His Biggest Secret Chapter 176
When the injured Fae dragged himself to the bench under her, she knew she was in a prime spot for observing the Satyr. She recognized the Fae from the team briefing and knew he would likely attempt to contact the Satyr as he returned from work.The Pixie Observer team positioned themselves in key locations in the city along Henry's daily path. They were using maximum stealth spells to hide from Fae observation as well, though this wasn't as critical lately. It was tiring and worse, boring, but it had finally paid off! The Satyr no longer wore the ring bound to the Fae's healing spell. That sure sounded like significant news!She'd witnessed the Satyr was still able to draw the healing magic to himself, and she'd almost been blown from the tree when the Fae used it to heal himself. A brute force use of magic but undoubtedly effective.It would be up to her boss to determine what to do with this news, but there was only one outcome she desired.She wanted to stop hiding in that damn tre

Henry Gable contemplated the knife in his hand. The grip was comfortable and seemed designed to fit the larger hand of his Satyr form. The eight-inch blade was wickedly sharp and tapered to a deadly point. Greatest caution was required when using it to keep his fingers connected to his hand.His eyes automatically went to his right ring finger.Mab's finger.It looked and felt like his now, but he knew it once came from the hand of the mad queen. Not that she'd personally experienced the agony of its removal. That cruelty was inflicted upon their newborn daughter, whose mind was now trapped in the Fae's body.Henry's mind spun as he once more tried to come to terms with the evil Queen Mab and Baba Yaga had done that night.Envious of Henry's link to a source of magic more potent than her own, Mab designed a master level spell to create a new body for herself, a body linked to the realm of Wild Magic as Henry was. The most heinous aspect of her spell was that it required a child born o

Beautiful blue eyes flared as she held his gaze while tingles ran down her spine from his touch. "No, not just her."The sweet honesty of her response made him instantly regret his teasing. He'd moved out of his old condo two weeks ago. It was true; Sandy had enjoyed his attentions most nights in the months leading up to his departure as she'd moved in with him after vacating her unit on the fourth floor.With the demands of moving into his new place and the extra duties he had at work, writing a new firewall application for a contract Camila made with the US Government, he'd been rather preoccupied lately.He moved forward and took her face between his hands, her eyes lashes fluttering from the tingles he was sending through her skin. Then his mouth found hers, and she wrapped her arms around his hard body, crushing herself against him. They were both covered by Kesini's golden locks.Henry slid his right hand around to the back of Sandy's head, deep in her hair, as his left slid dow

"Damn, you're getting too good at that! You almost made me tear your clothes off!" she purred.Henry nodded to her with a gentle smile. They hadn't been... intimate since that night in the hospital. The night he lost control of his heat and changed her and her friends forever. He knew she was frightened to do more than kiss, and that made him sad. She was the one who most resented the change, though she was coming to terms with it recently as it was so useful for her becoming a doctor, and ultimately, a surgeon."I love what you're doing with your hair," he said, his voice still a little rough.Her eyes flashed to his as she saw how he was restraining himself. Her gaze softened, and she smiled as she primped her hair just a little. "Yes, I love it almost as much as Sandy loves hers. Now, if I could just get Kesini to stop playing with it."Henry chuckled as he pictured the blonde locks playing within the mane of dark curls.Dayshia took a step towards the living room, then stopped and

She'd initially been exposed to the new magic by a man who wouldn't be attending the party tonight, Nate Walker. There'd been no sign of Henry's latest friend since Queen Mab took control of his mind and used him to escape. The suspicion was that Mab still had the Incubus with her in her castle in Ireland, but the impregnable fortress was locked tight. That was something else that troubled Henry's dreams.The ladies reached his door, and each gave him a sensual kiss before going inside. While he'd expected it from the Succubi, he was a little surprised by the passion in Siobhan's kiss as Henry hadn't been intimate with her... directly, though he'd helped her complete her upgrade with Marisa's assistance. He blinked at the cheeky smile she gave him over her shoulder as she dropped her shoes, slipped on the guest slippers, and joined the others in the living room.He locked up and moved to the entrance of the open space. He panned his eyes over his friends, and aside from Meixiu, all we

"The Fae are no longer restricting themselves to work to rule or house arrest. Last month they went back to their day to day routines and actually seemed more cooperative than before, with one exception. Any requests for information about Queen Mab is met with silence. They won't or can't speak about her. It's almost like she doesn't exist for them." Michelle gave Marisa a sympathetic look."She broke the deal." Eyes turned to Mahati, who continued. "When Queen Mab enacted her spell at the party, she broke the deal Henry made with her for the glamors for his friends. She requested three favors in return. The deal I brokered was simple: The favors cannot, in any way, impinge upon Henry's physical or mental freedom. They must not, in any way, endanger him physically or mentally. And those two conditions also applied to those Henry considered important to him."She watched that sink in with the other guests. "Mab used up her first favor making Henry assist with the healing of the Ogre. N

