Blood Bond Blood Bound Series book 5 Amy Blankenship, RK Melton Copyright © 2012 Amy Blankenship Second Edition Published by TekTime All rights reserved. Chapter 1 The city of Los Angeles spread out around him in a kaleidoscope of flashing lights and colors. The distant sounds of urban life rang in his ears but Syn paid it no mind, listening instead to the whisper of the soft breeze moving over him. He stood, balanced on the highest peak of one of the tallest buildings in the city, the pinnacle of it being the only thing his feet touched. Syn had his hands buried in the pockets of his pants while his trench coat whipped behind him like a long cape that seemed to disappear and reappear at random as though it were a living thing. His long dark hair had blown back from his face revealing an ageless beauty the likes of which was rarely seen in this world. He had taken the precaution of shielding his aura from all

Chapter 2 Tabatha stepped through the entrance of Silk Stalkings and looked around. She’d come here looking for Kriss… and prayed she would find him. He’d gone missing a few days ago and hadn’t even called… and he’d been avoiding her longer than that. She missed him and was starting to worry. If he was gone for any length of time in the past, he’d at least called and let her know everything was all right. Just catching a glimpse of him would take away her fear that Misery had eaten him or locked him in a cave somewhere. Sitting down at one of the tall tables, she continued to watch the stage hoping Kriss would come out and perform his act. It was almost an hour later that she realized the time and knew Kriss should have hit the stage by now. One of the waiters walked by her and she touched him on the arm to gain his attention. “Do you need something, Miss?” he asked. Tabatha smiled, “I’m hoping you can help me. I’m looking for Kriss Reed. Can you tell me when his ne

Chapter 3 During his teenage years, Ren had made it a habit to log into the Paranormal Investigation Team’s database so he could keep up on current events. He was also smart enough to then destroy whatever computer he had used so it couldn’t be tracked back to him. It had been a thrill to breech the firewalls set up on a division of the government that supposedly didn’t exist. The paranormal investigation team, otherwise known as P.I.T., knew Ren was stalking their assignments and siphoning their encrypted information, but so far they had never caught up with him and they had never found a firewall thick enough to keep him out of their private system. Not only was he stealing their data, but Ren was leaving data behind from his own paranormal investigations. After several years, the head of PIT had started leaving Rin messages behind the thickest, most encrypted firewalls Rin had ever seen. It was behind those walls that Rin had secretly joined the elusive P.I.T. group, but

Chapter 4 Angelica lay on the bed with a couple of pillows propped up against the headboard behind her trying to avoid sleep… her new favorite pastime. As soon as she came back in with her suitcase, she knew Zachary had pulled his little switch on Ren as the other man was sitting on the sofa staring at him. Zachary had told her to go ahead and find a room and get some sleep so she’d happily pretended to do just that. She’d walked the long halls for a few moments before choosing a door at random and opened it. Upon seeing the interior she smiled and placed her suitcase on the bed. The room was decorated in shades of purple accented with gold and lighter shades of lavender. The bed was huge, probably emperor size, with a beautiful canopy accompanied by gold and purple throw pillows and comforter. The sheets and pillowcases were lavender and she almost giggled at the little gold tassels on the corners of them. A large armoire sat on the far side of the room. When she opene

Chapter 5 Michael was on his way down to the main floor after paying a visit to Warren when he noticed Tabatha walk into the club. The philosophical side of him had many questions when it came to her. She’d been born while Kane was within the grave… so what god had decided upon her birth that she was Kane’s soul mate? “Obviously a very smart one since she was destined to bleed on his grave and release him from the spell,” he answered his own question with a whisper as he sized her up. She was beyond beautiful with her long blond hair cut in many layers, ice blue eyes, and lightly tanned skin. It looked like she’d been kissed by some elusive sun god. He watched her short breakdown in front of Kat and Envy and sighed, she was hurting. He tilted his head a bit to listen in on the conversation… now he was glad he’d eavesdropped since Kane had been the main topic. He wondered why Kane hadn’t said anything to anyone about Tabatha since his return to the city. If the gods had

Chapter 6 Misery watched with rapt attention as another symbol appeared on the medallion. This was the third one and Cyrus was simply having a bit of fun with the spider. The red light of the runic writing illuminated his face and Misery’s expression became ecstatic when she finally saw his dark soul. The light made him look extremely pale, white-blue skin tone accented by protruding cheekbones. It could have been a trick of the light but his mouth was stretched into an insidious smile with yellowed teeth and deep black pits for eyes that let her see directly into the lower pits of the underworld. When the light faded, the little boy he actually was reappeared. He was stretched out on the concrete on his belly with his arms crossed and his chin resting on the backs of his hands. His feet were waving back and forth in the air and he was humming a nonsense tune that appealed to Misery’s own darkness. Cyrus stopped waving his feet and jerked his head back to look up at the

