Background
This chapter is dedicated to my beloved who was deployed Sunday. Sending lots of love and prayers he will return home to me safe.
Previously...

After the Breedline destroyed the Chiang-shih demon, freeing Sebastian Crow of his possession, he managed to escape the Breedline’s punishment for his past crimes once again.  As Sebastian moves on with his new life, searching for Eve—his bonded mate—he stops for a drink at a private club called NightShade.  
 

When Mia asks Jem—her bonded mate—if he will agree to adopt Eve’s twins after they’re born, while she faces her crimes against the Breedline—he angrily refuses her proposal. After talking with Tim Ross—the Breedline head council—Jem realized he overreacted, and decides to take in Eve and Sebastian’s twins when they are born.

Meanwhile, Celina prepares for surgery, hopeful she will have the ability to walk again.

Continued...       
         

When Sebastian walked back into the club, he went to the VIP section and slid behind a table. Leaning against the back of a padded booth, he watched across the room as the colored lights flickered down on the crowded dance floor.

As the waitress brought him his usual two shots of Patron, Sebastian turned around and glared at the noisy group behind him. A bunch of middle-aged men with gold watches and silk suits laughed like the blowhard drunks they were—to the point that the loudest of them slammed back in his seat and knocked into Sebastian, which didn’t go over well.

Curling back his lip, Sebastian formed a snarl. “What the f—“

The gentleman cranked his head around, his long face, dark goatee and long ponytail looked similar to the guy on the cover of Zig-Zag rolling papers. His dark eyes narrowed as he slurred his words. “Wanna do something about it, boy?”

As Sebastian tilted his head back, he swallowed the vodka in one gulp and slammed down the shot glass on top of the table.

A moment later, the guy banged back so hard, Sebastian spilled his second shot he was about to drink. “Damn it to hell,” he cursed reaching for a napkin.

“Oh, sorry,” Zig-Zag guy muttered in a light chuckle. And then he made an unexpected show of lifting his pinkie up at Sebastian with a drink in his hand.

Sebastian reached inside his jacket for a weapon, fixing to get up and cut the guys throat. But out of nowhere a tall man appeared and put his hand out to stop him. “Gentlemen, what seems to be the problem?”

When Sebastian saw the guys face, his eyes widened. He had the same height, same long black hair, and the same color of eyes. It was as if Sebastian was looking at himself in a mirror.

His brows furrowed. “What the hell?”

The rude bastard Sebastian was about to kill looked up at the guy standing between them, and then back at Sebastian. As he turned to face his comrades, he burst into laughter. “Look guys, it’s dumb and dumber,” he said in an obnoxious tone. 
  
Sebastian snarled in response and then muttered a few F-bombs.

Abruptly, a waitress dressed in tight clothes walked up to Sebastian’s doppelganger. “Can I get you something to drink, Mr. Carlyle?” 

“Bring me a bottle of Dom Perignon,” he muttered in an English accent.

“Yes, sir.” She nodded and looked over at the table of men. “Would you gentlemen like another round of drinks?”

Before one of the men could open their mouth to speak, Mr. Carlyle abruptly spoke out, “Bring them their bill. They were just about to leave.”

He narrowed his eyes at the men around the table. “Isn’t that right, gentlemen?”

They were all mostly silent, their faces impassive when they saw a pair of glowing eyes staring back at them. The Zig-Zag guy’s eyes bulged. “Y-yes,” he stammered. “We were just leaving.” And then he fidgeted with his wallet, pulling out several bills and laid the money on the table. Without delay, they rose and exited the club.

“May I?” Mr. Carlyle asked Sebastian, waiting for his approval. 
  
Sebastian nodded, motioning for him to sit down.

When Sebastian’s look-alike took a seat, he switched his legs around, crossing them at the knee. As Sebastian stared at him in disbelief, he couldn’t take his eyes off him.

Still, in the grip of a violent temper, a question blurted out of Sebastian’s mouth, “Who the hell are you?”

“Thomas Carlyle,” he replied nonchalantly. “I’m your twin brother.”

