All Chapters of Fang Chronicles: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Their trek began again. They slept several hours after darkness fell and then continued. They came upon the second camp when the sun rose. They didn't smell death, but they didn't hear anyone either."The trail out of the camp is fresh and it includes she-cats. Do you think they are trying to escape the cats and vamps that killed the others?" Reece asked."It's possible. This trail leads further into the jungle. Does everyone agree to follow? Samson will arrive at the rendezvous three days from now and if we aren't there, he will leave us.""We follow," Korep said with barely controlled eagerness.Everyone else nodded.Two hours later, they knew they were close.They had already planned their attack. Korep and Honey would attack as bears. Esta and Reece would remain human while Nicolas, Aster, and Bernard would be in wolf skin. Esta with Korep as her bodyguard would search for the women. The rest would kill cats.Nicolas couldn't notify Vorlyk, but he knew the vampire awaited hi

Everyone was too tired to talk and the last day took the women almost past their limit. Esta kept them going with not-so-gentle coaxing and non-subtle threats. They continued their pace and finally reached the remote airfield using the GPS navigator located in one of the bags. A rough-looking cargo plane waited.Samson and his pilot rested under the shade offered by the aircraft. He looked at Honey and shook his head with sadness. They boarded and took off. The women were past caring about anything but sleep and they passed out almost immediately. One of the babies became restless and for the first time since Korep's death, Honey responded and picked up the unhappy she-cat. He walked to the back area of the plane and sat down to play with the infant. Everyone else settled down and fell asleep, including Nicolas.They changed to Brandt's jet at a military base on U.S. soil. It took an hour for the last part of their trip.Nicolas took time to ask each woman's name and assure them the

Everyone attended the ceremony. Amy and Marcus brought Sierra and Roland. The new cats brought Alana and Nessa, the youngest of the beastkind.Marcus began with a short speech. "Two of my wolves have expressed their desire to join Nicolas's pack. Amy, Columbus, and I give permission. Cheri, Brandt, and Emily also permit Isaac to join with Nicolas. We wish Torrent, Blayne, and Isaac a long life filled with contentment and the warmth of their new pack. Will the three step forward and offer their fealty to Vorlyk and Nicolas?"The three wolves approached Nicolas. He first sliced his palm, and then held the sharp knife out to them. They each cut their palm deeply, and then shook Nicolas's hand, mixing their blood. The wolves stepped to Vorlyk and went to one knee.Vorlyk walked to Torrent and tapped his shoulder.Torrent stood. "My liege." He offered his neck and the vampire struck quickly, and then went to the next man.Nicolas called Talya, Nikka, and Sheeba forward. Nicolas drew th

The transducer probe was cold and images immediately showed up on the screen. Laura enlarged the picture and explained what they were looking at. Nicolas ran his hand over the soft fur on her neck, his eyes transfixed on the monitor."There is your child."So small. Laura took several pictures and then moved the probe for a different view.Nicolas didn't speak out loud but, "I love you," whispered into her mind."And I love you." She said back into his.Laura broke into their silent communication, "Would you like to see your child as human?""Yes, I would," Nicolas didn't give Zenya a chance to answer.She growled softly over his alpha tendency of taking charge but she wanted to see their child as human too. She shifted and lay back against the white sheet covering the table.Reverence flowed with Laura's words, "No matter how old I grow, I will never get over the actual shift of beastkind. It's its own miracle." Nicolas was right, Zenya liked the doctor. In her entire life,

Samson called a few days later and left word that he and his men discovered another camp filled with dead women and children. There was no evidence of a vampire. Several men's bodies lay among the dead females. It gave them hope that maybe some of the male cats had different views than Raykon, though it angered them that death was their reward for harboring the females. There was no sign of the most-wanted beastkind in the Americas, and the three North American clans didn't let down their guard. From intel acquired through their network, Raykon and Amelia faced their own troubles with the number of vampires running loose in their jungle. The cub's eyes opened on day three. They were brown like his father's. They talked about his name, but didn't settle on only one. Nicolas would give the official decision at the naming ceremony when the baby was one month old. The very next step was the transformation to human. Laura would leave directly after this next miracle.When the baby was ni
