[Madison]
The test was successful! I created a recording I would share with Tommy while I was at the camp. I made sure I had everything I would want for a week in the camp and reiterated my instructions to everyone in the house before getting into the car with Anders and Aria.
Aria snuggled close to me for the entire ride. She was confused and upset. Maybe she was nervous about the camp, but I was certain about Nettleston’s death.
The shapeshifters seemed to be wary of her through the entire morning. They were polite, but d
[Madison]After the men seated themselves, I looked over at Anders and took his hand, placing our joined hands on the table while I held Aria’s below. We were the representatives of our people and we would present a united front against anything.Anders looked at the men. One of the trackers was an incubus and one was a shapeshifter, a tiger. I wondered if he was working on identifying the species. He had a lot of trouble with it. A concubus was more sensitive than an incubus, he should be able to tell.
[Madison]The men stood and went to the door. Anders, Aria and I followed them out. We headed toward a stairwell that went down under the camp. When we arrived on the lowest level, we followed twisting corridors until we came to a room being guarded by Tommy. I was relieved to see him. I wondered how I’d get to him otherwise.“Vasilia, Vasili.” He nodded.I walked over to him and took his hands in mine. I smiled as I used my tail to slip the recorder into his pants, making sure I stroked him w
[Madison]Aria was silent, but not trembling by the time we reached the house. I knew she felt like this was her fault. The flavor of fear filled the car.“Don’t be afraid, angel. I won’t let him take you.” I murmured and stroked her back.“If not for me, you wouldn’t have to deal with this. I should’ve gone with him. You were brave enough to be taken to protect your friends and family, but I was weak. I only hurt you.” Aria wept.
[Madison]Anders went to Drayce and knelt in front of him. “It’s okay, babe. We’re going to make sure he can’t make you do anything you don’t want to ever again.”“I didn’t think it was possible. My mother was one of the last full blooded dragons. He hunts down rare women to mate with. That’s why he must want Aria.” Drayce shuddered.“Vampires don’t have a deity. They gain power through mating. He’d probably paid the incubus to find and mate with sirens
[Anders]Most of the shifters were gone, getting things together for the move. The only ones remaining in the room were Drayce and Will. Madison and I were quietly discussing the myths that were true when working against vampires. She knew a lot and told me she’d dealt with a couple vampires in the past. I made sure to add my knowledge from living with one for most of my life.“How can we help?” Landry asked as she and Poppy entered the room.The whole room brightened when Poppy came in. I’d always thought
[Madison]I watched over Anders as he slept, and remembered my own naming. It felt like I spent years with Morrigan learning to use the abilities I’d been given. We walked green fields and bloodied battlegrounds. I learned all of the lore associated with my goddess.Morrigan promised to be with me as long as I always honored her properly. The coming war was to be my greatest tribute. It would cut the strings of fate of those who would harm the world.My mother had been so excited when a
[Madison]Over the next hour or so, I detailed my plans for preparing people for the upcoming fights. Small cats would be trained by Terra until an Alpha was found. Chris would take care of the larger cats until Rafe could arrive. Winston would train the bears and any other larger animals who didn’t have an alpha to train them.-‘We’re pulling up, Maddie!’ Serena said through our link.&l
[Aria]I was sitting on the ottoman watching everyone talk and get ready. I kept a careful eye on Jeremiah to see if he acted in a scary way, but he seemed pretty nice and polite. Serena, my sister, was talking with the succubae figuring out who was coming and who wasn’t so she could figure out feeding schedules and pairings. Gail told her Madison put her in charge of that.Celia, Terra, Winston, and Bryant were loading bags into the SUV and minivan in the drive way. When they came back, they started saying goodbye to the people who would stay behind. Trista quietly reminded Gail not
[Reggie]I sat in the tree tops and leaned forward, adjusting my braided bun. For three days, I’d been scouting the area. Lots of ex-trackers would come through here, but I would lose their scent. There had to be an entrance nearby and I intended to find it.A few minutes later, a tiger came through. I loved the rich scent of the large cats. There was more power to them than to almost any other shifter I’d seen. Using my tail, I lowered myself to the bottom branch. Quietly, I gripped it and gently dropped to the ground. The tiger paused and sniffed. He wouldn’t smell me, though.I found the urine of female animals in estrus, especially carnivores and omnivores, would completely conceal my scent. Of course, it led to me having to sleep in trees, but nothing could be done. Thank goodness, wolves can’t climb.

