After we finished our food, we got up and left the restaurant, confident that Nathan was going to get what he deserved, and got in our respective vehicles. I told Jade that we were going to be a little bit late, and to tell Nicki that we would have to reschedule our "meeting", so Nicki would know what I meant by that. Nicki was one of the few people that I've known since before I sold my soul to the devil, became a demon, and later met Jack, she and I had a monthly sleepover where we would go out, get some beers, or wine, and hung out, watching movies, and talking about life, we would probably just postpone it a week. I shifted, pulled out of the parking lot, and sped down the road to get back onto I-10, we drove down I-10 for a few hours before we pulled off an exit and pulled into our favorite bar, walking inside Jack asked how long we would be here, he loved coming here but I also knew that he wanted to go to sleep, it was pretty late.

    "Hey, Jake, how's it going?""Not bad, man, not bad at all," I said as I gave Mason, the owner of the gas station I went to every time I wanted a soda, the cash to pay for my drink "How's life treatin' ya?""Pretty good, I heard about Derek's proposal idea, need any help?""Mate, all I know is that I'm supposed to take Johnny somewhere, so I'm not the best person to ask.""I'll call Derek later and ask him then, I heard about Alex by the way, you gonna tell me or am I gonna have to tickle it out of you?""You try and tickle me and I will mount your head on a pike," I said and pointed at him threateningly, he laughed it off and waved goodbye as I left, I waved to his boyfriend, got in my pickup and drove off. 'Where to next...where to...' I thought, trying to think of what to do to pass the time, it had been a while since I had the time to be by myself for once. I got on the road and decided to go to the Alamo, walk around a little bit and admire the building. So I got on the I-10 and

    When I got home I was immediately dragged back outside by the ear by Nicki, not the most pleasant experience I've had with her."Ow ow ow ow! Stop!" I said, getting her to let go, I rubbed my ear and was about to yell when I saw the worry in her eyes, "What's up with you?""Where were you?""The Alamo Plaza, why?""When Jade and I went out for a walk around the house we saw you drive off and saw two wolves following you, I assumed the worst and got worried.""I'm guessing Jade did something to distract you, that made her wait a few hours before calling me about it?" I said, making her blush and mumble a 'shut up' under her breath, and pulled her into a hug "I'm Satan's spawn, Nicki, I'm not goin' to get overrun by a pack of mutts anytime soon.""Just be careful, alright, we care about you.""Oh shut it, ya sap," I said and walked back towards the door to the house, she followed behind me and I walked towards to kitchen. When I got to the kitchen I pulled out a couple of sodas and gave

    Jack started circling clockwise around me, leading me to go in the opposite direction, if someone looked at us from above it would look like we were making a giant circle. I knew that he was going to strike first, he was far bigger than me, making it so that it would take more energy for him to attack, my goal was to draw out the fight until I saw an opportunity to strike, something that he couldn't afford to have happen. He shifted his weight to his front leg, meaning that he was ready to lunge, so I shifted my weight to my back leg and readied myself. He lunged and swung his blade towards my neck, I jumped to the side avoiding it and readied my blade. Jack swung again, I instinctively raised my blades in an 'X' pattern, blocking the strike, and pushed them skyward, giving him less control of his blade, I kicked him at the hips, causing him to drop his blade and stagger a bit, giving me the opportunity I needed. I flipped one of my knives and hit him in the jaw with the butt of my kn

    I pulled into the parking lot of the Dave and Buster's, smiling at the memories I once had with this place, I hadn't been in many years and that was when I was a teenager. I walked inside and nodded my head at the host of the restaurant section, and he walked me over to where I would be sitting for food and left to go get myself a diet cola. I sat down and stared out the window, remembering the last time I had been here, it was one hell of a night...I walked inside with Nicki and my dad, we were celebrating Nicki's eighteenth birthday, and my dad had driven us. My dad gave me forty bucks and said he was going to spend the night at the bar, that didn't surprise me."Have a nice night, kids, I'll see you at home, Jake.""See ya dad, let's grab some grub, Nicki," I said and we walked over to the restaurant section, we sat and I ordered a burger, she ordered a steak and potatoes. We talked about school, her search for her mate, and my personal life, we had always talked about our persona

    I woke up, not in hell, but in a dream which shocked me enough, because demons don't usually have dreams, they wake up in hell when they fall asleep, but what was weirder was that it was just me, and I was already in my altered form. I was on all fours, paws with fire for fur, and balls of fire for eyes, I was a hellhound. This was by far my favorite form to take, even if I only took it on rare occasions which is probably why I loved it because it hurt to shift into it, so I barked out into the night sky, feeling satisfaction over disturbing the creepy silence. I heard howling somewhere behind me, and I didn't want to stick around long enough to find out what it was, so I took off running towards the forest and got far enough in so that I couldn't hear the howling anymore. I walked to a small pool of water and started lapping up some water, that's when I heard the howling again, it was closer but still far away that it wasn't in the forest, so I let my curiosity take over and walked c

