Alex's POVWe made our way back home hand-in-hand, cracking jokes and talking about what would change in Jacke's life now that he was my Luna. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but he needed to know that he would need to be more careful about his lifestyle; Acting more in the shadows and not trying to cause a scene everywhere he went. He took it shockingly well, going so far as to explain that it wouldn't be difficult to make those kinds of changes with the decades upon decades worth of resources he'd built up."It won't be a drastic change, from the sounds of it, it would just mean that I'd have to do less of the leg work and live a more peaceful life by your side," He said squeezing my hand, and I would've been lying if I said that my heart didn't skip a beat."What did I ever do to deserve you, Pup?""Do I need to make a list? I think the most potent reason would probably be that you exist," He said chuckling as we made our way up the trail back home. It took a lot of willpower to
Jacke's POVI woke up the next day with Alex holding on to me with an iron grip, it looks like I wasn't getting out the easy way this morning. I grabbed her hand and kissed it trying to loosen her grip on me so I could stand up and start my day, but she wouldn't budge. With a little struggle, I turned around to look her in the face as she started waking up."Pup, it's early, go back to sleep," She groaned when she saw me looking up at her with a stupid-looking grin, I knew it was early in the morning but I had way too much energy to just sit still."I don't want to go back to sleep though, I have too much energy to sit still, Alex," I said as I wiggled around trying to get free, to no avail. She wouldn't let me go as easy as she did yesterday, even if it were so she could sleep in."You're not getting up anytime soon, you're going to sit here and accept my love, Nerd. Besides, it'll be more peaceful for food if we let the morning crew get their grub first," She said as I cuddle back i
Jacke's POVAs I continued showing Pete around the basement, answering his questions as they came, I realized that I had come a long way since the times when I first placed these items here. If you had asked me a century ago if I would be willing to show this room to anyone outside my family, I would've choked you with your own hands for asking a stupid question. Yet, here I was, showing Pete these artifacts from my past as if I had known the man my whole life. We continued going through the room with many questions asked and answered, and finally arrived at the most recent artifacts I had stored down here."This is the sword that belonged to a nobleman I had killed a decade or so ago, he had a significant bounty on his head, and I was bored that day. I grabbed two of my family members, got in one of my trucks, and flew out to Europe; He had been abusing his money and political influence to further his ends, without any care in the world for how it had affected his 'subjects'," I said
Laying on my bed at six in the morning because I couldn't sleep was how I started my day, but it picked up pace pretty quickly. I got up and walked to the kitchen, everyone else was asleep so I could cook and listen to music without getting harassed to "turn it down". I grabbed a pound of beef and a carton of eggs from the fridge and turned on the stove, cooking was a way for me to focus and think even if I got teased by my friends because it's "not what a demon would do". After thirty minutes I had a beef, egg, and onion hash with two pieces of toast and a can of Johnny's homemade Cola, the guy can drive a big rig and make a mean Cola, so I gave him a section of the basement to mass-produce it for me and the rest of the family. "Well well, who's up at the crack o' dawn?" "Yeah yeah, couldn't fuckin sleep, so what?" I replied to Johnny with a mouthful of Hash in my mouth "Why're you up early, couldn't sleep after riding yo daddy for an hour last night?" I knew he had a daddy kink an
We had stopped at a motel a few hours later to sleep, you know the ones you wouldn't trust with anything but maybe a meth deal? Yeah, it was one of those shit holes. We pulled in and parked the truck in the back, and Jack summoned our dog, Jameson, he's a hell hound, to guard the truck. We got into our room and Johnny fell asleep instantly after falling on his bed, I grabbed a blanket and took off my jacket and used it, with a pillowcase, as a pillow so that Jack could use the other bed, and after thirty, give or take, minutes he passed out too. I couldn't sleep, it was midnight so I stood up, took my jacket out of the pillowcase, and threw it on before stepping outside for a walk, I locked the door and immediately felt a cold wind blow and make my face numb. I shifted forms so my entire body was ablaze, and I walked towards the truck to check on Jameson. When I got to the truck I saw that J was asleep with a dart in his ass, 'that can't be comfortable' I opened a portal to hell and c
When we got to Mesa, we stopped at a hotel and Nicki took out a map of Arizona, and we started talking about strategies for the attack on the cartel, and the base south of Phoenix. Jack and Johnny thought it would be a good idea to divide and conquer, the three of us take on the cartel, and Nicki and Jade start the fight with the Military, making sure not to kill too many, if any, of them while making their ways towards the trucks. Nicki and Jade thought it would be better if we worked as a unit, taking on the cartel, then storming the military base, killing anyone that got in the way of the trucks. I vetoed both ideas, they were both decent plans, but they both had their flaws that were pretty obvious."Priests...and tanks," I mentioned, I was tired and didn't want to spend more time in Mesa than I had to, so I drew a small battle plan. I'd call Alexandria and find out if she was serious about giving us a hand, and see what we could do from there. I stepped outside and told them to r
We met next to the cab and Johnny looked like he was about to pass out, so I did what any rational, logic-using, friend would do to help a panicked friend relax...I slapped him silly."Ow, OW, OWW! STOP!" He yelled after 3 slaps, and Jack chuckled beside me, looking at Alexandria in a way that made me want to talk to him later."You calm now, poof?""Yes, listen if you're serious about doing this, you have to be careful. Those hunters she was talking about? They're the most ruthless gang of demon hunters in the world, the leader has gone so far as to rape those he likes." That made Jack flare up, and I wasn't far behind him, rape was a sensitive subject for both of us, and we didn't let those that did it, or god forbid enjoyed it, get off with a warning. My hair and eyes were ablaze and I grabbed Johnny by the collar and told him to get home and fast, I told the rest of the gang to go back to the hotel, and that I'd meet up with them when I was done. When they left, Dylan and Mark had
"What do you mean you 'Got some help'?""You know Alexandria? Alpha of a certain well-known pack in the west?""Mhmm, I had a run-in with one of her yapping beanies babies a while back," Jack and I laughed at that, if you could only give Derek credit, for one thing, it was that he was good with insults."Yeah, she lent us a hand cuz we helped her out with something.""A raid?""Yeah, why?""That was my first guess, just keep your eyes on her, I don't want to hear about how y'all died on your way back here," Derek said and hung up, I mumbled something along the lines of Jack eyeing Alex whenever she isn't looking and got another sock to the jaw because of it."Shut up, cunt nugget.""Very original insult my friend, very original," I said and started eating my burger, just in time for the waitress to swing by with Jack's steak, she set the bill down and took my glass to refill my drink. We finished our food and I paid for the grub, remembering to tip thirty percent for her humor, and we