Chapter 7 Jason was still shaking when they got back to the ranger station. Luckily no one was there at the moment and it gave the three of them time to completely calm down. Hunter and Tabatha had both lit up a cigarette and were trying to bring down their adrenaline levels. Hunter was sitting on a desk with his feet resting on a chair, his head was bowed low and his body shook uncontrollably. The only other movement or sound he made was the occasional exhale on the cigarette. Tabatha was on her second cigarette, having lit one up in the jeep on the way back. She was sitting on the floor with her knees up and her chin resting on them. Jason was sitting back in Hunter’s office chair with a blanket wrapped around him and a very strong cup of coffee in his hand. He was shaking so bad he’d almost dropped the cup too many times to count but he wouldn’t put it down. “I can still feel it,” Jason said after a moment. Tabatha looked up at him, “Feel what?” “Fingers,” Ja

Chapter 8 Ren raced down the lone road toward the castle, his motorcycle roaring comfortingly beneath him. Since no police patrolled this stretch of road, he pushed on the gas to go faster. It was an elating sensation, a feeling of perfect freedom that he didn’t get to experience very often and he cherished the moment as one would cherish a rare jewel. He was almost a mile away from the castle when he felt something slam into him… a wave of power so unexpected that it distracted him for a brief second. Ren stopped the bike and glared up the road not wanting to deal with new people right now but Storm insisted this was the best way to take care of the threat hanging over the city. Army or not, Ren wasn’t happy about it and would probably remain unhappy until it was all over. Revving the bike again, he took off down the road at top speed exceeding seventy miles an hour around the hairpin turns. Ren suddenly felt weightless and looked down in shock when his lower body star

Chapter 16 “Look at me, Love,” Kane whispered. Tabatha lifted her gaze to his and gasped when the room around them vanished and the memory of their evening at Moon Dance sprang to mind. It was like it was happening all over again. She felt every sensation, every thrust of his body against hers and the euphoric feeling of completion washing over her. The way his lips scorched hers, the way they brought her to life was relived with distinct detail. She felt the pulsating throbs as she came for him. There was a hard pressure on her chest but Tabatha ignored it, whimpering against his mouth as he thrust into her body repeatedly. She felt something push under her skin and screamed with the memory of the orgasm. Kane watched her writhe against him as he relived the memory with her. When the blade pierced her chest, he took the pain for her… the pentacle of pain and pleasure slamming together inside him and almost bringing him to his knees. He shuddered when he pushed

Chapter 15 Angelica and Syn were literally plowing a row through the multitude of demons pouring into the cemetery from the rift. She quickly noticed the man with her was mostly attacking demons that were headed toward her but she let it slide on the grounds he was helping even though he was being picky about it. Zachary’s flame snake wound its way through the demons, setting them ablaze along with a couple of half-eaten zombies. Seeing what was going on in his peripheral vision, Zachary set the area around them on fire, creating a protective circle of flame. Unless they could fly or withstand flames they would have a hard time passing the barrier. As they approached the group now hovering around Kane, Angelica felt a crushing weight on her chest at seeing him in such a state. She felt a sudden urge to cry… his pain affecting her in ways she never imagined she’d feel for a vampire. Always one to run from emotion, she turned away from the scene and rushed to Zachary’s side t

Chapter 14 Dean walked up and stood next to Kriss. They were overlooking the cemetery and Dean knew this was taking a lot out of Kriss to watch. Help was on the way and he’d barely convinced Kriss to wait on that arrival before they intervened… but he could now feel Kriss swaying on the decision. “I’ve got to get down there,” Kriss whispered. Dean placed a restraining hand on Kriss' shoulder, “Not yet Kriss. I know you want to help Tabatha but trust in Kane. He knows what he’s doing.” “He’s killing her,” Kriss exclaimed throwing Dean a murderous look. “No, he’s not,” Dean stood his ground. “Open your eyes Kriss and see what’s really happening. He’s giving Tabatha what she needs to survive even if he himself dies. He’s sacrificing everything for her… why can’t you see that?” Kriss shook his head, “I won't let her die.” Dean glared at the selfish fallen beside him. “Then leave her be! She belongs to Kane… you know it and I know it. You say you love her… then l

