Graveyard Watchman Chapter 43: The Mission
The second he closes the door I let out a deep breath, watching the steam rise from my mouth. I glance up at Dominic, keeping my eyes away from the sheeted figure on the gurney in the corner. It's her, lying there. Aunt Kelly was our excuse to gain access in this place and once again I'm grateful to her, but I can't do it again. I can't see her face or touch her cool skin-it's just too hard. I have to keep my focus on the task at hand. Emily Mansfield is up to something. Something evil, I could feel it the first time I laid eyes on her. We just have to prove it before we speak to the Seraph Council. "That was almost too easy." I whisper. "Do you know where they keep the medicine?"Dominic nods, glancing past me at the gurney holding Aunt Kelly. I shake my head, wordless, and his hand goes to the side of my face. Suddenly, I'm thankful for his instant understanding. He pulls away and turns, ever so gently opening the door, taking a second to make a quick sweep of the hallway before g

"You said my brother's the only way." I say, instantly covering my mouth when I hear my echo."I think there is another way." He grabs my hand, walking so quickly I basically have to run to keep up with him, "Slow down!" I shout in my head. "In case you forgot, my shoes aren't exactly appropriate for this!""We must hurry!" Dominic replies back without words, practically dragging me behind him as we round another dark corner."Okay, but where are we going?" I ask, figuring it out when I see the doors to the chapel coming into view straight ahead."We will ask Pastor Ezekiel. I think he can help, but we must be careful. We do not know who she has affected.""Wait, are you saying?" I whisper under my breath, my question rhetorical.Dominic stops just outside the chapel doors, "Yes, she could have gotten to him, too. And you're going to be the one to tell me if he is clean or not." he pulls back his hood, "But let me do most the talking."He pushes through the double doors and gest

A single tear travels down my cheek, "Okay," I swallow, "What about Zack? How can we convince him that Emily is...""We get him away from her as soon as possible." Dominic interrupts, "We already know he is more himself when he is not in close proximity to her.""He's not going to listen to us, Dominic." My heads shakes involuntarily, "Even if I show him what we found on the internet about her having a husband and a son.""She's married?" The Pastor stops pacing and shoots me a surprised look.I nod, forgetting we hadn't told him that part yet, "I'm afraid so, and before she came here she was also involved in some kind of Doom's Day Cult.""And you found all of this out on the on line?" Pastor asks, his surprised expression still just as intense."Yeah." I tell him."How did Zack not see that?" Pastor asks, glancing between Dominic and me."My guess is he had no desire to look any further," Dominic concludes, "Dr. Mansfield is obviously powerful enough to persuade our Seraph Ma

Holy shit, she's already trying to under mind me."Oh," I try to keep my temper below the boiling point, stumbling to keep my thoughts straight, "I-I was kind of looking forward to you and I doing that together." I don't let my eyes leave Skylar and his expression changes. I've got him now, but whatever Emily did or said to convince him otherwise was pretty intense. He's struggling; I can see it all over his face. Clearly, she's already using her influence to trap the one person from my past who's still alive, and I will not allow her destroy him, too.Skylar glances at Emily, still managing to keep a pleasant look on her face but her eyes narrow slightly before she nods, "That's fine. I'll have plenty to show him later," she cocks her head in my direction.I'm not sure if my face matches the fury running through my veins right now and I don't even care. If she wants war, that's what she'll get."Yeah, well, I think we're going to be a while." I say with the deepest victory smile I
Last Updated : 2022-04-14Graveyard Watchman Chapter 47: Devastation
