Unleashed Chaos/A Novel of the Breedline series
A chapter in the book Unleashed Chaos
John Doe
by scongrove
| Background I appreciate everyone's help and your reviews. Thank you Andrew for posing for my character, Steven. And a special thinks to Cailin Way for the beautiful photograph. |
Previously...
Even though Steven was shot in the chest, he managed to defend himself against Dr. Ludwig, two Breedline hybrids, and the evil physician’s thuggish bodyguards.
As Dr. Helen Carrington finally discovers the cure for the Breedline aging process, she is called to the hospital to assist with a patient that is brought to the hospital with a gunshot wound. When she arrives, the emergency room erupts in chaos. Dr. Allman, who is prepping for surgery, mysteriously passes out and the patient on the examination table is glowing.
When Helen takes control of the situation, and Dr. Allman comes around, she realizes the patient has miraculously healed, leaving no trace of a bullet wound.
Meanwhile, now that Eve has come to terms that her son Arius has the mark of the Chiang-shih demon, she agrees to go with Sebastian to his twin brother’s estate and meet Lilith to find out what she wants with her son.
Continued...
About two hours later, John Doe—the patient with a gunshot wound, and a body that sparkled like a disco ball—miraculously healed, and finally stopped glowing. When Helen pushed open the door to the intensive care unit, with her leather bag on her shoulder, and her car keys in her hand, she was ready to head back to the Breedline Covenant. But she wasn’t leaving without seeing John Doe first.
If her intuition was correct, this could be a link to the missing patient dated back in the seventies she’d been researching. Years ago, she’d found a file in the hospital that was put away marked as confidential. She had no clue how it got here in this hospital, but no one seemed to miss the documented research. The file was a study done by a German physician named Dr. Hans Autenburg. In the reported research, it revealed a patient that had supernatural rapid tissue regeneration he called SPECIMEN ONE—the same ability she found in Jace and Jem’s blood months ago. Using their blood samples, she all but exhausted herself trying to come up with a cure for the Breedline’s aging process. Now, just hours ago, she finally was successful. All she had to do was test it.
Most of the nurses on staff were Breedline and kept the patient’s medical information confidential. Helen didn’t want it leaking out to the public, especially to humans. If they got a hold of what had just happened earlier, it would be spread all over news media, and that wouldn’t be safe for their species.
As she walked over to the nursing station, the young nurse across the counter looked up. “Hey, Dr. Carrington, are you here to check on the patient in room eleven?”
“Yeah,” Helen said with an exhausted sigh. “Has he woken up yet?”
“No,” the nurse replied. “I just checked on him thirty minutes ago. All his vital signs are stable, but he’s still unconscious. Nurse Jacky is with him now.”
Clanging her keys around, Helen nodded and put them back in her pocket. “By the way, did we find a next of kin?”
“We searched through his belongings but came up empty. There was no wallet, no phone… nothing.”
Helen shook her head. “I’m not surprised. He was probably mugged right after the attack.”
“Yeah, you’re probably right.”
“What about the police,” Helen queried. “Have they asked any questions about our patient?”
“After John Doe’s admittance, two detectives came in asking about him.” She handed Helen a card. “They left this in case the patient becomes conscious. I guess they want to question him.”
“Thank you,” Helen said, placing the card in her bag. “I’ll take care of it.”
The nurse nodded as Helen waved and headed down the corridor. Room eleven was all the way back, on the left. When she got there, Nurse Jacky looked up from checking the patient’s IV and said, “Hello, Dr. Carrington.”
Helen put her bag down and reached for the medical record that was in a file holder on the wall. “Hi Jacky,” she replied, glancing over the chart. “How’s our patient?”
“He’s still stable, which is amazing.”
As Helen flipped through the recent stats, she said, “Yep, he’s a bit of a mystery.”
She was about to close up the medical file when she noticed the patient’s blood pressure recording. It was back to normal. Everything seemed to be stable as she glanced over the chart.
The nurse paused at the door. “Let me know if you need anything.”
Helen smiled. “Thanks, Jacky.”
