“Sorry, sir, there is one more thing—Agent Hansen. He wasn’t with the others at the temple,” said Dutch.“Oh, I guess you were too busy to hear. The National Guard caught him and four other mercenaries just outside of Phoenix after the Thunderbird attack. They’re all in custody now.”“Good,” said Dutch. “Thank you, sir.”He turned and headed out the exit.Hunt walked back to observe the team dissecting Isaac . The body was still lying on the table, appearing mostly untouched with only a few minor incisions.“Why haven’t you begun yet?” asked Hunt.“We have, we’re just switching instruments,” said Dr. Bryant. “His skin is really thick, and getting the scalpels through it is proving to be quite difficult. Not to mention the micoaz atl in his blood is dissolving our metal instruments.”He pointed to what was left of a scalpel he had thrown in a glass container. The blood was still dissolving it.“We’re switching to laser instruments.”Once they made the switch, Dr. Bryant cut out a secti

As I skillfully maneuver through the forest, silence surrounds me.As I move closer to the source, I can taste the faint scent of smoke on my tongue.My hand is put on the knife on my thigh.There is a strong rotting smell that almost makes me vomit as I get closer.As I steel myself, I begin to breathe through my mouth.That smell is not pleasant.It's filthy and has a gloomy odor.While a faint sensation of nerves touches my feet, my heart beats slowly;urging me to flee.Once I locate the smell's source, I nearly vomit.The young woman's body is lying on the ground.A cut on her head is causing her blonde waves to turn crimson.To mask the stench, a small fire that is currently dying has been started.She has lifeless skin that is almost transparent, indicating that something is missing.The evidence and the way out are the bite marks on her neck.She lost all of her blood to something.She has broken her nails and is covered in blood and mud, indicating that she could not continue the fight.Her

I withdraw from the gathering and remain hidden.Where is this wild animal?I'm looking for a man who is more than just incredibly handsome.Ferals can transform into the things their victims are drawn to.The majority of lycans are drawn to beauty.That thought nearly makes me cry out loud.I'm thinking broadly once more.I received better education.Kate, who is the beta's daughter, is unhappy about being paired with the alpha's son for the season.Since I arrived, I've heard rumors that Kate loves stories and is always with her friends.Which friends do she have?As I search for a smaller crowd than the one currently encircling the alpha's son, I scan the crowd.She would without a doubt be as far away from him as possible.I can make out a specific group of girls who would love to succeed Kate.Maybe...I dismiss that idea.I cannot participate in their duties or rituals.I nearly lost my head the last time.What draws Kate to you?She does not appear to place a high value on beauty or status in
The Special People Chapter 62
After another hour, we walk into quite the scene. A man with a red hood attached to his leather chest armor has his arms folded, watching as the man I had spoken with earlier speak to another. The hooded man’s silver eyes are annoyed. I can just make out his charcoal colored hair. It’s familiar and always kept in his shaggy spiked way. The man from earlier has copper hair that is a bit unkempt. His grey eyes are penetrating as he glares at the other one. The other one has blonde wavy hair down to his chin. His golden eyes glitter against his tanned and muscled skin. He looks more amused than anything.“I figured I’d run into you at some point Leo,” I say as I come closer to the fully dust corpse.He nearly jumps as Wilson gives a growl, warning him to stay away. “What are you doing here?” Leo demands, nearly losing his hood as he whips his head towards me.“I’m not the one who’s encroaching on my turf,” I say as I bend down and examine the dust pile.“I wouldn’t,” The blonde man warns

I wave him off. “I’ll be fine. However, I’d keep an eye on your heir. If he went after Morgain, who we thought was the heir, he’ll go after Silas next.”Alier shakes his head. “For his safety, no one outside of his mothers, siblings, and I, knew he existed.”“I knew he existed.” I say. “Well, his name anyway.”“But not what he looked like.” Alier counters.“Please verify that no one knows him.” I say. “What do people know him as?”“A member of the royal guard.” Alier says. “He’s Leo’s subordinate, which is why he’s with Leo most of the time.”“Then I’ll keep that pretense.” I ignore the boys eyes as I turn fully to face Alier. “Since I’m unclear the direction these attacks will go now, I’ll need to resume my investigation again. It’s best I leave tonight to get a jump start on this.”Alier’s face goes straight to amused. “And miss the ball?”“A sacrifice I must make,” I say quickly, getting ready to take my leave.“Nope,” Alier says, taking my hand. “Ileen would be devastated if you l