I rush to his other side, taking his hand but he barely notices, his eyes still far away. Glancing up at Dominic, our eyes meet and I can already feel the sorrow and regret in them. "We need to get him to a chair." Dominic instructs, walking Zack toward the table. Skylar instantly goes into action, pulling out the closest one before Zack sits down hard, as if his body is made of pure stone. I get on my knees in front of him and finally, he looks up into my eyes."How long, Katie?" Zack's voice only a whisper, "How long have you known?" Just hearing the devastation tangled in his words makes me nauseated, but I have to tell my brother the truth, all of it. "Unfortunately, not long enough." I whisper and his brows push together, confused. "What do you mean?" he asks, just as Victoria hands him a glass of water. I smile up at her then look back to my brother, "Well, she's already infiltrated the medical facilities, gaining access to places she never should have
Last Updated : 2022-04-14Graveyard Watchman Chapter 48: The Seraph Council
I glance up at Dominic who instantly goes into action as Zack leaps forward, trying to escape. Dominic quickly pushes him against the wall, firmly holding him in place. I knew my brother was strong but his desperation is making him even stronger. Fortunately, he's no match for Dominic, as he continues to fight his way free. If Dominic doesn't do something and fast, my brother is going to get hurt.Dominic's cloak shifts, morphing into spikey gooseflesh before two enormous, black wings begin rise from his back and I stand, mesmerized. Speechless, I follow their span into the air, their tips easily reaching the vast height of the castle's ceiling as Dominic wraps his massive arms around Zack's upper body. Suddenly, the wings push down and draw back up; producing a wind so powerful my hair is yanked away from my face. I blink, taking several more steps back and almost trip before realizing they've already taken off with only the sound of rushing wind remaining."Kate!" Skylar hurries to
Last Updated : 2022-04-14Graveyard Watchman Chapter 49: Keeping Your Enemies Close
I suddenly hear Dominic's cloak shift behind me but I try to ignore it. I don't even have to look back at him to know he's not happy with my decision. Hell, I don't even know if I'm happy with my decision. But I do know something drastic has to be done. Something I know will enable me to watch her too. My gift will help keep everyone safe but I'm also going to need extra protection-especially if Emily can cause physical pain."We accept and approve your decision, Queen Katherine." The male on the left says. His echoed words reminding me of my position here and that all of this really is up to me.Gulp."And as always," he continues, "your actions, ambitious or otherwise, must be accompanied by sincere and honorable intent. Never for personal gain or restitution."I know why he's telling me this. I have to keep my past out of it. I can't punish Emily for what happened to Uncle John and Aunt Kelly...or even my parents. Even though she took Zack away from Victoria and has endangered t
Last Updated : 2022-04-14Graveyard Watchman Chapter 50: The Union
Without warning the cross illuminates with such a bright light I have to squint to see Pastor wave it two times over my hand, sending and even more intense surge of pain to the wound, my eyes begin to water. But then the brightness and pain are suddenly gone as quickly as they came. The blood is completely vanished and incredibly, what is left is an impossible ring of white diamonds, somehow connected together in my flesh as they loop all the way around my ring finger. Breathless, I look up at Dominic, who's already grinning at me and his warm hand covers mine. I glance down; noticing only the remainder of a thick scar in the shape of a black ring imprinted on his left finger. I fight back a wave of nausea rushing to my gut and swallow. While it's true marrying Dominic is absolutely what I want, convincing the rest of my body of that fact may take a minute.Dominic notices and lifts a hand to my forehead, smoothing the hair away of my eyes, "Are you okay?" he whispers. I nod, hopi

Graveyard Watchman Chapter 114: New Beginnings
