Edge of Dark

Timeline: January 31st, 2009 Grey had asked Rey to meet him for a private meet at the motel down near the highway. Ironclaw also asked Ramiel and Chaska to meet with himself and Grey. Neither Grey nor Ironclaw, who’d arranged for a the largest room to be reserved, would say anything about what the meeting was ...

Timeline: February, 2009 It was evening when Gillian arrived at Michael’s shop. Soon he’d be closed, but it had taken her all day to work up the nerve. She still didn’t know what she’d say. Honestly, she just wanted to be strong and powerful like Lyla. Even though the ex-lupa had been cast down, it had taken ...

Timeline: January 30, 2009 Lyla slipped back home at last. It had been a long, late, painful night with more twists and turns than a Cretin Labyrinth. Her body was exhausted and she was emotionally drained. She was still angry about what Ironclaw had done and wanted a sympathetic ear to bend before she collapsed into ...

Timeline: January 30, 2009 This wasn’t supposed to happen. This was an anathema to what Chaska thought of as ‘family’. But it was over even though the ramifications of what happened were far from over. He knew this was going to tear at Lyla just as much as it was him if not more. How was ...

Timeline: January 30, 2009 Ironclaw met Grey at the old, hollow tree locus. His old friend was exhausted from the healing he’d done for Gillian. She’d gone home to rest some more, but Grey had stayed at the locus and tried to recoup some of the massive energy he lost in the healing. Fights within the ...

Timeline: January 30, 2009 Rey left the Blood and Brew and went directly to Ramiel’s place to wait for Lyla. She knew that’s where Lyla would most likely head when she was strong enough to walk. She stood waiting for Lyla on the porch. Rey had to wait a long time, long enough for the motion-sensing porch ...

Timeline: January 28, 2009 Ironclaw stood with his hands on his hips and a snarl on his face. “Now tell me again. You did what?” Lyla frowned and hesitated. After she’d told Ironclaw that she and Chaska needed to go to Mythic City to fulfill an obligation for a deal they’d made, Ironclaw cut her off and ...

Timeline: December 26th, 2008 When Michael crawled out of bed, showered and went downstairs, he found the warm, welcoming aroma of a breakfast of eggs benedict, coffee, and milk waiting. Ramiel had found his way there only a few minutes earlier, after having awoken in bed alone today. Lyla had left a note that she was ...

Timeline: December 26th, 2008 “I said no,” Lyla said. The Young Father Bear pack Lupa stared hard at the tall blond standing in the frigid snow-dusted sidewalk. It was night but brightly lit by street lights. With the light snow, which still gently fell even as the two women confronted each other, there were few shadows ...

Timeline: December 11, 2008 Lyla picked up Rey in the morning and they drove down to Manchester dressed for business. Her boss had given Rey a packet of cash worth about ten grand. That, she was told, was the expense account for this run and which belonged to Lyla personally. But Rey would be managing it ...