Chapter 13 “You have a party and fail to tell me?” Misery’s face showed ecstatic happiness when she heard the voice and whirled around to face Kane. “Of course I invited you,” Misery said innocently. “Didn’t you hear my invitation?” Kane had taken everything in upon his arrival. Several demons were coming out of the rift but to his advantage, they weren’t sticking around to help the demons that had released them. He strode through the crowd of vampires, mentally smirking when they backed away from him, giving him room to approach Misery. “I think you’ve played long enough,” Kane stated. Cyrus looked over at Misery with wide eyes. “No, you said I could play.” Misery rolled her eyes at Kane, “Children, give them an inch…” Kane heard scratching and glanced over at the tree Tabatha was entangled in. He made a physical effort not to go over there and rip the tree from its roots. At the base of the tree were two zombies positioning themselves beneath Tab

Chapter 12 Misery smiled at Cyrus when he held up the completed medallion to her with both hands. She took the piece and watched the outer ring spin slowly before it stopped on the first symbol engraved with Kane’s blood. “Very good Cyrus, your toy is going to be a lot of fun to play with,” Misery said softly. She had told Cyrus that Kane would come this time if, while making the toy he did not cause pain. She told Cyrus he wouldn’t come and play if he was already in pain. She smiled wickedly. “Does that mean I get a new playmate now?” Cyrus asked. “I really liked Kane.” “You will soon be able to play with him as much as you want.” Misery informed him, “But first we need to tell him where you are.” Cyrus followed behind Misery back to Tabatha whose eyes were glazed over from her self-induced mental retreat. “Wake up human,” Misery hissed and the vines lowered the girl. She pressed a finger against Tabatha’s chin to lift her head. “We have need of you.” When
Blood Bond (Blood Bound Book 5) Chapter 11
Chapter 11 Tabatha had been outside leaning against the wall of the shop when she happened to look up. A flash of silver on the roof of the building across the street caught her attention and she quickly pushed away from the brick behind her. Looking over her shoulder, she saw the girls clustered around Kane at the register with Michael and Nick watching them. Whispering a silent plea that no one would notice her, she quickly darted across the street to the building. She saw a man leap from that roof, to the roof of the adjacent building and frowned before following him. Her heart started to race when she thought she saw a shock of blonde hair. Kriss slowed down when he felt Tabatha’s presence on the street below him. Dean was ahead of him trying to keep track of Misery’s movements and didn’t notice when Kriss came to a halt. Unable to resist, Kriss leapt down from the roof to the small alley between the buildings. Just a few minutes to talk with her is all he wanted… i
Blood Bond (Blood Bound Book 5) Chapter 10
Chapter 10 Trevor had stayed behind the clan… following them for the last thirty minutes and cursing the fact that Jason seemed buddy-buddy with Envy while he was stuck watching from the sidelines. He still held a grudge against Jason for playing a part in outing him to Envy. Still, his gut instinct told him the boy was harmless and didn’t deserve the death mark. When he’d called Moon Dance in an effort to track down Tabatha and Jason, the employee who had answered for Envy seemed like a complete idiot and he’d been put on hold. The wait had been quick as a moment later Devon picked up the line and answered in a not-so-happy voice. The jaguar was about as stupid as his employee… Trevor had had a very hard time explaining to Devon that he was calling to check on the whereabouts of Jason and Tabatha… not trying to track down Envy and using Jason as an excuse. Although, he did love the fact that Devon counted him as a major threat to his and Envy’s relationship. Maybe the jagu
Blood Bond (Blood Bound Book 5) Chapter 9
Chapter 9 Jason was rushing back and forth, putting necessities in an overnight bag for his unexpected stay in Michael’s home. He stopped for a moment wondering how long he was going to stay and grabbed another small suitcase to start packing it just in case. Tabatha sat on the bed watching him run around and truly felt sorry for him. This was all brand new and she knew he was close to his breaking point. Jason could take a lot more crap than most people gave him credit for. He came off as a very sensitive guy, but if you pushed his buttons one too many times… boom. Jason zipped up the overnight bag and flipped open the suitcase, packing more stuff into it. “How long have you known about all of this Tabatha?” he asked. “Have you always known? What about Envy? And is Kriss aware of anything that’s going on?” Tabatha sighed, “Only a few weeks, no I haven’t, Envy knows for different reasons, and Kriss is very aware.” Jason paused in his movements and just stared at the