After the nurse had left, Helen pulled the privacy curtain into place and went over to the bedside. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out an ophthalmoscope. As she leaned over him, Helen used her fingers to open one of his lids. She shined the lighted medical device into his retina, holding it steady. Her intuition was right, she thought. John Doe had to be one of Dr. Hans Autenburg’s patients. The German physician’s study also reported abnormal lights that reflected in his patient’s irises—exactly as the person lying in this bed.
Staring at his face, she put her hand on his forearm. “I’ve got a lot of questions for you when you wake up,” she muttered in a quiet voice.
“Helen.”
She flinched at the voice and quickly wheeled around. “Jesus, Carl,” she gasped, placing her hand over her heart, “you scared me.”
Dr. Carl Eaves shrugged his shoulders. “Sorry, Helen.”
As he went around to the other side of the bed, Carl looked at the patient and said, “I just wanted to check in on him. I still can’t believe his wounds healed as fast as they did. Even our species don’t have the ability to heal that quickly. God, I would love to study him, or at least participate in it.”
As Helen watched John Doe’s breathing, she listened to the faint beeping of the monitoring equipment. It seemed to swell in the silence between them until her awareness kicked in. She glanced up at Carl and said, “I think we should.”
He cocked his head to one side and furrowed his brows. “What do you mean?”
Helen blinked nervously. On pure gut instinct, she felt like she could trust Carl. Hell, she’d known him practically her whole life. Helen had been best friends with his wife, Shawna since college, and co-workers for over ten years. Preparing herself, she just opened her mouth and told him everything, beginning with the files she found on Dr. Hans Autenburg’s patient, her years of tireless research, and rapping it up with her recent discovery—the cure for the Breedline aging process. All she needed to do was test it.
She stared across the patient at Carl, waiting for him to process everything she’d just told him. After several moments of silence, his mouth dropped as he tried to form words. But he was so shocked he didn’t know what to say. “This is a miracle,” he replied, excitement simmering in his voice. “I would be honored to help you, Helen.”
Letting out a sigh of relief, it occurred to her that she needed his help. On some level, she’d known this conversation was coming, and she couldn’t think of anyone else she could trust more than Carl.
Helen smiled. “Thank you, Carl. I was hoping I could count on you.”

Eve held onto Sebastian’s hand as they traveled through the portal to a charming English manor south of London. The estate belonged to his twin brother, Thomas. After his aunt—his mother’s sister that raised him passed away; he inherited her wealth. Glancing around the spacious reception hall, Eve stood astonished when she saw the Renaissance-style carved-wood staircase.
Standing inside the foyer, Sebastian checked his watch. The Cartier had diamonds all over it, and under the light from the overhead chandelier, the tiny gems glistened.
“Greetings,” a familiar voice with a French accent came from behind them.
As they turned around, Sebastian rolled his eyes when Samuel Mercier came into view. It was a miracle he was still around. Sebastian assumed the bastard would eventually be caught and persecuted by the Breedline. After Jace’s Beast sent the Chiang-shih demon back to hell, all his council members—the ones who were still alive—came out of hiding and begged for his help. Wearing out their usefulness, Sebastian turned them down.
Narrowing his eyes, he glared at Samuel. “What the hell are you doing here?”
Samuel cleared his throat. “Mr. Carlyle asked me, and the rest of the council to join him.”
“Well, don’t just stand there like an idiot, where is he?”
Samuel nodded and motioned them into the dining area. “Please, right this way.”
Sebastian and Eve followed him into a minimalist dining room that occupied a former ballroom. As Sebastian watched Samuel, he hated to admit it, but he had the feeling Samuel was a little light in the loafers. No real man would move the way Samuel did. He walked with a feminine stride.
“Would you like some coffee?” Samuel offered.
Sebastian waved at him in dismissal. “Yeah, whatever.”
“Please, have a seat,” Samuel said graciously.
When Sebastian sat down at the formal dining table, he watched Samuel as he brought over two china cups with saucers, and poured their hot beverage nice and slow. Sugar was next, and the spoon he used to stir made a soft clinking sound. Samuel would have cheerfully wiped his ass if asked, Sebastian thought. At least the coffee was good, although he kept that to himself.
“Where is Thomas?” Sebastian demanded, lifting his cup with a frown. “I don’t like waiting.”
Just as Samuel opened his mouth to speak, the sound of several footsteps tapped across the marble floor.