His forehead is lined in concern, pinging my gut and I watch his expression grow more serious. "It was not a dream, Love," he whispers, glancing down at my waist. I let out a cry and sit up, throwing the covers off of me.There's no blood, it's gone... there's not even a trace."Oh, Dominic, did I?" I can barely say the words. "Did I lose the baby?" "Our baby is fine." His smile widens and my breath hitches, the smell of sweet rosemary swirls between us as he softly kisses my lips. "you do not need to worry.""Really?" I whisper, astonished. "Really, honey?"He nods. "It is over, Love." He moves closer, gathering me in his arms. "You are safe." He kisses my cheek. "And so is or our baby." His arms pulls me closer."But how? I-I was bleeding." My body shivers, remembering. "Oh Dominic, there was so much blood.""I know, honey." He nods, gently rubbing my back. My eyes go wide. "The twins?" I pull back. "They were there...they saw everything, they saved me, I think they even
Graveyard Watchman Chapter 113: Revenge
"Hello, Kate," a woman's voice calls out, and I sluggishly blink, pulling my heavy lids open to total darkness. "Did you enjoy my little gift? I sharpened the blade myself."I reach out, groggy and drunk, touching the edge of a blanket on my chest. "Yes, you are still in bed," the woman says. "But now it's time to wake up!" she shouts, yanking me up by the arm as a hard slap stings the side of my face. I yelp, more alert and duck my head awkwardly in the blackness. She laughs. "They have sedated you. This is going to be a cake walk." The lamp next to the bed suddenly switches on, blinding me, and I sluggishly shield my eyes. "Who are you?" I ask, the back of my head falling hard against the headboard as I lower my hands.I see her dress first, black, long and skintight, hands propped on her hips, hair and face still breathtaking. Olivia. Her lips curl up into a slow smile as soon as I look into her new black eyes. "Surprised to see me?" she winks, "Why yes, I can dream wa
Graveyard Watchman Chapter 112: Removing the Spell
He slowly nods. "Yes, I could tell it in her expression. I could feel her anger."My eyes go wide. "What if she tries to do it again?" I blurt out."She cannot." He shakes his head. "I have been sealed," he says, and I let out a breath of relief.Dominic holds me in his arms a few moments longer, and I look back up, "The councilman, he was sent to protect the twins from her too, wasn't he?""Mmm, hum," his voice resonates in my ear. "The Hierarchy Council knew they would be especially susceptible to her.""Because of their visions?" I ask.He nods. "And their dreams.""If they can kill a demon, they can certainly kill a witch," I smirk."It is not that easy," he says. "It is forbidden for a Seraph to kill another Seraph." I pull away and look up, "Even if she tries to kill them?" Dominic glances down at me. "Yes.""What would be her reason? Why would she want to hurt the twins?" I ask."Power," he says."Power for what?" "No one is sure, but the Hierarchy Council has
Graveyard Watchman Chapter 111: Valuable Information
"Not at all, Victoria, it's okay," I assure her, attempting to ease her guilt. "I know Dominic had a life before me." I push back my chair and stand. "So, if Olivia stayed, she must have met her husband a few years after Dominic left?" "Yes, her husband was already a Warrior for the Seraph Realm, but eventually, Dominic took his place.""Why?"Victoria shrugs. "Dominic was more skilled and introduced new strategies to fight the demons.""Oh...," I whisper, suddenly impressed as I make it out in my head. "And Olivia's husband was sent to the Hierarchy Realm then? "That is correct." Ah, now we're getting somewhere. Demons can't touch this place, it's too holy. "Did he come here for more training?"Victoria nods. "Yes, among other things. Henry was injured pretty badly in battle and was in need of physical and mental rehabilitation.""Olivia must have spent a lot of time with him.""Indeed.""How long were Olivia and Henry together before he had to leave, do you know?""Ma
Graveyard Watchman Chapter 110: Reclaiming my Husband
Still panting, he quickly recovers and lifts himself above me, focused as he begins to slowly move his hips, thrusting himself in and out. His blazing hand cups my breast, and he leans down, teasing my nipple with a firm tongue. My body tightens. "Harder," I whisper, so close to euphoria I pull him down, arching my hips before wrapping my legs around his waist. He continues to hold back, keeping himself from going any further. He's knows I'm on the edge, and he knows how to drive me crazy."Dominic, please!" I whisper, trying to pull him closer but he stops and moves lower, tossing the blankets back before pausing between my legs."Not before I get a taste of you," he whispers, pressing down on my legs as he leans in and runs his warm, slick tongue gently over me, sucking and moaning before doing it again. "So good," he murmurs, his breath like fire. He raises himself back up, his length drags along my thigh, wet and firm. I tremble, reaching out to wrap my arms around him as he
