"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.

    -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.

    I put in a CD of Disney's Frozen because no one got tired of those songs. I was singing and Julie was almost singing enthusiastically with me. Then I got a message from Tyler through our mental link.Kim. Are you at the house?Hey, Tyler. No, on my way home. Why? Is everything okay?We got some trouble in Northside."What kind of trouble?" I spoke out loud because Julie was confused that I had suddenly stopped singing…as if she wouldn't be confused that I was now having a random conversation out of thin air. But she was my child and become used to these things.We got a new resident in the safe house about a week ago. It was a woman from San Diego."California?"Yep, Tyler replied. "And why in the world do we have people from clear across the country at our safe house?"That's the issue. Through our mental connection, I could tell that Tyler seemed far from happy. We shouldn't have her in our safe house. It's creating one hell of a conflict because her Master just arrived to

    People got killed when security was breached. People sometimes got killed even when security wasn't breached. We took the safety of our residents very seriously.This particular building housed fourteen people—fifteen counting the female from California.Jason led the way up the walkway and pressed in the code to open the door for Tyler and me before he took up the rear. The entry points were manned by surveillance cameras, which fed to an off-site security firm. Inside was a 24-hour-a-day security guard.It hadn't always been this way, but I had learned the hard way that sometimes even the people you are working hard to protect will stab you and the other residents in the back. So now we take precautions.I didn't know the security guard. He was one of Voss' boys. He met us at the entrance and looked a little scared. He was a Vampire so I didn't blame him. No Vampire wanted to be in the same room with Tyler, but she stayed back and kept her tats covered by her leather jacket. Jaso

    I was surprised when I saw the woman sitting on the edge of a small love seat. I startled her so that she leaped to her feet with a soft squeak until she saw that it was me and not Bernard.I had expected a pretty, young woman that Bernard favored sexually or perhaps one who was a good moneymaker out on the streets. Instead, I saw an elderly woman who was probably much older than she looked—and she looked pretty damn old.But she was spry and moved with the speed of someone half her age. Judging by her wrinkles and white hair, I would put her in her seventies."My name is Kim, and I'm the Master who runs this safe house. Sorry to have scared you, but I have an angry Council member in the waiting room, and I need to know what's going on."She wrung her hands nervously but nodded and sounded calm when she spoke. "My name is Lydia. I ran away from Bernard four months ago. I tried to get as far away from him as I could. I heard about you. He and his liege mentioned…" She lowered her ey

    "I can't do the things that a young woman can do." She peeked at me from beneath long lashes. "You know—in the bedroom. I haven't had sex in many years. Bernard is true to me so that means he hasn't had sex in years. I don't ask this of him. I don't expect this, but it is his will.""Lydia, what do you think Bernard will do if you don't go home with him? Now that he knows that you are here, will he kill us all in order to get to you?""Yes," she said quickly. "He will kill you all. And I suppose that is my answer. I must return with him, and maybe I will have another opportunity to escape before I become too old or he turns me once and for all.""I can talk to him. Maybe he will listen to me. I'm not afraid of Bernard or his death threats. I have…well, I have someone similar in my life."She nodded. "Yes, because you too are gold."I stared at her in shock. "Gold. What do you know about being gold?""There is not much that I know about it. It's not a subject that is broached by t

    "I'm sorry," I said quickly, "I didn't mean to insinuate—"He held up his hand. "No. I understand. The bond makes it difficult to live without the one you are bound to. The torture of having her leave would have been too much for her frail human nature. It was never meant for humans so I broke it to prevent her physical torture."My eyes grew wide. What? Wait…Did he just say that he broke their bond? "A love bond can be broken?""Oh yes. Neratomay will form many bonds, but they weaken and eventually disappear if they haven't been fortified with contact or a blood pact. But when a blood pact has been performed—what you called a love bond—then it is necessary to do a bond dissolution. It's very difficult and very painful, although one party can take on all of the pain—as I did.""I never knew such a thing existed," I said in awe. "And what about other bonds; ones between a sire and progeny?""Most Neratomay don't have a need to break their bonds and so many wouldn't consider it. But

