Kaynon sat at the opposite end of the ice cream shop eating a hot fudge sundae, quite slowly as he observed the trio sharing a huge banana split. He had asked the waitress for their bill and to buy them all a shake of their choice togo, paying his at the same time yet asking to remain anonymous. The look of surprise on her face when the waitress explained that their ice cream had been paid for sent sparks of joy through his heart. He left before they did, only to shift and follow them home.Kaynon watched as they went inside. A soft scent so faint passed his nose which he dismissed. She paused briefly at the door with a look of confusion on her delicate features, looking around as if she could sense him watching her yet not too sure that her instincts were right. His ears perked up when her eyes landed on his, though he was well hidden from view. She exhaled deeply before disappearing through the door and closing it behind her with a soft click."Daddy, Daddy! Guess what happened at s
Kaynon's heart was racing, faster than it had ever beat out of his chest. Her scent lingered in his nostrils, sweet like honey. The heat from where her fingers had been wrapped in his fur slowly dissipated. Cilyna. The most beautiful name he had ever heard. He wanted so much more in that brief moment. Though he had to settle with their silent exchange for now.Until we meet again. He thought as she rounded the corner and disappeared from sight, but not before she turned to look for him. He finally felt hopeful, with that single backwards glance from her.Sleep came quickly for him, with images of his female fresh in mind. Her dark hair cascading around her face in thick waves, making her eyes a brighter green as they were locked onto his teasingly with a smile to make actors sigh with envy. Her skin a rich tan other women pay top dollar to imitate. She was glowing under the moon's soft light as it mimicked a personal spot light, while she danced in the field they were in just for him.
"Go outside and open your mind to me. Remember me, remember who you truly are." The voice echoed through her mind just as she sat down to drink her second cup of coffee. The voice startled her, she jumped, spilling a little of the precious liquid inside."I don't want to." She thought stubbornly, slowly sipping on her coffee.Suddenly she was struck with an intense pain beginning behind her eyes. Her cup shattered as it hit the floor, coffee covered the tiles as she grabbed her head, wincing and balling up into the fetal position. The pain spread to her torso. A cry of agony escaped her lips as she fell out of her chair to lay in the wasted caffeine and shattered glass."Go outside! Or we are going to make a bigger mess and you will have a harder time explaining things to the human you have claimed as your false mate." The voice roared angrily."Stop! Stop! It hurts, I can't move." Cilyna choked out between gritted teeth against the overwhelming pain that gripped her body.As suddenl
His paws beat against the dirt and freshly fallen leaves. Kaynon's heart soared with the thought of seeing his oblivious mate again. Images of her bright green eyes and long wavy, almost black hair brushing against her curvy hips, had his mind so muddled a tree root tripped him. He landed in a heap with a thud, though not even his little trip could get his mood down. After righting himself and shaking out his fur, he heard a howl of pain. Kaynon wanted to ignore the sound, yet his gut had him turning towards the creature. He found the pained creature lying on its side, twitching its huge black paws. He scented the air, it was female. Not only did he realize this heap of thick black fur was female, she was his mate in her wolf form. Suddenly he became very nervous, his paws frozen in place, his heart skipping beats and his breath caught in his throat. He slowly approached her. She whipped her head around in his direction after he unknowingly stepped on a twig. A deep monstrous growl
Kaynon kept to the shadows as he watched her walk this way and that, not knowing where she was going. He kept his distance, as she had demanded, though the more she seemed to struggle with her sense of direction the more he wanted to intervene. He wanted to tell her she was going the wrong way numerous times but did not want to let her realize he was still following her. It was not until the decision was forced that he made himself known to her again.A male vampire appeared out of no where, coming to a stop in front of her. She started to scream but the vile vermin quickly covered her mouth with one filthy hand over her mouth and the other cupping the back of her neck."Shhhhh my sweet pretty. I will not harm you." He cooed, his glowing red eyes staring into her's as he tried to hypnotize her into submission.Kaynon shifted, shredding his shorts, and with a running start leaped from his hiding place. The vampire released her, throwing her to the ground. Yet he was not fast enough to
"Thomas I'll be back in a little while." Cilyna called to her husband as she grabbed her keys off their hook by the front door."Are you going to get the kids?" He asked as he walked around the corner, drying his hands on a towel."No. I have to go talk to a person of interest in the case I'm working. Can you pick them up?""Yeah, I'll get them. So you've made a break through with your case?" He stepped further into the dinning room, closing the distance between them."Yes. I finally made a huge break. I just need to go talk to this person." She gave a small smile."Who is it?""Now, you know I can't tell you that. If I did I'd have to kill you." She chuckled lightly, as she walked up to him giving him a quick kiss before turning back towards the door. "I'll be back in a little bit.""Ok, becareful. I love you." He replied making her pause to glance back at him."I will. I love you too." Then she left, letting the door click shut behind her.Instantly her skin began to prickle and she