Graveyard Watchman Chapter 109: Dominic's Denial
"This place," he ignores me, eyes darting around the room. "It is not our realm...it must be having an effect on me, on us. Maybe even the children."I squeeze his hand, but he's lost in thought, agonizing. I can't let him take the blame. He needs to know the truth about her. I reach up, pulling his face toward me and we lock eyes. "The only thing affecting you is Olivia's fucking witchcraft!" I blurt out."Kate!" he shouts and yanks himself away. "You mustn't speak like that!""It's true!" I plead. "The twins know it too!" He glares at me, fury in his eyes, and if he weren't my husband, I'd be frightened. "They are mistaken! And so are you!" "No!" I shout, standing up to him, "Olivia, she's cast some kind of spell. There's no way you would have allowed her to kiss you otherwise."His face clears, nostrils flaring with each breath as he stares down at me."I wanted to wait," I whisper. "I wanted more time to prove it, but we don't have time." I move closer to him. "Laila is
Graveyard Watchman Chapter 108: Laila's New Gift
Laila whimpers, and my eyes go straight to hers. I have to be strong. I won't let this woman hurt my children or tear my family apart. "Listen to me, honey," I squeeze her hands tightly. "I promise no one will come between your father and I," I say, trying to reassure her, "In the meantime, do your best not to worry about this right now and get some sleep, okay?" She nods, wiping the wetness from her eyes. "Samuel told me the same thing.""Samuel knows?""Yeah."I take in a breath, scanning the room and lean in, "Okay, but let's keep this just between the three of us." "We will." She sniffs. "Samuel and I have a plan, anyway." I turn my head to the side, eyeing her. "What kind of plan?""I'll tell you in the morning.""Laila," I whisper, moving closer, "are you and Samuel planning to enter Olivia's drea...?""It's the easiest way, Mama," she interrupts. "Dreams are more truthful than real life.""I don't want you two getting involved." I say, brows pushing together. "I c
Graveyard Watchman Chapter 107: Watching Closely
From that point on, I watched Olivia closely. Her eye movement, her facial expressions, anything that might reveal that I'm completely wrong about her, and she's just an innocent woman, waiting desperately for her husband and children to return. An hour went by and nothing. Olivia was cordial, considerate and even friendly toward me as though she were a different person or, somehow aware I was on to her, I can't be sure. When dinner was over, Olivia invited the four of us to stay for a couple of days to help the twins settle in, and we agreed. It was a nice gesture, and I appreciated her generosity.After dinner, we toured Samuel and Laila's rooms, located on the second floor of the castle, directly next to one another with an adjoining door. The twins couldn't wait to show off all the books, gadgets and games they discovered earlier, dashing back and forth while Olivia smiled with pride. She did it all. She completely customized everything to their individual likes, even down to th
Graveyard Watchman Chapter 106: Olivia
I catch a glimpse of Olivia, standing with Zack and Victoria as she stares in my direction, but not at me. She's fixated on Dominic with an expression of yearning, no-it's more like pure lust. I can feel the blood rushing to my face, hot with anger as I glance up at Dominic. His eyes focused on hers with such intensity, I jerk away and gasp, trying to keep my composure. "Kate," he says, reaching out to me, his connection with Olivia broken. "Are you all right?"I glance up, surprised by his expression, suddenly draped in love and concern and I stumble, tripping on my dress. "Yeah," I answer, taking his hand, strong and tight as he steadies me."C'mon, you two," Zack calls over his shoulder, hand in hand with Victoria, "Didn't you hear? It's time for dinner," he says as they follow Olivia into the hallway.Dominic lets go, and I smooth out my dress. Its champagne colored beads glistening under the brilliant light of the sparkling crystal chandeliers."As always, you are a vision,"
