They met Lukas in Reno again, this time in some sort of warehouse set at the ragged edge of the city. Lukas didn't have many people with him, and Esther explained it was just as well. "You are very stealthy," she said. "But your men are not, not in the way they think they are. Not enough to help me very much when I must conceal them from the Mexican." But...

Jamie was hunched over his notebook; the papers filled with scribbles detailing each of the thirteen blood lines. He had to find the key to the tomb and it was hidden somewhere in the hierarchy, he was sure of it.

Jennifer sat in an overstuffed chair, staring at the faint cracks in the white leather. She settled her glasses on her nose out of nervous habit, awkwardly ignoring the other two girls in the room. Her arm stood out in stark contrast against the chair, her skin as dark as burnt mocha. The young woman stole a quick glance at the other two girls - Emily and M...
Three young men frolicked by the swimming pool. Sammy was one hundred percent straight, hetero all the way; he liked girls although, admittedly, he hadn't much experience with them. He was hoping though that this would change, now that he was in la la land. Jason was about ninety-eight percent straight. He liked females, but his brother was gay, so he wasn't...
Again my dreams were filled with another trip to the grove. This time when I awoke the goddess in the grove had left my mind filled with knowledge of how to travel from place to place in a fraction of the time without using the Fae realm. As with every other day this week my head felt full to bursting with the knowledge of how to use the skill I had just lea...
With a groan I woke up and looked around. I didn’t see anyone in the room and guessed that Arianna had slipped back to New Orleans to take care of some business while I was unconscious. I lay back in the bed to wait on her to return and looked around the room. Surprisingly there was no sign of the usual medical equipment, no heart monitor or oxygen or anythi...
