Now they stood on the edges of the woods at the brick wall. They awaited confirmation that all the teams were in place. The beast was raging to be let out, but James kept him under control, preferring to wait until he let the beast free.
Lily opened and closed her fists with clear nervousness as she kept her eyes on the building before him and James would have given all he had to know what was going on in that head of hers. The crackle of the sheriff’s two-way radio came to life with the announcement that the last team was in place. He looked over to Lily, who nodded then to James. James gave a similar nod and Nick order for everyone to start the attack.

“Wow,” James said with a mocked dazed tone as he looked at the woman talking with the alpha.“Damn werewolves,” he heard Lily swear with an irritated tone and tried his best not to smile as he was sure his attempt to make her feel possessive if not a little jealous appeared to work. The woman was attractive, to say the least, but that she looked like she could kill him three times in ten seconds was a major drawback. Besides, whether Lily liked it or not, his attention belonged to her and her alone.By the look on the alpha’s face, Nick didn’t seem to mind that the woman next to him was potentially lethal. He looked ready to lay his life down. James watched as she and the nymph walk over to the woman and the alpha and he allowed himself a victory smile. He watched them talk and noticed there was something different about Lily since her visit with the Aequivaler

The beast took another step towards the alpha, extending his clawed fingers menacingly, not taking his golden eyes off of the werewolf before him. The alpha returned his powerful gaze with no apparent sign of fear. “I’m the alpha beast,” Nick started saying the words slowly and clearly, each word filled with authority. “You will do as I say and I say you back down now,” he ordered. The beast stood before him snarling, examining the alpha, looking for any hint of fear or uncertainty.The Alpha returned his growl, and the beast saw nothing but powerful authority coming from him, so he did as the werewolf told him and he backed off. “Good, now take these,” he said, tossing a small cloth bag at him. “Go around the corner and shift back to James. Your help is no longer needed, Beast,” he demanded. The beast growled at him again, not wanting to leave. He wanted to kill more people, but the alpha threw his influence over him, and the beast begrudgingly did as he was told.James breathed a si

Lily tensed as they came to a long corridor that ended with a large metal door with some kind of number pad to the right of it. Lily took out the piece of paper Jessie had given her and unfolded it. On it was elegant handwriting.You’ll find Xavier at the end of an extensive hall with a door locked by keypad combination. The code is 5711. Remember, you must confront him by yourself; no one else must come with you.Good Luck Lily,Queen HazarWith a quiet sigh, she walked up to the door, hitting the numbers the Queen had written, and the door slid open. “How the hell did you know the combination?” Nick demanded, looking at her suspiciously.“A little bird told me,” she stated after she shrugged.

Xavier’s arrogant expression told Lily he knew exactly what was going on in her head. What the hell am I doing? She scolded herself. “Screw yourself, Xavier, I will never help you. Not even with the bribe of getting rid of James,” she snapped at him.His face twisted into a furious rage. “Foolish woman, I don’t need to get your blood from you alive,” Xavier screamed at her, and one of the black metal doors opened. An enormous creature slowly entered the room; to say it was hideous was an understatement. It looked similar to James’ beast, but there were bald spots on him everywhere. Fur covered one arm and clawed while the other was smooth and more humanlike.“This is one of my many attempts to recreate what you are. As you can see, he is a clear failure, but he does serve for other purposes. He has proven to be qu

Lily changed out of her work clothes into more comfortable clothing, a t-shirt, and jeans. She ran her hands through her dark hair, just glad to feel it down and loose again after a long day at work. Grabbing her keys, Lily left her apartment and drove to her adoptive parents' house. They invited her to dinner tonight, and for once, school and work didn't stop her from accepting.As she pulled into the long driveway, a feeling of home washed over her. Lily smiled as the large, two-story ranch style house came into view. Andrew, her father, ran quite the profitable Architect company. Lily got out of the car and waved to her brother, Tony, once she parked the car and got out. Her brother was most likely the biggest heartthrob in town. He had the suave movie-star good looks, a muscular build, and an easy smile."How goes the life of busting crime?" He teased while that easy smile made an appearance."Oh you know, a lot of work and long hours," Lily said as she walked up the steps. "We've

"God, Lacy, why do you always fall for the cocky ones," Lily complained. Her tone was a false exasperated disapproval.Lacy smiled impishly. "Men are much more fun that way, and he's like a god under the sheets!" Lacy's expression turned dreamy and dazed off into her fantasies.Lily shuddered with disgust. That was way too much information than she wanted to know about Chris. "Earth to Lacy, earth to Lacy," Lily called to her friend, snapping her fingers in front of Lacy's face.The daydreaming blond blinked a couple of times. "Oh sorry," she apologized with a smile growing on her face.Lily shook her head. She's hopeless! Lily thought with another smile. "What did you want to tell me so badly?"Lacy looked confused for a moment then got all excited. "Oh yeah! You remember that kid that stayed with us for about a year, James Lacrosse?" Lacy asked.Lily thought for a moment then nodded with a slight frown. They had never met face to face, but Lily knew of him very well. James Lacrosse

