Hello Readers, I am sorry for the delay in posting and updating. Where I live recently had severe weather. I moved my family out of the path of the storm and ended up in a location with limited wifi and cell service. Today I am moving the family and RV/caravan to a new campground and will have a connection again. I will start updating daily provided the weather and family remain stable. At this time, if there are any questions or comments, please ask them or leave them. I would like to hear from you. Also which type of Were/shifter would you like to see join the story? Thanks, Michelle

Five years ago.Macon, GeorgiaMangadoom Head OfficeToday, Hope Howard accepted the invitation to work for Mangadoom.   Hope would go there to see the doctor and mingle with her friends.  The drive across town went faster than the time before.  She pulled into the complex, right up front in a spot marked visitor.  As she stepped out of the Jeep Wrangler, she was greeted by Salem.  He had been her friend for over seven years, having met his first day in Iraq. “Gunnery,” He said before giving her a full-body hug, lifting her off her feet as he did.  “Damn good to see you.” When he set her down, she punched his shoulder playful

Two Years Ago Tallahassee, Florida “Colin, are you sure you don't want to handle this case?” Yuri said as he swirled the red wine in his hand. He had been asked by the Vampire Council to investigate a human who had been digging too deep into vampire affairs. Normally the council only sent Yuri on a case like this when they expected the human to disappear. Yuri however had grown bored with living under the rule of this council. The Vampire Council was made up of seven vampires and rotated every fifty years. This particular group was a bunch of bloodthirsty assholes in his opinion. Yuri was over 2700 years old and tried to remain in the shadows. But with age came powers the younger creations had no access to. About 1500 years ago magic diverted from the vampires leaving them mainly with strength and speed. There were still a rare few who developed powers of the mind. Colin, Yuri, and the twins Marco and Micha Provinsky were among the seven elder vampires who could alter a hu

~~~*Authors Note*Timeline clarification:When Yuri got the original file it was two years ago. When he kidnapped her is the present day, give or take a month or two to Jerry’s trial. I hope this chapter will clear up the lapse in his investigation.~~~Yuri was sitting in his office on a video call with Colin. He reached out and brought a cup of coffee to his lips as Galvin left the room where Colin was sitting. “How is he doing?”“Better. I moved him to Tifton, Georgia for the time being. He said Aria had called to him and some him. Of course, he didn't tell me this until after meeting her.” Colin waved his hand dismissing Yuri’s next question. “But this is not why I called. I have a report on my desk from the council. Two years ago you were assigned to deal with a human female regarding her inquiries. I see that you found nothing that crossed our purview. So why did the council send you after her again?”Yuri took a deep breath. “It is not a simple story. When I fir

Colin Andrews CompoundSmith Lake Arley, AlabamaAs promised, Colin was on a private plane an hour later leaving Albany, Georgia, and landing in Jasper, Alabama. Colin and Aria had exited the plane with Cullen, Aaron, and several of the pack warriors. Alpha Chase Parker of the Eufaula Pack was waiting with Yuri in the private hangar. Colin had commanded Yuri to remain calm after he lost his temper and tried to hit Cullen. After the dust settled four large Ford Expeditions drove the thirty minutes to a compound Colin early used.“Aria, my love,” Colin said as he kissed her palm. “I need you to remain close to me while we prepare. There will be at least a dozen vampires and twice as many werewolves filling the compound before the night is over.”Aria had only met Cullen earlier that morning and was just coming to accept the supernatural world. Although she knew about the others, she was still nervous given Amber’s kidnapping and Hope Howard's involvement in Mangadoom. “I won't le
