The glistening waters of the Versailles Ocean seemed to stretch on forever. It was why Aaron always rode his motorcycle down the highway after school, just to catch a glimpse of its gleaming waters. At the start of May, the ocean would look so calm and peaceful. Summer was approaching, and it wouldn't be long until it was warm enough to swim in the sea.After a second, he turned his attention back to the highway. The last thing he needed to do was crash. If he caused a scene, his dad might make good on his threat and send him to a penile town. If there was one place in Acroya he didn't want to end up, it was a penile town.Aaron turned his turn signal on and turned down the off-ramp from the highway. He could see the sands of Sequoya beach as he drove straight into the parking lot. He searched around and found a bike rack at the far end of the lot. He cut the engine once he stopped in front of it and pushed the bike into the rack by hand.He tapped the control screen and the four clam

She sent the others on ahead. They were going to assault the building from two position. Naturally, she kept Ro with her, someone Bianca wished she could pawn onto the other team, but Ro was needed. Aaron was physically the strongest and she was the best fighter, so they would assault the front."What are we waiting for?" Ro growled. She had her arms crossed and she looked ready to tear through the front door.Bianca looked pointedly down at her phone. It was an old, outdated piece of technology, but there was an alert system, so they couldn't use the linkers. "What do you think we're waiting for? We need to make sure we they're ready when we begin the assault.""I guess," Ro grunted.Aaron snorted. "Come on. Don't make that face. You know Bianca wants to kill them as much as as us. They invaded the den, they're going to die.""Why aren't we attacking with full force?""The others will sneak in the back why we make sure the-"Her phone beeped. A message appeared. She smiled and jumpe

She whistled low and quiet. As much as she hated to admit it, she was impressed. Her opinion of the lycanwas quickly improving. The pack had split in two and one was assaulting the front.She decided to ignore the smaller pack in favor of the larger, attacking wolves. The evacuation was well underway, so the Shadow had time to play."Where is the other servant?" she asked one of her servants.The White Cloaked Man looked into the crystal ball and frowned. "It's in the far corridor, away from the soldiers. None of them of them have been stupid enough to approach it."Master Shadow nodded. "Good. I would hate for our pet to slaughter it's way through the defenders."She pointedly ignored the soldiers in the room as she spoke."Very well. Then let the wolves come. I'll enjoy playing with them myself.""Alice wants-""I don't care what she wants," the shadow announced. "This is what I want."

The lycans came in fast. Too fast. He wasn't a supernatural monstet like his employers, but he had a frame of reference in the girl he worked for. The monster he saw had glided across the ground like a shadow, barely touching the dirt under her feet. When she moved, she didn't make a sound. Alice was silent. Silent like a ghost. A mad ghost of blood.The Guard was prepared for that. If Alice was a ghost, then the things that came through were banshees. They were not silent monsters of the night. They ripped through the walls, howling like beasts. The she wolf was on him before he could react and then she had a claw through his throat.

When the Alpha asked her to watch the beta and the hunting group, she thought it was going to be boring.Still, she would have asked for another assignment. Serving his betas was not why she agreed to work directly under him, but she was one of fangs now, and she did not disobey.If the Alpha didn't know she had a talent for stealth and spying, he never would have given the order.Whoever let it slip that she was from a family of performers was on her shit list now.That was before the hunting group ran head first into the vampire liar. She even forgot the leeches had invaded the first den in the excitement. This was going to be fun.
