We stayed silent for a while as we wound down the streets of Moon City, the night life shown in the bar lights streaming through the skies."What is the blade that he was talking about?", I asked after a while of silence. "The blade is an ancient weapon that can be used to kill young vampires", Jacob responded, his eyes focused on the road, his hands relaxed on the steering wheel."Young vampires?", I pondered. Did he mean people like Kane?"Do you mean newly turned?", I asked. "The ones that just underwent the change?""Yes", Jacob answered briskly. "The blade is formed from the tiger's eye and the red jasper"What now? I stared at him, my eyes narrowed in confusion.Feeling my eyes on him, Jacob turned to me, "The tiger's eye and red jasper are stones. Dangerous stones in the right mix can kill an average vampire, not to mention a youngin"."The bullet", I recalled from the auction, the auction of the bots. "That's what they meant by they want to make a killing bullet"."Yes, with
I watched the time tick by, anxiously waiting for my shift to end so I could prepare to meet my father. First I was going to drill him with questions. One question had been pounding through my head since I had called him this morning. The why.Then I was going to ask him to hand me the money back, at least the hundred thousand dollars that he had ran away with.What if he didn't hand me the money back? He obviously wasn't going to.What was I going to do then? I needed some kind of leverage over himA recording? I thought, pondering over it as I chewed on my lip, staring into space. The bar was empty, so I had all the time to muse over my own thoughts and not get fired.A recording could work but that meant I had to ask self incriminating questions that could be used as evidence."Hey pretty girl", a voice called, snapping me out of my head.I looked up, finding gleaming brown eyes boring into mine. Michael?"A penny for your thoughts?", He asked, smiling shyly and I rolled my eye
I stood with excruciating pain, my bones groaning as I righted myself, mentally searching my body for any signs of bruises. Grunting in pain as I flexed my hips, trying to hold back my tears as I moved one leg in front of the other testily. I walked on, the empty streets and chill late October air as my only company. I spotted the food mart, its billboard light shining out like a beacon as I noted that I was on my street. He had thrown me out on my street. I braced myself, putting one foot in front of the other, willing my body to move and trying not to assess what had just happened until I was in the comfort of my home and my bed.But my thoughts got the better of meI was done for, I was totally done for. Jacob won. My dad won. I was now Jacob's to deal with as he pleases and I knew the disaster brimming at the end would be far greater than I was encompassing right now.I had no other way out.In all context, I was the one that had stolen the money, with all the documents sign
Conan, Conan Where did I know that name? I chewed on my lips as I felt Sacha's eyes brand my skin as I paced.I glanced up at her to find her frowning at me."What?", I asked a bit harshly. In my defense, I was allowed to be a bit harsh, I was going through a crisis here and it wasn't the what to wear to the party tomorrow kind. It was the I had been aiding and abetting a criminal and the police had found out kind of crisis.Fuck, I was so stupid and now I was reaping the results of being naive.I mean how could one be naive and stupid at the same time."You know you're going to have to go", Sacha bit off, still frowning at me. In her eyes, she was saying, this is what happens when you do things on your own.Classic Sacha, I thought bitterly, guilt tripping me about something I couldn't trust anyone with.Or maybe it was just all in my head.The police had called, and I was to make my way to the station tomorrow for questioning. Apparently they had found my phone and purse in the
Sydney's killer body clad in all black leather garb and a black faux coat, leaned into the desk where Conan was seated behind, a perplexed look on his face."The case has been transferred to the vampire force", Sydney said slowly and I watched, transfixed as Conan nodded after her, my eyes going wide and in awe of the power a vampire holds."Good, we're clear", Sydney said chirpily, standing up straight as she beamed down at me, her silver eyes gleaming with mischief."Woah", Sacha exclaimed, her words somehow snapping me out of my reverie as I realized that she was still there with me and that I was still holding her hand."And who's this?", Sydney smiled, perching atop Conan's desk. My eyes went to his before returning back to hers, my eyebrows scrunched up in confusion."He can't see me", Sydney explained. "He can't see us", she corrected, raising her hand and grabbing at something in the air. My eyes widened as her hand came up to my face, clutching something. She opened up her
Relaxing his hand on my throat, Jacob's tongue sneaked into my mouth, coaxing and cajoling as my body grew lax, submitting to the sweet torment of his mouth, forgetting everything and everyone around me as I rose up to meet the clash of tongues, moaning softly as Jacob's lips left mine. I opened my eyes, finding Jacob's violet eyes glittering with hazy fire as he smiled, licking his lips as his thumb grazed mine and I was entranced, unable to stop looking at him as every nerve ending in my body tingled with sexually suppressed desire."Woah", A voice exclaimed and broke the little spell that I had been cocooned in.I turned, my eyes wide as I met Sacha's round with surprise eyes, Sydney's eyes filled with mirth and then Michael, who was glaring at his tray on the table."Scoot over", Jacob commanded softly, nudging me with as he slid in."Hey, I'm Vanir", he said softly, meeting Michael's eyes.Michael nodded and Sydney looked like she was about to bawl from laughter.Everything sudd