Gordon thought that was overkill and would generate more attention, but he wasn't being asked his opinion. He nodded."There seems to be a number of the larger pseudo-clouds congregating in Missouri. You might want to take your team there to start. Thank you for taking on Colonel Devlin's mission.""It's my honor, Director." He stood as the briefing was obviously over. He placed the docket in his briefcase, locked it, and then nodded to the men and left the meeting room.He had his marching orders, and he'd much rather be out in the field than in some stuffy meeting room any day.Today, Gordon was once again returning from that meeting room. The pseudo-clouds' incursions were increasing, and months after that initial meeting, they still had no definitive plan for stopping them. They'd discovered it was possible to kill them, but their current methods were inefficient and not always successful.Meanwhile, there'd been some disturbing news from the other side of the world. A colossal br

Jake's expression suddenly turned angry. "It's the damn Ruskies! They're sending drone clouds over here to... to...""Zap our wheat?" Sam asked, suppressing his grin."Yes! Zap our--" Jake caught the amusement in Sam's eyes. "Fuck you! What's your idea then?""Ain't got one yet. I need more information. Help me look for the controller. It should have fallen in the same place as this shiny stuff or close by."The two men carefully inspected the ground. Sam paused to use a broken wheat stalk to poke several foil strips into one compartment of his plastic lunch container. The foil was so thin, he was afraid touching them with his fingers might tear it. The box protected it well enough, and he slipped it back into the lunch bag."Sam! I found something!" Jake yelled out.Sam hustled over to Jake's side to see what he was looking at. Hanging on some bent over wheat stalks was a thin mesh of fine gold threads roughly two-foot square. At each thread intersection was a flat, oval translucent

They stopped at the guardhouse where a startled looking soldier stared at them, then just waved them through. They returned to the building with the auditorium. The Colonel, the General, Hugh, and the lab coats were waiting for them. Corporal Dane handed the camera back to the technician, who accepted it excitedly. He immediately reviewed the recording and made excited sounds to his colleagues.The General was trying to school his expression but wasn't too successful."How... how are you feeling, son?" he asked softly from his tight throat.The big marine saluted him with a wide smile. "I feel really good, sir! So much better than I was after the explosion and maybe better than my best day."Hugh's expression was satisfied. "I know a lot of other soldiers who might appreciate the same chance."Mick stepped forward. "Sir, what we saw today was just short of a miracle. His body rejected the conversion, and we almost lost him. The injury he sustained created a break in the flow, and he a

Gordon took in the ribbons pinned to the marine's dress uniform. He'd done some pretty impressive things in his career. He stepped forward and returned the man's salute. "I'm Colonel Gordon Crane.""Gunnery Sergeant Christopher Endale."Gordon smiled and gestured to the soldiers, who were now all smiling at him. "I suppose your security clearance has been escalated to allow you to witness this, so let me introduce you to my squad. Up until yesterday, they were a group of highly trained human soldiers. We were charged with capturing a small group of Silver People. Instead, my people got turned into Silver People themselves. They're still the same soldiers, but you can't really call them human any longer. Not that they've complained.""We can run so fast!" Yablonski gushed.The squad burst into chuckles, and the marine's eyes widened at the odd sound."Maybe discipline has been affected," Crane grumbled, and his squad snapped to attention as the argument was over and the two men returne

"I'm not at my peak either. I had to use a fair amount to deal with Carl de Bellisle. But I don't intend to fight Nuru. I don't want her job!" she exclaimed.Sigrid snorted in amusement, and the phone chirped. Camila pressed the button. "Yes?""Your 9 AM is here," Felix said."Thank you. Please send them in."Sigrid stood to face the door as Camila joined her. "Remember our visit to Walter's cavern?" the blond asked quietly, and Camila nodded as she smiled at Nuru, who strode in with her bodyguards at her sides. They shut the door.The waves of energy radiating from the leader confirmed Camila's guess that she'd been overfeeding in preparation for this meeting. She sighed, as in contrast, Camila held back on her output the best she could. She forced a smile onto her lips."Greetings, Nuru Onwudiwe," Camila began and bowed her head to the other woman."Camila Villamor, you are not presenting the excess of power you did the other night," Nuru snapped.Camila looked up and nodded. "As I