    When I woke up, Jack wasn't in our room and I was still wearing yesterday's clothes, so I got up and put on fresh jeans and a white v-neck, before throwing on my hoodie and heading out to get some grub. Jack was sitting with Jade and Nicki near the armory, with Miguel and Ashley half-listening in while working on moving the guns into storage, I was curious but I was more hungry. I put a skillet on the stove, cranked it to a 6, and cracked some eggs on it with two burgers, while they started cooking I grabbed a red onion and cut some slices for my sammich. Jack walked in and grabbed a soda from the fridge, passed me a Diet Coke, saw that I was cooking, and got excited."I want a sammich too, dude."" 'Don't beg' I believe were your exact words, were they not?""Fuck you! I'm hungry!""Make yourself a sammich then, just wait 'till I get out," I said and put some bread in the toaster, waiting for it to pop I called Nicki over while Jack waddled back to where Jade was sitting."Morning Ja

    "If you're in the area, I think I have an idea to have some fun ;)" I sent a text to Alex as we crossed the border into Arizona, we made a pitstop in New Mexico and had almost half of their police force chasing us. "PULL OVER NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO PRISON FOR A LONG TIME, BUDDY!!" The sheriff, I could only assume, yelled over the megaphone, I had two things I could do and both of them were fun, I just didn't know which one I wanted to do. "Hey, Jack, heads or tails?" "Heads, why?" He said and I turned around, flipped off the cops, before cupping my hands around my mouth like a megaphone. "NAH!! I WOULD RATHER NOT!" I yelled at the cops, they were still following us, so that didn't work. I felt my phone buzz in my jeans and pulled it out seeing that it was a call from Alex, so I held up one finger at the cops in a 'Hang on one-second sort of manner and answered the call. "You've reached Satan's parlor, this is Jake, how can I be of service?" "I can think of a few ways, but first tel

    Welp, the good news is that we got home in time, the bad news is that I forgot that Alex was there and I was not mentally prepared to answer any of my family's stupid questions."Jack~.""What?""Can you just teleport us up to our room? I'm way too tired to talk to anyone right now," I said and he started laughing, I was always the intimidating one until I got tired, that's when I got more emotional or random, it depended on the mood I was in."Yeah, come on let's get you inside, sir sleep a lot," he said and grabbed me by my shoulder, teleporting us up to our room, and giving me an opportunity to fall directly onto my bed. Even when I'm muffled I talk loud enough for people to understand what I'm saying, so I won't spare you the details of having to google a "Muffled bottom to English" translator, you probably wouldn't want that in your search history."Get me a Diet Coke, Jack?""Yes your highness, would you like anything else?""Yes, when you get back just lie down, your thighs are

    Jacke's POVAs I continued showing Pete around the basement, answering his questions as they came, I realized that I had come a long way since the times when I first placed these items here. If you had asked me a century ago if I would be willing to show this room to anyone outside my family, I would've choked you with your own hands for asking a stupid question. Yet, here I was, showing Pete these artifacts from my past as if I had known the man my whole life. We continued going through the room with many questions asked and answered, and finally arrived at the most recent artifacts I had stored down here."This is the sword that belonged to a nobleman I had killed a decade or so ago, he had a significant bounty on his head, and I was bored that day. I grabbed two of my family members, got in one of my trucks, and flew out to Europe; He had been abusing his money and political influence to further his ends, without any care in the world for how it had affected his 'subjects'," I said

    Jacke's POVI woke up the next day with Alex holding on to me with an iron grip, it looks like I wasn't getting out the easy way this morning. I grabbed her hand and kissed it trying to loosen her grip on me so I could stand up and start my day, but she wouldn't budge. With a little struggle, I turned around to look her in the face as she started waking up."Pup, it's early, go back to sleep," She groaned when she saw me looking up at her with a stupid-looking grin, I knew it was early in the morning but I had way too much energy to just sit still."I don't want to go back to sleep though, I have too much energy to sit still, Alex," I said as I wiggled around trying to get free, to no avail. She wouldn't let me go as easy as she did yesterday, even if it were so she could sleep in."You're not getting up anytime soon, you're going to sit here and accept my love, Nerd. Besides, it'll be more peaceful for food if we let the morning crew get their grub first," She said as I cuddle back i

    Alex's POVWe made our way back home hand-in-hand, cracking jokes and talking about what would change in Jacke's life now that he was my Luna. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but he needed to know that he would need to be more careful about his lifestyle; Acting more in the shadows and not trying to cause a scene everywhere he went. He took it shockingly well, going so far as to explain that it wouldn't be difficult to make those kinds of changes with the decades upon decades worth of resources he'd built up."It won't be a drastic change, from the sounds of it, it would just mean that I'd have to do less of the leg work and live a more peaceful life by your side," He said squeezing my hand, and I would've been lying if I said that my heart didn't skip a beat."What did I ever do to deserve you, Pup?""Do I need to make a list? I think the most potent reason would probably be that you exist," He said chuckling as we made our way up the trail back home. It took a lot of willpower to