Sebastian’s gut tightened, and he damn near swallowed his tongue. With his brows clenched, he said, “My mother told me you died at birth.”

Listening to Sebastian’s response, Thomas stared at him a long moment, obviously studying him with avid curiosity. He could positively see the denial in Sebastian’s eyes after he told them their mother lied.

Sebastian sent him a quick frown. “Where the hell have you been all this time?” he said, a definite smirk in his voice.

“In England, with our mother’s sister, Cathryn,” he revealed, cocking a brow. “Our mother tried to give us both away, but her sister would only take one of us.”

Sebastian leaned back and folded his arms across his chest. “Was her sister just as much of a bitch as our mother?” he asked sharply.

“Most likely worse,” Thomas grumbled.

Sebastian frowned harder. “So, is she still alive?”
 
Thomas’s lips formed into a cruel twist and answered bluntly, “No.”

 Sebastian’s lips quirked upward. “You know, I killed our mother,” he said without reserve. “I cut her throat so deep it almost severed her head.”

Without caring what Sebastian had just revealed, he kept his eyes on him and reached inside his Valentino sports coat. Pulling out a cigar, he handed it to Sebastian. “I think you’ll like this brand,” he said, shifting back in the seat and lighting up his own. “They’re dark but smooth.”

Sebastian flicked up a flame from his lighter and leaned forward for the inhale. As he took the smoke in, he could feel his brother focusing on him.

Thomas exhaled a perfect white cloud that momentarily fogged his features. “So, what do you think?”

“I like it,” Sebastian said, exhaling the expensive stogie.

Thomas grinned. “I knew you had good taste.”

Sebastian stared across the mahogany table separating them. “How did you find me?”

Rolling his cigar between his forefinger and thumb, Thomas muttered, “Lilith.”

“Who the hell is that?”

“She’s the Goddess of all power,” Thomas said with an expression growing more serious.

****
Ten minutes later, Jem exited the training room and headed upstairs. With his eyes locked on the steps, all of his emotions were in turmoil, which made sense. He’d lost his temper with Mia, something he’d never done before.

Jem cracked open the door and heard the sound of the shower running. As he moved past the bed, he saw Mia through the open bathroom door, standing underneath the water with her head down.

He could sense her emotions. It was if she were in mourning. No doubt because of how he’d reacted toward her when she asked to adopt Eve’s twins.

Stepping into the steamy bathroom, he called out to her.

Lifting her chin, she turned in his direction, and her succubus instincts dove into him, penetrating through his mind and going deep into his emotions. The images Mia saw in Jem’s mind came clear as if drawn with a quill of sadness and regret. He wanted to apologize to her.

As he kept his eyes trained on the thin glass barrier that separated them, she felt a shattering exchange with him. As she opened the shower door, his eyes went over her beautiful body, stopping at her lips.

Mia stretched out her hand, inviting him in. “Come shower with me.”

Slipping out of his clothes, Jem took her hand as she tugged him inside. He inhaled sharply, taking in the scent of her hair. Under the heated spray, his arousal twitched and hardened. When he was face-to-face with her, he locked his eyes on hers. “I’m sorry, Mia,” he whispered. “I love you.”

With that, he leaned in and tilted his head. Just before Jem kissed her, he paused, but not because he was worried she was going to turn away—he knew by the look in her eyes that she was not going to pull back. “We’ll do what’s best for Eve’s children,” he said. “They deserve a chance.”

“I love you, Jem Chamberlain,” she murmured, her lips quivering.

Jem felt the soft explosion of air against his neck as Mia sighed.

Jem and Mia reached for the other at the same moment. Their mouths finished the journey as their lips touched, soft to soft, warm to warm. Pulling her against his chest, he wrapped his thick arms around her shoulders and held her tight as he deepened the kiss. 

****
The next morning, Helen arrived at the Breedline Covenant, anxious to get Celina transported to the San Francisco General Hospital for her appointment to see Dr. Craven.

When she went upstairs, she met Kyle in the hallway outside Celina’s room. Just as she was about to say something, Kyle spoke out, “Are you sure she’ll be safe in a human hospital?”

