The Pack's Dragon Leaving the Bunker
Rideten, Present TimeChoosing the church as the base for the bunker had many disadvantages Aislen learned as Victor and his council went on to discuss how to mobilize their army without exposing their location to the Van Helsings above. The peaceful occupation of Rideten meant that their vehicles would immediately attract attention and panic.It was decided that teams of soldiers would exit through the various backup locations, such as the house that they had brought Aislen, Rhett, Phillip, and Stella through, and obtain their vehicles before making their way in stealth to Trayrock. Once in position within the town, they would contact the local werewolf pack and army, and co-ordinate a fast and hard attack aimed at driving the Van Helsings out.Aislen and her mates, would return first to Havermouth, and then travel to Trayrock in the wake of the battle with the reporters.“If they’re ignoring Tabitha Marie and putting it forward as a hoax, how are we going to get them to come with us
The Pack's Dragon Talen Learns About Harry and Jules
Rideten, Present TimeWalking through the Van Helsings with Heath and Cameron whilst keeping an eye on Rhett and Morgana as they entered the house behind Phillip and Stella had Talen’s nerves on edge. What the fuck were the fool werewolves playing at inviting his mates to a meeting directly across the road from a Van Helsing headquarters? That people often overlooked that which was directly under their noses was a sound theory, but this was taking it too far.They must have experienced one of those moments of bad luck, he decided, and built their bunker, only to have the Van Helsings move into the same neighbourhood. It would cause issues with Morgana’s hopes of using the Rideten army to rally the other branches if mobilizing the army would expose the werewolves’ stronghold.However, that was a problem for the future, and he had more immediate demands for his attention. He led his mates around the block until they reached the house directly behind the one into which Morgana and Rhett
The Pack's Dragon The Hand
Havermouth, Present TimeMeguitte set the phone down. It had not been an easy call to make. She knew that the weight of guilt on Talen’s shoulders would be heavy, and he had already been so weary. He had not said whether he would tell Cameron or not. She had not asked the question knowing that he probably had not decided for himself, though his question about the security of Havermouth made it clear that he had understood what she was suggesting.She looked down at the man before her and stroked his hair back from his face tenderly. Such a handsome man, she thought. Harry’s blood had been reversing the effects of age, and Jules Edison looked no older than his son, his thick ash-brown hair free of silver and his skin uncreased by time and exposure.“I am sorry that your eternity with Harry was cut short,” she told Jules softly.“What did Talen say?” Connery entered the room and placed his hands on her shoulders, the contrast of the heat of his palms to the chill of the air divine. “Ah,
The Pack's Dragon Secrets, Secrets, and more Secrets
Rideten, Present TimeAislen found Rhett on a porch swing around the side of the house, looking out into the garden and watching Cameron, who was up a ladder helping the witches to tie shiny strips onto the branches. As Aislen approached, Rhett blew out his breath of smoke and stubbed his cigarette out into an ashtray, waving his hands in front of his face to disperse the cloud that lingered.“Sorry,” he said. “I’m smoking too much at the moment. I know it. Usually, I just sneak a bit here and there, or hide in my car to have a joint. But…”“I get it,” she sat next to him and leaned against his side. He lifted his arm and put it around her. “Everything you used to do to alleviate stress has been taken away in this change to vampire, and now smoking is the only thing you have left.”“You’re reading my mind,” he said softly. “And it’s not the only thing,” he added with a hint of wickedness. “I can still fuck my little heart out.”“Just not as much,” she pointed out. “Because we’re cramm
The Pack's Dragon Heath’s Conversation With Stella
Rideten, Present TimeHeath hated the witch’s house he decided as he wandered the rooms, threading his way past smiling helpful people who inevitably extended invites to join them in whatever activity they were doing. He declined a yoga session, shelling peas, and another group that he just wasn’t even sure what they were up to. There were simply too many people, and everything they did was… weird.Phillip had run them through what had happened at the pack meeting, and whilst Aislen hadn’t disputed the lawyer’s efficient summary, she had slid frowns at Stella, which had left Heath wondering what the witch had done to annoy her.Nothing about what Phillip had described had surprised Heath. It was typical pack behavior that a lead alpha would not surrender his power lightly, or at all. If Victor had not put on a show before agreeing to assist Aislen and Havermouth with the river towns, Heath would have been more surprised. He agreed with Phillip – Victor had handled the situation with c
The Pack's Dragon Rhett’s Reservations
Rideten, Present TimeThere was no sign of Heath when Rhett went up to the bedroom. There was a fresh arrangement of flowers on the desk and the bed had been made, and that set Rhett’s teeth on edge. The witches didn’t understand werewolves he thought in annoyance as he threw the suitcases onto the bed. Strangers weren’t welcome into a den, and although their stay was temporary, while they were using a room, it was their den.“Whatever,” he began opening the drawers. He could smell strangers on the clothing as he pulled it out and shoved it into the suitcases. Someone had been through the drawers, refolding the clothing inside. Ignore it, he told himself. Witches were just humans who studied magic, they did weird human things and probably thought that they were helping out.“Going somewhere?” Phillip stood in the doorway of the room.Rhett looked up. “What’s it to you?”“You are always so hostile, Rhett,” Phillip said disapprovingly. “How many times do I have to say that I’m not your
The Pack's Dragon Reconnecting
Rideten, Present TimeThe house was exactly as Talen had advertised it. Modest, neutral, and functionally modern. On the ground floor, there was a laundry room, a sleek galley-style kitchen, a dining room, a lounge, and a small powder room. Up the stairs, there were three bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms.“Now we’re talking,” Rhett declared as he discovered the master bedroom. Over his shoulder, Aislen saw that the bed was a massive, steel-framed construction very similar to that Talen had installed in her bedroom. “The puppy is going to go weak at the knees,” he threw himself back onto the bed and patted the mattress beside him so that Aislen joined him.For a moment they lay, looking up at the rails and fixing points over head.“Who do you think he fucked here?” Rhett wondered.Aislen turned her head to look at him. “What do you mean?”“I mean, a man doesn’t install a kinky bed into his safe houses unless he uses it regularly. Who do you think he was fucking before us?” Rhett w
The Pack's Dragon Altars and Announcements
Rideten, Present Time“No.” Heath stared at Talen open mouthed. “No.”“I’m very sorry Heath,” Talen put his hand on his shoulder. “But I am sure that you understand that we cannot let Cameron know until after Trayrock. And how the werewolf ceremony is especially important now. We need to tie our family together in order to provide Cameron with a solid support when the grief hits.”“Fuck,” Heath’s knees sagged, and he braced a palm on the kitchen bench.“Heath…” Talen caught his elbow and guided him onto one of the bench seats. “I’m very sorry. This is a shock, I know.”“Jules was…” Heath was numb with shock. “He was the one good father we had between the three of us. In a way…” He fought for the words. “In a way he was the proof.”“The proof?” Talen sat next to him and placed his hand on Heath’s back, rubbing up and down soothingly.“That we could be good parents,” Heath explained hoarsely. “I mean… Cameron at least had a decent upbringing. His parents loved him. Catherine was just… s
