Chapter 2 Dominick I knew when I saw Vepar slinking around town that something was up. Dimitri and I had known that she and Asmoday were mates for years now. We honestly didn’t care so we kept our mouths shut. Mates are important to our kind so we weren’t going to ruin their happiness. We often saw the two of them sneaking around to be together. However, the way she was slinking around tonight raised our hackles. We kept in the shadows and watched the shack she went into. It was not long after that we saw Penthesilea, Phlegyas, and some witch at the door. We never did see Asmoday enter, but when we got closer we could hear his voice. We also heard another male voice but we could only see Vepar, Asmoday, Penthesilea, and Phlegyas. We listened as Vepar explained her plan. I looked at Dimitri. We stayed there through their entire meeting and left before they started leaving the shack. “They have got to be out of their minds,” Dimitri says. “I can’t believe that Shade was a
Dominick I am exhausted. I have never been this tired before. Dimitri and I got a vast majority of the leaders of the supernatural beings together and explained what was going on. So far, we had obtained the DNA and blood from all of the known animals in existence, DNA and blood from all of the original vampires, the Fae king himself had given us his DNA and blood, the mermaids had contributed as well, and of course, Dimitri and I had added our DNA and blood into the mix. I sat back and looked at all the other DNA and blood I had gotten over the last week I travelled. This made me realize how many supernatural beings we actually knew. “Are things going well?” Zeus asks. “Dimitri is out traveling to the beings he knows. We know so many and some only know him or me. I just got back last night and he left this morning.” I explain. “I am impressed with everything you two are doing.” He admits. I know when Aphrodite first granted the two of us our wolves, and we vowed always t
One: New Town & New Job Mykayla The girls were excited about moving to a new town. Honestly, I am excited too. Our lives are finally beginning to return to normal. Well, not expected, but a new normal for the three of us. The last two years have been a rollercoaster of emotions and obstacles. Now it is just the three of us in this town in Washington State. We moved here one month ago from Nevada after my parent's death, leaving my younger sister, who is eight years old, and me. I have also brought along my younger cousin, who is also eight years old, and my sister's best friend. She also lost her parents. I sit at an outside table in a cafe when I feel like someone is studying me. I can feel the heavy weight of someone staring at me. I casually look around as if I am people-watching when I see him. He is standing on the corner across the street, waiting to cross. I look back at my phone to see a notification. It is an email regarding my new job. I start tomorrow. I am
Two: Revelations Mykayla OH, FUCKING HELL!! That is what is going through my head right now. The freaking gorgeous guy I saw yesterday is my fucking boss. I am beginning to think the world hates me. How am I supposed to get any work done around him? Being that close to him for the last four hours was incredible but torturous at the same time. Dustin, at least now I had a name to go with that fucking sexy face and body. Shit, what am I thinking? I shouldn’t be thinking like this about my boss. Being this close and smelling his unique scent made my body tingle in ways it hasn't before. I hadn’t thought about dating other men since before my parents died. Damn, he smells fantastic, I thought. He smells like a fresh ocean breeze with a hint of an evergreen tree. Ok, I must pull myself together to see if this will work. He is my boss and besides he’s too gorgeous for me anyway. I am sure I am too young for him because I just turned 20 two months ago. I put the papers on my
Three: Feelings Mykayla I made it through my first week of work. It did get better after the first day, but it was still hard to focus with Dustin so close. Sometimes I felt he was flirting with me, but I was determined to keep it as professional as possible. Besides, why would he flirt with me? I know I am too young for him. When he walked in as I organized some papers on his desk for tomorrow's video conference call with overseas investors. I hadn’t even realized he had come to stand behind me. I was so focused on my task. “Hey it’s time for lunch,” Dustin says huskily in my ear. I jump between the voice in my ear and his large hand on my right hip. I was not expecting either. I turn around, look at him over my left shoulder, and try to give him my best glare. He gives me one of his sexy smiles, and I have to turn away before I do something stupid like kissing him. The last thing I need is an HR issue or to get fired for making out with my boss. “Sorry I didn’t hear y
Four: Feeling Part 2 Mykayla I can feel his hand slide up my bare thigh and under the hem of my dress. I can’t believe this is happening to him. HE’S MY FUCKING BOSS. I feel his other hand come up behind my neck and stop when it is on the back of my head. I feel his lips on my neck again, and I can’t stop a moan from escaping. OH GOD, THAT WAS LOUD, is all I can think. I know I must stop this, but his touch drives me insane. I am sure that when I leave this car, I will leave a puddle in the seat from all my wetness. “Dustin please….” I moan. I am not sure what I am asking of him. All I hear is a deep husky growl when I say his name. The next thing I became aware of was his lips on mine; I couldn’t help but slide my hands up his chest and wrap them around his neck. He kisses me fiercely and is in total control. I feel him pick me up, and then he has me straddling his lap. His hand moves steadily up my thigh, and I moan into the kiss. He takes this as a chance, slips
Five: Fire Mykayla After I got out of the car, I walked around the corner and leaned against the wall. I stay there for a few minutes before walking to the apartment. I needed to control myself before facing my sister and Araya. Bree is very observant, and she would know something is wrong. I am not explaining how I made out with my boss in his car to my eight-year-old sister. I hear yelling as I walk up to the door of our apartment. The yelling increases as I unlock the door to find all three sitting on the floor, deep into playing Monopoly. I wonder how they talked Shelly into that. I refuse to play that game. It always causes a fight among families. “Who’s winning?” I ask as all three of them jump. “Oh hey Mykayla, honestly I am not sure,” Shelly admits. I laugh and walk into my room to change. I pull on a pair of pajama pants and a tank top. I look at myself in the mirror. I have thankfully been able to cover my tattoos. I have my belly button pierced. Thank god
Six: Aftermath Mykayla I slowly wake up and turn over in bed. All I can think is that the bed smells like Dustin. I start to drift back to sleep, but the bolt is awake. I realize I am not in my room, and this is not my bed. I am still determining where I am. Then it all comes back: THE FIRE! All the visions from the night before flooded back. I pull my knees to my chest, and I can feel the fear and anxiety returning. A small sob escapes, and that’s when I hear a voice. Suddenly, I feel the sparks shooting up my arm, and I turn to see Dustin standing in just a pair of pajama pants. His fingers are laced through mine. I am perplexed and can’t decide whether to cry or laugh. That’s when I remember. “Oh my god, Bree and Araya, where are they? I have to find them now.” I say as the panic starts to rise. I jump from the office bed to find them, but Dustin grabs me and wraps me in his arms. I instantly start to calm down and realize that I feel comfortable and safe with hi
