Pearl caught her breath as pounding footfall neared, wishing to close her eyes like a kid. The monster couldn't see her if she couldn't see it. Her heart pounded so loudly in her throat and ears that her movements slowed and she went utterly motionless. Low-key chat ensued. The footsteps moved rapidly down the alley, passed her.

She crept forward and peered out from underneath the garbage can after many minutes of silence. Her pursuers appeared to have fled. She disentangled herself from beneath the container as quietly as she could and made her way out into the alley. Everything was quiet.

What should I do now?

She couldn’t stay here, since it was only a matter of time before her pursuers realized she hadn’t left the alley and came back to search for her. Yet leaving the alley seemed too risky. Magick was also an issue. What if they could use it to track her?

She looked skyward, wishing she could fly. That’s when she noticed something interesting. Periodically a set of a pull dow

    Pearl hid in the recesses of a closet, hearing the sounds of a alchemist family that had just woken up. She'd wasted no time finding a way off the roof and had located a door leading to a stairwell almost right away. Inside what had appeared to be an apartment building, she'd tried every door, desperate to find a hiding place. When that had failed, she'd found an open window at the end of one of the corridors and had slipped out onto the window ledge. It had been terrifying. Someone not as lithe and muscle trained probably would have fallen to their deaths, but she'd managed to inch her way along the ledge, hoping hard that no one on the street below looked up. Once she'd found an open window, she'd slipped inside. The room, a bedroom, had been empty and she'd found a nice, deep, dark closet and curled up. That had been last night. Sometime in the night the men from the Court of Judgment had pounded on the apartment door, asking if the people who lived here had seen anything unus

    Timothy met his gaze and motioned discreetly to a group of chairs in one of the corners of the room. Vergel made his way there and sat. Better. Now his height wasn’t so noticeable. Around him, warriors roamed, filing papers, obtaining licenses, visiting inmates, and going about their business. After a few minutes, Timothy sat down near him. "Where’s Finn?" Vergel met his eyes and gave his head a subtle shake. "We separated." Timothy made a low grunt. He was worried too. "What’s your plan?" He stared out one of the huge windows at the blue sky, the shuffling, shifting sounds of all those around him filling his thoughtful silence. "I intend to inquire if she's being held here. We need to know that first." "They won’t let her see visitors. It doesn’t matter how good a story you tell." "Yes, I know." He went silent for a moment. "If she’s being held, we’ll need to sneak into the prison area. We know how it’s laid out." "You and Finn do it. I’ll create a diversion." "A diversion? T

    Pearl stared in horror as Vergel pounced on the alchemist warriors, making a barrier between her and them. "No!" she cried. It was Timothy all over again, but this time it was Vergel who was losing."Come on," said Finn, pulling her away. "We need to go now.""Not without Vergel!""He’ll do everything he can to escape.""Not good enough.""Jump on my back or everything we've sacrificed to get you out of here will be for naught." With that, Finn shifted.She hauled herself onto Finn’s back, staring at Vergel. He was busy tossing warriors to the left and to the right, and yet more kept coming. He went through them like

    “You can’t go back for him. If you’re killed, his sacrifice will mean nothing.”She cupped his face in her hands. “I understand how you both felt when I was taken. Now I feel that same way. Don’t you get it, Finn? I will die if Vergel doesn’t come back, just like I would die if you hadn’t come back. Nothing matters but for him to return to us.”Finn bowed his head. “He may not still be alive.”She gave her head a sharp shake. “I refuse to believe that. Chances are they took him prisoner. They wouldn’t kill a healthy Lycaon unless they were forced, would they? They could get valuable information out of him.”“You don’t know the way Verg

    Apparently Vergel sensed her perk of arousal. He lowered his head to hers and gently took her earlobe into his mouth, dragging it through his teeth. Goosebumps erupted over her body as his lips began a leisurely meander down her neck. He softly nipped and gave her small licks as he went. She closed her eyes and tipped her head back, enjoying every moment of it. His touch banished the sadness that clung to her and she wanted that distraction very much.“Touch me, Vergel,” she breathed.He snaked his hand around her hip, pulled her shirt up, and eased his hand down the front of her pants. His fingers found her sensitive sex through the material of her undergarment and stroked. He let out a sound that was like a growl of anticipation. “You’re excited.”Her gaze traveled to Fi

    “It is just the head that will hurt, love,” Vergel murmured. “Once we get past the crown, it will be all pleasure.” He gradually pushed the rest of the way in. She moaned as the men started to thrust into her slowly…so very, very slowly, both attuned to the other’s pace. Her fingers curled into the carpet on either side of Finn’s head as they all moved together. It was though they’d fused into the same being. Vergel brushed his lips across the nape of her neck, then dropped his mouth to her bare shoulder and laid a kiss. “Are you all right?” She shivered with pleasure. The gentle, mind-blowing simultaneous movement of the two men she loved nearly blew her mind. She nodded, bereft of words. “So sweet,” groaned Finn. “You are perfection, Pearl.”

