Night Lord Omnibus Novels & Stories

The smell is usually comforting, but right now it’s making me feel sick. Tabatha sets a white candle on either side of the nightstand and ignites them with magic. She moves to the foot of the bed and holds out a quartz crystal wand. “Powers of North, South, East and West, I call on you with this request. Remove the evil in the space, and leave good fortune in its place.” As she speaks, a sharp pain starts in my wrist. When she holds up the crystal, my arm starts to tingle.

While travelling, their noise is not so loud that it will irritate you, but I missed this, I didn't know they would get along. Gavin was next to me, silent and staring at the window, even though I was at the far end and he was in the middle. He was still looking outside while Nathan had already fallen asleep next to him so we were the only ones in the quietest row. After a few hours of travel, we arrived and my eyes wandered around. An alley is full of houses. Is this a subdivision? "Wait, are you sure about this?" I asked Adrison who was looking at his laptop. We all stared at it while watching a dot that seemed to move.

She should’ve traded with Zane and sat where she had a worse view, in the middle. The vehicles had come from some wealthy donors who were interested in seeing LIGHTS put a complete end to the Vampires. Like cockroaches who had hidden away until after the blasting was over, they were crawling out from beneath rocks and out of holes, ready to flex their muscles since the most dangerous part of the Revelation appeared to be over.

I want you…I bit my lip, the taste of sin and lust driving me insane. The isolation gnawed at me, so I slipped away to the balcony for fresh air. The night sky stretched above me, jeweled with stars but no moon. The breeze kissed my skin, and I closed my eyes, soaking in the peace until it shattered at the touch of a rough hand on my bare back. “What the hell!” I spun, panic flaring, only to see a pot-bellied man with a greasy smile. Recognition hit me like bile. Caleb. Beatrice’s nerdy brother from high school, now aged and foul.

There was no way to hide, it was too late, but then like an umbrella, a large, khaki coat covered my body a second before I transformed, and the person wrapped the coat around me, hugging me. Who is that anyway?, It felt warm, kind of safe too, then I passed out, it went blank again. //////////////////////////////////////////// "Oh!, I remember now, but why are you so excited?", I asked and they both laughed again which was quite suspicious, "read it!", Madam Pika ordered and Bubby brought out a piece of brown paper.

The Night Calling I remember the first time I heard whispers about the night calling. It was a phrase that moved through the boys in The Boss’s shop like smoke—everyone knew it existed, everyone respected it, but no one dared explain what it meant. I was still new then, still washing soap suds off Mercedes wheels with hands that trembled from the memory of blood. Sandra Danso’s face hadn’t left me, not for a second, and the weight of her death clung to me like a shadow I could never shake.

"She doesn't know about our world. It's better this way." "She's so perfect. So fragile." His voice broke with agony. "If she finds out what kind of monster I really am, she'll be terrified." My heart almost stopped. Ryder... wasn't human? "Bullshit," one of his buddies jeered. "If you’re so tough, then stop whining on that encrypted forum every night. 'Midnight_Howler'... real creative." Midnight_Howler. I memorized the ID. I slipped back to my room and opened my laptop. I found the hidden forum called "The Den". With a few tricks, I registered and got in.

Lauren wondered how long David had been at it. Mom must have been outside with Officer Hendricks for a long time. She would flip if she saw these. Lauren scooted around David on the floor so that she was at the beginning of the scroll. David had started from the cut end of the paper and was rolling out more as he progressed. The very first picture was a tree—the ghost tree, Lauren realized. It couldn’t be any other tree because it was the only one in the woods with the split from the lightning bolt. David had never been in the woods, though. He’d never seen the tree.

I didn't answer, busy covering my body with a white blanket. I was silent; my body felt weak instantly. No words came out of my mouth because my tongue felt so numb looking at Adam, who was topless in front of me. I scratched my head, which was not itchy; my hair was getting messy. I felt frustrated and couldn't think clearly about anything. "What the hell is going on? I don't know either."

She giggled at the end. “I got into your head so I could fully see your dreams and explain them better to you. You have been having these awful nightmares because you are yet to accept who you are. You have chosen to hurt yourself believing that your father's death was caused by you. That is NOT true. You are blessed with a gift directly given to you by the Moon goddess. It is a gift that will enable you to control the forces of nature, a blessing so volatile that it could be a deadly curse. Take the scepter, it is yours!!”. The last words rang repeatedly in my head, echoing till I blacked out.