I chewed on my lip as I worked all afternoon, thinking about the text message that I had gotten this morning, wondering what it meant.Secret information on the bots? Who was Angie?What did she know?And was I really thinking of going?I couldn't believe I was actually thinking of going.I took out my phone again, opening up the text again'I have secret information on the bots. Meet me at the amusement park by 8~Angie'.I stared at the phone, trying to decipher who Angie was, and how had she gotten my number?How had she known of my relation with the bots?I was most definitely going to find out all these things, I sealed the thought in my head as I slid my phone back into my apron pocket and attended to a customer that had just walked in.I hoped I could drag Sacha with me. Sacha didn't know anything about the bots. Lanie did, I was going to call her after my shift.I threw myself into work, mixing drinks, wiping down tables and glasses, taking tips and smiling flirtatiously with t
Words reached my ears, the not so silent murmurs pulling me out of my sleep as I opened my eyes groggily, the high end ritzy ceiling bathed in gold coming into my view.Where was I?I felt the soft surface behind me, noting that I was atop a bed and I frowned inwardly, trying to sit up as fear doubled up my heart rate.Where was I?I somehow managed to sit up as I recalled I had heard voices. I glanced around, feeling eyes on me as my gaze met with Sydney's concerned ones."Hey", Sydney said somberly with a wave, her eyes dimming in sympathy. I glanced at Claude who was staring at me with an emotionless gaze."What am I doing here?", I asked, my voice coming out groggy as I tried to recall what had led to me being here. My memories refused to cooperate to that effect."What are we all doing here?", Claude spoke before Sydney had the chance to, throwing back my question.I frowned, "What?""What are you doing here? What are we doing here?", Claude retorted, "All that doesn't matter".
Epilogue.I sensed her before she came into the bedroom, the door opened and her eyes focused on me like I was her next meal and she intended to ravish me. My sex grew hard from the look in her eyes and the fact that she was finally mine all mine.She closed the door softly behind her and walked like a cat to the feet of my bed. I laid there watching her with heated eyes following every movement the I realized I would give my heart for this woman. She had healed quite nicely in two weeks. The scar on her heart had almost faded and she was glowing. Thanks to the vampire blood running in her veins. Dalia tugged on her robe and dropped it to the ground and my mouth watered. She was wearing nothing underneath. The glorious swell of her breast rose with each of her rapid breaths. “What’s the matter?”, I teased and brought out my hard as a dumbbell cock. My tip was already glistened with prec*m from anticipation. “You can’t stop now”.Dalia’s eyes heated and I think she darted out her
Sacha’s povThey were gone. Like their physical bodies were still intact but they were so still like they had moved to another dimension and left their bodies. I would never fully understand the ways of those folks and I wouldn’t start now because they were pressing issues to be attended to. My best friend was lying lifeless on the floor with a dagger protruding from her chest. I refused to believe she was dead. Dalia couldn’t be dead. No one was appearing out of the shadows. Kane’s mum and what I guessed to be the other chick’s mum laid side by side each other. Dead, unmoving, no more coming back to this world. I didn’t even know what to do. I wanted to run to Dalia’s side but I was so scared that someone was going to come out of the shadows and slice my neck next.I looked at Kane and he didn’t even seem like he was aware of his surroundings. The other girl who I think was Lanie had been mumbling something ever since her mum had been offed and she was still mumbling the same
I stared wide eyed at the figure that loomed over with a dagger in her hand. Her dark hair was flowing down her face and her lips were blood red like she had just finished a blood feast. Her eyes were empty big black balls and I felt the cold she was emanating all the way up to my veins. She wanted me to kill Jacob.She wanted me to kill Jacob to live.I screamed but I couldn’t scream out because of the cloth tied against my mouth.“Go on. Take it”, She nudged the dagger towards me. I started down at the dagger and wondered if this was the infamous blade made from the things Jacob told me a while ago.“Your time is ticking”, the evil woman said and the blade clattered to the floor and out of nowhere a clock started ticking loudly. Like a countdown to a huge bomb.Instead this time, I didn’t know how long I had or what was going to happen to me if I refused to do what she said.My eyes went to Jacob whose face was cleared from every emotion. He wasn’t even looking at me but I unders
