《Lost in the Shadows; Book 2 of the Blood Moon Series》Chapter 124

Kierra
I get around three hours of sleep when my dreams start taking on a mind of their own. Lesbian dreams are a thing not uncommon to anyone I'm sure, but this is way too detailed. Textures, scents, and cravings all fill my head with a visual that's not my own.
Faline's walls have fallen and she's broadcasting everything in my head like a damn porno. Seeing through her eyes and getting all the sensations along with it... It's a freaking virtual reality pornography flick in the making.
Now, being an older sibling, I'm all for my little sister to be mixed up with females instead of males, nothing’s changed there. Doesn't mean I want to see it though, or get a play-by-play of how she's feeling and her curiosities. Knowing it's the Mistress of the bordello is a bit alarming and worrying, but she is an adult. Also makes me wonder at the reasons she went back; think this may be one of them.
Feeling as if my tongue is the one to be exploring the textures of the woman’s fleshy bits, I can't keep quiet anymore.
"Uhh, think you can back off there little sister? You're swamping me and it's a bit awkward. Imagery is nice an all, but you don't need to share, really, I'm good."
Faline is startled away from her actions, which is amusing as all hell. Picturing her face going all shades of red makes me smile. Glad I can still do so after everything that's happened.
As I'm pulling back, she's shoring up her mental walls. Clearly, an eye has to be kept on them if you get too relaxed or start bumping-buglies. Good to know, I guess.
Amused yet still tired, I drop off once more. Doesn't feel like too long though when I feel the tug. Faline once more, but this time feels different since she's pulling on strength.

She's fighting.
My eyes and head both rise instantly, startling both Maii and Xavier, the light sleepers. Not knowing much about how our bond works, I try to send her everything she needs.
Caught glimpses show another Vampire, a female. Bad, but not the worst. If she were fighting a Were, I'd be freaking out way more. Shimmying out from under the flesh and fur pile, I hurry upstairs.
I feel the blows she takes even as she tries to shut me out. Shifting right outside my bedroom door and getting it opened as soon as I have usable hands, the sleeping figure on the bed gets ignored as I go for my clothes.
Getting dressed in record time, even for me, I move to dart outside. Being stopped by a leggy naked man is not my idea of morning greetings. Keeping my eyes firmly on his face, I glare at Xavier.
Amber eyes look back in worry and stubbornness. He doesn't have a hold of me, he knows better. The WereManed wolf stops me just feet from the door by blocking my path with his body.
Just as I'm not good at receiving casual touch, I'm not good at giving it either, not really. Easier when someone is troubled, but even then I have to think of doing it, it isn't automatic, and even then it can feel awkward.
"Move, Xavier."
"What's happened?"
Keeping eye contact with a very...delicious and sleep tousled male, is harder than what you would think. Shouldn't be, so let's blame it on hormones. Of course it has to be something girly.
"Move, please."
"Not till you tell me what's wrong."
I growl in frustration, debating on moving him physically. Even though a monster, I'm still a short female as well. Hearing something behind me, I whirl around, teeth bared.

I settle instantly upon seeing Bastion, a worried look in his eyes cooling my anger, but not my need to leave. Kani and Maii also come through the door, boxers or shorts on since both are in human form. Maii heads for the bathroom when he sees Xavier, coming back out with a towel.
Much easier to glare at him now, so I do so.
"I need to get to Faline, she's in trouble."
Just as I say it, I connect once more with her. The fight is over. She won.
Freezing, I feel her shock as she watches the dead body disintegrating. Shit... It's one thing knowing you'll die someday, but seeing how it happens can be a bit much.
Knowing she's alright, I ease down on my rush. Seeing nothing but what I see through her eyes, she's gathered up and held close. Not thrilled about that, but for now, I know she's safe.
I break away, keeping my walls thin in case she needs me again. Having been just as exhausted as I was and from the fight, she passes out quickly. Shaking my head, I relax my stance.
"She's fine now, she killed the leech who'd attacked her."
Gathering my thoughts around me, my eyes fairly shoot sparks at the man who'd stopped me.
"Never stop me again. Understand?"
Amber eyes glare back with just as much intensity as he towers over me. That movement alone sparks more aggravation.
"If it's for a good cause, I won't, you know that. But you can't go flying off half-cocked without knowing what's going on. You didn't, did you? Just felt that she was in trouble? You could have run right into something or made things worse."
I growl but know he's right. Knowing he is though is hardly what I want right now. Crossing my arms, I refuse to answer his questions. Of course, that in itself is answer enough.
Hearing more commotion, I turn and find we have quite an audience. Bryanna, Kani, Maii, and Bastion are looking at me in various looks of curiosity and worry. I ease down even more when I smell Rika and Diego close by. Not showing a very good example here, but that can hardly be helped.
"It's okay. Connected with Faline when she was in trouble, but she won and is in...good hands."
She better be anyway. I find out differently and I'm going to be storming the place again. Nodding, Kani and Maii head back down, Bastion requires some nudging though. His developing stubborn streak has me wondering if we'll be butting heads often when he gets older.
Eww, teenagers.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
