless seascape, forming to create structures of homes for the merfolk who once lived there.Peaking from the centre of the city, the reason it held no merfolk occupants, was the coral temple of Cthulhu.The bumped and twisted sea stone bottom was darkened, like fire had charred and licked near the top where it faded out, revealed the once white underneath.The pearl caused the change, its ties to the sea God and dark magic twisting and polluting all it touched.I went to continue walking, Theo grabbed my arm."Wait." His tone was quick and hissed, his eyes scanning the city before us.Dane and Xavier stepped through, their eyes joining Theo's to scan."Closing the portal." I said to Lisa

"I know I like you alot." I admitted with a small blush. A smirk broke on his lips. "You only like me alot, huh?" He leaned in, his scent of chocolate and smoke was... irresistible. I wanted to devour this beautiful man. My heart thrummed erratically. "Okay," I swallowed on the feeling that swelled, my blushing rising. "Maybe, more than alot." He chuckled, but it was hinted and he turned to the cloaked figure before us. "Will regain it?" The hood moved in a nod. "If she is worthy." The silver haired man hissed. "What does that mean?" The blonde echoed him a hiss of his own. "If this a fucking merfolk -"The hooded figure moved, throwing their hood back and gave a loud aggressive noise. "Do I look like a merfolk?" It shouted. A head of a sealion, the cloak fell away, revealing a humanesque body of a woman, but covered with thick fur and webbed hands and feet. The men blinked, hesitating to answer as I got to my feet smiling at the

Eighty Three

There was a reason Gwen had tested me before allowing me to enter. The temple she'd been hiding the pearl in the last three weeks had had attempted thefts of their own.The dungeon on the under levels of the temple was filled with three groups of lookalikes. The only one missing, was Gabriel's clone.None of them seemed to be able to mimic a vampire well enough, so they didn't even try. The one that did, hung in another section of the dungeon, his body hovering a pit of ocean water that allowed a deep-sea monster to occasionally pick him to pieces while magic kept him suspended.From what I could hear, he was still alive after Gwen had him there for three days already. She wanted to see if he'd change back under 'extreme stress'. The others had arrived throughout the last two weeks, each from different portals, but they all had one thing in common. They were magically helped. A s

Alison looked at Dane and Xavier with a moment of relief. My rage flared.Like a fire having gasoline thrown on it.I screamed, my voice shaking the room and a hatred overtook me. "I'LLKILLYOU!"Gabriel shadowed in, his arms wrapping mine in lock across my chest before I could pull claws, or the gun, and shadowed me to the portal. Theo activated it as we approached. I snarled, fighting against Gabriel, trying to deactivate the home portal. He threw me into the command room, Lisa turning and shouting as he stood over me. "What the fuck?" Gabriel sidestepped as I tried to head for the ring. I snarled, hissing violently and swiped a clawed hand at him. He kicked my wrist, a slip of shadow dislodging my Portal Stone.It clattered across the room, Lisa threw herself between us, her back to me. "Wrong way!" Gabriel shouted as I lunged, knocki

Eighty Five

Dane handed me a glass of water, I took it, going to say thank you, only to feel and taste the dry and cracked feeling inside my mouth. I drank the water without stopping, feeling it rehydrate my mouth almost painfully.I licked my cracked lips, panting as I looked at my mates who watched me with concern. "Silvena said I'm back?" I accepted the new glass of water Dane gave me. They all scowled at me. Xavier spoke, leaning forward slightly and cupped my cheek. "Your anger....it changed Silvena for a moment." He seemed to scratch my cheek with his thumb.It felt dry and....Xavier pulled his hand away, a shimmering black scale pulling free. A slight sting sang on the area he'd taken it from on my cheek, the skin I touched incredibly soft, and sensitive. My eyes widened, feeling add bumped smoothness under my fingers, stopping when I saw my arm, my long sleeve torn. They were covered in.....Dragon scales. Silvena sighed,