“Welcome, brother,” Thomas announced, walking into the room with Fredrick Mercier and a tall, muscular male with a tattoo of a dragon on his arm. Recognizing the man standing by Fredrick, Sebastian crossed his arms and glared at them. “Well, I’m not surprised you managed to rustle up the rest of my father’s dumbass council.”
“I take it you’ve met Samuel's twin, Fredrick Mercier?” Thomas queried, and glanced at the tall male. “And I’m sure you remember Corbin Azzo?”
Easing back in his chair, Sebastian curled his lip in disgust. “Yeah, I remember them all too well.”
Turning in Eve’s direction, Thomas lowered his head. “You’re looking rather beautiful, Eve. I’m glad you agreed to come.”
Without saying a word, Eve stared at him and nodded.
Sebastian impatiently tapped the bottom of his ring on the table. “I’m surprised you have accepted the rest of my father’s council members,” he said in brooding sarcasm. “They’ve proven on countless occasions to be useless and incompetent.”
Corbin scowled at Sebastian, his cheeks flushing. “We were always loyal to your father.”
Sebastian smiled a little and placed his palms on his lap. As Corbin kept his eyes on him, there was a temptation to pull the forty he had tucked inside his jacket and aim for Corbin’s family jewels.
Sebastian laughed. “Yes, you might be stupid, but you’re honest. You were loyal to your master. But now, my father is dead. So where does your loyalty lie now?”
Thomas interrupted. “His loyalty is with us. All of my men’s allegiance is with Lilith and us.”
Sebastian stood up and moved next to Corbin. As he stuck his face in Corbin’s, he said mockingly, “Glad to hear you’re still obedient. Instead of referring to me as master… you can call me God.”
Thomas abruptly asked everyone to leave the room except Sebastian and Eve. He knew bringing in Sebastian’s fathers’ old council members would be like poking a hornet’s nest with a stick. Yes, there was potential for a loyal council, and where their destiny led, it was critical for success.
When they left them alone, Thomas sat down beside Sebastian and grinned.
Eve turned toward Thomas and said, “When do we meet Lilith?”
Within the short silence, someone or something glowing appeared at the far end of the room. As the unnatural ghostly form entered the doorway, its voice cast in an echo, “I am Lilith.”
Sebastian’s eyes widened. A woman appeared before him as a glowing ghost with sparkling diamond-shaped eyes. He couldn’t quite pinpoint why she looked so familiar, but he swore he’d seen her before. The planes of her cheeks and chin cast in elegant, soft angles. Long brown hair flowed past her shoulders and covered her breasts. She wore a robe made of unique, shimmering white fabric, and a thick silk, gold belt captured the weight of it all.
“Greetings,” came a low, seductive voice. “I am the one whom you seek.”
The S’s strung out until it sounded like the warning of a rattler’s tail.
A thrill rushed through Sebastian, tingling down to the fly of his pants. Her presence sent off power, and after all, that was the biggest turn-on in his eyes. The thing that was standing before them was all about authority.
A long, elegant hand reached out to Eve. Lilith’s smile was stone-cold as her eyes flashed brightly to the point of malevolence.
“Where is the child?” Lilith’s voice blended the words into one another, and Sebastian found himself addicted to the sound.
When Lilith stood face-to-face with Eve, she cringed in fear.
“Fear not,” Lilith murmured. “I will not harm you.”
Thomas cleared his throat like he was trying to get her attention. “The child is within the protection of the Breedline Covenant,” he stated. “When it’s time, we’ll retrieve him without haste and bring him to you.”
Lilith smiled. Her smooth face shifted into a self-satisfied expression. “There will be a death involved. It is merely what is required to begin the child’s transition.”
“Death?” Sebastian questioned. “Who’s the target?”
Turning in his direction, Lilith asked, “Are you committing yourself to the act?”
It wasn’t clear to him exactly how far he was willing to go. Getting his hands dirty inside the Breedline Covenant had not been part of his original plan. Sebastian rose to his feet. “It depends on who you want dead.”
When Lilith touched his hand, Sebastian felt electricity lick up his arm. And then he watched as her lips formed into a wicked grin. “The Queen,” she said icily.

Book of the Month contest entry
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.

and 2 member cents. 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.