Helen’s placed her hand on his arm. Her touch was light and soothing. “I spent years working in that hospital when I first got out of medical school. I’m familiar with all the rooms and all the equipment. There is not one square inch of the facility I don’t know like the back of my hand. Dr. Craven and I will work together and make sure she gets in and gets out fast—and I will not leave her side.

“I can’t bear to have anything happen to her again.”

“I know. Trust me, Kyle. We’ll take care of her.”

He closed his eyes briefly. One thing he knew for sure, Helen was a devoted physician. “Okay,” he said approvingly. “Give me a minute with her, though.”

When she nodded, he slowly opened the door. “Celina, it’s me… Kyle.” As he approached her bed, she looked even worse than yesterday. Celina lay motionless, her eyes were not just closed but squeezed tight as if she were in pain.

Her lids lifted slowly. “Kyle.”

“Helen’s here for you,” he told her. “She’s got an ambulance outside waiting to take you to the hospital.”

When she nodded, her lips parted, and her breath sounded like she was having trouble breathing. “Okay.”

Kyle leaned down to Celina’s face and kissed her lips gently. “I’ll be waiting for you at the hospital. As soon as you come out of surgery, I’ll be there for you.”

The door opened, and Helen put her head in. “Celina.”

Her lids fluttered. “Yes?” 
 
“We have to get going.”
 
“Okay, I’m ready.”

Kyle stood right by her side, wishing he could take her place. “I’ll be right behind you,” he whispered to her. “I’ll follow the ambulance.”

Before the paramedics loaded Celina into the ambulance, he grabbed one more glance at her. Helen got into the ambulance and looked back at Kyle, her eyes confident and full of strength. When the doors closed, he headed to his car.

Within the next hour, Celina was getting prepped for surgery after her MRI.

Flipping through some of Celina’s paperwork—which Helen was going to make sure she confiscated after all this was through—a nosey human nurse asked, “Who is she?”

“She’s a celebrity.” It wasn’t the truth, but that was all Helen could come up with at the moment.

The nurse glanced out into the corridor, her eyes searching the room. “That explains all the security.” Looking away, the nurse turned toward Helen and asked, “Where’s her consent forms? There’s nothing in the computer system.”

Dr. Kenneth Craven walked into the room. In his fifty’s, he was a tall, attractive man that reminded Helen of the actor George Clooney. Kenneth’s salt-and-pepper hair was thick, and he wore it parted on the side. He had tanned skin, a square masculine face, captivating emerald green eyes, and looked as if he kept in shape. It was a wonder why he was still single. All the nurses whispered gossip about how private he was. They’d never heard of him mentioning having been married or even children.

“I’ve got all those,” Kenneth said, stretching the truth. “You have the MRI for me?”

With her hands on her hips, the nurse stared at Helen. “Are you sure you want your name listed as the responsible party for all this? Being a celebrity, surely she can afford the surgery.”

“She has to remain anonymous, and she’ll reimburse me,” Helen quickly replied.

As Doctor Craven reviewed the MRI, he could see the area that had fused following a fracture. He wasn’t sure if the spinal cord was compressed or cut through completely, and he wouldn’t know the true extent of the damage until he got in there.

He looked over at Helen. “How many weeks since she was injured?”

“Two,” she said quietly so the nurse couldn’t hear.

He immediately frowned. “What?”

“Celina was afraid of having surgery,” she whispered, her eyes fixed on his. “We had to convince her to do this.”

“Damn it, Helen,” he cursed, his nostrils flaring. “She shouldn’t have waited this long. Spinal compressions are deadly to the delicate tunnel of nerves, and irreparable damage can occur in a matter of minutes or hours.”

As he went to turn away, she caught his arm. “I’m aware of all this. Celina is not only a Breedline, but she’s also a Wicca. Her healing powers are far greater than any Breedline.”

“Fine.” He let out a sigh. “We need to get started.” He went over to Celina, who had been placed on her stomach and bent down beside her. “I’m Dr. Craven, Celina. We’re going to start now, okay? I promise you’re not going to feel a thing.”

