They left the Suite and headed to the lobby, where Betty and Carol stopped them from looking at the babies. After betty and Carol congratulated Claire and Blake again, they allowed them to leave.Returning to their stations, they both sighed in their hearts. The babies were beautiful, and they both wished they were the mother of the babies.Helen helped them secure the babies into their car seats, and when everyone entered, she got in and drove to their destination.Claire looked lovingly at her sleeping children as they traveled to the Villa. Blake noticing her change, smiled slightly, unbelieving how much she had changed from their first meeting. Tabitha looking at Blake’s loving eyes at her sister, placed her hand into his and squeezed. Blake looked at Tabitha and smiled, then kissed her forehead.“Are you ready to become a mother as well?” Blake asked the startled Tabitha.“Seeing the babies, how can I not? They are adorable, and I’m surprised that Claire hasn’t asked for more.” T
I apologize for not publishing this past month. The story is ongoing, but a crash of the hard drive from my laptop has delayed my progress. The technician says it will take some time, and I'm trying to recover some of the data. That being said, the adventures of Blake will continue after I straighten everything out from this setback. Next month I will be resuming publishing the chapters. I hope you can understand the frustration I have faced in trying to get the story out to all my readers. Till the next published chapter, have a good read. Danny Blanchard
Startled, Claire had to regain her composure and think of an answer to her mother’s observation that would not reveal the baby’s true lineage.“That’s one of the reasons we adopted them. Don’t you find Blake Jr. also has features of Blake along with Kyle?” Claire said with a little giggle to ease the tension. “With Gloria having some resemblance of Tabitha? It’s why we fell in love with them so easily.”Soon the sound of Consuela announcing dinner was heard, and they all joined the dinner table. Julie had forgotten her comment and went to the dinner table.“Claire, are you returning to work? What about the children? Do you need me to babysit while you are all working?” Julie asked while eating.“I found a temporary nanny for the children. When we get the new home, it’ll be easier for all of us to live together and have a more permanent nanny for the children.” Blake said, thinking of Tabby before Claire could reply.“I’ll be returning tomorrow, and I’ll first greet grandfather and see
Monday morning’s alarm went off the cries of the babies needing changing and feeding came earlier than the electrical clock alarm. Blake helps Tabby and Claire with the four crying babies making Blake smile from ear to ear. He loved his family and felt proud as he nurtured them. Claire was feeding two as Blake and Tabby held one each, feeding from the baby bottles.When the babies were settled, Claire prepared the milk for the day for Tabby to take care of the infants. Claire showered and changed separately from Blake as he prepared breakfast. They did not need to eat as part of the perks in cultivation past the golden core, but they had grown into a habit and enjoyed the flavors of Blake’s meals, so he prepared their meal as the women got ready for the day.Blake wore one of his business suits, and Claire also had a white blouse, a tan skirt, and matching heels for her return to work. She needed extra feminine accessories for lactating and discharge that she would produce after givin
“This is Claire Dalton, the granddaughter of the CEO,” Gloria said quickly.“Claire? Sister-in-law. This is all a misunderstanding. Look, I’ll make it up to you. I’ll treat you out this afternoon. What do you say?” Julia asked, motioning over to Claire with an apologetic expression.“That will not be necessary, and it’s Mrs. Elon to you. I will not be affiliated with your Carlson family, nor is Tabitha, so get this straight and clear now. And seeing you have wasted my time, I’ll be going and see what the hell has happened during my absence.” Stating this, Claire turned around and left the angry woman behind. “Gloria, follow me.”Being startled momentarily, Gloria quickly followed Claire out of the office and headed towards her grandfather’s office. Knocking, she waited for the enter reply and then entered the office, seeing her grandfather sitting at his desk. He looked up and saw the frown on her face, knowing she was not here for pleasantries.“Claire dear, I see you are feeling bet
Silence. There was only silence, then there was a brief wind in the office, and it looked like no one had moved, but the red dots on Blake suddenly disappeared, and lying before Mr. Elise were five heads in plastic that seemed to materialize in front of him. Mr. Elise looked at the heads and recognized that they were all the snipers assigned to shoot Blake, given the signal.The scholar was wide-eyed in disbelief, the bald man yelled in fright, and Mr. Elise stared in horror. Taking care of these men was too easy for Blake using his Quick Step skill. Seeing the men on the rooftops across from Elon Trust using Shadow Sword to decapitate his enemies and bringing their heads to their leader efficiently made a point.“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to dirty the room for the cleaning lady. Let’s take this somewhere more convenient to discuss the terms of your surrender.” Blake said and waved his hand, and the landscape suddenly changed.Blake used the small world as a point of entrance, and exit
