2024-10-29 19:42:56The sun was setting and the Demons with us were still coming back with groups of men and women, we could hear faint screams while the portals were still open, but then there was a familiar scream, one that was similar to mine. There was a Vampire Weretiger in the A****n, and he or she was pissed. The portals closed and it was silent.
"Inform everyone that the trials are finished." I told one of the other Alpha's. "You all are to pick from whoever stays till the next day."
He nodded and I left, leaving a few Warriors behind. May the gods and goddesses protect the Alpha and those still in the A****n. I ended up going to a nearby village before sending a letter out to my Stripe saying that I needed all available doctors and warriors. We were going into the A****n to bring back the group of men and women that were in there. Hopefully with all of them alive.
It was dark by the time demons showed up with the warriors and doctors. I put us into groups before we all split and went into the A****n. Others from the trials joined us. No man or woman was getting left behind today. The Demons that could control fire were lighting the way for us. It was hours even after going through portals when we found the men and women, fighting Demons and Werejaguars that looked nothing like ones we've seen.
"Cerberus's Caretakers." One of the Demons with us spoke.
"They won't stand down until the Queen of Demons or a God or Goddess of the Underworld tell them to." Another said. "Only way right now is to tire them out."
"What about the Werejaguars?" I asked, stepping forward.
"Ferals. They're going to have to be put down. They've been corrupted by something a Demon, I am unsure of which."
So we all ended up shifting even the doctors and I leaped onto a Demon that was about to tear into a tiger that was badly injured and tossed him away. The tiger stared at me and tilted it's head before it ran back into the fight. The sun was starting to rise and soon we wouldn't be able to see the Demons. The Alpha that had been taken was passed out and tied up near what looked like it used to be a gateway to something.
I ended up ripping out the throat of a Werejaguar, and looked around. This was not going to end well for both sides.
H.E. NightowlLet me know what you think of this book. I know my last book a lot of you were unhappy with. I was going through a rough spot during the ending of it and lost my writing spirit. I'm going to finish this book hopefully with better writing. But if there is something that you aren't liking please let me know. Because honestly this might be my last supernatural book that I'll ever write.

The Feral Werejaguars kept coming, and men and women on both sides were dying. There was a demonic growl as a large creature with a skull over its head and covered in black fur with a tail made of bone appeared. I had never seen anything like it before. The Ferals stopped when they saw it, all shifting into their human forms. "The Great Beast." They whispered amongst themselves. "Take your fallen and leave, the Queen of Demons is not happy." It growled out. The creature watched as the Werejaguars left, taking their dead with them. Then it walked over to the Alpha that was still tied up and not moving. It's tail wrapped around the man, picking him up before a bright light surrounded us, and I was back on my territory, in my office. A scroll with my name on my desk. Alpha King, Alpha William is back in his territory. I have also returned everyone to their rightful homes. Included is a list of everyone I believe would be suitable as

Were you ever told those stories? You know the ones that were meant to scare you at night when you were kids? To make or prevent you from doing something? I bet one of the stories you were told the most was of Skinwalkers that would kidnap and kill those of you that would do bad things. I was told the exact same stories about Weretigers, Werebears, Werewolves, etc. I of course never really believed it until the day my family was killed. I of course didn't see them as bad; I saw them as my rescuers from my family. Because sometimes family will hurt you more than the people in the stories you are told. My family never found out I betrayed them, until the day they died. Since 100 years ago, I've lived on my own, hiding in the woods. The world changing, both good and bad.I stood at the edge of the woods, watching the teenagers leave the school, before I noticed the young group
Of Hearts and Stripes II - Beau
To say I was surprised that I wasn't put in a cell for what I was, was an understatement. I was surprised and embarrassed. The Skinwalkers I fought ended up using their venom at some point when we fought, so I wasn't healing as fast. The Gamma's mate had to help me wash myself, since I could barely move without feeling sharp shooting pain. Skinwalker venom was dangerous and could cause a lot of pain, but if used in the right way could be used as a pain reliever, or paralytic agent or if mixed properly could be used as ananesthetic, or heat suppressant."Beau, we're going to be downstairs in the kitchen." Elia, the Gamma's mate spoke from behind the bathroom door. "Do you remember where that is? Or should I just wait?""I remember." I replied, as I stared into the mirror.

Marlowe and Maddox were going to wish they were dead, when I return to the Stripe. Now I was going to have to apologize to the Skinwalker girl and explain that I was just going to continue being the Alpha King alone, without a Luna Queen. I looked at the number Marlowe had given me, debating whether I should call her or not. Just as I was about to, I received a text from her. I tapped it and read the message.Beau Oaklee- Sorry but I will not be able to make it. An emergency popped up, that I must deal with. Rain check?Killian Castellani-Alright. We can reschedule for a day after your emergency is dealt with.I put my phone away; I wasn't returning to the Stripe to announce anything quite yet. I picked up the files we had on Thomas Mills, looking to see if there was anything we missed, on where he could be or what he even looked like.Thomas Mills, a Vampire that was a wanted Black Marketer of Sup