“Thank you, Doctor,” she said in a weak voice.

He stroked her shoulder and nodded at the anesthesiologist.

NOTE: This is not part of the chapter. A reference for terms and characters, especially for new readers.

BREEDLINE - A species of humans that have the ability to change from human form into a wolf. They are not like the old legend of the Lycanthropy myth. Breedline species can shift into their wolf at will. The moon has no power over them. They do not pass their ability to other humans with a bite or scratch like the Lycanthropy myth.
The Breedline gene is passed down to offspring that are born identical twins. Although they live amongst human, their species must be kept secret.
In wolf form, they have super strength, speed, and heightened senses. Their lifespan is the same as a normal human, but they are immune to illness and disease. Only a silver bullet to the brain will kill them. All males change into their wolf at the age of eighteen. Females do not go through the change until they make love to their Breedline bonded mate.

BREEDLINE TWINS - Identical twins that are born from either one or both parents of the Breedline species. They have a strong, unbreakable bond from birth, are born with telepathic abilities, and have the power to sense the other's emotions or injuries. In some cases, the bond between twins are so strong, if one dies, the other twin may pass on, especially if they don't have a mate.

BREEDLINE BONDING - The male Breedline spends their life in search of their bonded mate. When the male comes in contact with her, he instantly feels a simultaneous, desirable attraction and she becomes the most important thing in his life. He is there to love, protect, and cherish her until death. Once they are mated, they bond for life. It is possible for them to have more than one mate in their lifespan.

BELOVED - A word used by a Breedline to express the bond to their mate.

DOUBLE BONDED - In some cases, male Breedline twins bond with the same female; but one will carry a stronger bond. Usually one of them must sacrifice for the other twin.

BREEDLINE COVENANT - The Breedline species must live within the boundaries of a Covenant, which is only formed with their species. The Covenant is governed and ruled by a head council. The council keeps their laws in order and oversees the species population.

THE BREEDLINE QUEEN - Over centuries the Breedline Covenant is ruled by a true Queen. If there is no Queen living, the Covenants are governed by an appointed head council until another Queen is born. A Breedline Queen is born once every one hundred years. Her massive stature, black fur, and red eyes are the Queen's trademarks. Her alpha wolf has twice the strength, speed, and size of any Breedline. The Queen is expected to rule over all the Breedline Covenants where she will be respected and obeyed by all Breedline. This is their absolute True Law.

THE QUEENS RING - This ring has been passed down to all Breedline Queens for generations. When the new Queen places the ring on, it instantly shifts in size to fit her finger.

TRUE LAW - All Breedline Covenants have an ancient book of laws. If either sex disobeys the Breedline laws, they can be shunned, or no longer protected by their Covenant. If a Breedline takes another life out of revenge, or evil - other than protecting their life, and the life of another - they will never have the ability to shift back human and cast out as a rogue wolf.

ROGUE WOLF - A Breedline shunned by their Covenant for taking another life out of revenge or evil and forced to live as a wolf until death without the ability to change human again. Some rogue wolves form into packs, which can be dangerous for other Breedline species.

RED (BLOOD) MOON - When the full moon passes through the amber shadow of the earth, producing a midnight eclipse visible across North America. So begins a lunar eclipse tetrad, a series of four consecutive total eclipses occurring at approximately six-month intervals. This incredible light beams into the heart of earth's shadow, filling it with a coppery glow and transforming the moon into a great red orb. During this time, all Breedline species that are mated have a strong desire to create offspring. This is also a time when Breedline females are more fertile for the conception of twins.

CHIANG-SHIH DEMON (Kiang shi, a.k.a Ramael Arminius) - An ancient demon that inhabits the body of a Breedline fetus before it's born, or during a Breedline's death. It continues to take the soul over the natural lifespan of the child, or the deceased Breedline. When the demon possesses a fetus, it breaks the bonding and telepathic abilities of their twin when they are born. If the demon possesses a deceased Breedline's body, it must do so before the soul passes on. If the soul is not intact, the body will soon die.
In most cases, the Chiang-shih demon will take the life of the other twin, even before their birth. The twin that is born with the demon will bring only evil to whomever they encounter. Their sole purpose is to gain full control of another soul and seek world domination.
There are two ways the demon is cast from the soul it possesses: By its firstborn son, and the Angel of Mercy, Zadkiel. The Beast is the only one who can kill a Chiang-shih demon.

