Here Kitty Kitty: Chapter 8.4 by Carol Pedroso

Silence followed Kitryn’s explanation and everyone jumped when Elder Patrick slapped his hands down on the table.

“That woman thinks it’s okay to take other people’s powers? To help herself to more than fate decided she was capable of using? Who does she think she is? And to try and take a child? No, that will not be allowed.”

“Um, things may be worse.” The interruption came from a male further down the table.
Elder Patrick jerked his head up. “What do you mean Xander?”

In Pieces #7 (3.2) by Julie Lynn Hayes

They joined a short line of passengers waiting at a taxi booth just outside the terminal. When it was their turn, they slid into the backseat of a bright orange cab. The driver was a matronly woman who looked to be about fifty. She wore her grayish-brown hair in a long plait that hung down her back and swung back and forth with every move she made.  Turning in her seat, she offered them a professionally courteous smile. “Welcome to New Orleans. Where can I take you?”

There were many of my vampire brethren in Africa that needed protection from the sun’s rays. Also, they could use some of our medicines. Not only was the expansion a good business decision, it was for the better of humankind as well.

With so much positivity, I was no ready to spend time with my chile. I sensed his bloodlust during the conference. It made me proud and aroused me beyond belief. As I’d told my father, Aaron would make the perfect vampire mate.

If we could get rid of his father’s spirit disturbing us, life would indeed be perfect.
