Chapter 111: King

Marinah's avoidance doesn't bother me. She needs time to think this through. What she doesn't understand is, she's a leader and she's strong enough to lead the Shadow Warriors. I remember my doubts in the beginning. They ate me alive. The difference is Marinah has me at her side. I won't let her flounder. Axel begins testing the whistles after I give him Marinah's orders. I inform my guard that Marinah doesn't have meetings or training planned for today. "You told her?" asks Beck. "She took it as well as expected." "That bad?" "It could have been worse." And the earthquake that took down San Francisco in 1906 could have been worse too. "You want us twiddling our thumbs?" asks Labyrinth. The man's a lummox and I don't count dexterity as one of his pluses so I doubt he could. "Until we have our orders, go for it." He nods, lifts his hands, and twiddles those monstrous thumbs. That's when Marinah walks into the conference room. The m

Chapter 112: Marinah

They were laughing at me, and I don't blame them. I simply can't lead hundreds of men, scratch that, Shadow Warriors. I have no idea what I'm doing. I replay the entire meeting in my head. They're like children, and I can't believe I need to point them in a direction and tell them what to do. Stupid. And King's gone through this for years. Labyrinth mentioned Cosway, and it reminded me I need to check on her. I begin my search and eventually give up and ask one of the door guards. He points me to the outside courtyard. I find her there, playing with the kittens. "Pretty butterfly," she says when she notices me. She's a rather pretty butterfly herself now. Soap, water, and good food make her look younger. Someone also took a chisel to her teeth. I'd place her in her mid-twenties. "Hi, Cosway. Do you mind if I join you and play with the kittens?" She pushes the calico in my direction, and I grab him before he scampers off. "He likes the pr

Chapter 113: King

Marinah is working with Ruth, who's making incredible progress. There hasn't been a complaint about the child in weeks. She follows Marinah around like she's her personal guard. The sword Marinah gave her always on her hip and her hand on the pommel daring anyone to threaten her instructor. "King," Beck calls. "We have urgent news from the northern outpost." Here we go. It's been too quiet. "I'll grab Marinah. Have the men join us in the conference room in five." I don't ask what the news is because it's Marinah's job. Beck should have gone to her first, but that's something she needs to deal with. Eventually things will fall into place. When I took over after my uncle's death, it was the same way. Shadow Warriors expect a leader and sometimes knocking heads is the best way to lead them. I enter the gym, and Ruth is holding her sword with trembling arms, sweat rolling down her brow, and a stubborn set to her jaw which reminds me of Marinah's determination when she

Chapter 114: Marinah: Main U.S. Outpost

King's hand slides across my shoulder causing me to turn. Comfort and strength show in his striking blue eyes. He's dressed in military fatigues in place of his usual "tear you apart" Shadow Warrior gear. The fatigue shirt stretches at the seams trying to cover his broad chest and shoulders. I prefer his leather chest straps for their practicality, and to be perfectly honest, they show his muscles to their best advantage. Today we're dressed in outpost military attire and covered from ankle to shoulder. If we shift to our Warrior forms, the material will shred and our Beasts won't care if we're nude. I spent too many years thinking I was human to want to show my naked bits and pieces to the people at the outpost. We'll deal with that problem if shifting becomes a necessity. The outpost has grown to three times the size it was during our last visit. Not in the least pretty, it's a ragtag mess that somehow manages to appear organized. Humans slapped together houses, huts, and ca

Chapter 115: Marinah

The woman's gaze drops to the table at my abrupt question. I've been dealing with too many men. The only thing that works with them is short, uncomplicated words with a grunt or two thrown in. I now prefer it that way. When the women on the island seek me out, they want me to solve every domestic problem on the planet, and they talk entirely too much. I change how I deal with them because shooting out commands puts them in tears or worse, makes them angry. You do not want to eat food made by an angry cook. King and I found this out the hard way. This female is different. Now that I've had a few minutes to assess her energy, I feel the Shadow Warrior essence though it's slightly different than the males, softer somehow, which makes sense, but also more powerful in its overall capacity. Interesting. She's watching me closely like she knows my thoughts. Her slight smile drives me crazy, and I almost growl. "Male Shadow Warriors have one thought and one plan of action:

