The voice on the other end crowed. "That's great news! I told you that you shouldn't worry so much. You should depend on your guild more you know."
Trisha sighed. "I have to quit the guild."
Silence echoed on the other end. "What?" the other woman finally whispered. "You've been playing for over ten years, what happened?"
Trisha chuckled. What had happened to her life? More than she'd ever thought, that was for sure. She was married to a werewolf and had relationships with other men. Her, she'd never thought about marriage to one guy before, and now look at her.
"Trisha?"
"Sorry," Trisha mumbled. "Those guys I told you about, one of them deleted my character on Clevania. There's no coming back from it. I even called tech support and because she hacked into the system she or someone she hired, overwrote the code so there's nothing to restor

It took Rachel a mere three hours to show up after their phone call.That meant she'd used her private jet, which also meant that Trisha was in trouble, a lot of it.Ryan was the one that ended up opening the door for her. Trisha sunk deeper into the softness of the couch. She needed to find a place to hide and fast."Where is Trisha?" Rachel demanded as she lowered her sunglasses and gave Ryan a patented glare."How did you get by security?" Lauren demanded as she took a place behind the actor. "That shouldn't have been possible."Rachel smirked. "Maybe you should train your security to the know the difference between a real camera feed and a fake one. Or at least let them know that they shouldn't send the entire staff after just one person committing arson."She didn't wait for them to answer her and pushed through until she spotted Trisha still sinking into the depths of the couch."Hi Rach.""Don't you hi Rach m
My Pretend Marriage to the Vampire Billionaire The Talk
As Trisha finished her story Rachel studied her in silence. She wilted beneath her friend's sharp glare."You lost your job, and you didn't tell me. You took a random stranger's offer to be his wife, and you didn't tell me. You got involved with supernatural beasts, and you didn't tell me. Trisha, what am I going to do with you?"Trisha stared at the counter. "Forgive me?""Does our friendship mean nothing? I could have helped you through all of this. I'm glad that things worked out, but you could have been killed several times over. And I'm having a talk with that Kanda guy right now. I can't believe you forgave him after tricking you like that.""He never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do, he helped me."Rachel shorted. "He didn't help you do anything. He took advantage of you.""No, he didn't. I promise, Rachel. I wouldn't have married him in-game if that had been true.""You told me that he basically m

Rachel had not been happy, true to Trisha's belief. She'd let her leave with Ryan but had not been happy with it.Ryan had a constant smile on his lips as they got to the studio lot."Ryan, who is this?" The man that spoke had perfectly manicured blonde hair and sparkling green eyes."This is my wife," Ryan introduced. "She'll be in your care for the remainder of the day while I'm working.""Your wife?" he asked with a puzzled frown. "Ryan, I think we need to talk."Ryan's eyes flashed with a challenge. "If you have something to say to me, you can say it in front of Trisha."The blonde dipped his head to Trisha."My name is Jace. I'm sorry if this is rude, but this I cannot allow.""There is nothing you can do about it." Ryan's smile never faltered but he put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to him."She's my wife."Jace sighed hard. "I believe I saw a reporter giving quite a different story yesterday. This is Lo
My Pretend Marriage to the Vampire Billionaire The Press Conference
By the time Ryan was finished with his job for the day, Trisha had a new appreciation for his skills. She hadn't bothered paying attention to him before when he had just been a pretty face to her, but now she could fully take in his work."He's not bad," Lauren commented as she watched where Trisha's attention was focused. "Logan is just as skilled, he just doesn't choose to use it."This time Jace snorted. "You have too high of an opinion of that one. He's a model he hasn't even tried to do the kind of work Ryan does. Logan needs a lot of work to ever catch up to Ryan."Instead of rising to the bait, Lauren ignored him. "Logan is more skilled than you probably realize. Sure, he's handsome and photogenic, but he can act too," instead her words were directed to Trisha, completely ignoring Jace."He's not on par with Ryan," Jace sniffed.Lauren still ignored the blonde."I'm glad this day is over, but it was nice to take a break from Log

When they got back in the mansion Rachel was the first to confront them."That wasn't very smart, Trish. What were you thinking? It's hard enough for me to accept all this."Trisha kept her chin up as she talked to her friend. "I wanted to pull a snake out of hiding." She pulled out her phone and handed it over to Rachel.Rachel scanned through it and smirked. "Wait, does she think that using a blocked number is going to keep her safe?" she grabbed her own phone and taking Trisha's she retreated to the couch."Are you okay?" Logan was by Trisha's side in an instant. "I was with her, don't you think she's fine?" Lauren rolled her eyes at him.Logan ignored her. "Those vultures probably enjoyed that display. I'm sure we'll have the mansion surrounded again."Jace sighed. "Why did I have to get dragged along?""Did you want to fight your way through that wall?" Ryan asked with a smirk playing on his lips.Jace groaned. "No, but I'm not fond of being at Logan Star's residence either.""Wh

