Nox had skipped town.  Avoided everything he had going while following him the past few months.  It was easy to stay on top of him.  Even if he wasn't exactly on top of him as he'd have liked.  But th...

Brother? Hayden blinked. He'd never looked up his mother. His parents were his grandparents, and that was good enough for him. Ethan was hardly father material, even now at 40. Still a loser who gets ...

Hayden laughed. He'd just gotten comfortable and now he was hopping off the bar to make more drinks. The duo had a few at Harbour House, and Hayden did like to remember drinks. But he didn't really ca...

Leaving had been hard. Necessary but hard. He was a good kid. Smart, capable. It wasn't a complete wonder why the Atharim choose to use him despite his abilities -- maybe Zef wasn't as blinded by ...
