Semua Bab RISEN: THE LYCAN PRINCESS: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Matei D´AngeloI made my way home, concerned about Roger and Angie´s safety. I knew it was a risky endeavor that Roger had put himself up to, but I never imagined that the whole thing could turn south this soon.I arrived home using the direct portal to it, the one that is concealed in my office and that only allows Iris and the kids to go back and forth. A little perk I had Allegra set for me."Iris..." I called out to my mate, and she walked out holding Aurie´s hand."Hey, you're home early..." she said, and I laughed."I should be home at this time always," I said, and she nodded. Lately, work has been piling up, and I have been arriving later than usual. I knew my mate and the kids had resented a bit my late nights and crazy schedule, but until we get everything under control, I need to put the hours in. I know Iris understands, and I pray to the Goddess, that the kids could forgive me in the future, at least I hope they don´t resent me."What happened? You look concerned," She co

RogerI smiled. I knew Angie was the best for the job. She is driven, smart, and she will go after our best interest at heart. When I told Matt who I thought would be our best hidden ace, he laughed.I know that, as her older brother, he sees her as a little girl, but she is further from that. Maat told me to follow my better judgment, maybe trying to give me room to reconsider, but there is nothing to think about. Angie, my mate, undercover in my office, will be the best pair of eyes and ears I could have around. The only thing that complicates things is that we will have to stop living together.I mean for the outside world, but we can work things around with a portal between one place and the other. It is manageable and bearable.She was elated when I told her about my idea of having her as part of the undercover operation. She looks like an intern, and interns do meaningless jobs like handling archives and files from one department to another. The per

ZaneMatei was right, we couldn´t risk Roger, and we need to coordinate this. But, also, Asteria was right, we didn´t have the luxury of time. My life was on the line, and we couldn´t afford more delays.I had made peace with he fact that I may not be able to make it, I have done it in the past, but recently, I have been overthinking about our future. I want a life with her, with my mate, have hybrid pups, and rule the vampire kingdom into a new era. I know Asteria will bring joy and life to our people, just the way she has infused joy and life into me."Matty, you don´t understand! We need to move fast. Zane´s life is on the line," Asteria pressed, and Matei nodded."I understand, Baby Sister, but we can´t risk an international conflict and put Roger at risk. He is having a hard time as it is." Mat said, and I took a deep breath."Asteria, I think we can take a day off..." I stood up and she looked at me, tears

ZaneWe ended our date with a bang - literally. As soon as we crossed the threshold of the apartment we were using in Central City, we were ripping our clothes off each other. Our night extended into frantic lovemaking until sunrise.The following morning, we decided to rest until it was time to get ready to go to dinner at her brother´s home. Asteria decided to wear a pair of dark navy jeans with a cute bright red top. While I went with my usual mood, navy jeans, black button-down. I never wore color. I either went for black, grays, or whites... I was not festive like my mate."Ready?" she said, and I nodded.I laced my fingers with hers because I can´t get enough of her, and we walked out of the apartment. She called a taxi, and soon we were heading towards her brother´s home.The place was located on the outskirts of the city. It was a quiet gated area with a lot of security. It was expected, he was the king of the city; his ru

ZaneCadmus shifted into his dragon and flew high in the sky. I could hear his voice on the earpiece, and I was mesmerized by the advanced technology they were using. The device had a translator from dragon thoughts to human voice that I guess was useful when you were dealing with a team who is partially shifted. "The place looks clean, with very little movement. Three entrances. One that leads to a basement." Cadmus reported."There is a security perimeter.... it is not evident, a rookie wouldn´t have noticed, but I can spot cameras, and sensors about 300 meters down the forest." He said, and I looked at Stephan."I told you the idiot is the best in what he does," he chuckled, and I nodded. I knew that Matei would go all in, and I assumed his friends were trusted people, capable, but he sent the best, and that the best happened to be his friends was something out of luck, I guess."Angelo, you're up," Cadmus said, and I looked at the man, who looked more human than supernatural. I kn
