The Boss
Cadence looked at Eliza and Jamie in disbelief. “I thought he was, like, a shift manager or something, not like, the CEO.”
Eliza burst out laughing, and Jamie did his best to stifle a chuckle. “That’s hilarious!” Eliza said, though once she saw Cadence’s face, she attempted to control herself a little more.
“Oh, my gosh!” Cadence exclaimed. &ld

Cadence gasped. Her entire reality was being tipped on its head. “How is that possible? If you were a Hunter and he was the Guardian Leader, how could that have possibly happened?”Cadence could tell by Janette’s expression that she really wished to say no more. A glance at Jamie and Eliza showed nothing but concern for her grandmother.Janette had tears in her eyes, and sh
The Clandestine Saga Hunters and Guardians
Jamie took a deep breath before he began. “Basically, every Hunter and Guardian is born with a genetic code in their DNA which will activate one of a few ways. Back in the olden days, before we had the technology that we have today, it took several years for full conversion, unless the gene was extremely strong, such as in the case of your grandmother. She basically willed her way into becoming a Hunter and activated that coding within her genes. Clearly, you can see how it worked for you last night. You needed to accomplish certain tasks, so you did.” Once again, Cadence found herself nodding, though she wasn’t sure why. She still wasn’t allowing herself to consider what had happened to her last night.
The Clandestine Saga Waking Up
There is a small threshold of consciousness, somewhere between waking and dreaming, when one is not quite cognizant of all the waking world holds, nor has one quite lost the grip on those fleeting fragments of dreams that linger. For Cadence, this was the most dangerous and feared state of mind because she knew, even before she fluttered off to sleep that, upon waking, for just a brief synapse, she would, in fact, forget that Drew was gone. It was in that moment, just before fully rejoining the wakened world that her mind would momentarily allow her to believe that all was as it should be, and then, as the memories rushed in, filling the vacant tidepool of her conscious mind, so too would the realization that something was amiss, an occurrence had transpired. Just as the pounding waves crush and carve the
The Clandestine Saga Joining the Team
Despite the fact that she was completely annoyed that Aaron couldn’t at least let her come downstairs without bombarding her with requests to join the good fight, she caught herself glancing in the mirror over the dresser and straightening her long brown hair before she crossed to the door. Catching her breath, she pulled it open unsure of exactly how she knew it was Aaron. But she was certain.“Hi,” he said quietly, standing quite a few inches back from the door. She was surprised to see he was wearing jeans and a red long-sleeved T-shirt. She had just assumed that all Guard
The Clandestine Saga Sign Me Up
Aaron turned back to face her but seemed to purposely avoid looking directly into her eyes. Maybe he had noticed how anxious she became whenever she looked him in the eye, and this was one of his tactics to keep her calm. Staring at a spot on the wall a few feet away from her, he said, “Well, Holland has your card.” He laid it out for her in black and white. “She holds you personally responsible for Carter’s death—her mate of over a thousand years—and she wants to destroy you and your family.”He paused for a moment, giving the weight of his statement
The Clandestine Saga Transformation Gone Wrong
Over the last century or so, Jamie had transformed many Hunters and Guardians using the serum method. He had not originated the idea or developed the serum, but he had made many improvements to the procedure, and while Cadence was still extremely nervous, she felt assured that she was in the best hands possible.Cadence was lying in her pajamas on her grandmother’s guest bed, still a little stuffed from the Thanksgiving dinner they had thrown together. It didn’t have every dish one might imagine for the traditional holiday, but it was sufficient, and after the late football game ha
The Clandestine Saga Tired and Warm
Aaron thought he had located the same vein Jamie had just used. He lined the needle up and looked at Jamie, hoping to get some sort of indication that he was safe to proceed. From his vantage point, Jamie concurred that it looked like the placement was right. He slowly nodded his head just once, giving Aaron the motivation he needed to follow through. He felt the needle slide into her vein and breathed a sigh of relief. Slowly, he pushed down on the plunger, letting the medication flow into her body. As the last few drops exited the syringe, there was a collective exhale from those in observation. Aaron applied pressure to the injection site with a cotton ball and secured it with the Band-Aid. He continued to apply gentle pressure for a few more seconds until he was sure that the bleeding had st
The Clandestine Saga Powerful Body
Cadence didn’t awake from her medicated slumber in twenty-four hours as Jamie had initially predicted. In fact, it had taken over thirty-six hours for her to finally start to come around, and even with that it took another two hours before she could fully open her eyes or communicate. When she found out that it was Saturday afternoon, rather than Friday evening, she was stunned. But Jamie assured her that she was fine, everything had gone according to plan, and she was just unlike any patient he had ever Transformed, so she reacted slightly differently.She had stayed at her grandmother&
