~Rowan’s Point of View~

“What do you mean he’s gone,” I question, annoyed with the female standing in front of me.

“I don’t know, his entire family left earlier today. Like their house is empty. Nobody at Dark Thunder knows anything,” she says, shrugging. I make a face, but pass her the wad of cash in my hand anyhow. I can’t take my anger out on some random she-wolf but right now my temper doesn’t understand that.

I quickly teleport back to the bar, not knowing where else to go. I’ve lost Otis and now Luke. It isn’t acceptable.

When I catch a floral scent near one of the doors that’s barely still attached to the ruined building, I follow it. It hadn’t been there the other night, but then again there were a hundred scents. Once inside I find there’s a table still in good shape, virtually untouched from the fire. It sits right in the middle of the rubble and it’s got a sheet of paper on it.

“You can’t have me Caden, not now, not ever. Go fuck yourself.”

I burst out laughing at the word

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~I nod at Jett as he again follows me to class. French class, no less. I stop in the doorway and see Luke’s seat empty, and it just hurts all over again. The note of my nightmares still sits on the floor, half under my bed. I peeked at it poking out last night a hundred times but I couldn’t bring myself to read it. Finally, I cried myself to sleep and today my face more than shows it. “Awe lover boy left you finally? He didn’t want a fat beached whale knocked up by someone else huh? You look like shit. Good luck getting a male now,” Gigi states, passing me as she stares up and down my body.I have no energy for her today, and the fact that she still doesn’t know who the father of my baby is. It absolutely pisses her off not to know, and that gives me a small bit of satisfaction. No one outside of the Shadows, Skip, Caden and Luke knows I was assaulted. I can only pray it stays that way. For all anyone else knows I had a one night stand.“You look like a $2 who

    ~Tate’s Point of View~“I don’t know if he ever saw me. All I know is I never met anyone matching Anna’s description of Caden,” I say, running my hand over my chin with great irritation.“We need someone undercover at this auction. Last count we’ve got over two dozen dead or missing males and a dozen missing females. That’s just what’s been reported… rogues rarely are unfortunately. I’m going to bet that’s where the females will be, the rest is still up in the air. At least I’ve never seen males in these types of things,” Shane snaps, falling into the large chair behind his desk.“You need a fairy, someone to match their power. Get one of my uncles. Rich, powerful, arrogant as fuck. They’d fit the bill to a T,” I offer, dropping my hands on the desk and leaning in.My wolf stirs, hating the idea there are so many young girls being sold off.

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~~End of April~“Boss, there’s a little cute piece of ass here asking for you,” I hear, from somewhere just inside.I blow out a hard breath, doing all I can to keep it together. It doesn’t matter. They’ll see me sweating, hear my heart racing. Can’t hide a damn thing from shifters. But this is too important. This is past rock bottom, out of options. There’s no one else that I can turn to. Hell, I don't even know if I can turn to … him.Desperate is a bad look but especially on me.“She looks a lot younger than your usual,” I hear, as I roll my eyes. Heavy footsteps and the sounds of laughter flitter into my ears from different sections of the building.The blood in every crevice of my body seems to shoot between my ears, nearly making me think the ocean is in my head. Or my heart is about to explode. No one knows I’m here, and no one would miss me anyhow. They could toss me off a cliff, toss me into a fire pit. “What’s her name,” a deep voice asks, and I bare

Goddess I’m such a bad liar, it never ends well.I keep my head low as usual as I wander into the house where I’m supposed to live, but dread coming into more and more. But I got a J-O-B today!! Things are going to change.I sigh as I see pups are running all over, long past their bedtime. I’ve tried my best not to get too close to any of them, but sometimes it’s hard. It isn’t their fault, none of this is.When I see the bed that’s supposed to be mine is empty, I breathe a sigh of relief. Snatching my nightgown, I quickly handle my business in the bathroom and get ready for bed. For the first time in a long while, I feel hopeful. I feel like a better future isn’t too far off. It doesn’t hurt that I’m going to bed on a full stomach for once.Just as I lay eyes on my bed again, there are two toddlers in it, passed out cold. I make a face and hang my head.