Keeping the destination drop zone in his mind, he opened the tear, and Henry fell through to drop three feet to the grass below. The back of his head landed on the small brass commemorative plate bolted to the stone next to the bushes. Xiong winced but quickly closed the tear as he saw the beam of a flashlight approaching.He hoped their friend was okay as they'd asked so much from him. He looked back to the pile of charred remains. Something shiny caught his attention. It was up where Henry's head had been. Xiong reached down and lifted the crystal ganglion from the ground. His body must have rejected it after he was healed.Xiong couldn't inform Henry that he no longer had their transplanted capacity to wield magic. He also had no idea how Henry got it out yet completed his spell.He looked to the others. "We will bury these remains in the forest glade to honor our friend, Henry."A feeling of joy and love washed through him from the others. The Glass People loved the idea, as they

He felt Xiong withdrawing, and through the magic in him, he picked up snippets of a conversation Xiong was having with all of the other Glass People. The volume was a bit overwhelming as there were so many voices, and they were upset. They seemed to be talking about making him a Glass Person because of his injuries. To save him. Xiong was trying to tell them it wouldn't work as he'd already been subjected to the same energies, and he wasn't glass now.Henry was beginning to get seriously worried. How badly was he hurt? He felt someone close by and reached out to the mind. It was one of the Silver People.It physically touched him, and he linked minds with the young female. Concepts and perceptions were flowing through their link. She was sad. She'd heard he was the hero who'd saved all of the people on this planet and many on Earth. He imagined looking through her eyes at him, and she allowed it.He saw his Human glamor, and he looked no worse for wear. That was a relief. He dropped t

Crane shrugged. "I might have gotten more information, but Palmer's team decided to make his attempt at capturing my team.""You informed your team to run. They're now on the loose," Palmer asserted."No, they've gone to ground and will contact me tomorrow. They're still my squad. They remain devoted to the mission, as do I," Gordon asserted."But they won't come in," Baines growled."Yes, they'll come in, but not if they're going to be experimented on. Fully human soldiers would behave the same way under this threat, and there's no need for it. They've already proven they'll tell us everything we need to know." He locked eyes with the General. "Having a squad of bulletproof soldiers able to move faster than we can register with our eyes gives us one hell of an advantage, wouldn't you say? And remember, we know how to make more."That got through to the man."I'd personally like to speak to one of these Silver People," said the man with the crooked smile.Crane nodded. "We saw a repor

"Status report, Mick," Crane commanded through his mic. Their radios were shielded, so they still worked.The sergeant was still a little overwhelmed by the shared emotions, but she pulled it together and answered. "Colonel. The pseudo-clouds appear to be dead. The strike zone of the last prolonged bolt is too energized for us to enter. In the center of this zone is a body. We can't get close enough to make a positive identification or to determine if the person is alive or not. It looks to be a male based on body shape and clothing. The area is sprouting new growth unnaturally fast. Grasses and flowers are actually growing before our eyes. The four Silver People we met in Tennessee were here before we arrived, and they showed us how lightning affects the plant life where it strikes."And how exactly did they do that?" Crane asked, weariness in his tone.Mick felt a little uneasy with what she was about to confess, but she pushed ahead. "Uh, it seems we can speak mind to mind if we ho

As he got closer, he could feel every hair on his body beginning to stand on end. Little sparks were jumping between the strands, and he could taste something metallic. The rain was picking up, as was the wind, and soon he was drenched. The closer Henry got, the brighter the sparks snapping across his body became. It felt like his entire body was being pricked by pins and needles. The woman suddenly looked up at him and stopped with a look of fear on her face, clutching her child to her side.Henry looked closely at her and realized her hair was as soaked as his, but hers wasn't attracting the sparks at all.He looked past the woman and saw the tiny sparks leaping through the gap between himself and the approaching storm. He was a lightning rod! FUCK! He had to get away from her and the children! He spotted two young men running by."STOP!" he roared, and they froze in fear. "Help her get her children to cover!" he ordered, and they rushed to her and got her moving, one pushing her ca

"Shit!" Crane exclaimed.Sam looked at his friends then back to the Colonel. "These things duking it out over a city would not be good. I don't know what effect the lightning would have on people, but I can't imagine it would be good." A sudden pang of guilt made him look to the new Silver People they'd made. "You should know, we get our energy from the lightning. I guess it's how we eat."Jake scowled at Sam, but he just shrugged. He wasn't about to let them starve to death.Brenda and Jeannie went back into the barn and returned with handfuls of the silver strips, handing them out to the soldiers. Brenda took the remaining strips back to the barn when they no longer melted into the soldier's skin."We have to leave," the Colonel said, looking at Sam."That's cool with us. It's up to you what happens to your people. We're just going to keep running as that's what feels best. We won't interfere with you. I'd like to ask that you do the same for us, but maybe you don't have that author
