"There you are," Xander said, opening the sliding glass door leading out onto the balcony. "I was looking for—" He followed my gaze and stopped mid-thought when he saw the man. "Who is that guy?""That's what I'd like to know." I looked up at Xander and shrugged. "I'm not sure, but I think he may be responsible for the clinic burning down, but I could be wrong." I didn't say that he could have been responsible for the deaths of my friends, although it was what I was thinking.Xander nodded once. "Come inside. I'll go check it out.""Xander, don't go alone." I went inside and locked the sliding glass door as he hurried toward the door.He shook his head. "I'm not. Just stay here and lock the door."I nodded once and locked the door behind him as he asked when he rushed out.After pacing for a while in my suite, I wondered if Elias had gone with him. There was only one way to find out, so I headed over to the sliding glass doors and looked out, keeping them locked.Xander, Elias, Cruz, R
Night Wolves Chapter 17: Intuition
We pulled down the long, circle driveway of Caprice Casino, which was actually a true castle and served as the main hotel. There were also outbuildings behind it, creating a spectacular courtyard."Wow! I would love to take a tour of the grounds some time," I said, my eyes wide. "Not today, but the next time we come back."Xander gave my hand a gentle squeeze. "We can arrange that. I'm sure Lance and Leila will be glad to give you a tour." He smiled appreciatively. "It really is quite spectacular."Elias held my other hand. "Are you ready for this?"I shrugged. "As ready as I'll ever be."When the limo pulled to a stop, a young man wearing a suit coat, jeans, and tennis shoes was waiting for us, along with several other men, all dressed in black suits with white shirts, resembling Secret Service Agents.Xander got out first and then he offered me his hand to help me out, and Elias got out on the other side. "Kellen," Xander said, shaking his hand. "Drake told me what happened. We came
Night Wolves Chapter 18: Welcome to the New World
I walked with Lance and he placed a protective hand on the small of my back, the perfect gentleman."My wife and I would like you, Xander, and Elias to join us for dinner tonight, if you decide to stay," he said, smiling. "You could meet our son, Jace.""You have a child?" We followed another person, whom I assumed was another vampire down a corridor, and then stopped at an elevator."Yes, Leila and I have a son," Lance replied, smiling, obviously proud. "He has his mother's coloring and good looks.""Wow," I said. Lance smirked. "What?"I shrugged. "I just find it interesting that a vampire could be a loving father.""And why's that?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. "Do you not think that a vampire is capable of love? Or could care for his family?""I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to offend. I've probably seen too many vampire films," I replied. "I guess that I wasn't aware that vampires could even have children, other than in Twilight."Lance chuckled. "We can... with human moth
Night Wolves Chapter 19: Crash Course in the Ways of This World
When we walked into the conference room, Lance stood. "Are you sure you want Kalyssa to hear this?""Yes, of course," Xander said, letting me go into the room first."Mr. Steel," I said, heading toward a chair. "This concerns me as much as it does the rest of you.""Indeed." Lance laughed, holding a chair for me. "You remind me so much of my wife. She's feisty, too, just like you."Once everyone was seated, Lance folded his arms on top of the table and looked over at Xander. "So, did Rory or Casen tell you anything?"Xander nodded. "As you know, Kalyssa's clinic was attacked and two of her employees were killed, but they were human. Thank goodness, Kalyssa wasn't there." Xander shook his head. "And in the newspaper, there was a murder that had all the earmarks of a witch execution. And now the attack here at your casino."Lance nodded. "So, are you saying what I think you're saying?""When we were interrogating Rory and Casen, I discovered that they both were from the Silver Pack in Or
Night Wolves Chapter 20: For Better or For Worse
Leila looked at me, her eyes filled with concern. "So, do you have any idea who's attacking the castle?"Sitting on the edge of my seat, I let out a deep breath. "Members of Nightshade."Leila tilted her head to the side. "Nightshade?""Supernatural Hunters." Leila nodded. "Yes, Lance told me there were here and not to leave the castle.""They're hunting every supernatural creature they can find." I crossed my legs, folding my hands on top of my knees.Leila rubbed her very pregnant stomach, her eyebrows pulling together in concern. "I can't they're here." Then it dawned on me that I shouldn't be upsetting her like this. She was pregnant with a supernatural child, after all, and had enough to worry about."I'm sure it's nothing." I waved my hand dismissively. "So, how are you feeling?"She scoffed, raising an eyebrow. "Please, don't downplay anything because I'm pregnant. If something is coming for us, I need to know."I nodded, letting out a deep breath. "Sorry. I just didn't want t
Night Wolves Chapter 21: No Way Out
"Drive!" Elias growled to the driver as he and Xander strapped me into the backseat between them."Let me go!" I yelled, fighting against the seatbelt restraints, suddenly short of breath. "You know this is kidnapping. Right?" I slipped out of the restraints and reached over Xander to open the door, but we were going too fast for me to jump out.Xander grabbed me and pulled me back in. "Are you crazy?" He set me back hard in the seat and strapped me in again. "You could have been killed!""Take. Me. Home!" I yelled, kicking at the back of the seat."Pull over!" Elias said, holding my wrists in an effort to keep me calm."Yes, sir," the driver said.Elias shoved my hands toward Xander. "Here! Hold her!"Xander took my wrists with ease, holding me while Elias fumbled around for something. Then it dawned on me: He was a doctor and he was rummaging through his medical bag. Then he held up a hypodermic needle and a small bottle with clear liquid inside."Do not give me anything—"All of a s
Night Wolves Chapter 22: Crazy Train
The next day, I spent a lot of time alone in my suite, which I didn't mind. It gave me time to think about the future and the present, and what I wanted.That afternoon, there was a knock on my door. When I opened it, what looked to be a team of people was standing there, armed to the teeth with blow dryers and small duffle bags."Hello," a woman said, tilting her head to the side. Even though she was young, she had white hair artfully done into a twist and a figure to die for. "You must be Kalyssa." She started to barge in, but I held up my hand, stopping her."And who are you?" Until I got to know everyone in the pack, I wasn't taking any chances. Not after what we had just gone through at the castle.She smirked. "I'm Daphne, your designer and clothing coordinator, and this is Raphael on hair, Cassy on nails, and Symphony on feet," she said as if she were announcing the Spring Training Lineup at Cardinal Stadium. Then she held her arms out and smiled. "We're your Glam Squad Dream Te
Night Wolves Chapter 23: Golden Chains
"There!" Daphne looked me over when they were finished. She took my hands and held them out to the side, regarding me as if I were a masterpiece, a work of art on mere canvas, instead of a person. "Lovely! A true Luna! All of you should be commended! Good work!" Then she lowered my hands and leaned in conspiratorially. "Try not to muss my creation before the presentation. Umm?""I'll do my best." I smirked. For two cents, I would have snorted or wiped my nose across my arm just to be smart, but I didn't want to hurt the feelings of the others. Instead, I turned to my Glam Squad. "Thank you all. You did a wonderful job."Raphael took my hand and kissed it. "You are truly a queen."I nodded, smiling. "Thanks. It's very kind of you to say.""Don't believe me?" he asked, smiling as he pulled me toward the full-length mirror. "Take a look."In the mirror, I saw the reflection of someone I didn't recognize. My golden blonde hair was pulled up into an elegant updo with a few loose curls spill