Reggie woke up with a pounding… everything. Her head hurt the worst. She rubbed her eyes and registered the dried blood on her hands. Where her teeth had grown back, her gums tingled and itched. At least she was unconscious for that part. She examined her limbs, broken joints had mended properly and most of the bones were straight. That was good. Trying to find someone to help her rebreak bones wouldn’t be easy. With gentle care, she ran her fingers over her mangled wings. They would take a lot more time to heal. Those bastards. She could still smell them and committed those scents to memory. Before she finished her mission, she would hunt them down and eat their hearts. Her poor, beautiful wings. She whimpered at the
[Ford]It was nearly May when Madison’s body began turning to dust. I came out to talk with her, like I did every morning, and saw her toes were flaking away. I wasn’t ready to lose her yet. A mournful howl raised in my throat and drew the attention of most of the compound.The council of alphas, the Helvegr, and everyone from the Vasili’s old house rushed to the clearing. We stood silently as we watched the tips of her fingers, toes, tail, and wings starting to turn to ash and float or fall away. Aria hugged me tight. Serena hid her face against Rao’s chest.
[3rd person]Paul was eager to see what they got when Heather and Buddy returned to the studio. His grin was huge when Heather told him about her interview. They would play it at the top of the six o’clock news. He had Buddy rip it to digital so they could post it online, too.The trackers and hunters would be on them pretty quick. He had a ticker stream set up so people would know where to watch it online if their feed got cut. The video would be posted as soon as Heather started her broadcast.Buddy took a seco
[Heather]Buddy adjusted the camera to account for Ford’s larger size and gave me a thumbs up. I turned to the camera to give my introduction.“I’m Heather Olsen reporting from an undisclosed location. Today, I’m speaking with Duncan Stanford. A supernatural previously known as ‘Fenrir’ and newly labelled as the ‘Ulric’ of the wolves. Thank you for speaking with me today.” I smiled.“No problem. You can call me Ford. I’ll answe
[Heather Olsen]I bounced in the seat of the RV my boss lent me and Buddy, my cameraman. When I’d pitched the idea of finding supernaturals to interview as they travelled to wherever it was they were headed, I hadn’t expected he would be so gung-ho about it.Paul told me not to reveal where they were headed and not to require an interview for anyone who needed a ride. He didn’t want to make us into targets for the resistance. I would never do that anyway.A lot of news stations tried to get interviews, but any s
On the way to the main house, I pointed out a few things. The training grounds for shifters, the gym, the barn that had been allotted as the training space for demons.There was a large greenhouse and some animals which were kept for food. I told him the shifters would go hunt in the woods for most of the meat we needed. There was also a river fed lake that appeared a week ago and seemed to be filled with large fresh water fish.We came in through the back door and I led him to the dining room. I couldn’t wait to introduce him to everyone. Serena was right by the door. Her smile turned to wide-eyed shock as she saw the mark on my shoulder.
[Adam]Drayce led me to the door and knocked. There was some shuffling and the door opened. A tall woman with glistening black hair stood framed in the doorway. She smiled warmly at the Pendragon.“Drayce, she’s gotten some drawers cleared for him. It’s a good thing he came. She needs a feeding soon.” She said.“This is Adam. Adam, this is Poppy, my mate partner. Come on, time to meet the girl you’ll be feeding.” Drayce told me as we entered the cotta