    ~Tate’s Point of View~*This is just fucking sick. I hate stuff like this. I hate that we didn’t get to kill the bastards that hurt that girl,* my wolf roars, trying to calm down. I can only agree. You just don’t hurt someone who can’t defend themselves, and especially not a young girl who doesn’t even have a wolf. It’s beyond sick.“I want to find the families of those males, and tear them to pieces too,” I mumble, under my breath. That crime scene was horrific, though I have seen much worse.My eyes can’t move from the victim that is currently across the yard, my heart breaks for what was stolen from her. But I also have to wonder, what’s ahead for her? It’ll be a long recovery. Surely the male holding her can’t provide what she needs.“He can’t just take her, councilor Black wouldn’t go for that. We could be trading one bad home for another. She’s obviously an orphan. My wolf says they’re not related,” I groan, irritated. My wolf Colt nods in my mind, confident in his scenting abi

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~“There,” Lilly says, as she tucks me into the softest bed. I zoned out through getting cleaned up, somehow trusting her to be gentle. I thought I might freak out when she touched me, since she had to get everywhere, but I didn’t. I just wanted so desperately to be clean but I knew I couldn’t find the strength to do it on my own.While I’ve been looking at her now for awhile, I don’t know as though I really noticed her. She’s stunning with light blonde hair and perfect skin. Bright eyes that are kind, a touch that’s just somehow instantly soothing. Her cheeks are a bit red, her manner is calm and inviting. She looks exactly like what the perfect mom would be, if I could imagine one.“I know that talking about what happened is going to be the last thing you want to do. It doesn’t have to be tonight, but you will need to be interviewed. One of my mates is the head investigator, and he’ll be very easy to talk to if you’d like,” she offers. My lips tremble as I tr

    Council of the Supernatural and Shadow Warrior’s Headquarters~Mid May~~Godfrey’s Point of View~“Oooh wake the dead!! This is my favorite game,” I squeal, clapping my hands together. The three faces staring back at me are stern and not impressed. But oh who cares what those losers think! I’m allowed to be excited!“Godfrey, this is a mass murderer with a God complex that is completely unpredictable. He was punished with a thousand years in a box for a good reason! It's only been about eight hundred years and we are not equipped or prepared to deal with setting him free. This is NOT a game,” Dina says, huffing in my face.I narrow my eyes at the fairy, unphased. We voted on this, she was overruled. SORE LOSER!“I’m thinking of changing my vote,” I hear, and turn to stare at Angel. “Too late little witch! That’s not how we do things! I have already declared that the vampire will be under my watchful eye. Any misstep and I’ll take his head myself,” I say, and push past all the whiner

    ~Luc’s Point of View~~Mid August~Surely Godfrey didn't bring me back from the dead to dress me in tattered rags? The male clearly has lots of money. Though obviously lacking in taste. He wants me to look like a vagrant? A street beggar who has soiled himself and gotten into a fight with a rat? My wolf snickers, thinking about some of Godfrey’s ridiculous garments. But of course, I can’t mock him now, not in front of his mate.“Hold still okay, we may need a longer length, high waters are so not in,” Sunny says, shaking her head and pointing.“High what? I don’t believe I've covered that phrase yet,” I question. My accent is heavy, speaking without it is too hard. But they keep trying to get me to lose it. English is new to me, but I know many languages and I’m picking up quickly.She turns me slightly, so I can see myself in the mirror. While we had some reflective glass in my time, it was nothing like this. A full view of the entire length of my body is truly something. As a vain p

    ~Luke’s Point of View~When the sounds of feet pattering picks up, everything in me says it's her. Dante agrees to shift, and when we’re on two feet, we dash through the woods. Within seconds, I see her. My heart thuds in my ears, and Dante growls through me. I’m not sure I even remember a time I was THIS angry.She’s carrying a small flashlight, and probably nothing else. No sort of weapon certainly.“Harlow, you are getting spanked until you can’t stand up. Do I have to lock you in a damn room,” I say, as I walk out from behind a tree about twenty feet ahead of her. She stops running and sighs when she sees me. Lowering the flashlight, she leans forward and puts her hands on her knees for a minute, and I let her collect herself as I stalk forward.“What the fuck are you doing? Were you outside the borders, do you not have any fucking idea how dangerous that is right now?? Do you get it?? The threats are literally all over,” I shout, my anger getting the better of me.She has to get

