Liam and I are meeting with the boss today. I hope she isn’t a total bitch today. Our boss is a bitch, but she is the one who is going to make the realm belong to only the supernaturals. The humans are weak and take up too much space. They fear us and would have every supernatural killed if they could. They are worthless beings that serve no purpose. Not even the vampires have use for them anymore, well, the ones that are left, that is. Humans convinced supernaturals to help them hunt vampires, saying they were a danger to their race. Once I kill Ari and break the curses on my people, we will be strong enough to help the boss achieve her goal of a humanless world.
As Liam parks the car outside the cute cottage, I notice Ghost pull up on his crotch rocket. That idiot, I can’t believe Zane pulled a fast one on him. Ari and Zane fucked up the plan badly. Those humans were supposed to die. It
Mags sits at a chair around the table in the dining area. Ghost leans against the wall near us while Liam and I take seats at the table. “Looks like you finally cleaned up around here.” Ghost comments.“I didn’t do shit. It was Zane.”“Wait, Zane was here? Why the hell would Zane be here?” I question.“Zane is my son, if you fools must know. He needed my help with something for Ari. I couldn’t turn him down, or else he would get suspicious. I’m the only one who is interrogating today. So you three fucked up pretty hard, it seems. How did that happen?” Mags inquires, taking a drag off her cigarette.“It was Zane who stopped me. It was like he knew what we were planning. I don&r
Ari is a few months along in her pregnancy now. I still can’t believe we are going to have a baby. As much as Ari and I talked about having a family, I didn’t think it would happen so soon, nor did I think it would happen in the middle of two major missions. So far, things have been quiet. Ghost hasn’t caused any issues. Liam and Sage seem to be happily ruling their pack. Mags has tried to reach out to me, saying she needed to see Ari and me for something important. Something about the whole thing feels off. Luckily I’m an expert at avoiding Mags.Right now, I don’t have time for Mags and her games. I knew going to see her would open up a line of communication I didn’t want. Mags thinks because she helped me that, I owe her by allowing her back in my life. That is never going to happen. I have bigger fish to fry than to worry about Mags right now. I still have no i
Dr. Grant knocks on the door before entering. Ari’s eyes dart to him immediately as if he holds all the answers. I guess in some ways, he does. He’s one of the only people who can help ease her anxiety by giving her the information she seeks. Ari lays back as she rolls her shirt up and adjusts her pants so the doctor can put the gel on her belly. I hold Ari’s hand to reassure her. I can’t help but agree that something will be off with our baby. The truth is, I’ve been able to sense that something is off with our baby, but I kept telling myself it was my anxiety about being a first time dad. If Ari is having intuition as to what my senses are telling me, then something is indeed off with our baby. The question now remains what?The appointment starts off normal. We hear the baby’s heartbeat, which is strong. Dr. Grant turns the screen to us, pointing out various body part
Fuming, I head to Death’s realm. I need answers because right now, I have more questions than answers and more problems than I know how to fucking solve. I hate being at a standstill waiting for that one piece of information that brings the puzzle together. It’s infuriating, and it’s taking far too long to get answers.It doesn’t help that I’m frustrated at finding nothing. Ghost is acting like the perfect citizen, as if he didn’t try to kill a bunch of humans in his club to start a war. Then Sage and Liam acting all hunky-dory running their pack like everything is right in the world. They are up to something. No way they almost spark a war. Wait, that’s an option I never considered before. What if Ghost, Liam, and Sage are all working together for the same boss? Shit, it’s possible. They are the scum of the supernatural community, thinking they are sup
The rage I felt earlier fades away into pride and also disbelief. I always thought the coven was Death’s legacy, his ultimate achievement. None of the others have managed to create their own coven. Sure they have other covens and other supernaturals who pay their homage. Some worship them, leave gifts at their temples, devote their life to them much like Sasha did, and some will sacrifice whatever is required of them. Still, Death is the only one to create his own coven and the only one to have children for a long time. There are other demigods like me, but they keep to themselves. Honestly, demigods don't like interfering with the human realm’s issues. They don't care for humans as they are just servants to them. As for supernaturals, well, demigods think they are above them. Honestly, we are. There is a pecking order to our world that no one truly likes to acknowledge. The highest members are the Five. The next rank would be demigods, th
Arriving back at home, Ari is sound asleep. Deciding it’s best not to wake her and let her rest, I head to see Blaine. I know he’s in his office. Zara is busy ensuring our apartment is done before the baby gets here. Cade and Blair are trying to help out in the field for a bit since Ari, and I aren’t able to do any missions at the moment. I think Zara is secretly hoping Blair comes back pregnant like Ari did.I still can’t believe we forgot about protection. I can’t even blame Ari even if I wanted to. She was a virgin lost in the experience of discovering her sexual desires. However, I am the one who should have thought ahead more. I let my desires cloud my thoughts. While having a child feels so sudden and almost misplaced in time, I’m thrilled to have a child. It’s hard to picture someone like me as a person who loves the idea of being a father.
After chatting a bit more with Blaine, I feel better. Blaine is a great person to talk to get things off your chest. His solutions to most of my issues were helpful. I know breaking the news to Ari won’t be easy, but I believe she can do this. I know she can. She’s strong, and Blaine's right. With any luck, it will come down to self-defense. It will ease Ari’s guilt if it’s self-defense. I don’t know how she will feel about the situation, but she has time to come to terms with it. She can’t leave this realm till our daughter is born. She has about three months, maybe more, because I know she isn’t going to want to leave our baby right away.Despite what Ari may think about herself, she has excellent maternal instincts and instincts in general. She will be a loving and caring mother. Zara, I’m sure, will give her pointers and advice just like I’m s
Finding out I have to kill Sage has been a hard pill to swallow. I have a few months left of my pregnancy before I have to lore Sage onto sacred ground and kill her to unite lycans and werewolves. Out of all the scenarios I imagined how I would finish this destiny quest, killing Sage wasn’t one of them. While Sage and I are no longer friends, and I hold deep resentment towards her for how she used me, I still don’t want to kill her. Zane suggested I have Sasha take control for the actual killing part. It’s not a bad idea and one that I’m going to go with because it’s the only way I can even attempt to stomach what I have to do.Zara has been distracting me with setting up the nursery for our daughter. Our apartment is ready, so we are just moving in and setting up our home. It’s been nice for Zane and me to set up our home together. It’s allowed us bonding ti
