Sanctuary (Blood Bound Book 9)
View MoreChapter 17 Skye felt the wind rush by him as he was thrown backwards. He scrambled for purchase so he could run back to her, only to be grabbed out of the air by a pair of strong restraining arms. Skye fought the hold until a familiar voice growled next to his ear. “Calm down,” Dean ordered harshly. Dean had been tracking the scent through the city and had gotten here just in time to see Skye flying off the edge of the building as though someone had pushed him. Not wasting any time, Dean reacted and caught Skye to prevent him from falling. However, when Dean looked up at the demon standing on the rooftop he frowned in confusion at the girl. A female Fallen… where had she come from? He thought all the females of their kind were safely away from Earth… it appeared that they’d missed one. “Let me go!” Skye snarled never taking his eyes off the demon and Aurora. “Either help her or let me do it!” Dean ground his teeth together seeing the sadness of her profile. Though the
Chapter 16 Dean left him to his own devices so Skye had decided to leave the apartment to test the boundaries. He was still struggling with the fact that he was now in debt to a Fallen, even though this Fallen didn’t seem interested in harming him like others had tried to do in the past. At first, Skye thought Dean wanted something else besides his death… something sexual in nature. But that twisted way of thinking was brought to a halt when he’d felt another aura mixing with Dean’s… that of a lover. It also enlightened him to the fact that there was more than one Fallen in this city. At the moment… he wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or bad. He was glad Dean already had a lover because he wasn’t interested in becoming a pet to another man. What was even more disturbing was the fact he had enjoyed the few caresses Dean had given him. He simply chalked it up to the fact that it had been so long since he’d felt the touch of another. He’d sure as hell never let Misery touch h
Chapter 15 “I see I have some explaining to do,” Ren stated reminding himself that for Nick… it had only been a few minutes since he’d tried to attack him. “Explain what?” Gypsy asked and released him from the hug. She looked back at Nick seeing the anger in Nick's eyes. Ren stood to his full height. “First things first, I owe you and Nick an apology. I was half out of my mind with pain and couldn’t even see you that night. Everyone was a blur and the only one I could identify was Gypsy.” “That night,” Gypsy looked back over her shoulder at him curiously. “But it’s only been about an hour.” “For you it’s been an hour, but for me… I’ve been healing for over two weeks,” Ren explained. “Did I miss two weeks somewhere?” Gypsy asked with a confused expression. Right now it wouldn’t surprise her in the least. Ren grinned loving her innocence and shook his head, “Nope… for you it hasn’t even happened yet.” “You’re a time traveler?” Gypsy asked trying to understand.
Chapter 14 Once Kane stepped out the front door, Syn turned to Angelica who had her arms crossed over her chest and was tapping her foot impatiently. How he loved that little temper of hers. “Why do they think I’m their mother?” she demanded quietly. Syn shrugged, “Because that is what you are to them.” “I don’t have children you crazy ass Sun God,” She exclaimed. Syn calmly took a step closer, towering over her, “They remember their mother… it is you who has forgotten them.” Angelica rubbed her temples wondering how the hell to explain the fact that she remembered every moment of her life to a hardheaded delusional… she slowly smiled and happily pointed out, “They’re all older than me.” “And you have lived many times,” Syn just as happily defended, wondering how long it would take to set that little temper of hers loose on him. She opened her mouth to yell at him but seeing the expecting look on his face she snapped her lips shut and shook her head, “You know,
Chapter 13 Gypsy glanced over her shoulder and her eyes widened when she saw a big dark haired man step past her. He kneeled down with so much grace Gypsy had to wonder if he was some kind of dancer. Syn leaned down over Ren to look him over then frowned. “Angelica, I believe a call to Storm will be mandatory… we may need him to teleport Ren back to the castle.” ‘The castle?’ Gypsy mouthed the words and made a face at the one she’d just dubbed the king. She looked back toward the door seeing a beautiful woman standing there haloed from the lamppost outside. ‘And that would be the queen of the castle,’ her inner voice laughed. Where the hell had all of these people come from? Everyone looked like they’d either just stepped out of a fantasy movie or the latest edition of Drool Mania Magazine. She glanced back up at Michael’s amethyst hued eyes in disbelief. “That’s your daddy?” Okay… now she knew she was dreaming. Michael cupped her cheeks so her full focus remained on