I guess to understand why I'm running from my friends, a blind date, and the monster I had for a mate, I would have to talk about my life before I was on my own in the woods for 20 years. Back to the year of 1612.My family was what you would call royalty amongst the Skinwalkers. We had people everywhere, including in those serving the royal family of England and the royal family of France. Everyone wanted to either to mate into our family or work for us.There was our Matriarch Lennox Langley-Oadham and our Patriarch Galfrid Oadham, they were the heads of the family when I was born. There was Elizabeth and Richard Oldworth, and there 5 kids, I could never remember their names because they were always out on missions for Lennox and Galfrid. Oh and then there was the Dackinsons, they were the hunters of the family. Then there was my mother and her mate, who was the son of Lennox and Galfrid. I never bothered to learn their names because I wasn't born the gender th

1635 - Age 23We had moved again, Thomas and I. We were in Paris, France now. I had learned 3 years ago that there was going to be no way for me to escape without help. I needed to find Bridget Bishop and could convince her to help me. Bridget was the key to many of Thomas's victims' freedom, but she still wasn't born yet; I would have to find one of the in-color people from the visions I've had of her.I looked in the mirror and starred at the cuts that covered my skin. Some were old and healing but then there were the new ones, the ones I received last night for trying to help one of the new girls that Thomas had brought in. I knew she was here against her will.The men had decided they wanted to have their 'fun' with the young girl. Those five men were my first kills, and I relished in the taste of their blood, their flesh, their hearts. It was the only time I had never done the ritual before eating hearts.I felt a sharp grip on my fa

Three weeks of sleeping out under the stars, and we were still following the Wisps. Others had joined us, when they found out we were going to look for the Alpha; Hoping that's where the Wisps were leading us. We were going on week four when the Wisps stopped right next to the river. You could see dolphins in the water. One swam our way, jumping out of the water as it turned into a young man."You must be looking for the Alpha, those feral Werejaguars took?" He asked, while looking at Nevara, who also happened to be a Werejaguar. "You are from a shadow here in the Amazon?"She shook her head no, with a smile."Argentina, but my ancestors are from here." She told him, as she looked at the other dolphins that were staring at us, keeping an eye on the young man. "You all are Encantados, right?"He nodded as he looked at the others."Have any of you been in the Amazon before?" He asked, focusing back on us."I have," I answered; He gave me a loo

Two weeks have gone by and I've already had a majority of my fingers regenerate multiple times from being bitten off by animals or to stop infection. A few of the tigers I had grouped with already called it quites, they couldn't take it anymore.I hated the Amazon. There were still tribes of humans out here, so we had to be careful, even though certain groups of humans knew about us. I looked at Eidrich and John, who were whispering with each other, smiles on their faces. Mates. They were going to be killed when others found out.I got to my feet; Picking my pack up, I cleared my throat and everyone looked at me."Time to go?" Eidrich asked, as he and the others grabbed their packs."We took a longer break than usual. If we want to get to the ruins, we need to keep going." I told them.I put the fire out and we began to walk. An hour hadn't gone by when a raven appeared with a letter.Stay where you, everyone is getting escorted out. An Alpha has gone mi

It's been decades since we heard from Arung, the man Anne had asked to help us. The man was a mystery even though I hadn't even met him. Anne had warned us that Arung was someone we did not want to get close to or piss off. That he was a dangerous demon that could survive off of eating his own clones. That his magic was just as dangerous as Beau's.I was broken from my thoughts when a raven landed on my desk. It had two letters. One from the Alpha King, the other was with a seal I didn't recognize, but it had been written in Beau's blood. I opened that later, letting out a sigh of relief when I recognized the handwriting.Marlowe,I am sorry that I haven't been completely truthful with you, but it's for the best. One of these days I will tell you, but right now you need to start packing. The Stripe you are to be accepted in is one of the ones that is looking for a Beta during the trials. I wish you the best of luck. Tell the others that Arung and I

1794There were two things on my mind when I received a new letter from Arung. One he said he had loyalty to the gods and goddesses, and could only give me only certain information about the black marketer we've been trying to catch. That pissed me off. The second was that he was still not telling me what he was. There was only a handful of creatures that were immortal, and no one could figure out what he was.I unsealed the letter and read it carefully.Alpha King Killian,Unfortunately this is the last letter I will be able to write you, I and a select few others must go into hiding. We set fire to one of Thomas Mills hideouts, there were a lot of deaths. I will write once again when it is safe. I was told to tell you good luck with Elila, by Voivode Vlad. You need to choose a Beta soon, it's too dangerous to not have a Beta during these times.Arung Singkang, Head of the Singkang Clan of Astrosphinxes

1734 She just laid there looking dead, and then I looked at the Changeling. He looked scared and I knew it was because of me. Astrosphinxes were mostly known for eating Changelings but I wasn't like that. He would learn that soon. After all I only ever really truly ate my clones and the occasional meals. "Go get Thomas Mills, I still have some spells I need to perfect." I told him, before I focused back on Beau. I then stopped her heart and made her smell slightly of death, before I cooled her blood down. I then moved to stand next to the door, before I spelled flies to fly around her body. Shortly after Thomas came storming in with the Changeling who looked terrified. "Fuck!" Thomas growled, before he looked at the two of us. "Wait twelve hours, I want to make sure she isn't faking this." We nodded and he stormed out of the room. "What are we going to do?" Percival asked me. "She can do this for 24hrs, she's stronger
