We've never dealt with them. They're real estate, hotels… we're gaming. What's the angle?"

Talia's POV. “Talia Hermen,” the principal pinched the bridge of her nose in exasperation. She heaved a sigh and darted her eyes at me. “Explain yourself.” she said in a commanding tone. Steve gaped at me, his eyes reflecting a pure hatred I never knew he had for me. Somehow, I could see a piece of Zeke in him. They had the same eyes. The same dark spirit. I blinked at principal Riles and swallowed nervously. “Excuse me, why am I here? I hope there isn't any problem.” I said softly.

He placed it on the side table and stood behind me, his hands resting on my shoulders. "The Librarian has been processed," he said softly. "His real name was Alistair Thorne. He was the silent partner in nearly every major criminal enterprise for the last forty years. Sarah is currently turning his private servers inside out. The information she’s finding... it’s going to change everything, Eve." "I don't care about changing the world anymore, Lucian," I said, leaning my head back against him.

"Babe I'd like you to meet Mr. Denver Hudson my mentor and business partner, Mr. Hudson like she said, this is Giordana Forbes, my beautiful wife."

His hair was araven black, slicked back from a sharp, angular face. But it was his eyes that held me captive – a piercing, unsettling shade of emerald green, so unlike the warm, sky-blue of Earnest’s. They were cold, calculating, and unnervingly familiar. A shiver, not of cold but of a primal unease, traced its way down my spine.

Theria giggled and trotted off to say high to the crew. As they entered the training area a man wearing a stag skull helmet greeted him. He smelled like pine and the forest, and he looked like a huntsman from the middle ages. Slung across his back a Dragonuv sniper rifle and modern compound bow complete with arrows. “So the whelp finally arrives. The name is Herne the Hunter.” “Warren Vandal, a descendant of Troy,” He held out his hand and hoped the sniper would take it. A smile appeared through the thick beard, “The queen didn't tell us who you were. She just said you would be joining the team,” His voice remained friendly and even. “How is the eidolon?”

Alpha Damien, the great and prestigious Alpha of the red moon pack and one of the strongest, leading billionaires and businessmen of all time, stood right at the door of the kitchen, from which Courtney had just left.

But, instead of it taking her, it toiled with her.

Although Stephen was surprised to discover that a man as young as Herald was already planning his future nuptials, it fell into character with the young man he was discovering lived within this mature, fourteen-year-old body. The unfortunate freezing of Herald’s estate funds would place a hardship on the young man financially until things were cleared up, especially since he had no desire to inform his uncle of his whereabouts or activities. He was certain that the earl would protest to such a degree that Stephen would be forced to oblige and forbid him to make the trip. Sensing Herald’s concerns, Stephen bid him not to worry.

She paused to sigh heavily, and I could feel her pain. I could tell that she had adored her stepfather. I was happy that even though she hadn’t had Jon in her life to love her, she had someone who loved her and showed her how a man was supposed to treat her. I reached across the table to take her hand, squeezing it a little. “I’m really sorry for your loss, Angel,” I told her softly.

"For the fifth time I'm saying this again, it wasn't fucking fine, I'm tired of going out on arranged dates with spoiled heiresses," Stephen said in a fit.