Sitting in her office, the ringing of the phone, placed at the corner of her desk, made her jump. She had been staring at the pictures again. Even going as far as to pin them up on her way map of the town as to where the bodies were found. Hey bulletin board was littered with post it notes with dates, times, and other significant details of each victim. Dropping the red twine she had been trusting strong each tack, she picked up the phone."Investigator Jones, how can I help you?" She spoke into the receiver, all professional and routinely."Cilyna, I need you to come down to Seventh Street. There's been another attack." The Chief of police's deep voice boomed through the ear piece."Yes, sir. I'm on my way." She threw the phone back onto it's cradle, grabbed her leather jacket and started for the door. As she passed the kitchen, headed for the front door, her husband stopped her."Supper is done, honey. Where are you going?" He said after noticing her jacket draped over her arm."Th
"I need to have a word with the Hybrid Alpha. May I pass, please?" Kaynon stood on the border of Ciaran's territory.'What business do you have with him?' Jake, Ciaran's beta, replied standing his ground to protect his pack from any threat, even from a once highly respected alpha suck as Kaynon."I need his help to track down this coven I've been dealing with." Jake stood in silence, his fur rippling with the breeze as he heavily considered the rogue alpha's words before he replied. 'Remain in your human form and follow me. You will be flanked by two of my males to ensure you mean no harm.'"Understandable." Kaynon replied, tilting his head in a slight bow, respectfully, as he fell into step behind Jake and two wolves fell into step behind him, spread further apart to cut off all exits.As they arrive at the pack house, home of the alpha and his family, a red haired boy of about six or seven comes barreling through the front door."Uncle Jake! Give me a ride! Please!" He grabs a hand
"So what's the story that has been passed down through our family history?"Cilyna asked her mother after they got supper cooked for everyone and Cilyna got her children settled for bed. They were not to happy about having to share their rooms but finally agreed when she explained it was only temporary until they found everyone else's family's. "It started when the moon goddess's twin sister went against their father, the god of all creation, and created her own beings. The vampires and witches, who ravaged all life. He ordered the moon goddess to create a being that could rival the goddess of darkness's creatures, to restore balance but she could only alter what was already created." Cilyna's mother began. ******************************************************The full moon's silvery glow shines down as a spot light on a pure white wolf with golden eyes that glowed with the magic of the moon goddess. She leaned down to get a drink from the cold steam and suddenly noticed a pair of e
"Mother?" Cilyna repeated as she shifted into her human form."Yes my darling. It's me. I'm so sorry I've had to stay away for so long. I've missed so much." she spoke, Cilyna ran to the wolf and threw her arms around her neck as tears spilled down her face into the soft fur at her mother's neck. "I thought I would never see you again! So much has happened! I'm sorry, I'm too old to be blubbering like a child but I've missed you so much!" Cilyna rambled, her voice muffled in her fur as her mother nuzzled her back. Cilyna had all but forgotten about Kaynon standing behind her until he wrapped a blanket around her shoulders to cover her naked body. She did not know where he grabbed it from, she also did not care at the moment but she was grateful as she pulled it tighter around her as she stepped away to look her mother in her eyes. "We have so much to talk about. I have two children now, twins and they're five years old." Cilyna started and closed her mouth when she saw the shock in
"Very clever trying to use our own potions against us. But it will not work, you see we have detection spells for just such occasions and your plan failed miserably." a rather large pale man stepped into the moonlight as he chuckled."This is not good." Kaynon muttered as more vampires and witches stepped from the line of shadows the trees cast across the back yard.Cilyna was not surprised that they had returned. She half expected it, though she was surprised at how fast they came. "How do they keep finding us so quickly?" Cilyna said without thinking."Did you really just ask that question, Cilyna?" Kaynon said "It was a rhetorical question!" she yelled before shifting and lunging for the vampire leading the group.He dodged her easily, jumping straight up and flipping over her. Rather gracefully for a larger man who looks out of shape. Cilyna slide right into the manicured hands of a female with black hair that followed to her hips and bright blue eyes."I finally get to meet my