This had to end. The damage was already enough, the casualties, the people being locked up in their houses from the fear of what was going. From the panel board, I could see Leon and his team had already arrived at the garden center to help rescue the injured. What exactly did Adriana want? For Jacob to concede the city to her?“She knows St. Laurent is in the city council building”, the vampire that had been put in charge of babysitting me alongside Sydney spoke up.My eyes widened. Jacob was at the city building? He was at the very place 200 bots surrounded at the moment?“What?”, I croaked out. “Why?” “I thought he evacuated along with everyone”“Indirectly this is a fight for his city. You didn’t expect him to cower and hide at the face of his mother”, Sydney retorted, throwing her hair back as she watched the screen with searching eyes. I hadn’t even known when she had appeared.“But he can’t seriously think of facing her alone. See the army she has amassed. This doesn’t even
I ran without looking back, the guards overlooking the place were probably slacking or the cloak I was wearing possessed some kind of ethereal power. The woman had ordered me to close the door behind me and not look back, saying everything was written out in the letter.Hoping the letter was in the envelope, I held it tightly to my chest as I sneaked out from a heavy iron backdoor that was already open.I had a feeling it was the woman’s doing.I walked for a mile or two, seeing nothing but grass all aroundWhere the fuck was I?Now was the time to try that little trick I had been taught once upon a time.I closed my eyes, taking in a deep breath in turn as I imagined my room in Jacob’s historical mansion. The blood red curtains appeared in my mind, or were they lavender colored?The fuck? This wasn’t going to work.I imagined the strategy room where we had stayed the last time to plan, the long table and the oak wood chairs. The wind whooshed through my ears and suddenly five sets o
Jacob's POVGreen eyes stared at me, his eyebrows quirked up in askance but I hadn't been paying attention.My mind was far away from here, my lungs felt tight with every passing minute. Questions swarm through my head, as I stared into space. What was happening to her at the moment? I knew she couldn't be dead because the bond still felt strong but the worry gnawed at me from within."Boss", Sydney voiced and my eyes snapped to hers. "We are awaiting your instructions".My head went blank for a second as I tried to rehash what Leon had said from where he seated opposite.Seeming to know I hadn't heard him, Leon repeated, his green eyes focused and mean, "Words on the street says a number of trucks had been seen moving into the city".I nodded, finally understanding. My birthgiver hadn't been building her soldiers in my city, she'd been transporting them in, right under my nose.I had given her that power.I had given her the power to bring me to my knees and she knew it. My lungs
InterludeHi, my loves. Merry Christmas. Happy new year. Happy new months… I suck…I know. I terribly suck for leaving you all hanging.Well, the past months have been my absolute worst. I've been through things and came out even when I thought I couldn't.Enough of the sob story…blahhThe good news is I'm back…And so is Jacob and Dalia. And…..drumroll please…. Leon and Sacha.Takeover III came to, my head pounding like a mega steel drum.Fuck, this kidnapping shit never gets old, does it?I blink, the lights like sears piercing through my corneas. My eyes adjusted quickly and I found out my hands were tightly cinched behind me.I looked around nervously, my heart rate tripling and sweat rolling like a snail down my back. The memories came back and I tried to swallow my fear. Michael, Adriana, there were a lot of people with me on their shit list, even though I had done absolutely nothing to deserve being on there.A noise sounded outside the small room and I closed my eyes immedi
No, I shook my head rapidly, my eyes still wide with shock. It wasn't possible.Michael smiled and walked into the house, his eyes scanning the place.Sacha, the thought flickered in my head. Sacha was in the kitchen. He was going to see her if she stepped out."How've you been, darling. Did you miss me?" Michael asked, tilting his head a bit as his cold and callous eyes met with mineHow had I never noticed this before?How had I not noticed the cold and calculating nature behind his eyes?"What do you want?", I managed to ask even as my head was going haywire with what to do. "A lot of things, sweet cheeks", He answered and Sacha chose that horrible moment to step out. Her eyes were wide and there was a butcher knife in her clenched fists."Get out", she seethed and the tension in the air grew more rigid.No, I screamed in my head. Michael was dangerous, surely she was bluffing about confronting him with a butcher knife.I stepped in front of her as Michael's smile grew and his fan
I kissed him like my life depended on it... because maybe it did.Jacob hefted me up and my body folded around his, my legs wrapped around his waist and my body melted into him.This was what I had always wanted."We can't do this here", Jacob mumbled at me but kept on nibbling on my mouth.I pulled away, feeling elated as I searched his eyes."You can drop me now", I murmured, looking anywhere but at his mouth."You feel so comfortable right here", He smiled and my heart melted."Sydney and Claude will be back any moment and we still have the Dick situation", I said level headedly Jacob sighed and placed me carefully on my feet. "Come home with me"."No", I stated immediately and watched his head tilt in confusion."No?"I nodded, trying to hide my smile. I took a step back to at least find a breathing space from his magnetic presence."What do you mean, no?""You hurt me more than a couple of times", I answered matter of factly. "Don't you think I'd be stupid if I don't let you wor
