Lahat ng Kabanata ng Roll The Dice: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Hours after I was dismissed for the night, I paced around my apartment, wondering if I should risk going back to Vegas that night or not. Goddess knew I wanted to. Desperately, if I was honest. I needed her to know what was going on in her territory. I should have said something when she showed up, but I had been too stuck in my feelings and lust to be able to focus on anything but my selfish desire. I had gotten my brother to agree to watch over Andresky at the hospital that night while he recovered. I couldn’t stay. The first time he had threatened Tawnie's life, I had almost shifted right then and there. Talon wanted to rip his throat out, but I hadn’t allowed him too.We needed to figure out if he was doing anything else in Tawnie’s territory before we killed him. The only good thing about Andresky being in the hospital was that I could go snooping in his office without being caught. I knew no one would be there. I had made sure of it. I had strategically placed all of Andresky’s

AlekWhen I got back to Andresky’s territory, I reached out to my brother.‘Galen, is everyone still at the hospital?’ I linked him.‘Yes. Is everything okay? Is there an intruder?’ he asked, his voice confident and eager for a fight.I rolled my eyes. ‘No. I’m going to Andresky’s office. I want to know what else he’s up to. I want to see where he put the other girls. They shouldn’t be left in that situation.’‘I know. Let me know what you find.’‘I will. Let me know if someone leaves,’ I requested.‘I will.’I cut the link before slinking my way through the shadows, taking special care to avoid the cameras I had helped set up. By the time I made it to his office, I was ready to do what I had to do to protect these kids. I locked the door behind myself before moving over to Andresky’s desk to search through his files. Every document I found that had anything to do with Tawnie’s territory, I made copies of before putting the papers back in their place. When I made sure that there was n

7 hours later, I pulled into a McDonald’s parking lot, groaning as I rolled my shoulders back. It wasn’t that I was sore. None of those motherfuckers had been skilled enough to sense me coming, let alone land a blow on me. After putting the van in park, I got up to check on the still terrified girls, most of whom were sleeping with their heads on their neighbor’s shoulder. I smiled softly as I ran my eyes over them again, looking for any injuries that I might have missed. When I was sure that none of them had any life-threatening injuries, I knelt in front of the first girl who had chosen to trust me a little.“Sweetheart, can you do me a favor?” I murmured.She gave me a shy nod. “I’ll try.”I put my hand gently on her arm. “Can you make sure everyone stays in the van? I’m going to get you girls some food and drinks. I can hear some of your stomachs growling. I don’t make you girls wait any longer than you have to.”She gave me another nod. “Yes.”“Thank you. I’ll be back.”I hurried

I paced back and forth in my living room in front of my open door while I waited to see what Tawnie's decision would be. It was too late in the night for me to go to her. Even in Talon’s body, it would take me a little over an hour and a half to get to her. That plus the run back would have only given us an hour or two to be together. Not only that, but I wanted to test her. I wanted to know if she was serious, so I asked her to come to my place. She was fast enough to make the round trip in 1 hour and not the three it would take me. She was also fast enough to avoid being picked up by the cameras, which was another necessary thing if we were going to make this work. When I spun on my heels to pace back to my window, a body jumped on my back. I reached over my shoulder to grab whoever it was, and they twisted their body as we fell forward so that they landed on top of me. Tawnie leaned down to kiss me softly. “Gotcha!”I chuckled as I wrapped my hand around her throat to hold her in

HiddenI stood outside my rival’s apartment with another’s scent wrapped around like a baby swaddled in their blue or pink blanket. Unseen. Undetected. Just like I had spent the last two decades. Hiding in plain sight. I had purposely planted a man inside of Andresky’s organization specifically for this reason. I wanted to be able to slip in and out of his territory without detection. Ever since I had unlocked my bloodline’s legendary powers, I had honed them into abilities that made me unbeatable. Not even the infamous Tawnie could hold a candle to me.Not only did I have superspeed, but I had the power of invisibility. My favorite new ability was being able to mask my scent just by thinking about the one I wanted to use. That one was the most useful. I was able to toy with Tawnie in a way that I had never thought possible. The glee I felt when I was able to stand across the casino floor from her, and see the blood drain from her face, while her nostrils flared as she tried to catch
