#Chapter132Christopher Ross.I never heard laughter cease so quickly. It was as if someone cut off everything; silencing the room enough to hear a needle hit the ground."How do you know my father's name?" I struggled to swallow that knot that formed in the back of my throat."Because I know your father."He’s lying."You're a lie." I snapped."Christopher Ross. Also known as Chris Gold now. He was a doctor who specialized in family practices. The man who died in a horrific car accident." He leaned back in his chair.It was simple.It was easy for him to know about my father before his death. Hell, even an old newspaper could tell him about my father."I mean it was the perfect cover up. A little fire and a body-""You stalked us?""Of course not." He smiled as if he knew it all. "I’m just a little disappointed that he forgot to tell his family about his little side gigs.""Go to hell."I was angry yet I was also emotionally torn apart when he

#Chapter134Tension was building in the room as Aniyah watched her mother's normal life be stripped away from her.Terra sat in the room's corner; her body quivering as she rocked back and forth hoping to stay warm."I don’t feel well." Terra cried.Her pain had elevated. The pressure had expanded throughout her entire body; leaving her bones, skin, and muscles crying out for help.On the inside she was on fire. Her blood boiling throughout her veins however on the outside, she was freezing cold."What do you feel?" Aniyah kneeled beside her mother."Everything." Terra was not sure how to put it in words. "And-I’m so thirsty."Aniyah wasn’t sure but she had an idea on what her mother was craving. It wasn’t the cool sensation of water, but the alluring appetite for blood.As Jess watched from the other corner, she began to watch as her friends, her family, go through something so horrific. A woman, who was almost like a mother to her, was being destroyed by some

#Chapter136"My-my wife?"The room became overwrought. It was as if a dark, impenetrable cloud had rolled in, carrying a storm that was strong enough to rip through every person.That storm was Lucifer."What have you done?!" Christopher's fangs showed Lucifer that he was ready to tear through him. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"Describing the anger that ripped through Christopher and Kareem was impossible. The idea, the thought of losing the woman they had loved left them stuck in a trance they could not shake.Kill him. They thought.Furry crossed their faces as they hissed violently as they sought to charge."Wait a minute." Lucifer reached into his pocket. "Aht aht."He warned; his hand submerged in his pocket before he retrieved a small, indefinite item."Wait." Jason ceased them before he turned to Lucifer. "What’s that?""Well. It’s a little detonator.""For?" Jason held back the desire to shift; the desire to run through Lucifer with a single snap of

#Chapter138Jason caught wind on what Carl and Brent were up to. He just needed to give them enough time to get them done. "Have you ever dreamed of being on top of the world?" Lucifer continued. "Unstoppable. Respected.""You want to be feared?" Chris questioned."Fear. Respected. Same thing." Lucifer chuckled, sharing a laugh with his right hand, Liz."It’s not." Jason noted. "I rather be respected for what I do and who I’m then feared for being a damn monster."Lucifer was a little surprised by the comments of his guest. He expected them to oppose in the beginning, however he thought they would be a little more optimistic once he offered his speech.Even though he did not admit it, he was growing very impatient with the meeting. He wanted-he needed- them to see it his way."This is pointless." Liz intervened.She thought they could strive without the help of the wolf and vamps. To her, they were nothing but simpletons who she knew would get in the way.

#Chapter140Jason stood at the patient room door, watching from a far as the doctor wrapped the bandage wrap around Aniyah's arm."Thankfully you did not need stitches." The doctor sealed the end of the wrap with a strip of tap before she finished it with a smile."Thank you." Aniyah nodded."Come back in a few weeks and we will make sure everything is going good. Okay?""Yes."The doctor turned away and began heading toward the door."Thank you." Jason spoke."Of course Alpha. Make sure she gets some rest. I'm sure the entire ordeal took a toll on her.""I will."The doctor took leave; leaving Jason alone with the woman he had searched so long for."How are you feeling?" Jason asked her, watching as she rubbed her hand across her arm."Better." Aniyah slid from the bed before Jason placed her back without a word. "What are you doing?""You need some rest. I would advise you stay here.""I'm not tired." Aniyah slid from the bed; her body maneuv
