I sank down onto his couch. All right. I've basically tricked and cheated my way onto the Vampire Council. But I've also exposed myself as a Vampire who has different abilities than other vamps. Different abilities equates to more power. Just politics, baby. That's why a Vamp like me would be a danger to the entire Vampire Nation.

And what about Tony? One minute he was acting all protective. Next minute he was going behind my back ensuring my subservience! He had a lot of nerve! He really was from the olden days if he thought it was okay to think for me because I was a woman he desired! I am so happy that I hadn't let it go any further than just a little touching ... well, and the bloodsucking … okay, and finger-fucking.

But as a Council member, did that mean that I could leave at will and not be hunted down? I had more power. Nobody could force me to kill and to be their mindless puppet. I didn't want to be like William, forced to go looking for other Thirds to offer up to the Counc

    I tilted his head the other way, exposing his unmarred skin. He brought his hands up to my waist and rested them above my hips. "Is that okay? You said before that I could."I didn't care because Paul was beginning to smell like food. My stomach had a strange empty feel to it. "Yeah," I said. My teeth dropped so quickly that it brought me back to myself a little. Careful, I thought. Don't rip the food ... I mean, Paul. I licked his neck with long strokes. I felt him shudder. With his head gripped in my hands it looked as if we were in a lovers' embrace. I closed my lips over his pulse and felt it flutter beneath my tongue. "Hmm, I groaned. He tasted so good. My teeth sank into his flesh. I felt Paul's hands tighten on my hips. His breath seemed to come out in a pleasured rush.I drew in the salty sweetness of him, but as soon as it hit my stomach, it revolted. There was a stabbing pain as if I was being impaled!I fell to my knees and screamed, and what had gone down came up i

    Paul went to the balcony and looked down. He hurried back to me. "Uh, there's a big guy down there..""That would be Tony. Close the balcony door!"But it was too late for that. Tony was already standing on the small balcony with Paul."Are you going to invite me in?" Tony said to Paul."No," Paul said.Tony smirked but didn't try to enter. "Just wondering." He turned his eyes on me through the opened door and gave me a stern look. "You've been busy."I crossed my arms across my chest. "What are you doing here?"I saw the muscles clench in his jaw, but when Tony spoke his voice was calm and even. "You have an initiation to attend. Or did you forget that you've been placed on the board of the Council?" He eyed Paul. "I see he's agreed to become your willing donor ... and more."Paul placed his hands in front of the bulge in his pants."How did you know I was here? I know I shielded."He frowned at me. "Mei Wah? He drove you home from this place last night."Oh, yeah."We nee

    "I'm sorry, Paul. But I need you to have my back when it's important." Paul calmed down and relaxed."I know you're pissed at me, but I need to know if you're going to feed me to the proverbial wolves when we get there."Tony looked bored. "Why ever would I be angry at you? I bring you into my home. Buy you a new wardrobe, protect your interests, alienate myself from the Council to do it, and on top of everything I tell you that I want you to be my woman and you go off and screw this human." Paul looked smug.I stared at Tony. "You're not mad about the crucifix? You're not mad about me crashing last night's initiation? You're pissed because you think I'm ... having sex with Paul?""Get this straight." Tony's finger pointed mere inches from my face. "I'm not pissed!" Tony turned on his heels. He was dressed in his usual black, .and as usual he looked absolutely delicious! Even pissed. "Let's go!" Tony growled. "It's a long drive that we have to make because of this human." We

    Tony placed his other hand on my cheek so that he was cradling my face. He drew back a little and looked at me."... You're making me crazy ..." I heard in my head. "... I'm not going to let anything happen to you, Kim. Even though you're driving me nuts."I nodded slightly. He kissed me again, but this time it was passionate. His mouth parted and his tongue entered me. I gasped. I opened my mouth and pushed at his tongue with mine. He sucked it into his mouth gently and slowly. My limbs started to weaken. I slid my tongue from between his grasp and back into my own mouth. He lightly lapped at my lip then moved back. He had lapped my lips …I was panting.Tony licked his lips then used his thumb to wipe away any traces of lipstick. I could barely move my eyes from the sight of Tony's lips. Damn. I'm stuck ...Paul cleared his throat. "Are we planning to sit here all night?" he snapped. I ran my tongue over my teeth. Back to normal.Mei Wah opened the door on Paul's side, an