The flickering candles that surrounded the pentagram I had drawn in the middle of my alter room cast an eerie dance of shadows on the walls. Gabriel, watched from the shadows, his presence a comforting hum in the back of my mind. Though annoyed about, I could feel his arms crossed and the disapproving scowl on his face, he had promised to stay hidden, to let me handle this reunion on my own. But I knew he was ready to intervene, to protect me from the man who had once sought to destroy himMy heart raced with anticipation as I began the incantation, the words echoing through the silence like a whispered secret. My body warmed, the room grew colder as a lash of wind snuffed out the candles, their grey smoke being pulled to the centre of the pentagram, gathering to form a doorway. The man I sought was no longer among the living, not because he was dead, but it was harder to summon a wizard from another plane of existence, especially the Death Plane.

I turned, my heart racing and raising my hand to stop it, but stopped.Gabriel sat in the sofa chair in the corner, his shadow dropped as he gave a disappointed sigh, my eyes fell to the arrow caught in hand.Stopping it just before his heart. Gabriel's eyes locked onto Abe's, his gaze cold and unforgiving. "Abe," he clipped. "I'd like it, just once, for you to not attack me in my own home." Abe sneered, but a twinkle flicked in his eyes looking at Gabriel as he rose. "Dracula, you're as slippery as a snake's hind legs. But I'll get you one of these days."Gabriel looked at the arrow for a moment, rising to his feet then the crossbow Abe lowered into a side holster where it hung under his cloak. Gabriel scoffed, shadowing the arrow into the quiver on Abe's other hip, and slipped his hands into his pocket with a bored expression. "Still using outdated weapons, I see." Abe shrugged, his mouth twisti

They knew of him, knew he was one of my mates and they accepted that. But, seeing a Vampire was still an unsettling sight to Shifters. To anyone really. Gabriel gave them a kind smile, looking across the table and spotting the alcohol.His smile turned on Henry. I saw the Wolf rise for a moment at the fangs. Gabriel took my glass and moved to sit between Xavier and Henry, raising his glass to Henry. "How do you find it?" He smiled.Henry blinked, his tension faltering as his hand fell around his own glass.He raised it, taking a sip before answering. "It's pretty good." Henry said in a strained but polite voice. Abe was stretching dramatically behind us, grunting as he stepped, well more stumbled, to the table."What's all this, then?" He waved a finger across the table. Gabriel smirk, summoning another chair between him and Xavier, and two more glasses in front of them.Xav flicked his glass away. "I'm not apa

Of the twelve clones that had been sent to Atlantia, I knew every single one of them. Each held a memory when I saw their faces, memories that almost made my rage unbearable. Among them was Jordon's parents, disguised as Theo and myself. I had to leave the... negotiations up to the others. Gwen, Dane and Theo were dealing with the last group, the one who'd had a Gabriel clone, though the man behind it I didn't recognise. Gabriel had sent Naomi and Oliver to see if they could help. I'd given them both runes instead of stones, that would only active when they were in the presence of a stone-holder. Something some of the Triad disagreed with, they believed more than the five of us should have access.I was still refusing. The stones put a target on anyone wearing them, but they refused to let it go.Thena and Henry had been at our door at dawn, Kaiden asleep in a carrier and Stacey barely awake.I set them up in the lounger

The sun was starting to set. Dane and Theo still weren't back. I paced in the control room, the shields drawn back so I could see the portal. They should have been back by now. They're probably just having fun. Xavier soothed from upstairs in the kitchen, making dinner for the families who'd stopped by with the kids. Mostly because Thena had told Marilyn and Paige about Gabriel and Abe. Now, they were all in the library drinking, while the kids watched the tv in the loungeroom den and Xav stayed close by. Then why aren't they responding to any communications? I snapped back at him, turning on my toes to start another loop of the room.Stop pacing, Tiny. I can hear the stomping from here. The elevator buttons lit up, turning my focus to the camera systems. I rolled my eyes and threw myself into the chair with my back to Xavier as he came in. "You're going to start overthinking." He rubbed my shoulde
