Chapter 38 - Hana

It was strange that I’d not seen Aidan or Isak all week. I only saw Albert the two nights I had his class. And despite that he’d ask me out on Tuesday when I saw Albert Thursday, he was different. It was like I was in any of my other classes. He didn’t look at me, at least not unless I joined the conversation. It was strangely professional for him. It wasn’t like he avoided me. He was treating me the way he did any other student, but it still hurt.

Why were they avoiding me? Was it because they did care about what happened on my dates with Aidan and Isak? Have they realized their bet is a bust, and they’ll only get blue balls? Was this part of their game? Am I playing right into it by letting myself overthink it? Or was this about that summons? Who summoned them? Was it about me or unrelated, and were they avoiding me due to being focused on whatever it was about?

I felt ridiculous getting dressed in my strapless red plaid skater dress, black heel boots, and black leather jacket. I

Jealous Albert is intense. And now he's "marked" her in a manner of speaking. She wants the truth, but how much can he tell her about the Order?

I have a feeling she is going to be pissed when she finds out what the order has said. She will want to go confront everyone herself. Hopefully they can resolve this before hunts down the order and threatens them all with death if they don’t stay out of her life.

She’s a Kinsley, he should be able to be honest. It’s not like she doesn’t already know about their world.

    I wanted tonight to go differently than this. Since leaving the Order Tuesday, we’ve all felt it. Someone was watching us whenever we leave our house. It’s like our house is the only safe place. It was driving us all crazy. We needed to figure out how to ditch whoever was spying on us. Until we did, being around Hana was a no-go. We didn’t want Hana on the Order’s radar more than she already was. Sure, we could bank on her family connection to deter some, but that’s if they were smart enough to realize the connection. She goes by Yashida in school, and that surname doesn’t mean shit to anyone who can’t look it up in the guild to know her mother. Even if they did figure out who she’s connected to, it might not be enough. Lower-level members in the Order would, of course, stay clear, not wanting to piss off the Bloodmoon Alpha. But people like Azer, Eliezer, and worse, Scorcha, it’s a gamble I couldn’t take. Why did I show up for the date if it’s such a gamble? Because I’m a dumbas

    “You are, but maybe stick to one subject at a time.” I smiled. “For now, we’re talking about Auðr.” “Fine, but I will learn more about you, Albert,” Hana warned as she poked my chest. “Sure,” I smiled. “Now then. Auðr was a couple of years out from being turned when we met. He’d come north, wanting to put distance between him and his surviving family so they could move on and mourn the death of who he was.” I began. “Okay, before you go further. You said Auðr’s living descendents are the Darby members of Ombres Sanctifiées. I know that pack and the Darby family. I did a bit of digging since Tuesday. Shikoba is Léonel’s cousin. She’s a human that’s mated to Persephone’s guard. It was a bit crazy when she and Shannon learned their dad is the illegitimate son of François Darby.” Hana interjected. “Yep. I knew that. Mostly because Shannon’s with Byron.” I nodded. “Well, thanks for telling me. But my question is, why is his name Auðr? That’s not exactly the kind of name I’d expect

    I’m not proud of what happened on the train with Albert. That’s not the kind of behavior I would typically take part in. I chalked it up to this unexplained way these males short-circuit my brain without a mate bond or their powers at play. I at least managed to shut that down before it went too far, much to the ire of my vagina. She’ll survive. If Pam stays overnight with Malcolm, I can handle things myself when I get home. No man necessary. The heavy petting and hickey aside, the train ride gave me a meaningful insight into who Albert is. His connection to Auðr was cool. Albert has a passion for music, even if he never pursued it as a career because his grandmother didn’t consider music a career. My heart broke for him when he told me he never knew his mother and his father was an absentee drunk. That explained what he meant when he said he lacked faith in humanity. I still think it was his father, Gustav, who turned Albert. He can live his immortal life in denial if he likes. I,

    As the final song ended, Albert tightened his arm around me, pressing me against his chest. I sighed, leaning into him as he kissed my neck below my ear. His lips were cool and felt nice enough, though I worried being sweaty was a turnoff for him. For me, his cool touch was refreshing. “Ready to meet the band, Liebling?” Albert asked. “Um. Are you sure that’s a good idea? I mean, with Agustín already having a ton of questions?” I asked. “It’ll be fine. Come on.” Albert assured me as he slipped his hand into mine. Albert led me away from the crowd and through a door marked for staff only. When Albert showed the passes, the bouncer nodded to us. We made our way down the hall and into a room in the back filled with chatter and laughter. When we walked in, the room went silent, and everyone turned in our direction. I’ve never felt so out of place in my years of attending important functions as the Bloodmoon Princess. It was surreal to be in the same room with all of them. Part of