    "Are you ready, my love?" Alexis asked."I'm not sure," I said. "She's still so little."Alexis kissed the dark curls at the top of our daughter's head. "Tiye is strong enough to travel back to our realm. We've been here a year. Don't you miss home?""Yeah, but a year here is only like five minutes in the Above," I said."More like a few weeks," Alexis said. "The Ladies are anxious to meet their new niece."He gently lifted his sleeping daughter, tucking her blanket carefully around her body. She had just turned three months old and was as round and plump as a melon. Her thick, curly hair was sure to be as wild as mine was when I wasn't wearing the plaits that Oni put them in. She looked like us—my brown skin with Alexis' nose and Mona Lisa smile.Alexis had named her after an ancient Egyptian Queen who was the deity of light. Leave it to him to name his daughter after an angel and a queen.He carried her outside and stood on the porch staring out at a vast sea made by his own h

    Paul smiled and relaxed. I led him to the study where Alexis was waiting. Alexis nodded in greeting."Alexis, thanks for agreeing to this meeting," Paul said.Alexis gestured to a throne. "Please, have a seat."Paul looked at the throne and sat. "Mmm, comfy."Alexis moved the other two thrones to form a triangle, and we sat."We saw the gathering video," Paul said. "We didn't know we were being filmed," I said."I figured as much," Paul said. "But you made a good point when you said that one supernatural group cannot rule over another. My Werewolf Council has been meeting for the last few days. We don't want a war with the Neratomay.""And we do not want a war with the Werewolves," Alexis said.Paul nodded. "We have been in discussions with the Alliance of the Supernaturals, and I expressed King's beliefs that if we do not work together then we will all fall together.""That's right," I said."After a lot of negotiation, the Alliance would like to extend an offer for you to

    Ran continued. "We asked the Wolves to coordinate their attacks with ours, and that is all they agreed to do.""But what about the carnage that occurred in Epic Cu?" The Councilmember asked."Are you for real?" I asked in irritation. "There were hundreds of Rectors at that gathering! All it would have taken was for one of those Rectors to snap Alexis' neck before he could summon King to close the portal to the Underworld. We had to take out the Rectors and luckily the Alpha aided us or—well we wouldn't be here and you'd still be kissing the ass of your demon master!"Alexis put his hand on mine but Ignacio smiled in amusement. Will you be quiet! Cyrene snapped silently in my head.When has that ever happened? I snapped back.Ladies, Alexis interrupted. Now is not the time. My love, try to be more…diplomatic.Fine, I replied."We won that war by any means necessary," Alexis said, his voice annoyed. "We don't appreciate your line of questioning. Do you want to go back to the way

    The Neratomay flashed themselves away once they were outside of Epic Cut. The Supernaturals carried away their dead and injured, and what was left inside of Epic Cu was blood, gore, and ash. Paul left with his pack, and Ran, King, Alexis, and I flashed back to our villa where King fell in an exhausted asleep.Alexis and I watched him with pride. "It could have gone so much different," I whispered."No." Alexis continued to gaze at King's small sleeping form. "Not if we understand King's true potential—this is the way it was meant to be."It was time discover the fallout so we turned on the radio and television. Many countries were in a state of emergency based on what had happened over the last several hours. News outlets and radio stations made announcements that people should stay indoors because there were reports of wild, strange beast attacks. Videos of humans turning into Vampires and using impossible speed to attack the beasts clogged the Internet. Supposed experts in the s