    She was about to burst if she got any more annoyed. Perhaps literally. Pearl was still learning what it meant to be a lycan mate, so bursting from irritation could be a valid issue. What was supposed to be a training session with Vergel had evolved into a threesome... and not the good sort. "Try again," Vergel urged from his position on the mat, feet apart, arms crossed, chestnut hair falling freely around his shoulders, like a handsome, impenetrable behemoth. Pearl would have appreciated the sight he made more were she not exasperated by trying to force her power to obey the seemingly simple command she gave it. After ignoring or repressing the power that had been churning inside, memory resurfaced gradually, her magic, like a storm for the duration of her life, was difficult for her to gather, control, and concentrate it into a regulated beam of Light as Vergel desired. She'd discovered in the previous few weeks that someone had set a barrier on the well of power within her, se

    But Vergel hadn’t stopped there.Mixed in among her old tools and equipment was top-of-the-line machinery she’d only dreamed of, knowing it would take years of work to afford a single piece.A couple of days before, she’d expressed her frustration about not being able to finish, or even start, most of the orders piling up, because the equipment she needed was still at her house.Finn assured her she didn't need to work, that he had more than enough money to cover any costs and then some, but she wanted to work, loved it. Besides, she was used to taking care of herself, and not pulling her weight just wasn't her style.He hadn’t said anything else, so when she discovered what he’d done for her, she&rs

    Henry approached the captives, who were dangling from a tree. He leaned in close to take in June, Ryan, and then Janet's features. In his murmur, he said something along the lines of "This woman is unusual; she smells like a lycan but also human. It has an odd scent that reminds me of Her Majesty Queen Janet herself. When June and Ryan heard the massive lycans, they looked to each other and toward Janet, who was smirking at them, as if to say, "I told you so." Henry continued, as he went to Janet's side and licked the blood from his forehead and raised his brows. "You are an oddity, little one. And you are not from around here, either. Who are you?" Henry and his band of mercenaries might have been the same ones that June's own people were on the lookout for. It was a long-running blood controversy that began some years ago. Nonetheless, June had been on the verge of passing out when he felt that all the blood flowing to his head from the wound made him conscious of the fact that he

    Suddenly, they were knocked senseless by three lycans as they were transported to their secret lair when someone appeared out of nowhere and attacked them, rendering them unconscious. Janet's nose was dripping with blood, and a trickle of it dripped out. It did not drip down her chin, but rather up into her eyes and over her forehead, due to the fact that she, along with her partner Ryan and June, were hanging upside-down in the air. After being taken and strung up, they will be skinned alive and eaten by a gang of feral lycans who have come to take advantage of their situation. Earlier, however, the three had been attacked when they were seen traveling down a trail near the cliff, and their belongings, including their backpack and weapons, had been taken from them. And now Ryan and June were arguing with their backs to the wall. "I told you we shouldn't stop," June snarled at him. "But you dickhead, you weren't even forced to walk in front of us, but for your own bloody sense of im

    "We need to check to see if my friend is still in the building.""Why?""Wait a minute, and you'll see."Before they knew it, they were being waved at by someone who said, "Thank goodness, your little train is still running." June uttered the words and walked over to the man, who appeared to be an elderly retired soldier."Nice to see you, young man, and I've received your secret message on my radio, and right now we must move quickly. After ten minutes, the train would depart from the station. I already had a secret compartment set aside for you three, but please don't leave your cabin at any time, okay? I've managed to bring on a dozen lycans. Actually, you're dealing with tourists, so keep your mouth shut and never, ever open your cabin door, okay? Unless, of course, it's me knocking on the door.""Of course, Joe, and thank you for your assistance." June wrapped her arms aroun