"Why do I have a feeling that you're not referring to the Council and their minions?" Jace questioned with a deep frown."Because I'm not," Lauren replied. "I'm talking about your client over there. Have you changed your mind about helping me?"Jace grunted. "I do not see how you are giving me a choice in the matter. I either help you on this suicidal mission, or I go against you and have to fight you to defend my client. I am obviously not a fighter, so the second choice does not appeal to me.""I knew you could be smart if you put your mind to it. Come on," Lauren commanded.Jace sighed once more before his head drooped. "Very well, I have no other choice. The rest of you please stay out of trouble while we are gone. This could become an even more complicated situation."Trisha however was trying to wrap her mind around the idea of living with Logan's pack. She'd gotten used to one werewolf, and one vampire, one incubus, and one felin
My Pretend Marriage to the Vampire Billionaire The Cracks
"What happened?" Trisha demanded as she turned away from the grisly scene and inspected the giant leopard. "Are you okay?"Nakuni finished licking his paw and set it down. "They stabbed me, but I suppose they didn't expect me to turn into this form. I'm sure they expected a helpless kitten instead."He stretched and turned back into his pocket-sized form and jumped onto Trisha's shoulder. "I'm going to stay in this form, and surprise any others that don't know what I'm capable of.""You can't discount a good surprise," Logan agreed. "Not knowing your true form could really help us.""Especially if they try to attack in the bedroom," Claw pointed out as he rubbed his cheek against Trisha's. "Will you let Rachel know that her drink is finished, but I didn't have a chance to bring it to her?"Logan picked up the cocktail. "I'll hand it to her. We're lucky it was only one." He nudged the body with his foot. "This guy doesn't look as trained as I

They were packed like sardines inside Lauren's car. Trisha was wedged in the corner with Logan on the outside and Nakuni across from her back in his human form. "How far away is this place?" she craned her neck to talk to Rachel. The other woman was glaring at her seat partner."Less than an hour, it's off in the middle of a forest. Ryan, change seats with me. You don't need to be in the middle."The vampire shook his head. "No, from here I can keep watch behind us.""Is there really a need for that?" Logan questioned with a frown. "No one knows where we're going, and it's doubtful they've even found out their companion is dead."His words were met with a shake of the head from Nakuni. "No, Ryan has a point. Just because it's doubtful doesn't mean there's a guarantee that it won't happen. I don't sense anyone right now, but it's true we could be tracked."Rachel scowled. "Fine, you can stay there then. But you better do your job."

Trisha's fingers flew over the keyboard as she nibbled on her lip. She paused to take a sip of her water before getting back to work. A step behind her made her freeze and glance over her shoulder. Ryan smiled down at her. "What's up?" she asked."You've been working hard here. We haven't seen you in a while."Trisha chuckled. "You know how Rachel is. I need to finish this coding for her before I can come downstairs. It's the least I can do for everything she's done for us."Ryan wriggled the fingers on his robotic arm in perfect mimicry as if he'd never had his arm ripped off, to begin with. "True, but you still deserve a break."Trisha rolled her neck from side to side. "I think you're right. Is Nakuni finished with lunch?"Ryan nodded. "Part of the reason I came to get you. I wanted to escort you down." He smiled. "Any chance to get to spend some time with you."Trisha's smile widened. "Which is why I'm working so hard. We almost have it

Trisha was stripped bare to Nakuni's ravenous gaze. There was no turning back now, and even if Vanku, or hell, if any of the others walked in, Trisha wouldn't stop. Not until she fucked him.The shifter stripped himself faster than he'd even done to her. Trisha's eyes were glued to his massive dick that bobbed as if acknowledging her gaze and she licked her lips."You're not getting a taste of that, not yet," Nakuni whispered. "I'm too far gone for foreplay, all I want to do is bury myself inside you. I want to feel your walls flutter against and clench me," he growled.Trisha nodded. She wanted that too. "Wait," she whispered as she frowned."What?" he questioned a bit his edge fading away by concern. "Are you too tired?" he bit his lip hard. "It'll be hard but I can stop if I have to."Hard, ha. "No," she answered with a shake of her head. "But, protection?"Nakuni tilted his head to the side with a grunt. "No cubs yet?" he que

