Jack yelled into the phone without waiting for Mal to speak.

Mal didn’t flinch when he held the phone away from his ear. “Good Morning to you as well. What seems to be the problem?”

“Is Claire there with you?”

Glancing toward the hallway, he could still hear her snores. “Yes. She is still asleep. What’s going on?”

“The fucking rogues…A group of rogue vampires were at the lake house party last night. They ransacked Claire’s car.”

Mal’s grip tightened on his phone, almost snapping it in half. He composed himself while Jack continued.

“Thankfully, the police were there, so they couldn’t hurt any of the kids. They just watched. But damnit. They ransacked her car. The fuckers were so close, Malachy. If you hadn’t taken her in last night…” Jack didn’t hide the quiver in his voice. Mal didn’t want to think of what would happen if Claire hadn’t shown up in his backyard.

Trying to steer the subject away from Claire, Mal asked, “Have we heard from Alpha Miller lately about our guest?” Malac

  • The Vampire's Opal   I Have a Theory...

    Her mind went blank. “What the fuck are you talking about, Mal?” Se quickly pulled her hand away and stood up. She needed space away from him. The hurt was evident on his face that he didn’t want her to walk away, but she couldn’t think with him touching her.She stared straight into his eyes. “I need you to be very clear here, Mal. Your next words better not be ‘I killed your parents.’”Mal chuckled slightly, then placed her hands in his. “I did not kill your parents, Love. Rogue vampires did — that much of it is true.”She let out a deep sigh, waiting for him. “Well, that’s good.” Urging him to continue, she crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow.“I should start from the beginning, but please sit back down.” He patted the spot on the bed she had vacated. His eyes pleading, “Please, Claire.”She nodded her head, wrapped the blanket over her shoulders, and calmly took her seat. Her fingers fiddled with a loose thread for a few seconds before Mal’s hands held hers, stop

  • The Vampire's Opal   Home

    Everything was the same: same black leather couch, same wooden coffee table, same… everything. Taking a few hesitant steps further into the room, her hands grazed over the bar top, feeling each nick and crack on the surface. Her fingers found the watermark left on it when she was eight from her sweet tea. Jack complained about each time he washed the top, and she giggled remembering her father’s hysterics.She continued to pace around, making her way to the kitchen and dining room. So many memories swamped her brain. So many meals, conversations, and laughs happened in this room. She put a hand on her chest, trying to stabilize herself a bit. After a few deep breaths, she let go, and a few tears fell.It felt good to be home.She wandered aimlessly around the house, touching everything she could. Family photos still lined the hallway to Jack’s office and bedroom. Poking her head into the office, Claire inhaled deeply and found it still smelled like his cigars. She smiled and stepped aw

  • The Vampire's Opal   deCeiT

    Mal straightened where he stood. “What’s going on?”Deacon glanced at the bed where Claire clutched the bedspread to her chest, but Malachy stepped into his view, bringing his focus back to the task at hand. “Someone attacked us. Fuckers desecrated an abandoned building on the outskirts of the territory. I have my best warriors and trackers searching the area, but you need to get her out of here. Don’t tell me where, just go!”“What happened?” Claire wrapped herself in the blanket and stood to walk to Mal’s side. His arms instinctively pulled her closer. “Deacon. Tell me what happened.”Mal was proud of the commanding voice his little love projected to the alpha.Deacon didn’t hesitate as he kept his eye contact with her, which Mal respected given her current state. “Someone set fire to a building…but they left a message with the fire. ‘deCeiT’ was in flames.” Deacon lifted his phone screen to Claire’s face. Sure enough, a building was on fire with the word ‘deceit’ in flames on the ro

  • The Vampire's Opal   Impatient, Aren't We?

    Mal placed his right hand on the small of her back and grabbed her right hand with his left. Goosebumps erupted over her exposed skin, making her shiver. He pulled her so close to him, she was afraid to breathe. “What are you doing?” she whispered as she tried to put some distance between them. But steel arms held her in place. Panic gripped her. He shouldn’t be dancing with her, touching her, holding her this close.But he was.She quickly looked around them to see if anyone was watching; all eyes were looking at them.“Love. Look at me.” Mal gently grabbed her chin with his thumb and forefinger, lifting her head to meet his gaze. “Let them look. I think it’s about time we stepped out of the shadows. Don’t you?”She couldn’t contain her smile. All thoughts of wondering if anyone watched them evaporated as she stared into his deep brown eyes. Eyes that looked only at her. “Your Highness, are you saying what I think you are?” Her heart hammered in her chest. He couldn’t possibly think

  • The Vampire's Opal   May I Be Frank?

    “Claire Taylor. My, my, it’s great to see you. How have you been?” The portly man stepped in front of Claire before she could get to Malachy. Seeing Mal in his fitted tux, the wedding atmosphere, and the fact she hadn’t been in his arms in weeks, made Claire want nothing more than to run to him; to kiss him until neither one could stand it anymore. She knew it wasn’t an option until they dealt with Sloane. But talking with guests and making sure everything was running smoothly was part of her Maid of Honor duties. Or at least that was the excuse she’d use if anyone said anything.Not wanting to be rude, she smiled cordially. “Leader Allen, it’s good to see you as well. I hope you’re enjoying yourself.” She attempted to step away, but he once again stood in her path.“It would appear that being away from Jack and the rest of Crescent Moon has really helped you prosper. Being human suits you.” He took a drink of his wine, then smiled widely at her, completely unaware of the incredulous

  • The Vampire's Opal   I Now Pronounce You

    There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as both bride and groom recited their own vows. Thankfully, Jordyn somehow hid tissues in her dress, which she quickly handed one to Claire. Both women dabbed at their eyes, trying not to mess up their makeup. The ceremony was coming to a close after the exchange of the rings. Jack winked at Marian, making her giggle, because they knew which part was next. Claire wasn’t focusing on what Xavier was saying; she didn’t think anyone was anymore. Her favorite part of any wedding had always been the first kiss, even though most of the weddings she’s seen were in movies. It still counted, right?As if out of a movie, the sun began to set behind the altar. The glass windows magnified the deep orange hue as it reflected around the couple.On cue, Xavier spoke once more. “I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.”Not hesitating, Jack rushed to Marian, lifted her by the waist, spun her around and kissed her. The happy couple continued t