    I moved from zombie to Wraith, pushing them through the portal and trying not to think about those they had possessed.The Wraiths will take you…Oni had said.I saw Alexis keeping King in the light flowing from the portal, but the portal had grown smaller.It was working!King was closing the portal to the Collective!As I zapped zombies and Wraiths, I noticed with surprise that the Supernaturals were fighting with the Neratomay to kill the zombies! When they ganged up and killed a zombie and the wraith left the zombie's body, I was able to zap the Wraith and send it back where it belonged."Aleawdat 'iilaa alealam alsuflii!" I chanted loudly along with King. Although I didn't understand the words, I could repeat them exactly.Then Ran, who still stood sentry beside me, began repeating the words. Alexis joined our chant, and that portal began shrinking even more.The larger Wraiths became bottlenecked trying to squeeze up and out of the shrinking portal. They were so freaking g

    I stared at the center of the pentagram where so much power was streaming through to seek out vessels, as if that power was a thinking, conniving being. It infused its targets with power so they could fight for it. And Alexis thought that my son should face that? My little boy?"Alexis, he's just a baby!""He is a demon!" he said sternly. "He only pretends to be a baby because that's what you need, Kim. You have to know that it has been many years since our son was a baby."The way King talked to the Wolf Council, the way he seemed to understood so much and so easily, the way he commanded attention whenever he spoke. I didn't want my child to fight this battle, but Alexis and King both knew this was what King was meant to do.Alexis released me and turned toward the pentagram. He raised his hand and began pulling power from the portal in the center, pulling so much that he glowed with the unnatural light that the energy emanated.Paul squinted and stepped in front of me, preventin

    Alexis raised his hand. "We learned the truth, secrets that have enslaved us all!" Alexis' nose began to bleed. He stumbled and swiped at the blood angrily and then raised it to show everyone. "Secrets that prevent me from speaking these truths. But you see! You see!"Ran glared out at the group. "We know, even if we can't speak it. But if you can read it in our heads, you will know this secret, too!"The pain was so sudden that I could not have taken a step. I couldn't even see! Buzzing filled my brain as instead of a dozen bees, hundreds of them seemed to fill my head. I had expected it and thought I was prepared, but there is no way to be prepared when someone is inside of you filling your brain to bursting!"Kim!" Paul shook me.I tried to open my eyes then realized they were open. I couldn't see!"Build your wall!" Paul shouted. "Build it now!"I tried to imagine the bricks—white bricks. White…but I could only see black vapors!Then Alexis was inside my head cutting through

    I smelled Alexis and Ran, but so had Paul. He was already heading toward them. When we finally met up, I dropped Paul's clothes on the ground before him. He changed quickly back to a man while I stared up at the castle where more Neratomay than ever attempted to enter Epic Cu."Once we're inside we cannot flash ourselves out," I said.Paul narrowed his eyes. "You'll be trapped inside?"Alexis frowned, but Ran and I nodded.Paul slipped his shirt over his head and peered at the castle. "We can blow this bitch up.""Blowing up Neratomay won't kill us," Alexis said. "Not unless our heads are severed or our hearts pierced.""Why does this castle remind me of Hogwarts?" Paul asked.I smiled. "That's what I thought!""How do we enter?" Paul asked. "That entrance is a hopeless bottleneck." "You could enter through the front door once we're inside," Alexis said, pointing at the opening four stories up. "That's how we exited."Paul licked his lips. "I can make that jump.""Not as a

    "You're behind this, aren't you? Somehow—"His head exploded. I flinched at the spray of gore. When it turned to ash, I brushed it off me."Which one of you did that?" I asked."He searched my head," Alexis replied."Well, warn a sister next time," I said.Then I felt a loud buzz in my head, and across the room another Elder's head exploded.This created more bedlam and screaming from Council members who flashed themselves away or who sought the aid of another Elder."Do you feel that?" Ran asked."I don't feel anything because these people are screaming and hollering so loudly," I said.They were the most cowardly individuals I had ever seen. These powerful Vampires sat here crying like wusses! The very Council members and Elders who had tortured and murdered other lower level Neratomay could only hide and cry when they met a foe they couldn't overpower. They were the very definition of bullies!Ran turned to me. "It's Paul.""Paul? How…?""I can still hear him from my tim