A stone fence with iron gates led to the three-story home and large yard. A palace was the only description Blake could come to mind. The property was one of the most luxurious homes Blake had ever seen, and it made his grandfather’s estate pale in comparison, not to mention the Weston Estate.The more Blake looked, the better the home looked for his ever-growing family. The home consisted of twenty rooms, with a private bath joining each room, a large commercial kitchen to support a sizable staff, dining, living rooms, an oak-infused study, an exercise room with all the items you need to keep in shape, and a sauna for relaxation. The back of the home has an inground heated pool, tennis court, and an outside cooking area with an entertainment system for those lasting parties. This was the home he needed; the only catch was it was located in the Capital. If he accepted this home, he would have to move the family to the Capital, and Claire didn’t want to move because her grandfather’s c
The men with no emotions came swiftly to Tabitha; before anyone could say a word, they were seen flying backward like a kite on a string. It was too quick, and no one saw Tabitha casually tapping them on their chests and evading their capture. Tabitha was still in her position before the men arrived, and it looked like they were met with a force field. Lucas was shocked by the turn of events and looked at his daughter with fear. They had gotten a reprieve when the Organization took control of the Dalton family, expunged all their wrongdoings, and even gave them the two practitioners to retrieve his daughters. How could they have failed to get a frail woman?“T_Tabby, please, what is going on? How is it you can repel these men?” Lucas asked, regaining his speech.“Oh, it’s only a charm to protect me. Brother gave it to me. Don’t worry, they are not dead, only knocked out, but if they would have had killing intent, well, let’s not go there, shall we? Brother should be coming here, knowi
Blake was speechless hearing this from Susan Hemingway. Was she not already married to Reginald? She was also of the vampire race, and his cultivation could harm her condition.“I. I don’t think that would be a wise decision. I’m….” Blake began.“All too willing to become yours.” Came a voice that Blake never would have believed saying such a thing.Claire walked to the couple and smiled at Susan Hemingway.“Who is this enchanting woman, Blake?” Claire asked, looking at Susan.“This is MRS. Hemingway of the Hemingway family.” Blake introduced Claire to Susan and emphasized MRS.“Ah, so you are a….” Claire hesitated in her speech.“Vampire, yes, we feed on blood,” Susan said, seeing the startled woman.“Understood,” Claire said and smiled kindly.“Always the gigolo, are we not?” a voice came from behind Claire.Blake looked, and to his surprise, an elderly woman coming from behind her. His surprise was warranted since he had never allowed such a person to enter the Small World. Blake l
“Sorry, but it seemed important. Is everyone okay?” Blake asked, looking at the area where Tabitha had come to call upon him.“Yes, they are in the living room waiting for my return,” Tabitha replied.“Okay, I will take it from here. Don’t worry.” Blake said, hugging her to comfort her fears.“Thank you for coming,” Tabitha said and held onto Blake for a while as her motions became calmer.Blake then let her go, and they proceeded to the living room, where the couple were waiting for Tabitha’s return.They were surprised when they saw Blake’s arrival, as they assumed he was away on business.“You arrived,” Susan Hemingway said with surprise.“Yes, with Tabitha saying that your family was here, I came quickly. What seems to be the trouble? I will help as much as I can.” Blake said he had a good impression of this family and didn’t want more trouble in the future because of their race.“This is the situation. My family is on the brink of extinction.” Reginald quickly stated.“How is tha
Sir. Aldridge then left the room and made a phone call. A man in red robes was drinking a glass of bourbon and sitting next to the fireplace with a nice fire crackling when the phone rang beside him.“Yes.” The red cardinal replied.“Your eminence, the ones known as Azrael, Chamuel, and Ezekiel, have disappeared after the destruction of the holy temple. They left with Blake and have not returned as planned.” Sir. Aldridge replied over the phone.There was silence on the cardinal’s end as the news was shocking and startling. Then, a respiring voice was heard on the other end.“What of the Hemingway family?” The cardinal inquired.“We have been only monitoring them, and they have not caused any trouble since they had last met with Blake Elon. It seems they keep in the shadows and do not want to bring any attention to themselves. Azrael wanted to only monitor their movements for the time being since Blake Elon was a greater threat to the Holy Order, but since….” Sir. Aldridge informed th
