He looked at Paul, and there was a hint of worry in Ran's eyes. "I'm not sure that I can do this. I want to …" He looked at me apologetically. "I want to eat her."Paul rolled his eyes. "Stand in line."I scowled at him."No really," Ran said anxiously. "I feel the vampire in her, and I want to damage it."Paul placed his hand on Ran's shoulder. "Stand down," he growled. Ran's anxiety began to fade. "Better?" Paul asked.Ran nodded in obvious relief. "Yes. Much." He looked at me apologetically. "I'm sorry, Kim. This is not as easy as one would think."I nodded in understanding. "Believe me, I know. But other than a desire to shred me to pieces, how do you feel?"He smiled. "Pretty damn good."The other members began to arrive. Frank eyed Ran with open hunger as Cyrene and Kaniji arrived together, which was still as curious as ever. Then Monica arrived and not surprisingly, Alexis was with her. Last to arrive was Tony. He made a point of ignoring Monica as he stood quietly b

We were missing something big here.Paul said that by the next full moon they expected to have the one hundred and ninety-six able bodies, which included Paul, Jason, and Tyler. "We could use a few months to gain control of the wolf," Paul said. "However, the army will be complete by the next full moon. I suggest that Malarias be made aware of our existence.""So soon?" Frank gestured to Ran. "You can barely control that one.""Just keep in mind that we are not targeting vampires but rogue werewolves," Paul said. "As long as you're not in the way, we don't need to control ourselves around you.""But," Frank whined, "I thought the wolves would be like our bodyguards.""That is what you're going to tell the Council," Paul said. "The Elders need to know that the Wolf Pack was created for the purpose of protecting the vampires in our sector. That's all you need to know. We have an agreement to create werewolves for the purpose of protecting the vampires that are in your territories.

I nodded because it would have to be. He kissed me again. "I'm sorry, honey.""Why doesn't Alexis bother my wolf?" Ran asked when Alexis had finished buttoning his shirt.Alexis offered the answer. "Because I have already proven that I'm not interested in dominating you. I have let you guide me when it comes to living in your home and dining on your donors."Paul seemed to consider his words and shrugged as if the explanation was as good as any.Ran stood on shaky legs. "Then I would prefer not to return to the compound. I'd prefer my own home, and Alexis can accompany me just as before."I began to really wonder if Ran enjoyed Alexis' company … or maybe he just wanted to keep an eye on his body. If the tables were turned, I'd do the same thing.Paul looked at Alexis and nodded his agreement, seeming to come to the determination that Alexis was fully capable of taking care of himself.Alexis and Ran went out the door, and before Paul could follow, I stopped him. "Now is as goo

I went upstairs and waited for Paul's arrival. I heard his motorcycle five minutes before I saw it. He smiled at me as if he had had no doubt in the world that his plan would be a success. We returned to the lower level arm-in-arm. It wasn't long afterwards that the room began to fill with several vampires, very old vampires. The atmosphere seemed to change with their arrival. It was as if they filled the world with too much other-worldly matter, as if they brought a piece of limbo over with them. I didn't like the feeling because it was foreign and empty—much like the soul of the average vampire."Alexis," a male Elder said. He stared without emotion at Alexis, who now stood in front of the Council table. The man looked rather young although his skin was ivory. His hair was like a black bowl crowning his skull, and his blank, black eyes made him look like a Roman extraterrestrial. "Faris," Alexis said. "Will you ever learn?" Faris asked."Learn when there is no lesson to be

"I might surprise you," Paul said."Your only importance lies in your usefulness, Alpha. If you do not wish to be useful, then you and your wolves will cease to exist.""The Neratomay does not control the Wolves," Paul said. "You don't give me orders. But if you make a request … then I might honor it."The Ran-thing seemed to be at a loss for words. It regarded Paul, no doubt taking in his fearless stance. In the blink of an eye, the Ran-thing transformed into something formed of smoke and fire, and it gripped Paul by the throat. It didn't look like Ran any longer, yet it still had a recognizable human quality. Its teeth were real enough and so were the eyes that resembled red hot coals. I reached out to push it away from my husband, but my hands went through it. Where was Ran's body?"You think yourself stronger than us, werewolf?""Smarter," Paul growled, his face turning red with the strain of having his neck gripped by a demon fist. "Because now you just lost your allies."

"But—"Malarias began."Omegas have no Alpha," Paul interrupted. "I don't control them. They do what they want. It just so happens that they want what I want. I am their creator, after all. You always love the one who sires you … "Malarias grew quiet, and I grew even more hopeful. "Call the other members of your Council so we can make this a reality," Paul said. "We'll wait." He glanced at the other vampires in the room. "Though if you wait too late, some members of this vampire Council will learn one big secret, and that will be completely your fault for keeping them here past dawn."The Malarias-thing sagged, but seven more black ribbons of mist appeared and swept around the Malarias-thing like a shroud. Oh, what I wouldn't give to be able to hear that discussion.They circled Alexis and attempted to circle Paul, but he swept his hand out and waved them away as if clearing the air of annoying smoke. For some reason I felt a giddy, hysterical laughter bubbling up through me. Wi

I nudged Paul. This was a great step, and he was flexing his muscles!Paul rolled his eyes. "Baby, can you let me just have my moment?"I raised my hand and left them. I walked over to the rest of the Council. "I cannot believe the wolf's plan worked," Cyrene said. "Yeah, now you and Kaniji don't have to go through with whatever plan you had cooked up," I said.Kaniji's face darkened and I knew that I had guessed right. Whatever they had planned would not have been good for me, and that was a certainty."Kim," Monica said. "I would like to talk to you when … things have calmed."I studied her face, searching her expression, which revealed nothing. "I can arrange to meet you at the Manor tomorrow evening."She nodded and then vanished.I met Tony's eyes and he shrugged. He headed to Paul and Alexis, and I stood back and watched the three men, who at times had been my lovers, my protection, my food, and my friends. They talked. They were actually talking.I smiled. One choc
Urban Vampire Chapter 205
-The Final Battle-I forced myself to rise in the late afternoon instead of full dark. Paul had already left to see after the Wolfpack and since other Vampires didn't rise until the sun had fully set, I had a jump on the day. I decided to spend it with my daughter.Unless I was off handling some Vampire mission, my daughter was constantly with me. I had a few hours of daytime and BJ was in a good mood, so I decided it would be a good time to take care of some grocery shopping. I did most of my shopping online, although the girls and I did enjoy overnight excursions to New York, Miami, or Los Angeles. But if I only needed applesauce and diapers, I drove to the nearest grocery store.I put on big sunglasses and a cap because it was still daylight and I didn't want anyone to recognize me. And by that, I mean that I didn't want one of the humans from any nearby territories to see me walking around in the sun. Revealing to the mass of Vampires that I was a day walker was still a no-no.
