I picked up my phone and called my best friend as I walked back to my office. I needed some down time right about now and although he probably wasn’t the best person to give me advice, he was the only one that would be brutally honest with me.“Hello,” he answered on the second ring.“I’m fucking screwed,” I said.“What else is new, what did you do this time?” Jasper asked me with a laugh.“Not over the phone, where are you?” I asked him.“At some hotel but I can meet you wherever,” he said.“I’ll be at that bar in an hour, you know the place where we had our first fight?” I said to him.“Man that was a fun night, see you soon,” he said and I ended the call.I grabbed my jacket and keys and headed outside to my car. I needed to get away before I did something stupid. I took my anger out on the road and I made it to Chicago in just under an hour. I sat down at the counter of the bar and ordered two drinks before taking a table in the back.“I see you started without me,” Jasper said as

I avoided talking to Rylee about the pregnancy and when she brought it up I changed the subject and after a while she stopped mentioning it. The blood tests confirmed she was four weeks along and I still had no idea how to process it.Days turned to another few weeks as I met Jasper once a week either in Chicago or at The Drake. We would drink and he would chase women as I drank some more. Some nights I went home and other nights I didn’t and Rylee never asked me what I did or where I went. I usually ended up sleeping on the couch in my office.My phone woke me at three am one morning just as I had fallen asleep on the couch in my office at The Drake and I sat up reluctantly and looked at the caller ID. I answered it hastily as I saw his name flash on the screen.“Timothy,” I said.“Hey,” he breathed sounding excited.“What’s going on?” I asked him.“The site’s active but it’s very hush hush almost nothing is being said on the main screen, instead it’s asking buyers to verify their id

I hadn’t made it further than the living room couch not wanting to see Rylee so I slept downstairs and regretted it in the morning. Baz still had me on ignore and I saw Rev on the other couch still asleep. I remembered then that Hannah had gone to visit her friend and he had probably gone out drinking.“Wake up,” I said as I kicked his leg and he sat up straight.“What time is it?” he asked me.“Nine am already,” I said to him. I couldn’t believe that we had slept that long or that Martha never woke us for breakfast.“Shit,” he muttered and stood up.“I’m going to go shower,” I said and headed up to my room.Rylee wasn’t there and I was thankful as I showered and dressed. I found Rev in the hallway and we made our way downstairs to the dining room and sat down as Martha looked sternly at us. Preston joined us after ten minutes still yawning.“Nice night out?” I asked and he grimaced.“My head’s still pounding,” he said.“You drink like a girl,” Rev said and I laughed.“I’m not keeping

I was worried, very, very worried. Nobody had been able to reach Hannah for two days and Rev looked like a walking corpse. We had tracked down her friend Michelle, who hadn’t heard from her in a month and she confirmed that Hannah had no plans to come and visit her. Hannah had lied to us and Rev swore that nothing had happened between them that would make Hannah leave. I believed him.“Where would she go?” I asked Rev as he sat on the couch looking like death.“I don’t know Lucas,” he said to me honestly.“She looked fine when I talked to her and she told me to my face she was going to visit Michelle,” I said to him.“Same here, she was herself,” he said to me.“We found her car!” Preston yelled as he barged into the office and Rev and I both jumped up.“Where?” Rev asked.“In lower Aurora,” he said.“The fuck,” Rev said.“Why would she go there?” I asked feeling confused.“Lucas! Lucas!” I heard Timothy yelling.“Timothy?” I asked as he also barged into my office looking like he’d se

Baz walked outside and separated from me as we neared the open area at the back of the house. He took a deep breath and blew it into my face. My eyes closed instantly and I was transported to the dragon realm.“Typhon,” I said as I saw the black tail flicking across the floor and bowed my head.“Sire Lucas host of Bazzoit,” he said in his deep voice.“My liege,” Bazzoit said and bowed his head.“Bazzoit, descendant of mine,” Typhon said.“We are but humble servants in your presence seeking permission to speak with you,” Baz said.“Permission granted,” Typhon breathed and he peered at me as his head moved out of the shadows.“We seek to trace a familial bond. Sire Lucas’s sister has been taken by degenerates and we need to find her,” Baz said.“Yes,” his voice hissed for a moment.“We request to use the magic of this realm to find her,” Baz requested.“Granted my child,” Typhon said.“Thank you,” I said with my head still bowed.“You are an intriguing one Sire Lucas, you fear your Elde

The next few days passed in a blur as Timothy practically moved into the house and helped with all the women next door. A few of them were severely traumatized and Stella worked closely with them as did Nadia. She shared her own ordeal with them and through her they started trusting us enough to share information and write statements.A few of the women had no lairs or families and they were integrated into our lair and Hannah found jobs for them in Aurora. The ones that were more traumatized were sent for counseling and Timothy worked closely with them. For some reason, the women really trusted him and we spent a lot of time piecing together the McIntyre network.Baz had made Carson’s dragon submit much to his irritation and we still held him in the basement. I would deal with him later. We had over twenty statements and video footage of the women testifying about the things that were done to them.They all knew Carson’s face and name and they mentioned several other names of men now

“Dragonkin of my lair, thank you for gathering with me tonight at such short notice,” I said as I stood in the front of the ballroom watching my people.My family stood to one side and Hannah was seething. Jennifer had been crying the entire day and they were all angry. Jasper wanted to be there but I asked him to stay away because I was afraid that he’d kill the Elders out of pure rage. I still needed them to grant me execution rights for Joseph and Carson McIntyre.“The Elders have requested your presence so that my punishment can be executed tonight and they want you all to bear witness to my humiliation. What they don’t realize is that this isn’t humiliating for me, I take these lashings proudly because I stand with my decision to turn Jennifer Halstead and make her a proper member of our lair,” I said and wild applause erupted.“Charming,” Elder James said as they stepped forward and my lair looked at them with disgust. Elder Gareth held the syringe of dragon venom that would del

“Coming!” she yelled at the knock on the door of her apartment.She opened the door and stood frozen as she looked at Hannah and Rev. Hannah smiled slightly and Rev just grunted as they all stared at each other.“Hello Rylee,” Hannah said.“How did you find me?” Rylee asked her.“I have friends,” Hannah shrugged.“Does Lucas know where I am?” Rylee asked.“No,” Hannah said, “can we come in?”“Sure,” Rylee said as she looked around.She opened the door wider and let Hannah and Rev enter. They walked through to the living room and Rylee showed them each a seat.“Something to drink?” Rylee asked.“Coffee for both of us,” Hannah said as they sat down.Rylee walked to the kitchen and absent-mindedly her hand went to her stomach. She was now almost four months pregnant and living in Joliet. She was slightly worried that Hannah had found her and she was itching with curiosity as to why they were here.“I assume this isn’t a friendly visit to see how I am,” Rylee said as Rev took the tray fro