    Jacke's POVAlex took hold of my hand as we left home to go out on a walk, and followed the trail leading to where we hoped to find Mallow still there. We walked hand in hand with my music playing on my phone, I was more or less pestering Alex into telling me what her 'surprise' was but she wouldn't budge. She insisted that she wasn't going to spoil the surprise no matter how many times I asked, and I took that as a personal challenge. So, I did what I do best, and tried to tease her with a small whimper, but that didn't do anything but make her smirk."You keep making those kinds of noises, and we'll see who's really in charge here, love," She said looking at me, smirking with a look on her face that screamed 'Test me'."You're lucky I love you, Alex," I said trying to ignore the blush that was creeping on my face. I don't know how she did this, taking the stone-cold attitude I usually had, only to cast that aside to reveal my shy side without any issues."You're right, I am quite lu

    Alex's POVI woke up later than I usually do to notice two things seemed off: One, Jacke wasn't in my bed, and Two, It was peaceful and quiet. With everything that was going on something smelled fishy, so I got up, got dressed, and left our room to head downstairs. Pete was in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee, so I grabbed one myself before taking a seat next to him."Morning, Alex, what's going on with you?""Have you seen Jacke? He wasn't in bed when I woke up," I asked before taking a sip of my coffee and trying to not let my nerves get the best of me."Jacke? Yeah, we had a conversation earlier about the speech before he left to go find Mason, I presume to have the same kind of conversation.""Fucking hell, have mercy on me I just woke up. Did the conversation at least go well with the two of you?""Oh yeah, I think it went phenomenally. He got straight to the point and was very kind, all-be-it concerned about having to give a speech to the pack as a whole. He told me about ho

    Jacke's POVThe following morning I woke up early, at the crack of dawn, and got out of bed as carefully as I could to not wake Alex up and let her sleep in. I left the room and walked out and downstairs into the kitchen to see it was empty, leaving me all the room to make some food. We split and Jake took a seat while I grabbed a carton of eggs from the fridge, an onion, and a roll of ground sausage. Browning the sausage in one pan while I diced the onion to make some breakfast burritos, Jake sat staring into space deep in thought."What's on your mind, Bud?""Just thinking about how we're going to go about talking to Pete, and Alex's Beta. Pete seems like a nice dude, but I don't know how I'd be able to play nice with Alex's old bully," He said before I handed him a drink, "Thank you. I mean, is it just me? I feel like it's almost a test for us not to just deck the guy after what he put her through.""Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you one hundred percent, however, t

    Jacke's POVWe descended the ladder into the cellar below with an empty jar, and once we got to the bottom Alex stood at the ladder to make sure no one else came in, while I made my way to the altar in the center. The ashes were still there in the pile that Lady Muerte had left them, and nothing had looked like it changed, but it was time for a change. I grabbed my knife from my coat and carefully moved the ashes from the alter into the jar, until there wasn't any left and twisted the lid on tight. I was going to take a trip later this week to the Gulf of Mexico and disperse the ashes into the water, symbolizing an end to our chapter of pain and suffering. That section of our life was over, and a new chapter was beginning to unfold before us, one with Alex by our side and a new family that was bigger and stronger than it had been before.I looked around the room and took in every last detail, from the chests full of coins we'd dug up over the years, to the racks of weaponry that we ne

    Jacke's POVTo say I was anxious as we walked through the doors to see some of Alex's family members there would be a massive understatement, I didn't think I would've been asked to talk with them this soon, but I suppose it was better now than later. One of them walked forward to shake my hand and pulled me into one hell of a bear hug."It's about time we met you, Lad," He said before letting go, giving me room to breathe after he squeezed the wind out of me, "Alex has spoken quite highly of you, and rightfully so it would seem, as we're building our new home here. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Pete, Alex's uncle and the one who more or less took her in after her parents passed.""Pete, I'm surprised you guys were waiting for us here, I thought we weren't to go through with the ceremony until later this week. You know, once we're done rebuilding and all?" Alex asked through a glare that would make most men shit themselves, but apparently, Uncle Pete had seen this glare before and

    Alex's POVWe walked out the front door and out to watch as our families were hard at work, building back from the remains of La Bruja's damages, and building our new home bigger and sturdier. Nicki and Jade were working with my Beta to build a library due east of the center of town, Jacke made a note that 'Preserving the knowledge and history of the past, helps us to build a better and brighter future' before we continued onward towards the front of the town. They built a large gate for people to come in and out of, with a walkway and a driveway for trucks and cars, and as we passed by many of my packmates waved hello."Hey guys, good to see you back in action!" I said as we passed by, Jacke waved as we made our way to the garage. We got in his truck with me at the wheel, and head off towards his warehouse, where he had said the remaining members of his family from the Necropolis were waiting. We drove through town and parked outside the warehouse before heading inside to see everyon
