Urban Vampire Chapter 304
I couldn't find any fault with the house. When Alexis said that he had been re-modeling it for us, he must have had a twenty-man crew working day and night because everything was new and pristine. Chrome and white was the theme. The living room had three thrones instead of couches, each covered in white furs.I touched a chrome candleholder with my fingertip, half-expecting to be zapped. Nothing. Only then did I relax.We went upstairs where there were three bedroom suites. There were no windows in any of them, but King didn't seem to notice once he saw that his suite gave him his own television set, DVDs, books, and CD player.Alexis and I kissed him good night, and he was fast asleep a moment later. We lingered in the doorway."We're going to need to form a link with him," I said."We should do it now while he sleeps."Alexis took his delicate wrist, tracing the small veins visible just beneath the skin. He lowered his fangs, and a drop of saliva hit King's smooth brown skin a

"How would you get the Rectors to read your memories?" Tony asked."Once we're overseas," Alexis said, "we intend to announce King's existence to the Neratomay. The Rectors that sit in their throne rooms, content to have their essence move about in the world, will gather and want knowledge of how this was possible, knowledge of how this power can be shared with the Collective. One by one they will seek the information from our thoughts, and one by one they will be killed.""And then the Elders come for you," Tony said. "But your Golden army will take them out.""Yep, that's the plan," Ran said."No, not good." Tony said while shaking his head."Why?" I asked. "There are some holes, but that's why we're talking to you.""First, who is going to make this Golden army?" Tony asked. "You made Monica, and she is not Golden."Monica had been silently listening, surprising me that she had no input."A bite doesn't make you Golden," I said. "You're born that way. And we got a guy…and he

Paul frowned, his eyes taking in every inch of my child. "Hello," he said slowly. "How…how old are you?""Nine," King replied.Paul's teeth subtly began to clench. Ugh. Yeah, I'm sure he was thinking that I had been gone ten years and knocked up after one. He looked at me and raised his hands in a question. "What is this about?""It's about the Neratomay," I said.His frown deepened. I'm sure he wasn't expecting that response."King is here to tell you something that I can't tell you," I said. "Secrets that we learned while down in the Underworld."Paul looked at Ran, who nodded."Why would you tell me?" Paul asked."Because we want the same things," I said. "I want to live my life without fear. I want to raise my son without laws that might turn him into a slave for the Neratomay. I want to be free.""And you think any of that is what I want?" Paul asked coldly, his eyes narrowing."It used to be," I said softly.Paul stared at King. "He doesn't smell like Neratomay. But…he

"Bassma?" King called as he darted toward the house. "House" was a loose interpretation. Bassma's place resembled a treehouse, although there were three levels, the main one being on the ground.Bassma came running out of his place. He had transformed to a child again, just for our son. They hugged each other like true friends, and after so many years they truly were friends. Bassma seemed to enjoy reliving his childhood again with King."King!" Bassma shouted. "I thought you were gone for good!""I came back so that I could give everyone a proper goodbye," King said.Bassma smiled. "Thank you.""I want to tell you everything I saw," King said. "It's not like what you remember, Bassma. It's so much cooler."They talked and sat on the porch, swinging their legs as King told him about the things he had seen and the foods that he had eaten. Ran and Oni said they were going to find a fruit that only grew on Bassma's land. I suspected they were going off to make out.Alexis and I enj

Once I arrived at the park, I smelled several Wolves, including Paul. So he was going to watch and make sure that I didn't sneak my son around BJ. Ridiculous."Mommy!"I turned at the sound of my daughter's voice. My smile froze when I saw her holding her father's hand. Unbelievable. He actually had the nerve to show his goddamn face! I focused only on BJ and went down on one knee to catch her in my arms and shower her with kisses."Hi, Mommy!""Hi, baby.""Hey," Paul said.I nodded. "Hello." I held onto BJ's hand while she chattered."Look, I wanted to apologize about the other day," Paul said. "The way I acted was…inexcusable.""I appreciate you saying that," I replied evenly."Is…your son okay? I can't stop thinking about what I said in front of him. Kim, that's not me. I would never intentionally hurt a child—or you, for that matter. I'm very sorry."BJ pulled my hand. "Let's go see the ducks!"I looked down at her and smiled. "Okay. Come on. Show me the ducks." I look

I contacted Alexis about what I wanted to do. He wasn't happy about it but didn't object. A few moments later, I called King and brought him to me.King gave me a hug and then looked at Paul."Hi, King." Paul gave him a half smile."Hello," King said. I could tell he was uncomfortable."King, the last time you saw me I bet I sounded like a pretty grumpy person, huh?" Paul asked.King nodded after a momentary pause."I'm sorry about that," Paul said. "I took out my frustrations on you and your mom. I don't want you to think that I don't like you. Far from it." Paul glanced at me. "You happen to be related to one of the best people I know."King nodded and then looked at me."King, would you like to meet your sister?" Paul asked. "She's awake now and didn't get a chance to say goodbye to her mommy."King's eyes lit up. "Yeah! Mama, can I play with my sister?"I nodded and smiled. Paul could have waited until next time. There was lots to talk about, but he had shown me with this

Alexis had listened to the entire conversation between Paul and me through our link."We still go on with our plan for the Golden army," Alexis said. "We don't have to tell him everything. And you can guarantee that they won't tell us everything.""You mean in case we have to fight the Wolves, don't you?""Every plan has to have a contingency," he said."Okay," I said. I didn't trust the Wolfpack, but sadly I didn't completely trust Paul, either. The next day we received some bad news.Ran and Monica had been stymied by the Saudi Arabian Neratomay Council who were scrutinizing American Neratomay travelers. Well…maybe not all American Neratomay, but anyone who associated with me and my Council.They haven't looked into our heads yet, Ran said. But they will…Alexis told them to come home. We couldn't afford to start the war without us in the forefront.Alexis was then called by his Elder Council for a meeting. Although they were being cool about it, it had to be about Saudi Ar

The next night King and I flashed to the old Farmhouse that at one time was going to be my home away from home. I was uncomfortable even though the place was vacant. Sam hadn't been kidding when she said that the Pack had uprooted.I could smell the remnants of the Pack, but it was an old smell. They had been gone for a while, but that didn't mean that there weren't some here right now. I sensed less than a dozen, Paul among them.Paul waited for us in the living room. A long time ago I had confronted Sasha in this room, listening to her tell me how many times she had fucked my husband. Three months ago or ten years ago, that didn't matter. You never got over shit like that."Thanks for coming," Paul said. "Hey, King. I appreciate you talking to my Council." He gave my son a smile."Is my sister here?" King asked."Sorry, buddy. BJ is at home." He gestured to the door "I'll take you to the lodge. We'll be holding Council there. This is kind of an official thing.""Wait," I said.
