The Pack's Dragon Time to Leave
Rideten, Present Time“I can’t tell you how much I detest you using your ability on me,” Philip told Aislen stiffly as he finished buttoning his shirt ignoring Toby’s departure.Aislen heard the of thud of the bedroom door closing. She knew from Toby’s thoughts that he planned to pack his bag and leave. Ironically, like when she had left Rideten five years before, he had automatically picked the furthest city he could think of: Kabramatta. She wondered if she should offer him her apartment to stay in and ask him to water her house plants… Probably not the best idea.“Did it hurt to take your shirt off?” Aislen replied absently. “No. And it solved the problem, didn’t it?”“Hmph,” Philip sneered. “Whatever.” He took out his phone, and Rhett’s beeped a moment later. “That is the location where we are to meet Victor’s people. We should get going.”Aislen shook her head. “You go ahead and tell them we’ll be a little late. There’s some stuff we need to take care of here first.”Philip arche
The Pack's Dragon Dragon Flight
Rideten, Present TimeSamuel pulled himself off the wall. He had been standing closer to Ember before her last attempt to shift had produced an explosion of flame and smoke, pushing him back into to the building. The wings her shift had produced were amazing, but they were not dragon wings, and not the wings that she had possessed before the Van Helsings had cut them from her."Are you alright?" He asked her in consternation. He could feel the sweat beading on his forehead as he drew close, the sting of the saltwater in his eyes as the droplets caught in his eyelashes on their passage down to his cheeks.“There is no pain,” she was as shocked by the development as he was. “The flames do not burn me.”He reached out carefully but could not touch the flames. They burnt as hot as dragon flame. “They do not burn me, but I can feel their heat,” he told her. “Flaming wings… That was… not what I expected.”“Me either,” she looked at him wild-eyed. “Do you suppose that I could…”“Yes,” he fol
The Pack's Dragon Meguitte the Monster
Havermouth, Present Time“I don’t understand,” Meguitte said quietly to the spider-web bound Bianca as she watched Connery, Verina, and Mercy finish off with clearing out the house. Verina and Mercy both had contented expressions and so she suspected that a couple of the occupants of the house had disappeared, devoured, and then disintegrated by the powder that Leighton’s family used to clean up their messes. “Aislen is your friend. Why would you work against her like this?”“We’re not working against her,” June Barnham protested. Connery had tied her to the fence by her wrists and she was twisted at an awkward angle to talk to Meguitte. “We are working ultimately for her. We all want to win this war.”“You don’t believe that.” Meguitte said to Bianca. “Do you?”Bianca had not stopped weeping, the seep of tears seemingly without end. “You don’t understand. You don’t understand at all.”“Have you conspired against her all along?” Meguitte wondered. There was something about the level o
The Pack's Dragon Talen’s Shift
Rideten, Present TimeIt did not take long before the werewolves sent someone to investigate why Aislen and her mates had invaded one of the houses that were used as secret entrances to the bunker below. The pair of casually dressed soldiers nonchalantly entered the front living room and looked around at them. “Can we help you?”Aislen glanced over her shoulder at them. They were clever these two, she thought, and if she wasn’t able to read their thoughts, she might have thought that she’d interrupted the human owners of the house working on their renovations. But she could read thoughts and knew that they’d been sent from below in response to their appearance on the monitoring equipment situated around the house.“We’re just going to hang here for a couple of hours until it gets dark,” she told them. “We have an errand, and then we’ll be off to meet Victor’s people. So just ignore us, and we’ll all be fine.”As the soldiers withdrew, Cameron pulled a face. “I guess that means we can’
The Pack's Dragon Aislen and Heath, Blood and Gore
Rideten, Present TimeThe dragons were surprised by Aislen’s request, but quickly saw the sense behind it. The Van Helsings would not be expecting an attack from above. They were human, and thought and planned according to human limitations, so they were expecting an attack from the road or on foot. Or at least, that was what Aislen was hoping as she held tight to Ember, and she took to the sky.“I’m heavy,” Aislen apologized. It was evident that it had taken Ember some effort to get off the ground. Aislen was also wary of the fire dragon’s wings. They put off a lot of heat, causing Aislen to break out in sweat. She wasn’t keen to find out whether they were hot enough to burn her.“I’m just…” Ember was straining. “Muscles have not been used in a long time, and I’m still weak from my injuries and time as a prisoner.”“You’re being kind,” Aislen said with honesty. “Things have gotten curvier than ever with me recently, despite all the exercise. I probably weigh more than Heath.” She cou
The Pack's Dragon Time to Swallow
Rideten, Present TimeRhett tilted his head back and squinted into the dark sky. He could just make out the outline of Heath and Samuel overhead. A distant glint might or might not be Aislen and Ember. Shit they were high if it was them. It made him queasy just to think of it. When they’d decided who would be flown in and who would enter on foot, it hadn’t even been a question that he was going in on foot.He hoped the dragons didn’t drop his mates.He refocused on the job ahead of him. He was crouched in the trees of the landscaping around the Van Helsings’ headquarters. Although they gave the impression of vigilance in their guards and patrols, it was all show. The soldiers were sloppy, their attention more on their phones than the streets.The Van Helsings had been in Rideten for weeks, and with the community support, they were the dangerous ones, not the ones that needed to fear, so the vigilance had relaxed into routine, and the soldiers were doing the minimal.Good for him, Rhet
The Pack's Dragon Talen’s Time Out
Rideten, Present TimeTalen paused in the doorway as a pair of Van Helsing soldiers passed through the hallway beyond. They did not look his way as they passed by the open door. If they had they might have noticed the two bodies that he held by the collars of their uniform and the destruction of the security monitoring room behind him, the third guard on duty lodged still through one of the screens.He was prepared to kill them should even a stray glance fall his way, and yet neither did, deep in a conversation between them about a girl one of them was going to hook up with their shift ended.Talen watched them go, mildly amused, noting that they took the stairs up to the next level. He’d be joining them up there soon enough, but for now their death had been delayed by their inattention to their duty.Once they were gone, he crossed the hallway to the little janitorial closet that he'd located and added the two bodies he held to the pile growing between the shelves of cleaning product
The Pack's Dragon Devon, Eli and Noah
Rideten, Present TimeThe final door at the end of the hall opened onto a balcony overlooking a church. If they followed the balcony around, they would come to the church organ, or the minstrels gallery where the choir would sing, their voices soaring over the congregation.The church was well lit, the pews glowing with soft foot-level lighting, and sconces set against the ancient stone walls to pick up the hand tooling marks left by the stone masons of old. The light was not kind to Heath or herself, Aislen thought wryly. Hybrid night vision didn’t have a lot of color distinction, and things tended to be more different shades of grey, so the splatter over their faces, in Heath’s hair, and across their clothing and arms, had been softened by its grey-tones. In the light, they were walking blood-baths dripping gore onto the well-worn floorboards.Heath’s top was grey, and the blood showed as darker patches that could be sweat. Hers (well, Rhett’s, though she was considering his wardrob
