Two Years Ago Tallahassee, Florida “Colin, are you sure you don't want to handle this case?” Yuri said as he swirled the red wine in his hand. He had been asked by the Vampire Council to investigate a human who had been digging too deep into vampire affairs. Normally the council only sent Yuri on a case like this when they expected the human to disappear. Yuri however had grown bored with living under the rule of this council. The Vampire Council was made up of seven vampires and rotated every fifty years. This particular group was a bunch of bloodthirsty assholes in his opinion. Yuri was over 2700 years old and tried to remain in the shadows. But with age came powers the younger creations had no access to. About 1500 years ago magic diverted from the vampires leaving them mainly with strength and speed. There were still a rare few who developed powers of the mind. Colin, Yuri, and the twins Marco and Micha Provinsky were among the seven elder vampires who could alter a hu
Tallahassee, FloridaSouth Station Vampire CovenPresent DayAmber woke up, slowly. Her head ached. For a few seconds, she thought a tiny dance team was in her skull tap dancing. Amber's right hand moved along the bed feeling the silk sheets. It was at that moment her eyes opened and she sat up rigidly, the sheet dropping to her waist. She did not recognize the room. Inching her body to the edge of the massive bed, Amber's eyes darted around the room looking for any signs of company. The tips of her toes touched the thick carpet when an unfamiliar voice started her.“I see you are finally awake,” Kimiko said as she silently approached the bed. The young Asian woman offered Amber a smile. “I shall inform Master Yuri. I will also draw a bath, I am sure after your long trip you would like to freshen up.”Amber was puzzled. Long trip? Did she have a long trip? “Excuse me,” Amber said. “Who are you and where am I?” Amber pulled the sheet closer to her chest as though it was
~~~*Authors Note*Timeline clarification:When Yuri got the original file it was two years ago. When he kidnapped her is the present day, give or take a month or two to Jerry’s trial. I hope this chapter will clear up the lapse in his investigation.~~~Yuri was sitting in his office on a video call with Colin. He reached out and brought a cup of coffee to his lips as Galvin left the room where Colin was sitting. “How is he doing?”“Better. I moved him to Tifton, Georgia for the time being. He said Aria had called to him and some him. Of course, he didn't tell me this until after meeting her.” Colin waved his hand dismissing Yuri’s next question. “But this is not why I called. I have a report on my desk from the council. Two years ago you were assigned to deal with a human female regarding her inquiries. I see that you found nothing that crossed our purview. So why did the council send you after her again?”Yuri took a deep breath. “It is not a simple story. When I fir
Amber’s brows tightened as she tried standing again. This time the room didn't tilt to the side. Her eyes narrowed on the manacle and chain and then at Yuri. “Is this how you treat your wife? First, you hit me, then kidnapped me, molest me, and now you chain me to your bed?” Amber crossed her arms and forced herself to remain calm. Deep down, she was terrified of what happened. But she was smart enough to know she would live longer with honey.Yuri remained on the bed. He dissected what she said. When did he molest her? His finger came up as he spoke. “When did I molest you?”“You kissed me!” Amber snapped before regaining her composure yet again.“Oh, in that case,” Yuri stood beside her. “Yes, I did hit you, but in my defense, I needed to get you out of the lab fast and without complications. Can we really call this a kidnapping? I did not molest you. In fact, you enjoyed the kiss and returned it, which proves my point about you being my wife, though you can't rememb
Colin Andrews CompoundSmith Lake Arley, AlabamaAs promised, Colin was on a private plane an hour later leaving Albany, Georgia, and landing in Jasper, Alabama. Colin and Aria had exited the plane with Cullen, Aaron, and several of the pack warriors. Alpha Chase Parker of the Eufaula Pack was waiting with Yuri in the private hangar. Colin had commanded Yuri to remain calm after he lost his temper and tried to hit Cullen. After the dust settled four large Ford Expeditions drove the thirty minutes to a compound Colin early used.“Aria, my love,” Colin said as he kissed her palm. “I need you to remain close to me while we prepare. There will be at least a dozen vampires and twice as many werewolves filling the compound before the night is over.”Aria had only met Cullen earlier that morning and was just coming to accept the supernatural world. Although she knew about the others, she was still nervous given Amber’s kidnapping and Hope Howard's involvement in Mangadoom. “I won't le
Colin Andrews CompoundSmith Lake Arley, AlabamaRescue TeamMicah's hand ran over her chest, bringing a silent moan to her lips as his rough calloused fingers met the taunt flesh of her nipples. He can feel her body shiver and bite her lips as his fingers squeeze and twist them. She moans again and her hips buck. His hot breath first reached the back of her neck, followed by his lips. Micah does this each time they meet. He toys with her, getting pleasure from his one-sided assault. She reached up in an attempt to move his hands down her body and groaned when he bit her neck and suckled slowly bringing a wave of ecstasy to her."Not yet," Micah whispered, allowing vibrations from his voice to raise her body temperature higher as she felt his body press against her back. His soft lips place kisses down the beginning of her spine."When?" She begged.“Micah! Wake up brother,” Marco called to his brother as the plane began its descent. Slowly Micah woke from his reoccurring drea
Mangadoom Holding FacilityKettering Ohio“Wakie, wakie,” Salem said as he walked into the holding cell. The cell was six foot by ten and made of iron and silver. There was a lone one-bulb light hanging from a short exposed wire from the ceiling. On the floor next to a one-inch thick dirty mattress was a plastic bucket holding waste. Amber was lying on her side, her face was swollen and dried blood covered her cheeks stained with tear trails where fat tears had fallen.“Go. Fuck. Yourself.” Amber groaned. Her voice was hoarse and cracked from screaming hours earlier. Salem hummed as he squatted next to her pale body. “Go fuck myself huh? Well, if you were human I might take you up on that offer. But I don't fuck creatures.” He fisted her tangled red hair, lifting her from the mattress and half-drug her to the wall when the shackles were hanging.“Has anyone ever told you that you curse more than a sailor on shore leave?” Salem said as he attached a silver collar around he
Mangadoom Holding FacilityKettering Ohio3000 Research Blvd, Kettering, OH. Mangadoom Pharmaceuticals had a research facility located there. The two-story compound looked like any other building in the suburb of Dayton. A half a mile from the compound in a smaller parking lot five black Ford Expeditions pulled in. A roller door opened and the vehicles drove into a warehouse, and the door quickly shut.Inside thirty men and women exited and regrouped into five teams. Colin, Cullen, Yuri, Aaron, and the twins each went over last-minute changes with their teams. The plan was to attack in stages at various locations. Colin and his team, comprised mostly of vampires, were to enter through the roof's helipad and clear the security center. Cullen was to lead a small team of Weres and Druids through the underground parking garage and secure the exit doors that lead to the sub-basement and holding area. Aaron was to lead a team of Weres and vampires through the west side and secure t
