Most of the shouting match was over… or at least he hoped it was. He glanced at Kane now that the vampire had his back toward the room. Kane hadn’t bothered to defend himself… Michael had done a good job of that for him. He should have been mad at the blonde vampire and he should apologize in the same breath, but right now all he felt for Kane was an odd fear and, as an animal of prey, he didn’t like that feeling. Kane smirked as he stared out the window. He really needed to turn the volume down on hearing other people’s thoughts. So, the jaguars and the cougars were together again… big fucking deal. What did they wan

Chapter 3 “So, what’s up with Micah?” Nick asked Steven as they pulled into the parking lot beside the church and parked in between two of the busses. “Micah and Quinn got in their usual fight about who makes the rules and Micah left to blow off some steam.” Steven answered as he got out of the car. He still thought it was funny that all the jaguars drove… you guessed it… jaguars. “Hell, they taught each other how to fight, so decking each other is no big deal.” “Then why hasn’t he come back?” Nick pointed out. “That is the question isn’t it,” Steven sighed. “Quinn thinks Micah ran off but I know better.” “What makes you so sure?” Nick asked curiously. “Because Alicia had only been home a couple weeks before he disappeared. Micah had been counting the days for when he could bring her home. Even when Nathaniel was alive, it was Micah who acted more like a father to her. He’d never just up and leave now that she’s home.” He shrugged and added, “Or if he did decide

Chapter 5 Nick had just dropped Steven and Jewel off at Night Light when he got the call. Jewel had been very quiet since Dean’s little stunt at the church but he could tell that whatever the fallen had done to keep her calm was starting to wear off. The further away from the church they got, the more paranoid she’d become. He could only imagine the hell his friend was about to go through. Waving to Steven, Nick quickly picked up his phone and juggled it for a moment when he almost lost his grip. Finally he caught it on the third ring and flipped it open. “Speak,” he growled. His expression melted into one of deep concern before pushing the gas pedal to the floor. Luckily, he had decided to drive the Hummer to take Steven and Jewel back to Night Light. He did a quick mental inventory and breathed a small sigh of relief when he remembered that Warren still had some extra sets of clothes in the vehicle from their last camping trip. No one had bothered to remove them and i

Chapter 7 Jewel and Steven stood in front of the priest trying to convince him of their desire to get married. So far… it wasn’t going very well. “I want to be with him, Father!” Jewel exclaimed. “I don’t love Anthony… I love Steven.” The priest shook his head, “Jewel, you realize what this could mean for your father and anyone that stands in Anthony’s way to get to you?” He glanced at Steven wondering which man was the most dangerous. “Do you even know this young man’s last name?” “His name is Steven Wilder. He’s the younger brother of Quinn Wilder and one of Nathaniel Wilder’s sons. If memory serves me correctly, the Wilder and Santos families used to be two of your biggest contributors,” Jewel explained, thanks to Steven quizzing her on the drive to the church. “I’ve fallen in love with Steven and I don’t want Anthony or anyone else to take me away from him.” She gave Steven’s hand a squeeze, “I didn’t want to get married for a few years yet, but with Daddy forci

Chapter 9 Jewel was feeling a little frightened and jumpy once Nick dropped her and Steven off at Night Light. She was silent as she allowed Steven to take her by the hand and lead her through the club. They stepped through a door labeled ‘PRIVATE’ and went down a long hallway. Steven opened the door and let her go in first before stepping in and closing the door behind them. The sound made her tense up more than she was before and she took a deep breath trying to calm herself down. Steven was so wired now. He was convinced if someone plugged one of the huge speakers downstairs into him, he could supply enough power to make it work. What had him so uptight was he now knew her father really was an ass and that he was dealing with werewolves. He wanted to ask Jewel about it but she was so jumpy, the slightest bit of noise out of the ordinary would probably send her running. He decided to wait and let her break the ice first. He didn’t have to wait long. “So it’s done?