    I won’t commit matricide. I won’t commit matricide. This has become my mantra since Scorcha showed her whore-self at the Order weeks ago. I know it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black. I’ve fucked my way around the world for centuries. The difference is I have standards. Scorcha doesn’t. Example A: she slept with my father. It takes a special kind of stupid and horny for that shit. And now, she openly flaunts that she’s fucking Eliezer at the least and has some freaky mommy kink shit going on with Azer around the Order. Why do I know this when I avoid being at the Order’s headquarters? Because the fuckers have been having a MANDATORY WEEKLY roll call. All members within North America, for species able to teleport or within an 8-hour drive for those who can’t, are required to show up once a week and report to their faction leader to be marked as present—failure to report results in being fetched and locked up for a month. Paxton is serving week three for missing one of Scor

    I hadn’t accomplished what I wanted before the semester ended. Sure, I passed all my classes, but that’s not what I meant. I haven’t found anything regarding Gustav Weeber, which makes me think that, like Auðr, he changed his name after his ‘death.’ I’m still digging. The other thing I haven’t worked out is who summoned Albert, Isak, and Aidan. I only know whoever it is has placed a curse or something like an alpha command forbidding them from speaking of it. They are incredibly dangerous since they have avoided interacting with me in person, and people are following them to ensure they stay away from me. As weird as it may sound, I missed them. I missed seeing them around campus and especially spending time with them. It has been strange and fun passing secret letters to them. Albert was the easiest. I would turn in an assignment and include a letter, and he’d include his letter when he returned my graded paper. Isak and Aidan were trickier, as we had Harris, Pam, and Malcolm as m

    Something wasn’t right. No, I don’t mean the overall hole in my heart knowing Hana was on the other side of the country where we couldn’t even write to her. I can worry about that later. Hana and the mixed feelings we likely all have about her aren’t a priority right now. Aidan is. He went to the Order this morning to report to one of Scorcha’s roll calls and hasn’t returned. While each leader’s meetings vary in length, this was getting ridiculous. He’s been gone for seven hours and twenty-six minutes. Something bad has happened. I can feel it. I’m not the only one either. Albert has been pacing for the last five hours with worry. Our eyes connected as he paced toward my side of the den. At that moment, we both silently agreed: Time was up. We would fetch our friend, and someone would pay if he were hurt. “All right. We’re going.” I nodded, standing. “About fucking time. I swear to Cain, Lilith, the Creator, Moon Goddess, God, or whatever fucking being is listening if anyone ha

    Thankfully, Daisuke wasn’t at dinner last night. Aurelia told him it was a family dinner, so he wasn’t included, and we went to Uncle John’s to have dinner with his family. I don’t think I’ve ever been more grateful to Aurelia for saving my neck. Yes, I know she literally saved me from being killed by Siegfried as a child and nearly died as a result. I’m eternally grateful for that, but ensuring my first night home wasn’t spent awkwardly eating dinner with a lackluster fling is up there. It was great to see Uncle John and his family. I adore my little cousins. They helped keep Dad and Uncle John from putting me through an inquisition regarding my love life at college and who took me to Barcelona. Whenever they started to take the conversation that way, I asked one of the kids a question. Which turned into thirty-minute ramblings about what new thing they did, learned, or saw. CJ and AJ caught me up on ALL the Bluey episodes I missed. It was super informative. I had fallen asleep

  • Seducing The Bloodmoon Princess    Epilogue - Malcolm

    I know they say that time flies when you’re having fun. I’ve never really thought about the passage of time and how fast it can go. I’ve always been an in-the-moment kind of guy. However, certain changes in my life have me contemplating that saying—not only considering it but also worrying about it. I don’t want time to fly. It’s been ten years since my life changed forever. It’s hard to imagine a decade of Pam in my life. I won’t say the years flew by, or they went at a snail’s pace. I savored every day I’ve had her in my life. From the day I met her on the rugby pitch to the day, I knew I couldn’t live without her to the day I proposed to her by Iris Pond, to the day we got married in a very intimate ceremony by Iris Pond, to today when our new house in an uproar of decorating for our baby shower party. Yes, you heard that right. A baby shower. That’s why I’m contemplating the passage of time in ways I never had. It still feels like it was just yesterday that I’d gotten on one kne

    The further we got from the restaurant and my parents, the more relaxed I became. I am so glad they live far the fuck away from me. I don’t need that kind of pressure and negativity in my life. I wasn’t already super close to my family, to begin with, and now that I have this supernatural secret, it’s even less. Couldn’t they have just been happy for me? I graduated from a prestigious university. I have a well-paying job lined up for me in my field. I have a nice apartment lined up to move into. Best of all, I have a great and supportive boyfriend. These are things any parent should be over the moon about. I’m not the first kid in the family to graduate from college, but I’m the first who didn’t move home for a year or more after graduation to ‘get on my feet.’ “Pam, you know we didn’t need to rush out. I was perfectly prepared and ready to deal with your parents.” Malcolm said. “I know, but you shouldn’t have to. They’re my family, and I’ll handle them.” I shook my head. “That’