The two sisters looked at Julie with confusion. Family vacation? When was this supposed to take place? Then Tabitha’s eyes widened, and she remembered that Blake had promised them a family vacation after Tabitha had graduated from college, and she smiled in her remembrance. She stopped at a posterboard when she first met Blake, and he promised her a family vacation to celebrate her graduation. With all that had happened since then, she had forgotten entirely this promise until Julie brought it up.“I forgot Blake’s promise since then,” Tabitha replied.“Then it’s good that I reminded you,” Julie said.“Mom, with everything going on, it’s going to be a miracle that even he remembers the promises he made,” Tabitha replied and checked on her son, who had woken from his nap.“No, a promise is a promise. Blake has to make it happen.” Julie said, folding her arms to reintegrate her demand.“Mom, I’m a Mother as well, and going galavanting on vacation is the last thing I need to do,” Tabitha
“What do you think Blake is doing to her?” Kelly, who was naïve, wondered as pain and punishment sounded from the home.“Sounds like he is punishing her for not being forward with her information when they came into the truce,” Sylvia replied to Kelly.“Blake doesn’t punish. He’s too nice of a person.” Kelly replied, not knowing Blake for too long.The woman around her looked at her naive nature and laughed.“Blake once killed all those who had occupied this town because they were evil people who were planning on harming the world,” Sara replied, as she had been there when it had happened, even to the point when her cousin wanted to kill her and Blake only to meet his demise at the hands of his saviors.“So, he’s not kind?” Kelly asked, worried.“Blake is kind, loving, and sweet to his family and friends. If you cross his bottom line, you are his enemy, and you will suffer greatly in his hands. Blake always says he would rather have many friends than many enemies. It’s unfortunate; he
“Okay, Clara. How will you guide us, and how did you enter Blake’s Traveling Formation? Only family or someone with a jade token can enter and travel?” Claire asked, leading Clara from the Traveling Formation.“He, he. A little secret, my dear.” Clara said, and this time, she sounded her age.Roseline was, after all, a Formations’s Master. The Formation Blake had created, even with the help of Silver Light, was still a weak Formation that she could infiltrate. If Blake had utilized the Scripture writings, this would have been another story for her.“Okay. Let’s not quibble over details. Is he still with Lucy?” Clara asked.“Yes,” Claire replied, looking at the home Blake had brought Lucy to.Suddenly, loud slapping came from the home, as did loud anguish sounds.SLAP!“AUGHT!”SLAP!“AUGH! MORE!”SLAP, SLAP!Everyone around looked towards the home, surprised to hear the beatings that were taking place within.Blake was there with a paddle in hand, and Lucy was bent over a coffee table
“All those who want to come to Earth gather on the left, and those who want to follow the Fallen to other worlds will gather on the Right.” Came a call from Sara Shuler as she was organizing everyone who wanted to follow into battle over the enslaved people who were to cause destruction on the Mortal Plane.The Phoenix women and a few women from Earth went to the left, and many Phonix women went to the right. Some Fallen had also separated and mostly went to the left to help on Earth. This scene was like a recruiting mission for a significant battle.Betty and Carol Kyles stood on the side, looking around at the divided women, and wondered what party they would join. One was returning to Earth, and the other was going to other worlds. The adventure was awaiting them with either party they chose. Two more sisters came to them with confusion on their faces as well. Francine Estin and Kelly Wheaton came to the two sisters and smiled when they arrived.“Not able to decide which team to joi
“No one is saying for you to leave,” Xuanlu said, seeing the fear and panic in Jacqueline’s eyes.“But you must also show kindness and love towards my husband. Don’t think I didn’t see your hostility towards Blake earlier.” Xuanlu said with an evil grin.Jacqueline nodded, sighing in relief, looked at Blake, and showed a loving smile. This was the magic of the dragon’s aura on a mortal. They would do anything required of them by their Master. Right now, Xuanlu was Jacqueline’s Master.“Mistress, Master, I, Jacqueline, will take good care of the both of you for the rest of my life,” Jacqueline stated and, without warning, began to undress.Jacqueline hadn’t much; she only had a grey wool dress with nothing underneath. Her large breasts were exposed, and a mound of hair hiding her valley of womanhood became visible as she stood before the couple, waiting for their command.Xuanlu was startled as the woman before them stripped of her clothing and awaited their commands. Blake would be ly
The color went out of his face, and he stared at the two women, his love clinging to the other’s neck. He blinked a few times as the situation couldn’t be processed instantly. Jacqueline was leaving him for another woman; leaving for another man was one thing, but for another woman? Granted, Xuanlu was a gorgeous woman, the most beautiful he had ever laid eyes upon, but for the love of his life to say she preferred another woman over him, to see her giving the other woman such a kiss that he had never received, his stupified feelings became anger.Grabbing the embedded cleaver, Brutus swung it towards the two women. The force and momentum of the swing would split Jacqueline into two, but a sound of metal hitting metal was suddenly heard, and Brutus's force was stopped instantly.“Cling”Brutus was shocked at the scene he was seeing. There, on his clever that could slice an animal through and through bone, was being held by two fingers accompanied by Blake.“Sir, I believe you are bein