“Isaac ,” She warns. “Humor me.” I groan while she adds on, “And don’t even think about going back into that water.” She quickly leaves the room after giving me a piercing stare. Silas is wearing a red robe, looking more uncomfortable than I am annoyed.He rubs the back of his head. “So…why isn’t Wilson going for my head this time?”“You were with Leo.” I explain, touching my slimy tail, watching it shrink. It takes longer than my arms, since my legs have grown and molded together. It’s a reaction that happens when I go into the water. Air destroys my webbing and scales, while water makes it expand.“What is it with you two?” He asks, coming to sit next to me.“Well, one, he slept with my sister while we were dating. And two, he told my parents that I was enrolling with the Guardian Committee full time.” I flip my wet hair, a little annoyed it’s only halfway dry. When you’re part fish, everything dries fast.“Why is being with the Guardian’s a bad thing?” Silas asks, looking intrigued

I tense, hoping I can finally get my answers on who he is; but force myself to appear relaxed. “Do you know what he looked like? Where he went?”She shakes her head, putting her hand on her forehead; hidden under a partial sun mask. “Oddly enough, I don’t know. I can only recall his name. It’s not common these days so it stuck in my mind.”More amnesia? “Are you sure? Do you know if he had a scar?”“Who dear?” She asks, her posture changing, appearing more as if she’s gossiping at a party instead of discussing her son’s potential murderer.“Mike ,” I say, shooting Alier a concerned look.She waves me off. “I’ve never heard that name before. Alier, where is Morgain? You promised you had news.” She pushes me out of the way, stepping closer to Alier. “Where is my son Morgain?”“Miyla, Morgain passed away.” Alier says, surprise evident in his voice.“What?” She yells, drawing attention as she starts hysterically sobbing.“Mi…” Ileen says, looking at me, unsure what to do.When more eyes a

He pours the red liquor into a thin glass. I take the flute glass as I lean in, kissing him on the cheek. “I’ll be back.” I promise him in a low, seductive voice. If they want to throw me into a room filled with horny men, then I can play this game. I’m nowhere near the only female here, but I plan to make it feel as if they wish I wasn’t even allowed in this room.The second I turn around, I see Alier and Ileen walking down the stairs, with a limping Leo and concerned looking Silas. Maybe I stomped on Leo’s foot one too many times. Nah. Alier locks eyes with mine, stopping in the middle of the stairs. He clears his throat, eye contact never breaking. The glare I’m giving him could be lethal.Alier claps his hands. “Welcome my friends, to the Solstice Masquerade Ball. It warms my heart to see so many of you that I know, and love, gathered into one room. I would also like to announce with great sadness that Prince Morgain will be unable to attend tonight. He is engaged in some other co

If there is a chance behind that cold wall he is capable of feeling rejection, I don’t really want him to feel it from me. I don’t want to be the one who gave up. I will be careful, but right now I want him to know I want to try.So, I reach out and grasp his hand in mine.He smiles sleepily. “Much better”“You know his lips look a little cold too”“Levi!” Isaac grumbles.“I thought I was the wing man?” Levi shrugs.Isaac doesn’t look that upset... I think I might even see a hint of a smile as I chuckle at the two of them. Soon Isaac leans his head back again and falls asleep.I’ll just hold his hand a little longer.-May“She is gonna be here any minute” I mumble against his lips as they tease mine.My mate responds by groaning in protest and pulling me closer causing me to giggle.It’s not like I wasn’t already crammed against him in the small play house that rests just inside the woods behind Robert’s parents’ home.I typically have higher standards for make-out locations.

“Alright party people, lets get this show on the road!” I giggle nervously and nod before chancing a glance behind at Isaac . He meets my eyes looking tired but other wise emotionless. I eye him narrowly with a glare and let my frustration flood the link between us, unsure if he was even paying attention through that thick wall of his.Turning I adjust myself in my seat and pull out my phone to keep me busy on the drive.I had been working on my linking while my family was still here but with them gone and me not yet being a part of Isaac and Levi’s pack – if I ever become apart of it- I was unable to practice or use the link for the last few days. Only Isaac would be able to talk to me now and we both have been avoiding that.I imagine that the link or bond I have with Isaac works in a similar way to a pack link, and I could learn to keep him out if I try. I don’t get how I have started to be able to keep my thoughts to myself in wolf form but Freddy, Chris and Alpha Cold heart ca

I chose not to make eye contact with Isaac as he is wheeled out of the make shift hospital. I had just finished loading up a few things in the car to make this trip easier.It has almost been a week since he was poisoned but the recovery has been slow. Isaac still spends most of his time sleeping and it frustrates him to be so weak. The slightest activity seems to make him tired.It frustrates ME that he is a stubborn ass.My mate has spent his every waking moment pushing himself by dealing with pack business and trying to get out of bed. I took pity on him the first night he had ripped his IVs out and caused a commotion, now I know I shouldn’t have.He has been such a handful. Willfully disregarding Greta’s orders to the point that I was on board when she threatened to strap him down two days ago.Boy did that Idea go over well.Lucky for Isaac Levi took pity on him and talked us down.I roll my eyes remembering how ridiculous he was being yelling at us to stop babying him and hol