Lily and Lacy gave him a sheepish apology. Lily handed her sister the journal, and they tried to hide their laughter. The older man just shook his head. "James, as much as I regret the manner in which you have met. This is my adopted daughter, Lily Nawassa," he said. He gave her another disapproving look. "Lily, this is James Lacrosse."James held out his hand, and his large hand swallowed her much smaller one. Like all werewolves, his body temperature ran warm, and she could feel that heat run up her arm. Lily swallowed nervously, her mind going over all the things she heard about him. "Nice to meet you," he said, still giving her odd looks."Same here," she replied, glad she sounded normal. Lily wondered just how much of the twisted tale of James Lacrosse was true."Later we have some matters to discuss with Lily," Andrew told her, and she nodded. Lily knew when Andrew Roberts said the words matters to discuss that meant they were to be discussed privately."Okay, sure thing," she s

"I hope we are wrong about this," the alpha said once the human had left."So do I, but I have a bad feeling," James told him. He leaned back into the comfortable chair. "The deaths of the other two kids. The near-kidnapping of that other one reminds me too much of what happened to me for comfort." Almost twenty years passed, but he could still feel the silver wire wrapped around his neck. The mocking, cruel voices of the humans that tied him down. James clenched his jaw, forcing the memory away."I agree, unfortunately. We have to find this bastard before he ruins another life," Andrew said as he slammed his fist with anger on the desk.James flinched, despite the fact, he was far superior in strength to the alpha. Andrew, like all alphas, had that alpha presence that commanded obedience. In some cases, if an alpha put enough of that presence in his or her voice, he could force his will on others. "I thought about talking to the kid and the friends of the other teens. See if I can ge

Lily found her strength wasn’t in firearms or anything that required aiming, as Karya so happily pointed out. She was much better at hand to hand, but after several tips, lectures, and scolding, Lily could now, at least, hit her target. Once it was fully dark, she returned to her room for another shower and a fresh change of clothes. She wore a tight black t-shirt and another pair of black leggings and a pair of boots. She had the weapons Jessie had given her strapped on her legs and waist.“Well, don’t you clean up well,” Crocell said with a smile when Lily joined them in the entranceway and Uriel nodded in agreement. “I hope Jessie could be of some help to you,” the queen told her. Lily thanked her for the help politely and Queen Hazar smiled at her warmly, then turned to Dorin. “Take care, my son; it’s been good to see you after so many years. I am proud to be your maker,” she told him and Lily eyed Dorin with surprise, but he bowed his head ever so slightly and thanked her.“Jessi

The room was huge, twice if not three times larger than her room in Andrew’s house. The bed was the showstopper, though; she couldn’t help but smile at the thought of sleeping with the most comfortable king size bed she had ever felt while James got stuck with his little hard lumpy hotel room bed. She snuggled into the bed even more with a content sigh; life at that moment was good.It was late morning when Lily had gotten up, showered, and dressed back into her ratty t-shirt and jeans, but feeling like a new person, she had the best night’s sleep in years! She sat on the bed, crossed legged, and dialed Greg’s number.“Lily, how are things?” Greg asked her once he picked up.“Actually good Greg, it’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do for a person,” s

“Now that we’re all introduced, won’t you please follow me,” The Queen offered, walking down a large hallway. Everyone followed Queen Hazar into a smaller room, larger than any room Andrew had in his house, though.There were bookcases and statues lining the walls with old paintings on the walls. Plush sofas and chairs littered the room with an enormous fireplace that housed an equally large fire on the wall in front of them. Large rugs lay on the floor with intricate designs that almost made Lily regret stepping on them.The snooty boy from earlier rushed up with a tray of extravagant crystal wine glasses filled with a variety of liquids. Everyone took a glass, and the queen turned to Lily. “Do you drink Lily?” She asked and indicated to the glass was full of blood. She wondered how the queen knew her name since it seemed ev

Lily drummed her fingers against the door of the car. They had been driving for an hour and she was bored. Bored and frustrated, she could be doing something so much more important than going to see some referee organization for the supernatural. Dorin turned to the left down a wide little street that went into the woods and after driving ten more minutes, Lily tensed as they come to a large black gate that crossed the street with four bulky men.Dorin got out of the car, speaking to one of them, looking perfectly friendly. She also noticed the dirty looks the men threw her way. She leaned against the headrest and frowned. “My list of fans just keeps growing,” she thought bitterly. The urge to hit something was growing.Dorin returned to the car, and they drove past the gate and she shot the men on her side with nasty looks. She huffed, crossing her
