It has been a long four hours, Cole thought as he collapse on the bed near his mate who was still sleeping. Or unconscious but he rather likes to think that she was just getting the very much needed rest which she deserves. He left Taylor with Carson and Vince to get enough information from him but he was no longer interested in the information or the fact that the supernatural might soon go to war or there were other spirits in existence in this world. He didn’t care about any of those things, all he cared about was his mate and learning that nothing could be done to help his mate was a big blow. If the vial was given by supernatural then he had a chance of find the cure but it was meant to kill spirits, spirits tied to Myra’s life force, Myra might be okay now but very soon Cole would have to stay back and watch Myra life bleed out of her with nothing which he could do to help. “What ever thought you are thinking, is not helping Myra so stop it.” Moe ordered and Cole shook his hea

“You question is perceived as insultive.” Maut answered as Cole stammered, the last thing he wanted to do was offend Maut into not helping him. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean for it to be so.” “I know and I never said I saw it that way. Carson did. I knew better because I could see your heart. You see, you remind me so much of animals, how I missed them. Shifters always have the curiosity of a pup or cub and wolves most especially, I grew to like.” Maut replied as she sat up in her bed.“Come children, tell me what you wish for and be ready for the price which comes with it.” Maut was small, she had the body of a twelve year old female before puberty, but Maut own came from age, she had shrank in size and her skin was wrinkling even though it was kind of shining in the glow of the warm light that was available in her paradise. Her veins could also be seen easily from where Cole stood. “Yes, I am an old woman but this is an oasis, not a paradise. I miss my home sometimes.” She added wi

“I did nothing to you.” Taylor scrambled away from the couple who advanced towards him slowly as if they had the whole time in the world. Stalking him like he was the prey which they were about to kill. “Didn’t you?” Myra asked with a deceptive calm. “You purposely poisoned me, to what end, I don’t know.”“I know, we got the information and every other useful one out of him, he is yours for you to do as you want to him.” Cole stated as Myra smiled then moved faster to Taylor who ran but Myra soon caught up with him. “I am innocent.” Taylor screamed to his fellow shifters and one of them snorted while the other ones shook their heads. If he had played that card without challenging the king and injuring him while taunting him, they might have given it a thought to stick their neck out for him but now that they saw the way which Cole had taken Taylor down and disarmed him immediately, that kind of speed which only vampires could boast of, nothing would make them in their right mind th

“Instead of focusing on my mate, why don’t you focus on the information we got from Taylor if you are looking for something to do?” Cole went on defensive, especially since Myra didn’t utter a word after Vince statement. “That is a good idea.” Carson stated. “And we will but we need to know that we are not harboring another race of supernatural who are going to betray us or already have.” “My people have done no such thing.” Myra defended in a quiet voice. “Really? They haven’t? How are we to know?” Vince replied. The anger in his tone was visible. “You lied and they lied for decades and centuries, did I do wrong to accept your race into my protection centauries ago. Others would have asked a lot of questions but I did not, I only said that when it do come up that I would be told. It has come up countless times over the last six months and yet I am still told nothing. My patience is now dried up.” Vince growled. Gwenn but her lips but didn’t say anything or try to calm Vince down

“You know what I cannot stand?” Cole asked and paused, then shook his head. Was he really expecting that Myra would answer him and help him in his bid to guilt her into staying back while other go and look for the angel’s portal. “The fact that you are practically dancing around as you pack the things which you will take with you as you leave me.” Cole answered as Myra paused. She turned to look at her mate who was sitting on the bed with a pouting look that has been on his face since she banished him away from following her every step and to sitting there. “Are you being serious right now?” Myra asked. She was not dancing around. She was hurrying to pack her things because Courtney and Moe were already waiting for her and the reason why she was not ready was because of Cole. ‘Of course I am!” Cole returned. “You need help dude.” Myra responded as she shook her head and continued to pack her things. “I don’t understand why you cannot keep teleporting back here to take what you nee
