All Chapters of Wide Awake Chaos: Shadow Warrior Series: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

~Harlow’s Point of View~My legs wobble as I close my coat tighter around me. I stand utterly horrified, gaping at a room full of well dressed, and clearly wealthy men. They’re enjoying drinks, cigars and typical male banter. Though they’re not looking at sports or fighting, they’re looking at naked girls young enough to be their daughters. Or granddaughters.A girl no more than 16 trembles on a stage, in nothing but a skimpy thong. I knew Caden was keeping girls, but seeing this… seeing them literally being sold… I just can’t fathom it. It’s absolutely sickening.“Right there! Seven million to the gentleman down front,” the announcer shouts. Everyone applauds as the girl looks around in absolute horror. Everything in me says to run to her, grab her and then… do what exactly? Before I can hold my next thought, the male who bought the girl is already on stage and taking her. I cringe when I see Caden across the room, now in a suit though he doesn’t have a tie on, applauding the loudest

~Tate’s Point of View~I rear back my fist and lunge myself at Orion, the male who’d be trusted to keep Harlow safe. But a hard fist stops me abruptly, as I feel a stiff large body at my back. I don’t have to guess it’s my grandfather, Quinn. Especially when I see the expensive sleeve of his suit stretched out, his large hand clasped around mine.“There was nothing he could do. We couldn’t have possibly predicted Harlow would kill literally one of the most prolific murders on the planet. Fuckin’ proud of her though and good riddance,” Shane defends. Orion runs his hand through his pretty boy hair as I fume anyhow.“The guy who got her was like… turned on by the fact that she killed him. I kept trying to bid but after a while the announcer ignored me. Probably getting a cut but come on, fifty million? I have no idea who he was either, probably crawled out of some hole,” Orion says.“She has to be scared shitless,” I say, as I pull my hand down and shove away from my grandfather. There i

~Rowan’s Point of View~“Fuck, it’s too many,” I say, looking through the binoculars at the compound of Hans Hendricks. King perv and utterly nasty bastard. Killing him will be an absolute joy, and my entire body practically salivates thinking about it.The kind of fairy I am, draws its energy and its strength on taking lives. Not just any lives though, the worse the better. And since we crave it, we absolutely need it to survive, my family decided long ago to cash in on it.Soul devourers, for hire.“Da’s on his way,” Colin whispers, and I groan.“There’s no avoiding it,” Declan says, already knowing my thoughts.Dad’s gonna come in here, fire blazing and just level the entire place. It’s obviously full of kids, and revenge or not we can’t have that. While most would believe by our reputation we don’t care about hurting innocents, we do. Most of us.“What’s that,” I question, pointing at something far off in the distance. It was a light, barely visible for a moment, but I saw it. “R

~Luke’s Point of View~“So am I supposed to win or not,” I whine, annoyed with Godfrey. He sure talks a lot for someone who doesn’t actually say much. Doesn’t help that he’s the last person I want in my face right now.“The first few fighters you’re going to crush but leave alive,” he says, annoyed. He’s probably repeated himself a few times but I shake it off. My entire being is literally buzzing and it’s not from the already half drunk and rowdy crowd surrounding me. I’ve drank more human blood in the last few hours than I’ve probably had in weeks combined. And it's been directly from the source, no bagged bullshit. But that’s not going to matter to the vampire side of my brain in a fight. When the frenzy most certainly comes.If I’m under attack and blood is in the air, I’m going to want it. I haven’t had a real fight since before my punishment; the training I’ve had with the Shadows hasn’t been true life or death. Not only that, I’ve been told that the male who has Harlow is going

~Hope’s Point of View~*I am a total badass! I survived a bomb,* I shout, victorious.*Uhm I survived it, you weren’t even here yet hellooo. I’ve been waiting a very long time already,* my human whines.I scoff and demand that she size up these males. They’re not even shifters! Wait, my mate is not a shifter?? What is the Goddess doing to me?! Did the human know about this??*To US! We’re one person in case you haven’t noticed! And no, I met him the same time as you,* my human complains. I scoff!Our head and eyes fall to the floor, and I’m immediately furious.*Hold your head high I said! Show no fear or they’ll eat us for dinner,* I snap, letting her know the deal. If I can’t shift I’m damn well going to make sure she knows I’m here and in control! I refuse to be stuck inside the body of a push over, that’s not how this is going to work.My human sighs and forces our head up, demanding answers from these weird males. When she baits them, I couldn’t be more proud! Our mate speaks up
