He nodded. "Not too many should know. We will include your First Lieutenant as well as Monica.""Why do you think the Elders won't handle this appropriately? You and I know that we don't want a worldwide war. They have to know the same.""The Neratomay do not care about human life," Alexis said. "Before you, I did not either. Through you I have learned to care about much more. But not all of us have a human filter to think through."I hugged him. "Thank you for everything you've done and are doing."He stroked my hair and held me for a few moments before releasing me. "In this day and age, it would be impossible to conceal our battles and keep our identity secret. In the past, we have been able to hide our casualties by creating natural disasters and pandemic epidemics. But with videos and modern technology there will be no secreting our actions. People will see us for what we truly are. Especially if this is a war including all of the Supernaturals.""It wouldn't just be a war be

I shuddered as I thought about Alexis removing my mating mark and how I wanted to fight against it from happening. My neck still hurt, but so did ninety percent of my body. I nodded. "Let's do it." No use talking about it. I wanted it over with.Bernard placed his index finger against my temple.I prepared myself, tensing at the contact.Ran sat on the opposite side of the bed, preparing to hold me if needed. I felt good that he was there. I trusted that he wouldn't do something crazy if things went bad, like ripping out someone's throat to feed me…I felt a familiar buzz in my head. Oh no! It was the same insane bee buzzing sensation that the Elders gave me when they infiltrated my thoughts! It felt like a million flies in my ears. It made me want to run while slapping my head.I whimpered and remembered what I had learned from Paul. He had taught me to build a wall. It was with sadness that I built a mental wall, this time to separate myself from him.I imagined the wall going

When I returned from the bathroom, Bernard was gone and Ran was holding BJ, who was sucking on her binky and clutching him. He was walking around the room talking to her quietly, trying to comfort her. He was her protector, her Rannie, the reason that he hadn't killed himself after he had lost his one true love. They shared a special relationship. Ran knew more than most the pain of a severed bond.BJ's face was puffy from crying, but when she saw me, the binky fell from her mouth and she reached for me desperately. "Mommy!" She kicked and squirmed to get to me.I picked her up and held her to me, and she wrapped her arms around my neck and clung to me. I should have never listened to anyone tell me that I was too beat up for her to see. There had been too many changes in my daughter's life for her to be without both her Dad and me."It's okay, baby girl," I crooned. Feeling her weight in my arms and the smell of her baby shampoo soothed the shredded bits of my soul. I walked her ar

How had Paul handled the eradication of our bond? Was he still chasing me?"What can you tell about Paul's plans? Have there been any changes?""The situation is critical. We will secure your Angel of Death immediately, and tonight you must speak with the Council of the Elders. They have been patient, but that patience will not extend much longer." Alexis left the kitchen.I had Sam bring down a change of clothes for BJ. Sam looked exhausted, and I felt bad for depending on her so much. "Thank you for being nanny to BJ. I know that's not what you signed on to do.""Nonsense," Sam said. "BJ is my family and I wouldn't have anyone but me watching her." Sam smiled mischievously. "Mr. Wolf is getting along well with her, don't you think?""Yes, I trust him with her, and that's saying a lot.""I feel better knowing that he cares about her."I looked at her in confusion."Well, you know…because." Sam's cheeks turned crimson. "Well, you and Alexis…""There is no me and Alexis, Sam. I

I shook my head. "I had no idea about any of it. I still think that I can talk some sense into Paul."Alexis glanced at me, his brow drawn together in displeasure. I shut my mouth."Was it not Paul Kinninsky who is responsible for the condition that you are in now?" the woman asked."Well, indirectly…" Damn, I worried that I sounded like a woman about to tear up a restraining order. "We fought, but others were involved."The woman's expression grew cold. "But of course. Council woman, why do you think your husband failed to disclose his treachery to you?""Well…of course he knew that I could compromise his plan.""So, you are saying that you would not have gone along with this plan?"I frowned. "Of course not. I don't want a war."They looked at each other, talking silently.I turned and looked at Alexis, my mouth gaping open. Did these people think that I would be a party to something like that?Alexis didn't look happy but gave me a slight nod indicating that I should remai

My friends showed up bright in early the next morning, all except for Tyler who was afraid that Paul would be able to track her to our location.The Ladies and I hugged each other and cried. They touched my face in misery at the sight of my healing injuries. They cuddled BJ and gripped Sam as if she was one of their long-lost sisters. I tried to give them time to rest after their long flight, but they were too anxious to tell me about all they had been through with Paul and his Wolfpack."In the beginning he was reasonable," Karen said. Her normally pressed hair was in a curly mass around her head, and she had shadows beneath her eyes that marred her normally perfect milk chocolate complexion.Karen described how he had tracked each of them down, bursting into their homes with his security, and sniffing out their belongings for any evidence that they had been with BJ or me."At first, he called the house searching for you and we talked for nearly an hour. He kept beating himself up

I thought I was going to black out when I heard those words coming from my daughter's lips. I knew without a doubt that Paul was here somewhere on the grounds, but I couldn't sense him or even smell him. And then I remembered that I was no longer connected to him. He could be out of bounds but still close enough to pounce.When we reached the bottom of the stairs, I was elated to see Alexis' Elder Council was waiting for us. The cavalry had arrived!Ran, however, didn't look happy. He took a defensive posture in front of the Ladies, who were terrified. Alexis rushed forward, but my footsteps faltered."My security is being alerted to the possible presence of the beasts breaching the compound," Alexis said while holding his cellphone to his ear."No," Ferris said. "Your security has been made…indisposed."Alexis' face seemed to crumple when he realized the Council's treachery. Bernard hadn't sold us out, but the group that Alexis had served for decades had. Alexis was livid but qui

The sound of crashing waves awakened me. With a groan, I opened my eyes, squinting against the bright sunlight.BJ!I sat up quickly and looked around. The wet sand stuck to my legs and back. I jumped to my feet and looked around in desperation. A few yards away was a familiar beach house."Alexis!" I screamed. My eyes hurt as I searched the beach until I saw an unmoving figure on the rocks. I ran across the beach, and as I grew closer, I saw an unconscious man."Ran?"I crouched carefully beside him and patted his cheeks. He mumbled groggily and then his eyes flashed open. He had stubble on his usually clean-shaven face, and his lips were dry and cracked."Shit." He rubbed the back of his head. "What the…?" He looked around. "Where are we?"I shook my head, unsure of what to tell him. "We have to find Alexis."He stood on shaky legs. "I cracked my head…and I'm…thirsty." He seemed surprised at this, even more than waking up in daylight on a strange beach.I scanned the beach

"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
Urban Vampire Chapter 327
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