Chapter 12 Nick slammed on the brakes in front of The Witch’s Brew and shut the car off. Not wasting time with anything else, he got out with the Berretta in one hand and the Israeli Eagle in the other. Double checking to make sure both weapons had the safety off, he approached the door taking note of the fact that it was ajar. Nudging the door open the rest of the way, Nick stared in horror at the state the shop was in. The large bookshelves had been pulled across the floor, blocking the doorway to the back rooms and… the place looked like a tornado had hit it. He heard a light sniffle and walked around a shelving unit that was leaning awkwardly in the middle of the shop floor. He raised both guns when he saw the two demons lying dead on the floor and his feet crunched on something that he knew wasn’t glass. Looking down, he almost smiled when he saw the rock salt scattered along the floor then looked up at the sprinkler system… the nozzles were white. The old man had taken h
Chapter 11 Gypsy froze when the demon spun around and snarled viciously at her. To her horror, the wooden bullet hung suspended in the air between them. She scrambled to her feet still holding the rifle in her hands and couldn’t stop a small frightened sound from escaping her. Then he did something that truly sent a wave of deathly cold through her body… he smiled. Instinctively knowing what was coming, she quickly dove for cover behind the steel cabinet just as the projectile flew at her. The bullet burned through her right shoulder making her cry out in pain. The impact was brutal, spinning her around in place just from the sheer force. She hit the steel cabinet chest first then slid down to the floor with a quiet moan, pain blazing through her body. Samuel tilted his head to the side, his tone mocking as he spoke, “I am insulted that you believed me nothing more than a lowly vampire. Let us make this deal more to your liking… shall we? If I can get through your precious
Chapter 10 Gypsy looked in the mirror and undid the messy bun she had half her hair up in. Fluffing it out, she was satisfied when the long dark curls fell around her in disarray. It reminded her of the movies she’d seen with Gypsies in them… their hair all long curls, and beautiful. She’d even taken to dressing in the traditional Gypsy clothing when she’d started helping her grandpa out. At first it had been a game of dress up to her, almost cliché, but now it just felt wrong to wear anything else. She’d quickly decided it was just as strange as what a lot of the LA girls were wearing so why fight it. Taking another look in the mirror, Gypsy contemplated freshening up the little bit of makeup she had on but finally decided against it. Nick probably wouldn’t notice anyway and she wasn’t the type to overdo the make-up thing. Natural was more her style. She walked to the front door so she could unlock it for Nick but stilled when she saw the shop reflected back at her in the
Chapter 9 “Why is there nothing in the PIT data base about the guardians?” Ren asked curiously as he rocked his computer chair back and forth before turning it around to face his best friend who was once again sprawled out on the sofa. “I’ve even checked the Vatican records and there’s no mention of them.” Storm shook his head, “I’ve never allowed it to be entered into any system… especially the Vatican secret vaults.” “Why?” Ren hated sounding like a child but when you knew almost everything, it was the little things you didn’t know that annoyed the hell out of you. Storm lazily turned his head to look at Ren, “Answer me this. If you were a very powerful demon and wanted to know the world’s secrets… were would be the first place you’d look for that kind of information?” “The Vatican hidden vaults,” Ren repeated in a bored voice. He leaned his chair back so he could stare up at the ceiling wishing he knew the secrets about the five men that lived on the third floor of th

The truth was he needed a few minutes of brisk walking to wear off some of the adrenalin that had built up inside him. The word ‘overnighter’ was irritating the hell out of him and he wanted to find out if Gypsy’s definition of the word was the same as his. That… and this was as good excuse as any to get away from Devon and the mess he was in. He knew Devon would do anything for Envy, but that temper tantrum of his was going a bit too far. Nick blew his breath out wondering if he would have handled it any better than his big brother… doubtful. It also had to suck to have your personal thoughts exposed like that… especially when your thoughts involved injuring someone. If thoughts were a sin then this world was in big trouble.