Chapter 116: King

Landan says a few words as we walk away from the cabin. His voice dies out when he realizes I'm paying no attention. He's quickly learned the nuances of dealing with Shadow Warriors, and he makes his escape with a muttered excuse of checking on things, whatever that means. My Beast has fully accepted Marinah as Alpha. Unfortunately, there are two beings inside this body, and I personally wanted to bite her head off for dismissing me so abruptly. I no longer have delusions over who could kill who. Marinah takes her training seriously, and every Shadow Warrior has seen her change into a deadly fighting machine even when she's not in Nova form. She's been working on that too. Her control isn't great and pulling forth her Nova takes a lot out of her. If she's angry about something, it's easier which doesn't make her happy. She wants absolute control over each facet of her Warrior, and I have no doubt she'll achieve it, eventually. Beast finally grumbles, mate. I want t

Chapter 117: Marinah

My flight isn't just about the women. I've barely been holding my own in the leadership department. It was hoisted upon me after my Warrior form warped to Nova which is a term for a Beast form on steroids. King was, well, king. Now it's me as leader and nothing comes naturally. My days are frustration and tension rolled into one. I've been training as much as possible, learning to handle every weapon we have. My knowledge on guns was nonexistent, especially the Russian weapons available on the island. Now, I can look at a firearm and give you the make, model, and caliber of bullet it fires. I spend hours each day working with swords, developing my skill, magnifying the damage I can do. King and Beck drill me endlessly on military strategy, and the amount of knowledge I've dumped into my brain should make it explode. And still, I feel inadequate as alpha of the Shadow Warriors. How long before I simply take my role for granted and stop worrying about how many people I'll kill wi

Chapter 118: King

Mate, Beast chides. Wet mate, I whisper back with an internal laugh. Flinging Marinah into the water satisfies something inside me that's been missing for far too long. I have all of two seconds to enjoy my self-satisfied state before I'm attacked from behind. Claws sink into my back and wrap around my face, going for my eyes. A three-hundred-pound mountain lion is out for my blood. By the time Marinah appears above the water's surface, I'm in a battle for my life. The noise coming from my throat is not that of a Warrior. A claw catches me in the forehead and teeth sink into the side of my face. "If you hurt Callie, you're a dead man," Marinah yells between coughs while spitting out water. "She's the devil," I shout back on a strangled high note while trying to save my left eye from being gouged and possibly eaten. The hellcat is plastered to my head, doing everything she can to skin me alive. Dripping wet, the darn thing probably weighs three pounds.

Chapter 119: King: Homestead One

The helicopter drops us a mile from the most populated housing area near the shore. We rappel down so the helicopter doesn't need to land. Once we're on solid ground, Marinah leads us toward the fight. Beck's information says there are at least fifty soldiers fully armed with as many hellhounds. Marinah is worried for Che and Ruth. She doesn't need the distraction while she's finding her Warrior legs. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to stop her from building a ragtag team of adolescent human juveniles. Her leadership style will settle down, but in the meantime, even though she understands she has too much on her plate, we must put up with her need to save the world, not just our small island. We creep through the sand along the rocks near to shore. One of the men gives a signal, and our eyes turn toward the water. Five mid-sized rafts rest on the shore. Marinah signals one of the men to destroy them. The use of rafts tells me they have an undetected ship offsho

Chapter 120: Marinah

During the next twenty-four hours, we receive no demands from the Federation for Knet, not that we expected any. Knet has information they want and to them, he's little more than an animal. I never completely trusted Knet, but he's one of my people so his loss affects me. The soldiers who attacked us simply disappeared. At least the ones we didn't kill. I'm sure having a submarine makes that easier. From what we know, soldiers landed, a group captured Knet, returned to the sub, and left soldiers behind to kill as many humans and Shadow Warriors as possible. Those who stayed behind are dead now and still my rage simmers. I turn the corner and see Maylin and Missy talking. Missy is Beck's mate and Maylin is Nokita's. They're both pretty and neither changes into an alien monster. And yes, I'm being petty. I simply don't want to deal with them right now. Missy wastes no time getting up in my business and both women block the hallway. "You haven't slept. The only way you'll be
