Minkah waited until the coast was clear and no eyes were on her before switching back to her Human form. She stepped out of the shadows by the tree next to the bench and looked to the front door where her quarry had gone.He wasn't at all like she'd expected. Her impression of the smaller, timid man in the large body had been strengthened by their encounter. If he'd followed her to the alley, she would have tranquilized him and stuffed him away in the council's dungeon. She wouldn't have heard his confession. He was going to be a father, and he wasn't ready. He seemed to have endured some unresolved trauma involving a child. That had shaken his confidence badly.He'd shown her kindness and didn't try to pet her or pick her up. Instead, he'd held out his hand and let her set the pace. She'd tested his magic with a taste, and that made her fur stand on end. He'd just smiled at her, but at that moment, he could have done anything to her as her senses were overwhelmed by a new kind of mag

Camila leaned back in her chair with a small smile on her lips. She was watching the smug expression on his face. "You certainly have a surplus of self-confidence. It's too bad that's not all that's required. You have to be able to play well with others." She sighed because Carl's smile was being replaced with a look of annoyance. "This is what I'm talking about. When people tell you the truth, you'll need to be able to recognize it and appreciate it. We're all at risk at the moment with the strange events occurring all over the globe. Now, more than at any other time in history, we need to be treading lightly and cooperating with each other. Have you watched the news recently? Attention is being focused on things that should not be seen. And you want to start a turf war in one of Earth's most populous cities?" She threw him a disappointed look.He hit the tabletop with a big fist, and conversation died off around them.He kept his voice low, but there was a definite edge of suppresse

Henry arrived at work at almost thirty past the hour and saw Roy standing in the lobby. The big redhead gave him a raised eyebrow. Henry aimed a self-conscious smile his way, then paused before walking over to the man."Good morning, Henry. Is everything okay?""Good morning, Roy. I think I need to have a talk with you, Camila, and Sigrid," Henry responded."Can it wait until after our 9:30 executive meeting? I was sent upstairs to collect you," Roy said.Henry's expression dropped. "Shit! Sorry! It completely slipped my mind. Let's go."The two men took the elevator to the basement level and entered the boardroom just as Camila was about to begin."Take your seats, please."Henry hustled around the table and took his seat between Frank Caprelli, the Head of Operations, and Rosalind Wingham, the Head of Marketing. He said a silent sorry to both and got smiles in return.Roy paused to whisper something in Camila's ear, and she nodded. Then Roy froze before stiffly walking over to his s

"New York," she clarified."Shit!" Roy snarled quietly. He looked to Camila again. "Why did he hurt you?""I suspected he was looking to expand into our territory, and I tried to talk him out of it, appealing to his reason especially considering the heightened tension globally, but he was too far gone in his dreams of conquest." She sighed as the next part was not going to go over well. "I told him he'd never take Manhattan as he wasn't strong enough.""WHAT THE FUCK?!? You directly challenged a Were?" Are you suicidal?" Roy snapped.Camila remained quiet as she held Roy's eye.He took deep, slow breaths to calm himself, eyes focused on the tabletop. Once he was collected again, he looked at her. "You obviously survived."She nodded. "I had to fight my way out, but Henry's gift made that possible. I was tempted to kill Carl--" She raised a hand at Roy's choking noise. "...but I wasn't sure what that would do to his pack.""It wouldna be good!" Roy stressed. "They need a leader, and it

Mahati smiled gratefully and nodded to the big redhead. "Thank you. It will be a learning experience for both of us. I'm sure Henry will appreciate the guidance I can provide."Camila gave Roy a puzzled look but schooled her expression when she caught the twinkle in the redhead's eye. "Y-yes, thank you, Mahati."Sigrid was still bristling as she watched the smiling lawyer stand and leave the room.When the door was closed again, the tall blond turned on Roy. "What the hell?!?"Roy chuckled and held up his hands in defense. "Have you no eyes in your head?" he teased. "The woman was going all gooey when she snuck looks at Henry in the meeting. Now, she's taking an active interest in his well-being. That's a far cry from the attitude she presented on her first day when she attempted to kill him. I do feel better about her protecting him in Washington."It was Camila's turn to chuckle as she stared at Roy in delight. "Who is this man, disguising himself as VRL's brusque Head of Security?

Blane frowned. "Look who's calling me a monster.""But you are a monster! You're certainly not human. You're like the one in the zoo."Another shock went through Officer Blane. It could see through his glamor! Also, he'd heard what happened to the guard in the zoo. The way this creature was drooling, he realized that was going to be his fate as well.He felt so incredibly sleepy and weak from blood loss but struggled to remain awake. He looked to the hall, his thoughts begging his partner to hurry.Then came the tugging and spots of searing pain, which quickly numbed. He looked back and saw the beast tearing into his chest to rip out his organs. It chewed and grinned at him as it swallowed. His consciousness began to recede, but he saw its facial burns begin to fade before everything went dark.-=-Roger feasted on the organs inside the big police officer until he couldn't swallow any more. His injuries were healing nicely, and the pain from them was receding as well.Only when he san

Henry took a deep breath. He didn't want to have a child when he was this torn up about the child he already had, but he couldn't let Yuko slip into madness if he could prevent it. "I don't even know if it will work. Tish and Mahati are putting a lot of faith in the precise nature of my glamor. They believe the desires of my partner will be sufficient to eliminate the magic contained within... my stuff.""They did say they had a way to confirm it," Marisa suggested."Yes, a trial run. I'm... probably going to go speak with Yuko soon to see when she'd like to try."Marisa did her best to hide the smirk, but he caught the rapid expression change. "What?"She took a moment to compose herself. "You might wish to phrase that a little more delicately. Add a little romance." Her grin finally broke through her control, and he rolled his eyes."Okay. I get it. But in my defense, I don't know how I even feel about Yuko. As you're well aware, she's tried to kill me on a couple of occasions," he

She looked up at the building and admired the architecture. Turning her head in either direction, she smiled as this was close to some of her favorite shopping areas. She had good memories here.Lorelei realized she was procrastinating, so she stepped up to the doors and walked inside. She glanced up at the high ceiling in the lobby and approached the reception desk, and a pretty, young woman looked up and smiled at her."Hi, I'm Lorelei Reichenbach. I have an appointment with Greg Wilson." She realized she was about twenty minutes early. She supposed this would be their first test, how they reacted to her poor timekeeping."Certainly, let me call him for you. One second," the receptionist said.She spoke quietly into her phone, then hung up and smiled at Lorelei. "Greg will be down momentarily. Would you like to have a seat?" She gestured to some comfortable looking chairs.Lorelei nodded and moved over to sit and watch the traffic crossing the lobby. The people, employees she assume