THE BEAST - He is the second born son of the Chiang-shih demon. When provoked into a rage, he will shift into his Beast instead of his Breedline wolf. The Beast is an enormous, dangerous two-footed creature that has wolf-like features. One bite has enough venom to kill the Chiang-shih demon and leave the soul of the person the demon possessed unharmed.

SHADOW WALKER (a.k.a Shadow Figure, or Black Mass) - The perception of a patch of shadow as a living, humanoid figure, particularly interpreted by the Breedline as the presence of a malevolent entity. When a Breedline species dies and does not pass on to the other side, they are left to roam the earth as a shadow of themselves - a ghost. They will not pass on until they have settled unfinished business before their death.

ZADKIEL (Tzadqiel, a.k.a "Righteousness of God") - The Archangel of freedom, benevolence, and mercy, and the Patron Angel of all who forgives. Breedline species tradition considers him to be the Angel of Mercy.

SUCCUBUS (a.k.a CREEPERS) - Creatures that search for, and feeds off the blood of the Breedline species. Creepers are skilled at extreme sexual pleasure, and the ecstasy they create is exceedingly intense and highly addictive. They cast off a scent that hypnotizes Breedlines into overwhelming sexual urges. They use their human-like bodies and beautiful features to control and influence their thoughts.
They have the ability to reach into the Breedline's mind during sleep, casting a spell of dreams about sexual contact, or intercourse. And one much less obvious manifestation of Creepers is nightmares - realistic, graphic, terrifying nightmares that rob the Breedline of sleep. Over a period, it can lead to severe fatigue and depression, leaving them emotionally and spiritually drained. Death can occur if they completely take over the Breedline's body.

HALF-BREED - This species is born with the genes from both Breedline and succubus. They can bond with either a full-blood Breedline or another half-breed. They do not have the ability to change into the Breedline wolf, but they do need blood from them to survive. With the power to hypnotize, most Breedlines have minimal respect and credence toward the half-breed species.

WICCA (or Wise One) - According to the Breedline species, a Wicca is the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts, and necromancy. A Wicca is also considered to be a demonic spirit. It is unclear to the Breedline if they act under the orders of the devil, or they are simply not understood and treated as outcasts. They have the ability to do white magic (good) or dark (evil).

KATAKO (a.k.a Lucas, or Dark Shadow) - He is the Chiang-shih demon's offspring that is born both Breedline and Wiccan. After one year, the Katako develops into an adult with the mind of a child, without reaching full maturity. It has the power to appear translucent, or become completely invisible. Being born half Breedline, it can shift into a wolf and transform, or mimic another creature with the power to instantly travel from one place to another. Their true purpose of creation is to bring forth the souls stuck in purgatory by using one drop of its blood. The Breedline Queen's bite is the only way to destroy it.

GOLEMS (a.k.a The Death Army) - Evil creatures created by dark Wiccans with the power of necromancy. By releasing the souls of demons stuck in purgatory, the Wicca can give them the ability to shape into a creature that is made from earth. These creatures have various qualities, such as mass strength, enormous stature, and the power to consume their victims by saturating them with mud.

GUARDIANS (a.k.a Spirits of the Forest) - They originated during the Middle Ages with the purpose of protecting all creatures, especially the Breedline from the destruction of any creation made by a dark Wicca. They have the ability to stay invisible with the power to move through any barrier and over any distance instantly.

THERIOMORPH - This species is born with the genes of a Breedline, but do not have the ability to change into a Breedline wolf. They shape shift into an enormous black panther. They possess powers of mind manipulation and random visions of the future. They must use the drug dopamine to suppress their urges. Their eye color shifts into a glowing lavender when their Theriomorph nature takes over. The Breedline see them as a threat to their species.