    Suddenly, June shook his hands, as though he were attempting to dislodge himself from the spell of Ryan's lips. "It was a dirty trick," says June."Oh yeah? According to the person who made me drunk and then attacked me to prove a point. What is it about you that requires everything to be a test? Is it June? Remember when you chose the army over me?" Ryan said with a sigh, "We are done with that nonsense.""Come on, sweetie. Play fair now. Tests enable you to push yourself to new limits, mate," June moved in so quickly that he was standing by the couch one moment and standing right in front of Ryan the next. His punch was deflected by June, who moved more slowly than usual, and Ryan managed to avoid his punch back."It's a bitter past, Ryan! And I already apologized a hundred fucking times, did I?""I don't care! You still hurt me." Ryan added with a bit of a smile on his lips. He knew it drove June

    June added, "I think this is going to be good." He murmured to himself as he sat in a nearby chair and rummaged through his backpack."This is the possible trail that we have to follow to reach the peak." "We needed a compass and a certain map to reach the cavern.""What cavern?" Janet asked.June gestured to his own graph and mumbled something under his breath, "There is a cavern at the peak of the mountain, and if I'm not mistaken, then there is a possible entry on the west side." So maybe whatever you've been looking at was inside the cave, right?"Worth a try." Ryan smiles, knowing full well that there was an adventure waiting for them.After two bottles of June's grandmother's wine, Janet was unable to keep her mouth shut. When she told them everything, they laughed at the foolishness of her tale and didn't believe her at first, but after an hour of hearing about the Scroll of Fate, the message behind Ethan's research paper, and her time traveling with Finn, Vergel, and Ethan, th

    "No, not at this time." "I believe the trail has been buried beneath the sleet." She sighed as she took up a position beside him."Fuck it. I'm done with it. Does that mean we're stuck here? "I'm not sure whether I should be angry with you or grateful," he said as he turned away from her and back into the chimney fire."What the hell are you talking about?""While you were outside, I needed to go to the bathroom." "I happened to stumble into some sort of attic." Ryan went on to say that, as he stared into the flames, he felt something stab him in the back of the head. There was a ray of hope. Then he went on, "...and then I found this," he mumbled as he handed her a small brown military bag that looked like it had been abandoned."Can you tell me what this is?" "What am I supposed to do with this?" Janet inquired as she purposefully opened the back and began to untangle what was inside."That, Janet, you know. That notebook, of course. Take a look at it right now." He muttered somethi

    Human Realm. Present Time With two warm sleeping bags of her own, Janet warmed up beside Ryan. They were lying close enough to the chimney's fire that Ryan could feel the warmth of it lapping at his face as their wet clothing dried on the brick quarters hanging near the vent as Janet added wood to rekindle it. When the storm had passed, Janet had buried the family in the snow a few yards away from the cabin, just in case. By the next day, however, the storm was still raging outside, with the entire bracket of the house trembling under the force of the storm's powerful wind. After his encounter with the father's dead body, which was lying in the living room the day before, Janet's eyes were opened. She couldn't help but wonder. She didn't mean to touch his forehead, but she was not expecting those memories to come crashing down on her like hurricanes. It was both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Janet had no idea she possessed the ability to read the memories of someo

    He nodded.She stroked his shaft with the curled tip of her hand, rubbing back and forth on his glans. "To bring you down before we even started," she snarled, her tongue slithering across his ear, causing him to moan. "Of course, I'd go further... I'd keep going until I thought you couldn't take it anymore, but I'm a kind woman. After all, I asked to have your soul... but let me have fun!"She giggled again before attacking the other side of his neck, causing Darwin to whimper again as his fangs elongated. He wanted to taste her. She pumped him carefully, tightening her grip and almost wringing his rod out. Her leafy scales moved on his naked skin and garments, wrenching and untwisting as she shifted her coils, all over again as he moaned.His body bucked, turning involuntarily against her shackling grip. He feared this would enrage her, but it didn't. It had the opposite impact: it was terrifying and erotic.She liked it. Her veins shifted to enable his reflexive twists to gain some

    Darwin murmured. He was getting eager, clenching his thighs together automatically. Alicia hissed sensuously, her rich fragrance only marginally less sensual. "I can smell your blood boiling, I can smell your aroused soul, little vampire, just like what I smelled from the little sorcerer earlier—wanting it, wanting me." "I... I don't..." he began, unsure of what he was saying. He couldn't quite get what she was saying, but her voice was fascinating and alluring. He was in a trance; he understood, but he couldn't get himself away from her. "But don't you wish to enjoy the pleasure no dark creature can provide? What do you have to lose to get a taste of heaven and a replica of the manuscript? If you only accept, you will discover new passions." She slithered closer, her head brushing his hips, her eyes peering up into his. Her body loop softly nudged his back, her head rising in an arc again. Her movements were slow and deliberate, a lovely performance that soothed the senses. Nothi