    ~Luke’s Point of View~*I can’t let it go, I swear she smelled like another male yesterday,* Dante whines. I shrug him off as I watch our sunflower dancing by the fire with Anna and some other females. The fire that Anna conjured up out of thin air, and no one seemed to think it was even the slightest bit weird. It still baffles me that all these different creatures can truly co-exist. Can be open about who they are, but I can’t. Even if it was okay, I don’t know that I could do it. Handle the looks, the stares. People constantly thinking I’ll flip out at any given moment and be the monster their fear tells them I am. If I wasn’t feeding directly from a human at least twice a day, I might very well be. In my younger years I lived for the looks, the stares. The fear and terror I elicited. How wrong I was, and how utterly foolish.*Let’s get her inside and naked. We’ll make sure she remembers who she belongs to,* Dante says, wagging his tail. I know she sees so many different males wh

    ~Rowan’s Point of View~“Dark Thunder huh, you have many undercovers living there,” I question. Not that I know shit about shifter packs, but it shouldn't be hard to find if I have the name. Something just tells me that Luke is a Shadow, he has to be. They’d never allow one such as him to roam free, unchecked. The fact that he didn’t attack or try to drain me, that he was trying to take Otis alive… it all adds up. If he’s a thousand years old there’s no way they don’t know about him. How many like that could there even possibly be?“Yes, there are several living under the guise as a family, even two posing as high school students,” Councilor Quinn says, blowing a puff of smoke in my face. My dad grunts next to him on the large leather sofa, also sucking on a cigar as well.I rub my chin, realizing that if not for seeing this “Luke” fly, if not for seeing his red eyes, I never would have known he was a hybrid. They have his vampire side virtually hidden, so it isn’t surprising some cou

    ~Harlow’s Point of View~~Two Weeks Later~I grin as I watch several kids struggling to roll a snowman with barely three inches on the ground. Since playing in the snow was free, it was one of the few luxuries I could have while in foster care. One constant I could count on that wouldn’t be taken away from me. A mere glimpse into having a normal childhood.My personal favorite was just eating it. Not like many places I lived had freezers, some might have had a small refrigerator but getting ice was a rare treat. One of the puppies nudges at my boot and I quickly bend to pick it up. I think they named him Bark but I can’t be too sure.“Who’s a good boy! Ohhhh look at your widdle ears,” I coo, nuzzling my nose into his face. He licks me and wags his little tail for all he’s worth. I wish I had a treat to give him, and briefly think about going inside for--“Here you go boy,” Luke says, from just over my shoulder as he holds out a large piece of breakfast sausage. I lean back into his wa

    ~Rowan’s Point of View~I dash to the stairs near him, absolutely hating that while I can move fast, I’m not capable of levitating. It pisses me off greatly, because there’s little I can’t do.The male cocks his head to the side a bit, taking me in. I do the same now that I’m closer, and when my eyes rake over his body, my cock literally twitches. It catches me off guard, it's absolutely been dormant for years. I don’t even pleasure myself anymore, just taking satisfaction from my work.And my dick likes … a male? That can’t be right! But my eyes want to soak him in, his hair is long enough to fall over his ice blue eyes, his rugged square jawline, his high cheeks and pert red lips. When his tongue darts out over them, something flutters in my gut. Am I really checking out a fucking guy right now?While I haven’t had sex voluntarily, I’ve still looked at and appreciated many females over the decades. In my early 30’s I went through an aggressive addiction to pornography until I got to

    ~Rowan’s Point of View~Shadows… ugh. I fucking hate Shadows. At least they’re predictable. “Oi! Are you even listening,” Declan barks, as he points to something on his computer screen. “You’re barking so damn loud how could I not,” I retort, crossing my arms in annoyance. I rarely work a job with anyone else. I’m nothing if not methodical, and I can’t go through my rituals and processes with a crowd. I damn sure won’t have someone looking over my shoulder.But also, I have no clue what he said. And I simply don’t care. I’ll let them think they’re helping me.“Calm down brother, don’t let the wedding get yer knickers in a twist,” Conor teases. Declan gives a low growl, and I take a step back from his desk. I’ve only been back a few days, and they act like no time has passed. Like I haven’t been completely absent for a whole year. Subjected to water torture, electroshock therapy and sleep deprivation just to name a few of my fun memories.What’s worse is they all bought the lie. They
