Starbright Sapphire and Startled

Jason’s POV Just as I said that, a hulking giant of a male came out with Lucy; both of them hand in hand and darting their eyes down both roads. “Jason!” Lucy beamed as she came forward and gave me a tight hug, the worry that had been gnawing at me since she was taken now easing some. “Hey, cous. Sorry I’m late.” I said gruffly. The male growled slightly under his breath at the contact and Lucy rolled her eyes at him as he mumbled an apology. I noted the garish mate mark on his neck, the wound red and raised looking like someone had used him as a chew toy. I raised an eyebrow at Lucy in question but she ducked her head down in embarrassment. “Jason, this is Adam. Adam, my Beta and cousin Jason.” “Hello.” He reached out a hand to shake mine, my wolf raising his hackles at the contact warning me of a danger this male posed. “Lucy said she wanted to speak to you privately before we depart; so I’ll wait out here with Justin.” I nodded my head in understanding as I

Starbright Sapphire and Startled Part 2

Lucy’s POV“My Goddess…” Jason finally agreed with me. “You’re shitting with me, right?”“No. Adam’s a Lycan, but he has no memory of his family.” The room felt heavy with revelation, Adam’s story about his mom, the ring, and everything else making my head spin. Oh.. wait! “We need to go back to where your sister’s found me! Adam has a ring from his mom and if it has some connection to the Royal Family, it is proof!” I stood up abruptly.“We can’t. That area might be swarming with wolves, police, or worse.” Jason shook his head vehemently.“We need to at least drive by and try. By the time your sisters showed up, they said the fire was basically over-plus the area around there’s practically a ghost town. Adam specifically bought the ground there as a safe house.”“I don’t like this.” Jason crossed his arms. “This is spelling trouble.”“Anything we do is trouble enough; especially with the Shepard’s involved. If I know my brother, the thought of sitting on a throne for even a second is

Red Sard and Remember

Lucy’s POV“I-I thought so.” I wasn’t sure; Adam had seemed healthy and glowing after everything, and for a werewolf to feint was unheard of. “What should we do?” I said in a small voice.“Let him rest; maybe this was a shock to his system. If he’s not better by tonight, I’ll call that doctor again.” Jason hopped back into the driver’s seat as Justin helped me adjust Adam’s head to rest on my lap, then taking his position as well.I was worried, but the steady thrum of Adam’s heartbeat reassured me that maybe Jason was right, maybe he just needed the rest. “Rest, my love.” I whispered next to his ear and gave the side of his head a kiss. “Get better and rest; but don’t leave me for too long.” We now needed that ring, and I wasn’t going to let Jason tell me no.*****Adam’s POV“Don’t leave me, Jasper Adam Highmoon!” My mother called out to me, taking my hand and pulling me up with her. “We’re going to be late as it is!”“But momsie, look!” I held up the jasper stones to her, the speck

Marble and Memories

Lucy’s POV“We’re here.” Jason helped unload the vehicle and sighed. “I’m gonna go ditch this car. As soon as I get back, we’re going- ring or not.” I nodded as he shook his head in exasperation then drove off leaving Justin, Adam, and me at the ruins of the house.Justin whistled at the sight, small plumes of smoke still streaming here and there among the burned timber and stones. “Looks like things got a little heated here.” He let out a dry laugh, making me roll my eyes.“Come on. His ring was in his bag- and that was either in the kitchen or near the bedroom.” Adam was still out cold with his head resting against a bag, his breathing even but still a worrisome sight to me. There were a few burnt corpses lingering here and there, as well as the ones outside that left a foul sweet rotting smell in the air. Justin and I tried not to breathe through our sensitive noses and opted for breathing through our mouths.“Goddess.. even the wind tastes awful.” He complained.“Just help me look

Marble and Memories Part 2

Lucy’s POV“Here. Put him right on my table.” The old vet gave Adam and my cousins a curious look as we came through the doors of his clinic, all the lights out except for ones coming from the back halls and his operating room. “Maybe I missed some silver or something. He was rightfully banged up at the rental I met you at.”“You must be Doctor Wilston; I’m Jason, the one who first contacted you.” Jason held out a hand to shake the Doctor’s hand.“Charmed. I don’t get very many calls from the local packs now days. Used to I’d get at least five calls a day, but those twenty plus years ago all the calls stopped all together. I was starting to think all you wolves thought I was dead.” He chuckled as he rolled a heavy looking machine over.“Well.. your number in the council directory was basically scratched out. I had to take a gamble that it meant you weren’t affiliated with them anymore.” He sighed.“Nope! Never liked tha fuckers anyways.” He readjusted the machine and then motioned us

