“I’m a Chinese American, so of course I spend all my free time in a secret monastery learning kung fu and practicing spiritual cultivation. Because one day a demon king shall descend onto Houston and only my Ninth Level Thunder Fist Punch will stand in his way.”

Stephen Jiang from Hidden Legacy

“You aren’t a god,” Roman said. “Gods can’t walk the Earth. Don’t have enough juice.” He turned to me and Raphael. “Trust me, I’ve tried to summon one.” “Why the hell would you summon a god?” Raphael asked. “He was trying to kill his cousin,” Anapa said. “That was a long time ago.” Roman waved his hand. Anapa’s lips curved, and he smiled a bright genuine smile, suffused with humor. “No, that was last May.” “Like I said, a long time ago,” Roman said.

Ascanio Ferara - Teenage Bouda / ‘Prince of Hyenas’  

↳ “You’re wasting your time,” I told him. “Ascanio has the worst poker face I’ve ever seen.”

“I have a strategy,” Ascanio announced.

“Aha.”

“I’m going to play with woman and distract them with my smolder.” Ascanio unleashed a devastating smile. He was, without a doubt, the most beautiful seventeen-year-old kid I’d ever seen. He even beat out pre-injury Derek, although Derek always had a kind of boyish, disarming sincerity about him, while Ascanio knew exactly what he was doing. Which was why he needed to be taken down a notch.

“Let’s see it.”

“See what?” He blinked.

“The smolder.”

Okay, I had to admit the smolder looked pretty good. “Needs improvement. Work more on seductive and less on constipated.”

“I don’t look constipated.”

I glanced at Roman.

“Nah,” the volhv said. “Constipated isn’t your problem. You’re too slick about it. Woman sense when you’re faking.”

“What am I supposed to do about that?”

Julie Lennart - Olsen - Herald / Sensate / Kurgan

“They signed it,” Julie said.

Everyone looked at her.

“The box glows blue”, she said, drawing.” There is a lighter blue symbol on the lid.” She held the paper up. Two circles joined by two horizontal lines. It looked like an old-fashioned barbell.

“The alchemical sign for arsenic?” I frowned. That made no sense.

“Could also be the astrological symbol for opposition,” Julie murmured.

I glanced at my aunt. Erra blinked. “Izur?”

“What’s Izur?” Julie asked.

Erra stepped down into the yard, where the first stars dotted the darkening sky and pointed in the direction of Ursa Major. “Izur, the twin star.”

Julie’s eyes lit up.

“Don’t do it,” I told her.

She held her hands out. “Aliens.”

My baby 😢

Julie was cute and very much conscious of her position as Curran and Kate’s adopted child. Most of the time she was a perfect Pack princess, polite and poised—except when Derek, Kate’s sidekick, or Ascanio were in the room. Derek got frosty replies studded with spikes and if Ascanio was present, she turned into a foul-mouthed sarcastic devil.
