I was gripping my little brother Matthew Duncan's hand—warm and soft—terrified that if I let go for even a second, the tide of people would swallow him up. But in the blink of an eye, a puppet-maker's stall caught his eye. He pointed at a fierce general figurine, bouncing with excitement. "Eli! I want that one! The general!"

Ash bows his head graciously, “Asher Wild, Prince to the Vampire King of England. But please, call me Ash. Everyone does, it feels weird to have people say my full name now.” The king bows his head, “Her loss, if only temporary, is felt keenly here.” Luther says, and Ash nods,

** The Shifting Alliances** The night sky in Cairo hung heavy with the weight of secrets, danger, and a rapidly shifting tide of alliances. Ayesha sprinted through the labyrinth of the museum's underground tunnels, her heart still pounding from the encounter with her father. Azim Shah had claimed he had only wanted to protect her. That he had faked his death to keep her out of Kade’s reach. But the bitter truth of it all, the devastating revelation that the very man she had believed to be a hero was the creator of the very machine that had nearly destroyed her world, twisted her inside.

“When you face your enemy, it will seek to use your love against you. But it has never known love, and that is its greatest weakness; something that does not know what love is, can never know how powerful it can be. In your darkest moment, remember your love for one another. It will guide you to the light.” ----- It was a sea of banners and horses and soldiers that moved out from the little camp at the base of the hill, striking out into the rising sun toward the Land of the Dead. At its front, rode Astasha and Calder, a new banner soaring in the wind above them. Tasha had marveled at the quick, yet elegant embroidery work when Cal had presented it to her; a final gift before their departure

I step outside into complete darkness when it should be full daylight. The last time I saw this was the day my parent's and baby brother died. Ashrac is lying on the ground with Tahr beside him on his knees. Tahr isn't looking at Ashrac, his head is tipped up to the sky. "Take me," he yells. "I will serve you as a slave for all eternity if you take me instead of him."

Her toes left smears of blood in the dirt. The fortress room reeked of power and pine resin. Asher Voss stood silhouetted against the floor-to-ceiling windows, his broad shoulders rigid, his hands clasped behind his back like a general’s. Moonlight carved hollows into his face, making him look older than his 28 years. Lila’s knees buckled as the warriors shoved her forward, but she refused to collapse. Not in front of him. Never in front of him. “Explain this,” she spat, rattling the silver cuffs they’d clamped on her wrists. The metal seared her skin, the pain sharpening her voice.

"I, LUNA OF THE BLOOD MOON PACK, CHALLENGE YOU TO FIGHT ME." Ashar went to Alice and told her to leave Livia. "You can not fight with her. Try to understand me, Alice. Come on, let's go from here." Livia saw how nervous Ashar was. She smirked and said, "Sure Luna. I accept your challenge." Alice let go of her neck and looked at Ashar. "Don't come to stop me. Don't you remember? Only your Alpha can stop the fight."

Kai, Anaki, Dove, Loki, Caius, and Malystryxx were the only ones in attendance of this service. Moon, Kurgi, Shyfter, and the Royals were on the run, leaving a few hours before anyone knew they were gone, carrying with them the elixir that Anatashi gave her life and spirit to save Aisha and her cubs from the Rogue’s 'Death Before Birth' Curse. If caught in time, all three would be saved, but Aisha has a price to pay for this, a 'Higher Calling' would come one day for her to step up and a certain her destiny.

Most people had already forgotten what she looked like. If Sheila appeared as Yara, no one would have reason to suspect her. Once everything was arranged, the two of them booked flights to Aster City together. On the plane, Cassius looked at Sheila's face. After the subtle changes she had made to her appearance, she looked different enough that few people would recognize her. He let out a quiet sigh. "Sheila..." He smiled faintly. "No. I guess I should start calling you Yara. "You've sacrificed so much just to get revenge. Do you think you'll ever regret it?"

Archer was excited to accept the lunch invitation. "Don't seduce her..." Ashton said domineeringly in a teasing way. The other person just laughed. *** In less than an hour, the black Rolls-Royce Ghost car arrived in front of the villa. "It's late. We'll have lunch right away, okay?" Ashton said to Ashley as they got off the car. The woman just nodded in response. As they stepped into the villa, a man wearing a bright blue t-shirt and black pants greeted Ashton immediately. It was Archer and they both had a quick friendly hug.