I squeeze my eyes shut, willing more power to be put into the spell, “Summer wood and deity ties, bring these lines to boundaries defined. Expand this protection with the flow of desired correction. Right to what has been outlined.”I hear Silas shout and Wilson growl. I start shouting the spell. “Summer wood and deity ties, bring these lines to boundaries defined. Expand this protection with the flow of desired correction. Right to what has been outlined.”“Stop Isaac !” Mike begs. “You can’t stop this spell.“Stay away from her,” Silas orders.“Please!” He screams as he begs.I feel the thunder shake the ground, and I open my eyes in enough time to see lightning strike the center of the anchor in the ward as it shatters. The earth turns black and spreads out from under me, killing the trees and grass within a mile of us.I pant as my hands clench the dead earth. Sweat has beaded on my forehead, and I try to catch my breath as the boys struggle behind me. I get to my feet very shaki

I give Mike my wrist, my blood still freely flowing. “Squeeze my blood onto each paper and say; Deliver these to Goddess Kaelish, protector of Linru. Bring what’s true in this discovered news.”He gives me a questioning look, and I didn’t miss that his neck is tense. “Why?”“Because I can’t.” I motion to my bonds.He gives me a cautious look, trying to determine if he can trust me. “Why?”“You literally have me chained to a bed, just trust me.” I say, glaring at him.Mike follows my instructions, nearly jumping out of his skin as the pages start smoking. “What are you doing Isaac ?”“Relax,” I say, the flames turning turquoise, signaling they’ve been received. When Kaelish accepts them, the flames dissipate, leaving the pages in their original state. I hand them back to him. “There, now it’s in Kaelish’s hands.”“How much magic do you actually know?” Mike asks, looking me over as if he’s seeing me for the first time.I shrug. “Almost everything. I can’t speak the original spells, b

When I find them, huddled behind Isongarth’s statue, they are clearly talking about me. I’m in no mood to explain myself, though I really should tell Silas about Alier. That can wait until after my very much needed nap.I ignore their conversation and surprised expressions as I sit down cross legged next to Silas. Skipping past looking at them, slightly annoyed they’re talking about me, I pull out a sariah petal and wipe it against one of my bloody wounds. I lay it next to me and bring a trail of salt to it, linking the other spells. I look to Leo. “Repeat after me.”After he nods, I prick my finger and pour seawater over the new wound, right over the sariah petal I had just placed, chanting as I pour. “Summer wood and deity ties, bring these lines to boundaries defined. Expand this protection with the flow of desired correction. Right to what has been outlined.”Leo starts copying me, touching my heart with his hand, flowing my power with his. “Summer wood and deity ties, bring these

“I will see you again. I will find out what you’re up to Isaac . I didn’t know you knew this much about magic, so it’s going to take me a minute.”“I’m more than the girl that you keep trying to sink your teeth into.” I tell him, walking away from him. “I know more than fighting.”“Wait,” He grunts, trying to sit up. “Did you really know Elayna?”I look behind me, trying to keep my face cold. I hold up my hand and wipe off some blood from my wrists. I point to the healed dainty fang marks. “For two years I kept her alive with my blood. Every second of every day we were together. She was a sister to me, and I miss her terribly. Her death nearly destroyed me. I knew everything about her, except for most of her family. I knew she had brothers, but nothing more than that. She would shut down and close herself off whenever that topic was broached, and I knew it was because she was purposely distancing herself so not to hurt them.“Before you ask, she never did tell me about you.

Well, I’m dead anyway. I walk into his room to quickly skim through his books. Nothing here can tell me what blasted spell he’s using. I need to think. Something here has to help me escape. I’ve read all of these books! I kick his bed as I try to think. Think Isaac , I shout internally as I try to slow my breathing. I kick his bed again and here a thump. I look under the bed and see Yvanna’s book. It was tucked underneath his mattress, pinned by a board. I grab it and tuck it into my bag as I try to think. I mean outside of using forbidden magic.Several hours later I’m still at a loss and trapped in this god forsaken room. The windows are sealed. His bedroom door is now locked. The only thing I can go into, is his adjoining bathroom. My head is resting against the warm wall while I sit on his surprisingly warm floor. I keep hitting my head against the wall as I try to think. Maybe if I pretend to be here waiting for him, like a loving mate, then he’ll let me off the hook. Nah.I hear