Getting Rasmosis to help set up the traps around the yard was not easy to do. His strong objections were due to the vials interfering with his magic to find the families of the young witches."I have to pull as much energy as I can from the earth and if I do, I could possibly trigger the vials accidentally." Rasmosis said angrily."Without the traps set we won't be able to keep you safe properly for you to do your little spell." Kaynon growled, glaring at him."I'm just saying wait until I have found every witches family first." Rasmosis said between clenched teeth."How long will it take?" Ciaran spoke up while Kaynon was trying not to lose his temper."For the dozen witches? I'll need at least five hours." Rasmosis turned his eyes away from Kaynon's yellow gold stare to look into Ciaran's onyx colored ones."It can be done but my wolves will be patrolling in the mean time."Ciaran spoke with finality.Kaynon walked away from the young wizard before he ripped his head off him self for
After everyone ate, Cilyna went into her office to look over her map to try and find any clue for where exactly the main headquarters for this new council was. She stuck a green pin in the location where she was taken by Thomas, than she stuck another green pin at the location they found the kidnapped kids were. The two pins were on opposite sides of the town. There had to be another location where they all resided, Cilyna was sure of it. If they could eliminate this threat, at least in this location, it would be easier to find other locations with the same issue and it would be safer to get everybody back to their families."Can I ask what's got you so focused to have been in here for the hours?" Kaynon's soft tone have Cilyna a stay as she turned away from her map."Oh, you startled me!" she said as her hand flew to the center of her chest to cover her racing heart."I'm sorry. So what are you looking for, maybe I can help." Kaynon replied with a smile, stepping closer to her at the
Kaynon and Ciaran split up to circle Cilyna's house coming up empty. Content that everything was safe though to move the group of males in, Kaynon tried the door. Jiggling the knob he found it was still unlocked. They made their way inside and they all got comfortable sitting around in the living room."Coast is clear for your return, Cilyna." Kaynon mind linked as he walked around the inside of her home."Ok, just don't pay attention to the mess in sure is there." she quickly linked back.Her words made him smile because her home was incredibly tidy. A place for everything and everything in it's place. Kaynon found himself in her office at the back of the house where he first observed her through her big bay windows overlooking her back yard. His eyes tailed over all her paperwork and over her bulletin board. The only messy part of her home was her board, littered with pictures and hand written sticky notes. The board underneath had a map of the town. Each picture was in the location
After leaving the dinner, not without leaving fifteen hundred dollars for their meal and a generous tip on the table Kaynon and Ciaran had occupied, the group headed to the large public park so the smaller children could play while the older ones sat down at under a gazebo for a serious chat."So, we know that we'll have to get in touch with the Rocky Mountain pack, the Lotus pack. My mates previous pack, the Black River pack. In my opinion you are better off in another pack, Raven." Ciaran gave a pointed stare to a girl of around thirteen who decided she was grown enough to sit with the adults."What do you mean, alpha?" the girl asked."Nevermind, little one. The choice is yours all the same." Ciaran smiled kindly."And I will need my computer to find the coven of witches, but I will need help since a month ago I didn't even know any of this could be real." Cilyna chimed in."I can help with that!" a young man who looked to be around sixteen or seventeen pushed his way through a few
Kaynon woke with a splitting headache and the most wonderful sight in front of him. Cilyna's worried stare shifted to one of relief as his eyes landed on her and a soft smile graced his lips. She helped him to a sitting position and he grabbed the back of his head."Do you remember what happened to you?" Cilyna asked holding out a glass of water for him, he took it graciously taking a long sip and swallowing down."The only thing I can remember is sitting someone in the house and then I got hot over the head from behind. What happened?" he asked looking between Cilyna and Ciaran. "When did you get here?" he asked puzzled."Cilyna linked me that something was wrong and I can running." Ciaran explained."Yes there were two men, hunters. They tied you up and put you in this car before one the other. Ciaran and I dealt with the other. They were lying in wait for us again not sure if we were going to come back but apparently they know enough about me from Thomas that I'm perfectly predicta
"We will travel to the local dinner for breakfast. We're going to move in the same fashion as last time, smaller children on the inside and the older gradually moving outward to the edge. So if everybody ready to move?" Ciaran barked out orders after everyone was awake."Would it be ok if Kaynon or myself could scout ahead and grab some clothes from my house for those who have shifted so they can at least have clean clothes on?" Cilyna asked through the mind link as to not cause a stir, and she wanted a little more practice linking with individuals."That is a good idea. You two will go out first and link back to make sure the address is clear as well." Ciaran agreed before linking Kaynon with instructions.Cilyna found Kimberly and Xander amongst the crowd. Chloe and Kade were bouncing around their legs. The sight brought a smile to her face as she thought what a pack life would mean for her children. "Hey my darlings!" she greeted her children while she walked up."Mommy! Are we go
