Lester Averman Novels & Stories

"They keep kicking her and hitting her. Hera is so scared." "Who has her, Amber?" He gently wiped her tears away. "Who is the mean woman?" "Aurora." Amber held her hand out as if trying to shield Hera from pain, crying out, "No!" Nolan gestured to Gelo to prepare the men. It took about half an hour, but Nolan managed to get some information from Amber. He calmed her enough to leave her with Megan and Cian while he organized the men. "Why does Lancaster follow her orders? He’s not a Augur," Nolan asked his son.

Erica and I swiped our key cards and retrieved visitor passes from the reception desk for my brother and the other wolf. "My name is Alec," he introduced, "I am the one meant to be watching Jason today." Alec was tall with a broad, muscular build. His t-shirt clung to his biceps but was loose around the torso and his jeans were snug around the thighs. You didn't have to look twice to figure out that this guy worked out—going to the gym seemed like it should be his entire personality. He was fairly handsome, too, he was missing a head of hair but that gave him a rugged edge.

VAMPIRE CLAN HIDEOUT LUCAS In a large long room, a man is standing behind the window, both hands slipped into the pockets of the black pants he wore. He is 6’2 tall, chiseled hard face. His name is Lucas, the leader of the vampire clan. A century old but still very handsome. A lady vampire leapt up behind him, almost in a sneaky manner. Her fangs shot out and her eyes changed colors but as she made to lean in towards Lucas, he dodged to his right, swiftly turned and caught her by her neck.

VICTORIA I kept staring a second longer until a folder was placed on my lap. “Read through the agreements so you know if everything’s okay,” Mr. Dante whispered, and I snapped out of it, realizing the meeting had already started. From our side, in the dark, I watched the signs on the screen while the interpreter relayed them to Lorenzo. He said he apologized for not attending. “I wasn’t expecting you. I was expecting your father. Patriarch Dmitri Brona is the one I’ve always made deals with,” Lorenzo shot back without a shred of respect.

I’ll never get used to this thing. Amelia joins us outside and we get in the robotic vehicle, freaks me out—I’ll never trust a car that drives itself; I laugh to myself. “What’s so funny?” Jade asks. “This car, I wonder if I can trade it in.” “Why would you do that!?” Jade repulsed by my question. “I just want something simpler...” “I think it’s cool, but it is a little scary, isn’t it?” “You both realize that we’re immortal right?”

Ever since he dropped out of high school at the age of 15, he had never worked a single job. With wide eyes, Vera stared blankly at her husband and son who stood before her. Although she moved her lips, she remained speechless as she didn't know what to say. Indeed, her intention in teaching Lester those things was to flatter him. In Vera's eyes, Lester was her cash cow. Whenever she took good care of him previously, she would occasionally receive some bonuses from Serena. Leo's appearance had threatened Lester's position, and she had been anxious for many days before she decided to act recklessly.

A fear of outcome and anger, a rage, everything that just spiraled about. The estate came into view. Moonstone Manor, they called it. Always polished. Always perfect. It was the way that I wanted it to be, strong, calculated and formed away from the disorder that was outside the world. It was always full of wolves who followed orders but rarely smiled. We had our duties and our missions. We were not here to mingle around. We were here for a reason and that was to survive, to stand and to maintain ourselves anyone outside did not matter. An outsider did not matter.

Russell I'd be kidding if I said I wasn't nervous. Meeting Sam's dad was affable indeed. He's so much like her, easy to talk to and so passionate about his work. I see why Sam is so enamored with her studies and why she is eager to get her master's in business. She gets that attitude from that man. I just met him and I already have great admiration for him. Mr. Adam's sent a black luxury SUV to pick us up. I wasn't used to all this fancy shit, but I remained genteel.

“I’m here with you. Trust me, the best detective I know is in there waiting for you. Amelia will look after you.” “How do you know her?” “I have worked a few cases alongside her before. Leah, I'm a lawyer.” My eyes flashed up to him, wide. What were the chances that the one person I would come across in this situation would be a lawyer? The look in his eyes made me feel safe. Part of me couldn't help but wonder if that was why I found him safe and grounding. I nodded my head, and he pulled away and stood back away from the car. Unbuckling my belt, taking a deep breath, and stepping out into the cool night air shook my nerves a little. Step by step, one foot in front of the other, I followed

"You don't get it. Lester is the CEO of Hanson Group. Of course, he's busy. As for Jerome, he's just a shareholder." As she raised her hand, I caught a glimpse of a purplish scar under her sleeve. Lester was a master of appearances. In my past life, his legs had been crippled, and his personality was unpredictable and cruel. Every night, he'd beat me with whatever he could grab. I'd endured it for a long time. After his legs started healing, he finally let me off. Now, seeing how happy Abbie was, I didn't bother to expose her. I just walked past her and headed to the bathroom.