Marble and Memories Part 3

Adam’s POV “Da?” I called out, my feet stopping as my heart began to hammer away in my chest. “Oho! We didn’t k ow you had son! You’ve only been paying for the protection of one wolf, not two. Naught, naughty.” I could smell the one male from here; a Beta and his ego basically let off a stink all on its own. “I just got paid last week, and I’ll have all the money for you; I swear!” Da spoke through his swollen mouth. “Well, now the amount has doubled. Two wolves- twice the protection.” He grinned. The male nodded at another who had black curly hair causing that male to swing and hit my pa in the stomach, making him gag and throw up. “You have until the end of the week or we’ll burn down your house and get rid of the boy. Do you understand, Rogue?” He spat. “I-I understand.” My Da wheezed out. The Beta turned and walked out, the other four males following him after the black haired on kicked my dad to his stomach. As soon as they were out the door I ran up to my da and helpe

Orthoclase and Operation

Adam’s POVI had stopped at a convenience store and bought a can of spray on deodorant, pipe cleaners, tape, and a small instant camera; planning on masking my scent with the foul smelling mist that humans loved. The camera and other supplies was a last minute idea I got from watching a movie with my Da. I stuck to side streets and lesser used allies, avoiding busy roads and shopping areas so less cameras would pick me up.After a few hours, I was deep into Parley Pack territory. Their shopping district was right ahead and I knew my target was in the next few blocks. I had used my phone to look up the owners and to study the pictures of their store, getting a good layout of their store room. Apparently they were pack Betas, their position in power giving them a more lucrative opportunity in their pack.I just saw it as justice from the other Beta who had my father beaten and threatened us. A few hundred grand in merchandise would mean nothing to them and the pack, but it would mean ev

Diopside and Detection

Lucy’s POV “Come stand back here.” Doctor Wilston called us over as he took another X-ray, all of us standing back quickly as the machine hummed and clicked, the old man scurrying off quickly. “I’ll be back, you can go back to your spots.. and keep the incisions open!” He called to Jason and Justin. It had been three hours already, and Thai was the first time he had demoed it necessary for the x-ray. The careful cuts had to be held apart at particular angles in Adam’s brain to slow down his healing, making us all sweat in anticipation. When the doctor came back and held up the photo, he cussed. “Looks like it’s more work boys. The bullet split in half.” We all nodded grimly as he came back over and began cutting again, the tension in the room becoming more thick with each passing second. ***** Adam’s POV Four. Five, six. I had the stethoscope against the vault and listened to the inner pins turn, the third of who knew how many numbers on the sequence now only a few clicks

Diopside and Detection Part 2

Lucy’s POV “There!” The Doctor wiped his brow and stepped back, all of us letting out a collective sigh. “We‘ll let his body do the rest from here. It may take him a few hours or so to regain consciousness; but damned if we didn’t do it perfectly.” The hole at the side of Adam’s head had been stitched closed and everything was now being cleaned up. The Doctor’s mate had even come in at one point and brought us all tea, mine still sitting untouched next to me. “You should sit down and rest, Lucy. We’re gonna hit the road again as soon as he’s awake.” Jason patted my shoulder. “No. I’ll wait.” I didn’t want to leave him, especially after seeing him in this state. “You and Justin go get some rest, I’ll be fine.” He gave me a tight nod as they all three left me, the soft lights above my head letting out a feint hum. “Adam. Wake up. I’m here for you. I love you.” I whispered as I learned against his chest. I could hear his heartbeat as I closed my eyes and counted each one. *****

Diopside and Detection Part 3

Adam’s POV “Da? Da!” I screamed as I got to she building, the smoke rolling out from a window on the side of the house. “Look wha the cat drug in, males!” The Beta from the beginning of the week was standing in front of my home while it burned, my Da nowhere in sight. “I think it’s time ya joined the old mutt!” The two males came forward to grab me from behind him but I dodged and ran inside the house, hearing them cackle outside. “Go and die ya filthy Rogue!” He called out to me as I busted in the front door. The heat was intense as the smoke billowed around me, the paint on the walls bubbling as I made my way through the house. I knew the flames were from my Da’s office, the intensity of the blaze not even allowing me down the hall. I heard a feint cough from the kitchen though and made my way there, my head spinning as I tried to keep low and inhale less fumes. “Da!” He was tied to the kitchen chair, beaten with what looked like silver, and his eyes glassed over. I went fo
