Xavier motioned for Jack to stand. A father stood up, looked at his daughter, beaming with pride. “Sweetheart. The Council is giving you an amazing opportunity. You can stay with us. Me, your brother, and sister.” Jack’s hand found hers and squeezed. “To help train future Guardians.. Given that you are human, we will have to take extra precautions to keep you safe and out of harm’s way. You’ll never be out in the field. Or...” Jack’s eyes welled with tears. Priestess Ramona stood up, “Or sweet child. You can continue to live as a human, among other humans. But you will no longer be a part of the Mythical community. You’ll give up all that you have known, everything you love. To be a normal human. Without fear of rogues. Without anyone here, including your family.” She gingerly lifted Claire’s face as the tears fell.“So, if I choose to be a normal human, whatever that means, I won’t be able to be with or see my family again?” Her eyes met the leader of the lone dragon, who had a gr
The Vampire's Opal My Decision...
Don’t be a damsel in distress. *PUNCH* Don’t let them see you cry. *PUNCH* Stick to your guns. *KICK* Fuck Malachy and that bitch, Mirabella. * PUNCH *PUNCH *PUNCH Fuck everyone! *KICK *KICK *KICK *KICK *KICK* Claire’s thrusted her knee into the punching bag over and over and over, holding on to it as she made contact. Her mind still racing since her conversation with Mal. She thought the tears would never end, but here she was beating the shit out of a punching bag, stalling until she had to deliver her decision to The Council. Assholes. A few people stepped into the gym to workout, but one look from Claire sent them running. No one dared to enter the room while she was there. A few of the omega wolves were staring through a window when a tall shadow enveloped them. “Ahem. You boys should probably run away now.” They scurried off down the hall without looking back at the vampire, who scared them. Zach stepped into the gym in awe of his baby sister. “You know, it helps to have
The Vampire's Opal Acceptance
Mal couldn’t believe it. She was going to leave them, leave him.“I will no longer train to be a Guardian. I choose to have a normal human life, away from the Mythical community.” Her words replayed in his head as his mouth fell open. The small crowd of Mythicals were whispering about themselves, as confusion spanned the room. Claire looked confident in her decision as she glanced at each of her family and friends. Her eyes beaming with love.“We, the Council, accept…” Council Nathanial spoke, as Jack stood up, effectively interrupting the acceptance.“Wait one minute, Council. If Claire is choosing to leave our community, then I will leave with her. As her father, it is my duty to protect her and I will not let her go out into the world without me.” He beamed with pride as he looked down at his daughter. “And I will go with them as well.” Marian walked behind the father-daughter duo, placing her arms around their chairs. Jack smiled as he grabbed her hand, kissing the back of it,
The Vampire's Opal Soon, Malachy
“Quinn, huh?” Claire threw her pillow at Sean since they hid in her room. She needed to be away from all the judging eyes and everyone needing to give their two cents about her decision. She’d had enough of The Council and their ultimatums.“Yeah. I felt it hit the other night while we were all hanging out. I never thought it would happen, but it did. She’s it for me. She’s my mate.” A huge smile spread across his lips and it was contagious, causing Claire to smile as she looked at this massive wolf turn into a lovesick puppy while talking about Quinn. “You are both incredibly lucky to have found one another...so when are you going to ask her out?” Claire asked.“That’s a bit complicated.” A knock at the door brought their conversation to a halt. They both looked at each other, then the door before Sean stepped up to answer the door. His shoulders squared as he opened it to a deep breathing Malachy.A growl escaped through clenched teeth as he addressed their guest. “You have some ba
The Vampire's Opal We'll Get to You
The cries were unbearable. The entire house was in an uproar because for the umpteenth time that weekend, the Lockwood’s latest additions, Jillian and Julian, were crying in their cribs. Claire managed to get one asleep, but then the other would cry, waking the other twin up. She was about to give up hope when she put both babies together in the same crib. Five minutes later, both were fast asleep, cuddling one another.She softly closed the nursery door and turned to meet the thankful eyes of Marian’s sister and the Luna of the Lockwood Pack, Jordyn.“How did you get both of them asleep? We’ve been trying for weeks!” she asked, impressed.Claire shrugged her shoulders, “When you felt bad when you were little and your mom wasn’t around, who did you turn to? I always think of my siblings, Steph and Zach. So why wouldn’t the babies?” Claire placed a hand on the Luna’s shoulders, directing her down the hall. “Come on now. You asked for some help with the babies, so I’m here to help. Go r
The Vampire's Opal Council Meeting
The conference room held a small group of wolves and one lone vampire as they sat around a small walnut table. One by one, the screens along the far wall clicked on. The rag-tag bunch of Mythicals definitely looked worse for wear. Everyone but Marian and Jack had minor cuts, bruises, and stitches that were already healing. The Alpha, Beta, and Gamma nursed their wounds, heads in their hands, when a small cough caught their attention.“Ahem. If you all are ready, would you mind explaining what in the fuck happened?” Leader Xavier was fuming. His eyes turned black as he looked to the Lockwoods for answers. Alpha Matt glared back at the screens. “We were attacked. Rogue wolves and vamps showed up. They hit our armory first, then took out the security towers before they went straight to the bunkers at the packhouse. Thankfully, they didn’t find the bunker, but they took on the Luna, MY LUNA, and went after my pups! They are lucky we didn’t find any of them alive.” His fists clinched, tur
The Vampire's Opal The Red Envelope
“Hello, summer! Here we come! Mark my words, this will be epic!” Quinn screamed while bursting into the living room. She dropped her backpack next to the couch before pouncing on Claire, who was napping on the couch. “Ooooompffff. What the fuck, Quinn? Some warning next time would be nice.” Quinn rolled off of her and plopped on the floor. “What’s got your panties in a bunch? We’re supposed to go to the mall.” Her voice changed to one of concern when she saw her friend’s face.Claire’s eyes focused on the bright red envelope sitting on the coffee table. Quinn noticed and dove for it. “What the fuck is this? From Malachy.” Her eyes grew three times their size as she shouted. “THE Malachy??” With a shaky breath, Claire nodded her head in agreement. “I think it’s his wedding invitation…” “WHAAAAT????!!!” Quinn’s voice seemed to echo in the house. “You were messing around with an engaged man? Claire, what in the actual fuck?!” Claire clapped a hand over Quinn’s ridiculously loud mout
The Vampire's Opal Baby Steps
Marian loaded the bags into the back seat of her sedan.“Just don’t go crazy. No parties. No boys. No booze. In any form, in any order, and especially not together.” Jack pointed at a finger at his daughter, Sean and Steph.The teens all nodded their heads in agreement. “Yes, sir.”“Scouts’ honor, sir.” Steph held up three fingers on her right hand. “You were never a girl scout…” Claire stated with a questioning look.“I was a brownie for like four months when I was like 7. Once a brownie, always a brownie.” Steph cooed with a shrug of her shoulders. This caused everyone to burst into laughter.“Don’t worry Pops. You’ll be back before you know it. Tell everyone we said hi and you two enjoy Spain. I’m sure it’ll be lovely.” Claire hugged her father before he and Marian got into the car to leave for the wedding. They agreed to leave a few days early to enjoy themselves before the celebration began. Everyone stood on the front porch as they waved goodbye, watching until the car disappea