    It’s been three and a half years since my world turned upside down. Things I thought were myths suddenly became real, and the world, which was already dangerous, became a thousand times worse. Sure, I’ve been in therapy to work through my abduction and this newfound knowledge of the supernatural. I still have sessions with Doctor Westbrook, but rather than weekly, it’s usually just a biannual check-in. Having Hana and especially Malcolm in my life has made dealing with this new reality easier. The guys at DKE were more relaxed around me once Malcolm not only told them we were dating but that I knew the truth. I thanked the ones who came to help save me. As for the ones that betrayed Hana and her stooges, my meddling wasn’t necessary. Malcolm and Harris had kicked all their asses, and when the frat president returned from break, they were formally expelled from the frat. I accepted that I could never tell my family about the supernatural. Not that they’d believe me if I did. However,

    It was weird being around so many werewolves. Sure, we have our share of hybrid werewolves in DKE. Hell, Corin, Derek, and Edward are on the rugby team with me. So, I have no issues with wolves. It’s just different being around full-blooded ones. No one was outright rude or anything. I didn’t like all the eyes on me. I felt like they had a lot of questions they wanted to ask but didn’t know if they should ask them. “If no one’s going to ask it, I’m gonna.” One of the wolves spoke up. “Ask who what, Silvercloud?” Aidan asked, folding his arm as he leaned on the wall with me while we waited for Hana and Pam to finish their talk. I recognized the name Silvercloud—not as a person’s name but as a corporation. It was a tech company that I knew well as a mechanical engineering major. I’ve tried to get internships there but have yet to submit a presentation that was up to snuff. “Silvercloud? Like the tech company?” I asked. “Yes and no.” Aidan shrugged. “That…” He nodded his chin toward

    “Where was I? Oh right. Albert, well, he’s a vampire. There are some dampires in DKE, meaning the children of a male vampire and a human woman. Dampires have potential powers, but they won’t be unlocked unless they are turned.” She explained. “McHickey is a vampire? Okay, that I can totally believe. No one ever sees him during the day. And I’ve bumped into him, and he’s cold, literally.” I nodded, which made the most sense of everything she’d told me. “How will that work? If you have to share a bed with him, it’ll be like a human-sized ice cube under the covers. Is his dick cold too?” Hana pinched the bridge of her nose. “I… wouldn’t know. I haven’t done anything like that with any of them.” “Fine, but after you do, you need to tell me. I’m curious.” I chuckled. “I’m willing to accept that these things are real. But how does that all add up to what happened to me?” “So Isak, Aidan, and Albert used to be part of the Order of the Jade Seal. The child vampire, Azer, and the African an

    Waking up in a strange bed in a strange place was weird. I at least had Malcolm with me. If I kept my eyes closed, I could pretend we were still at Yale in his frat dorm room. That was normal. That made sense. No getting kidnapped off an airplane by a teacher. No being held prisoner by three crazy people. No fearing for my life. No seeing my new bestie shoot three people in the head. No washing brain chunks out of my hair. And no crazy conspiracy theories flooding my mind to try and explain it all away. Of course, I couldn’t stay in bed and pretend it was all just some nightmare. I’m Pamela Grace Batista. I’ve got a reputation to uphold. So, I put on my brave face. I tried to be upbeat. After finding Hana, I focused more on all the eye candy her hometown had to offer. Though not even the smorgasbord of chunks or finding out Malcolm had been calling me, his girlfriend could truly erase all the anxiety and trauma I was trying to bury. I was glad Hana didn’t plan for us to have brea

    After I’d walked Pam to my room, I returned to the kitchen with my frat brothers. For those that were innocent, I understood and would apologize to them later. All this is blindsiding them. For those that are the rats, those fuckers should’ve seen this coming. Our frat motto is Kerothen Philoi Aei, which means Friends from the Heart, Forever. You don’t betray your friends. “You get all their phones?” I asked. “Right here. No one’s going to alert the enemy.” Harris nodded, holding up a grocery bag full of phones. “Why did you have Harris take our phones?” Sal asked. “And what is he talking about ‘enemy’?” Tomaso demanded. If either of them is involved in this, I don’t know how I’ll handle it. They are more than my frat brothers; they are my teammates. Also, if they are involved in this, I don’t know how I’d explain to Coach and the rest of the team why they’re at best on the injured list next semester or, at worst, dead. I didn’t want to think of that possibility, but I knew I had

    After texting Hana, I took the initiative. Just call me Santa Pam. I played McFingers like a damn fiddle bringing up Dai-suk-it. He and his friends were already making their plans. I couldn’t hear what they said in that room, but I could imagine. The look on Aidan’s face was priceless when I told him Hana’s lackluster fling was sniffing around. I’ve never seen someone move as fast as he did to return to his room. I checked my flight status on my phone as I entered the frat’s kitchen. I knew there wouldn’t be many guys here over break, but there were close to twenty guys in the kitchen, and they all went silent when I walked in. I arched my eyebrow as everyone turned to look at me. “Um. Hi. Did I interrupt some super-secret frat meeting?” I joked. “Yes.” “No.” “This is bullshit.” “What’s she doing here?” “Get out.” “Are we done here?” It was a cacophony of different answers. Some contradicted each other, and others were just rude. Like fuck you very much. Who the fuck i