    "Tony," I said, looking deeply into his eyes. "Thank you."He held out his arm, wrist up. Under much pressure I tried thinking ... food ... food, blood ... drop teeth. But within my mouth were only my normal teeth. Pressure. It was just too much pressure. I began to panic."Smell the blood beneath my skin ..." Tony's voice floated in my head. This was so embarrassing …I placed my lips against his wrist, and the scent of him wrapped around me. I had taken his blood once before, and my body recognized him as food. My teeth lowered sluggishly, but they lowered. Behind me I felt Paul sigh in relief.Mimicking Tony's move, I allowed my teeth to scratch and break his skin lightly. Tony watched me intently as I enclosed the wound with my lips. My tongue briefly lapped at the salty liquid—and I wanted more. I felt him brace himself, and that slight move caused me to lower his wrist reluctantly. Tony's eyes were tinged in gold now. I felt the goose pimples rise on my arms, and to my ho

    "Thank you Keada Borejka," I said, preferring to look at her rather than Jo-Jo. I walked past her still feeling a creepy shiver down my back.Next was Craggy Face. He was smiling at me, but somehow I didn't think he was offering me a greeting. His smile was more on the leering side. Oh please, let this end ...My wrist throbbed after Keada was through, and I didn't even want to know what the guy in the Hellraiser outfit was going to do to me.He politely offered me his arm, wrist turned out. Ugh. I didn't think he'd washed with soap in a long time. He still had that smirk on his face. These damned council members sure had a lot to learn about hospitality. No matter how unpleasant they were trying to be, I wasn't allowing them to intimidate me. I was a Council member, too.I nipped him sharply and felt him blow out a breath. It took a moment for the blood to bead up, but when it did, I barely tasted it. It could have been Cristal and I wouldn't have enjoyed the taste because he cree

    What she did was quite delicate. Her lips were light on my neck. The bite was swift and painless. I couldn't remember how the actual bite had felt with Tige, but what I did remember is the emotion that came with being bitten. I almost swooned. The pleasure that washed over me was instantaneous. I felt Kaniji suckling gently, and the sensation made me tighten down low in a way that I had never experienced with a woman. Behind this wave of pleasure, though, was a wave of panic far back in my mind.Kaniji placed her hand gently on my waist, the other on my shoulder, and she pressed her body against me.My body reacted to the touch. I wanted her to bite harder ..."Careful," Tony thought. "She is using the bite to seduce you." "I know, but it feels so good ..."Paul was thinking at me. "You like the way it feels, don't you?""Oh yes." My thoughts were becoming more distant. I could feel the pulse beating between my thighs …"Then remind her how we humans do it," Paul thought. "Tell

    The harder I tried not to weave on my feet the more I did. I felt and was acting as if I were totally drunk.Paul steadied me and raised his eyebrow in a question. "I'm fucked up." I hoped I was thinking and not speaking.His lips formed a big O.I looked at the Elder again. "What did you do to me?""Me? It was you that drank the blood from an Elder, but you taste as good to me as I did to you, Succubae.""Succubae? You mean those female sex demons? I'm a Vampire not a sex demon, right?""You are a bit of both, more so than the rest of us. Finish this tiresome ceremony, and I will show you what you will need to know."I focused my thoughts on Tony: "I need to finish this quickly.""Kim, I just can't believe you did that. Do you know how many people here have wanted to taste from an Elder ... just a taste? And Alexis allowed it ... Yes, we need to get you out of here before something else goes wrong. Have Paul follow you to the front of the table, although, after that show I d

    "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