A thousand years. Trisha tried to wrap her mind around the words but no matter how she fit them together, they didn't make sense. "Why would you do that?""I repay my debts. I admit I was not aware of the Council's other doings. And why they were stupid enough to bring them here, I am not sure. My guess is it was those children of Westworth's. Those twins never did have brains. You eliminated a threat to the Assembly."The vials. Trisha sat up and her body didn't scream at her for doing so. Vanku moved back as she did so. Vanku's eyes focused on hers, a challenge in their depths.And the pieces fell into place."It wasn't them being stupid," Trisha whispered. "They were going to attack you guys, that's why they brought it here."Vanku smiled, this time her teeth were kept hidden. "Yes, good job, Trisha. I admit I didn't think your kind were capable of critical thought. It's likely they were taking advantage of the situation.""I'm not going
My Pretend Marriage to the Vampire Billionaire The Life
An ear-splitting roar forced Trisha's eyes open. A jaguar bounded down the stairs and following him was a bear, a lamia, wolves, demons, and things that Trisha couldn't even comprehend.She was dropped to the ground like a sack of garbage as the vampires turned to confront the swarm.Jace writhed this way and that, easily looping around Raphael's leg and squeezing it until the vampire was forced to stay still. Jace smirked. "I'm not your death today.""I am," Kanda promised and the demon launched himself at the vampire as Jace let him go. The two tumbled into the dirt on the ground and Trisha could only watch.Liliana laughed as Ryan teetered toward her. "Did you really think there were just two of us here?" she demanded and she snapped her fingers. From all sides, the vampires flowed in as if just waiting for the signal.The fighters were swarmed in seconds. Kanda rolled by Trisha with Raphael on top and Trisha reached out for him, but her a

Trisha didn't speak to anyone else until she was alone with Ryan. The pack had given him his own house as he recovered. As she entered, his eyes were on her."It was about what we expected, wasn't it?" he asked. What was left of his arm was in a sling and the stench of burned flesh lingered in the air."They're making you leave with the others," Trisha answered. "All of the Council has to leave, so after all this, you're just back at square one again."Ryan shrugged. "But you're safe, and you'll be safe. That's all I care about. I know that asking you to help me in the first place was selfish, and I ask for your forgiveness."Trisha didn't answer. His words had a tone of finality to them. A sense that she couldn't push aside. "They're going to kill you, aren't they?" she whispered the words.Would Liliana allow that? The crazy vampire was obsessed with him, there was no way she'd let him die, was there?"We shouldn't talk about t

"We have to talk."Trisha never liked hearing those words. Considering they came from Vanku, she liked them even less. Especially considering they were directed to her. "Are you sure?" she asked.The dragon nodded her scales clinking as she did so. "You will come with me now. There has been a severe accusation." Her eyes flickered over the group. "I can not deny there has been an attack.""I told you," Sofia piped from the side. "You can smell it too.""Yes, vampires did attack this group. I will talk to the main human, alone. The rest of you may go.""I'm not leaving her alone," Logan growled out. "Not with you."Vanku snorted and a plume of smoke trickled from her nose. "I am the Assembly leader. Are you seriously insinuating that I can not be trusted?""Not with a human," Nakuni answered from his place on Mark's back. "Your hatred for them is known.""Why wouldn't I despise the race that has driven mine to the br

Logan moved like a bullet train. Trisha sensed the world flickering around her as he raced but she couldn't pull herself out of her spiral.Was she about to lose Ryan? Lose him before she could even truly get to know him?No.Logan slowed down and her head shot up. She prepared herself to yell at her husband, but the words died like ash on her tongue.Jace was in front of them. The lamia grunted and flicked a hand in greeting. Blood streaked all over his body and his tail was wrapped around Ryan's arm. A giant puddle of blood pooled under the two."Is he?" Trisha whispered not able to force the words.Jace rolled his eyes. "No, but you guys got here too late for the battle. The cowards ran off." He smirked. "Those that survived anyway."Sofia snarled. "What? They attacked you and then left? I hate vampires," she shook her head with a snort and a roll of her eyes."What are you doing here?" Kanda demanded. He h

The rest of the meeting was a blur for Trisha.Did Vanku talk more?She couldn't be sure.The only thing that Trisha did know was that she would not let Ryan be taken from her. She hadn't been able to spend as much time with him as some of the others, but that was something she planned to remedy and him being somewhere overseas wasn't part of those plans.She'd do whatever it took to save him."Very well, human, you've said your piece, and I have said mine. I am leaving now to talk to the wolf pack leader. I expect you to be gone by the time I return. I will not tolerate humans being around me longer than I have to endure."Vanku's eyes slid past her and the dragon clicked once more as she walked away from the group. The other Assembly members besides Sofia filed after her and ascended the creaky steps."I'll take you guys back to your house," Sofia offered, soft so Vanku didn't pick up the conversation. "Besides, I wanted to ta
My Pretend Marriage to the Vampire Billionaire The Assembly's Ruling
"We find that the Council is not at fault for any of these transgressions. There is no proof besides what out demon swears they have found, but as we know they can't always be trusted. And so, I will rule in favor of the Council. You may leave, Madam Westworth, we will handle matters from here."What? How could any of this be possible? Trisha wanted to throw something at the smirking monarch of a woman. Why didn't they believe Sofia? And if she had more secret help, why hadn't they shown themselves? She knew better than to talk though."I believe I'll stay here and witness the punishment for these barbarians. It is my right." Westworth replied with a sly smile."No," Vanku responded with a click that confused Trisha. Had she made that sloshy snap sound with her mouth? How?"What?" Westworth demanded. "You're going against the rules. The Assembly does have to abide by them.""The rules only state that I would find if your words involving your organi
