Stepping out of the building into the blinding light, Thomas squinted against the sun before fitting a pair of sunglasses over his eyes. He got behind the wheel of his truck with a huff. This life is not the life he would have chosen for himself. He longed for his undercover identity to be his only identity. To not have to work for the same people his father was a slave to, but he had no choice in the matter.There had been many nights and days he warred with himself to tell his wife the truth about his life after he was adopted out of the same orphanage as Cilyna. His marriage was built on lies that keep him up too many nights. Their children were not part of the plan yet he fell in love with them."Love is weakness, Thomas. If you love, you are vulnerable. If you have weakness, you will die." his father's words echoed in his memory.Thomas slammed his hands onto his steering wheel in anger. Cursing his own father for his current situation. Why could he not have been stronger when hi
Kaynon sat at the opposite end of the ice cream shop eating a hot fudge sundae, quite slowly as he observed the trio sharing a huge banana split. He had asked the waitress for their bill and to buy them all a shake of their choice togo, paying his at the same time yet asking to remain anonymous. The look of surprise on her face when the waitress explained that their ice cream had been paid for sent sparks of joy through his heart. He left before they did, only to shift and follow them home.Kaynon watched as they went inside. A soft scent so faint passed his nose which he dismissed. She paused briefly at the door with a look of confusion on her delicate features, looking around as if she could sense him watching her yet not too sure that her instincts were right. His ears perked up when her eyes landed on his, though he was well hidden from view. She exhaled deeply before disappearing through the door and closing it behind her with a soft click."Daddy, Daddy! Guess what happened at s
Kaynon's heart was racing, faster than it had ever beat out of his chest. Her scent lingered in his nostrils, sweet like honey. The heat from where her fingers had been wrapped in his fur slowly dissipated. Cilyna. The most beautiful name he had ever heard. He wanted so much more in that brief moment. Though he had to settle with their silent exchange for now.Until we meet again. He thought as she rounded the corner and disappeared from sight, but not before she turned to look for him. He finally felt hopeful, with that single backwards glance from her.Sleep came quickly for him, with images of his female fresh in mind. Her dark hair cascading around her face in thick waves, making her eyes a brighter green as they were locked onto his teasingly with a smile to make actors sigh with envy. Her skin a rich tan other women pay top dollar to imitate. She was glowing under the moon's soft light as it mimicked a personal spot light, while she danced in the field they were in just for him.
"Go outside and open your mind to me. Remember me, remember who you truly are." The voice echoed through her mind just as she sat down to drink her second cup of coffee. The voice startled her, she jumped, spilling a little of the precious liquid inside."I don't want to." She thought stubbornly, slowly sipping on her coffee.Suddenly she was struck with an intense pain beginning behind her eyes. Her cup shattered as it hit the floor, coffee covered the tiles as she grabbed her head, wincing and balling up into the fetal position. The pain spread to her torso. A cry of agony escaped her lips as she fell out of her chair to lay in the wasted caffeine and shattered glass."Go outside! Or we are going to make a bigger mess and you will have a harder time explaining things to the human you have claimed as your false mate." The voice roared angrily."Stop! Stop! It hurts, I can't move." Cilyna choked out between gritted teeth against the overwhelming pain that gripped her body.As suddenl
His paws beat against the dirt and freshly fallen leaves. Kaynon's heart soared with the thought of seeing his oblivious mate again. Images of her bright green eyes and long wavy, almost black hair brushing against her curvy hips, had his mind so muddled a tree root tripped him. He landed in a heap with a thud, though not even his little trip could get his mood down. After righting himself and shaking out his fur, he heard a howl of pain. Kaynon wanted to ignore the sound, yet his gut had him turning towards the creature. He found the pained creature lying on its side, twitching its huge black paws. He scented the air, it was female. Not only did he realize this heap of thick black fur was female, she was his mate in her wolf form. Suddenly he became very nervous, his paws frozen in place, his heart skipping beats and his breath caught in his throat. He slowly approached her. She whipped her head around in his direction after he unknowingly stepped on a twig. A deep monstrous growl
Kaynon kept to the shadows as he watched her walk this way and that, not knowing where she was going. He kept his distance, as she had demanded, though the more she seemed to struggle with her sense of direction the more he wanted to intervene. He wanted to tell her she was going the wrong way numerous times but did not want to let her realize he was still following her. It was not until the decision was forced that he made himself known to her again.A male vampire appeared out of no where, coming to a stop in front of her. She started to scream but the vile vermin quickly covered her mouth with one filthy hand over her mouth and the other cupping the back of her neck."Shhhhh my sweet pretty. I will not harm you." He cooed, his glowing red eyes staring into her's as he tried to hypnotize her into submission.Kaynon shifted, shredding his shorts, and with a running start leaped from his hiding place. The vampire released her, throwing her to the ground. Yet he was not fast enough to
"Thomas I'll be back in a little while." Cilyna called to her husband as she grabbed her keys off their hook by the front door."Are you going to get the kids?" He asked as he walked around the corner, drying his hands on a towel."No. I have to go talk to a person of interest in the case I'm working. Can you pick them up?""Yeah, I'll get them. So you've made a break through with your case?" He stepped further into the dinning room, closing the distance between them."Yes. I finally made a huge break. I just need to go talk to this person." She gave a small smile."Who is it?""Now, you know I can't tell you that. If I did I'd have to kill you." She chuckled lightly, as she walked up to him giving him a quick kiss before turning back towards the door. "I'll be back in a little bit.""Ok, becareful. I love you." He replied making her pause to glance back at him."I will. I love you too." Then she left, letting the door click shut behind her.Instantly her skin began to prickle and she
Sitting in her office, the ringing of the phone, placed at the corner of her desk, made her jump. She had been staring at the pictures again. Even going as far as to pin them up on her way map of the town as to where the bodies were found. Hey bulletin board was littered with post it notes with dates, times, and other significant details of each victim. Dropping the red twine she had been trusting strong each tack, she picked up the phone."Investigator Jones, how can I help you?" She spoke into the receiver, all professional and routinely."Cilyna, I need you to come down to Seventh Street. There's been another attack." The Chief of police's deep voice boomed through the ear piece."Yes, sir. I'm on my way." She threw the phone back onto it's cradle, grabbed her leather jacket and started for the door. As she passed the kitchen, headed for the front door, her husband stopped her."Supper is done, honey. Where are you going?" He said after noticing her jacket draped over her arm."Th
