Chapter 13 Gypsy glanced over her shoulder and her eyes widened when she saw a big dark haired man step past her. He kneeled down with so much grace Gypsy had to wonder if he was some kind of dancer. Syn leaned down over Ren to look him over then frowned. “Angelica, I believe a call to Storm will be mandatory… we may need him to teleport Ren back to the castle.” ‘The castle?’ Gypsy mouthed the words and made a face at the one she’d just dubbed the king. She looked back toward the door seeing a beautiful woman standing there haloed from the lamppost outside. ‘And that would be the queen of the castle,’ her inner voice laughed. Where the hell had all of these people come from? Everyone looked like they’d either just stepped out of a fantasy movie or the latest edition of Drool Mania Magazine. She glanced back up at Michael’s amethyst hued eyes in disbelief. “That’s your daddy?” Okay… now she knew she was dreaming. Michael cupped her cheeks so her full focus remained on
Chapter 14 Once Kane stepped out the front door, Syn turned to Angelica who had her arms crossed over her chest and was tapping her foot impatiently. How he loved that little temper of hers. “Why do they think I’m their mother?” she demanded quietly. Syn shrugged, “Because that is what you are to them.” “I don’t have children you crazy ass Sun God,” She exclaimed. Syn calmly took a step closer, towering over her, “They remember their mother… it is you who has forgotten them.” Angelica rubbed her temples wondering how the hell to explain the fact that she remembered every moment of her life to a hardheaded delusional… she slowly smiled and happily pointed out, “They’re all older than me.” “And you have lived many times,” Syn just as happily defended, wondering how long it would take to set that little temper of hers loose on him. She opened her mouth to yell at him but seeing the expecting look on his face she snapped her lips shut and shook her head, “You know,
Chapter 15 “I see I have some explaining to do,” Ren stated reminding himself that for Nick… it had only been a few minutes since he’d tried to attack him. “Explain what?” Gypsy asked and released him from the hug. She looked back at Nick seeing the anger in Nick's eyes. Ren stood to his full height. “First things first, I owe you and Nick an apology. I was half out of my mind with pain and couldn’t even see you that night. Everyone was a blur and the only one I could identify was Gypsy.” “That night,” Gypsy looked back over her shoulder at him curiously. “But it’s only been about an hour.” “For you it’s been an hour, but for me… I’ve been healing for over two weeks,” Ren explained. “Did I miss two weeks somewhere?” Gypsy asked with a confused expression. Right now it wouldn’t surprise her in the least. Ren grinned loving her innocence and shook his head, “Nope… for you it hasn’t even happened yet.” “You’re a time traveler?” Gypsy asked trying to understand.
Chapter 16 Dean left him to his own devices so Skye had decided to leave the apartment to test the boundaries. He was still struggling with the fact that he was now in debt to a Fallen, even though this Fallen didn’t seem interested in harming him like others had tried to do in the past. At first, Skye thought Dean wanted something else besides his death… something sexual in nature. But that twisted way of thinking was brought to a halt when he’d felt another aura mixing with Dean’s… that of a lover. It also enlightened him to the fact that there was more than one Fallen in this city. At the moment… he wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or bad. He was glad Dean already had a lover because he wasn’t interested in becoming a pet to another man. What was even more disturbing was the fact he had enjoyed the few caresses Dean had given him. He simply chalked it up to the fact that it had been so long since he’d felt the touch of another. He’d sure as hell never let Misery touch h
Chapter 17 Skye felt the wind rush by him as he was thrown backwards. He scrambled for purchase so he could run back to her, only to be grabbed out of the air by a pair of strong restraining arms. Skye fought the hold until a familiar voice growled next to his ear. “Calm down,” Dean ordered harshly. Dean had been tracking the scent through the city and had gotten here just in time to see Skye flying off the edge of the building as though someone had pushed him. Not wasting any time, Dean reacted and caught Skye to prevent him from falling. However, when Dean looked up at the demon standing on the rooftop he frowned in confusion at the girl. A female Fallen… where had she come from? He thought all the females of their kind were safely away from Earth… it appeared that they’d missed one. “Let me go!” Skye snarled never taking his eyes off the demon and Aurora. “Either help her or let me do it!” Dean ground his teeth together seeing the sadness of her profile. Though the

The truth was he needed a few minutes of brisk walking to wear off some of the adrenalin that had built up inside him. The word ‘overnighter’ was irritating the hell out of him and he wanted to find out if Gypsy’s definition of the word was the same as his. That… and this was as good excuse as any to get away from Devon and the mess he was in. He knew Devon would do anything for Envy, but that temper tantrum of his was going a bit too far. Nick blew his breath out wondering if he would have handled it any better than his big brother… doubtful. It also had to suck to have your personal thoughts exposed like that… especially when your thoughts involved injuring someone. If thoughts were a sin then this world was in big trouble.
Chapter 2 Chad pulled into the driveway of Trevor’s apartment and parked beside Evey. He turned off the car and sat back for a moment thinking about everything that had happened in the last couple weeks. Between him and his sister, he didn’t know who was the most screwed up now… well okay, he’d let Envy win that one. Still, his hadn't been a cake walk either. Just the thought that he’d been killed and brought back to life by Kriss and Dean was nothing less than harrowing. It gave him the chills knowing he was supposed to be buried in a cemetery somewhere… over… done. In short, it scared the crap out of him. To make matters worse, neither Fallen seemed to know what the consequences of their actions would be on future events. He’d gone back to PIT headquarters to get his duffel bag and luckily caught Ren alone in his office. He’d taken the opportunity to again ask Ren if there was anything he should be aware of. Unfortunately, the all-knowing Ren didn’t know anything more than K
Chapter 3 To say Skye was confused was an understatement. He’d somehow gone from one prison into another, not realizing until it was too late. When he was unexpectedly freed from the trap that had imprisoned him and Misery together, he’d stalked the she-demon knowing she planned to release the demons that had been pulled into the rift. A large part of him actually hoped that Misery would succeed in her quest, but not for the reasons that some might believe. Just because he was a demon didn’t mean he liked his own kind. For centuries, he’d held onto the hope that Aurora was still alive in there somewhere and was trying to find her way back through to this world. However, when he saw what crawled out of the rift Misery opened, his hopes had crashed down around him and he was still in mourning. There was no way that Aurora could have survived among all of those monsters. He had been trapped with only one demon… Misery… and he’d still been able to feel the outside world. Being
