Azareyeh 19

I was old. Now, I wasn't nearly as old as Vis... I mean Vincent. I had to remember he changed his name in order to reflect the times but when I met him he went by something else. Anyways, I was old... born to a werewolf mother and a vampire father my life hadn't been easy. For the first sixteen years of my life we were forced to move from place to place, constantly being chased by supernatural law enforcement; the Sons of Olympus, the Warriors of Asgard, the Aztecs.....but none of them gave me as much grief as the Brotherhood of the Pharaoh, they were relentless. They killed my parents and would've killed me as well if not for Vincent, he saved me... trained me to be a warrior and for the next two hundred and some odd years I did battle with them. It wasn't until recently, when I met Chosen's great-grandfather, that we were able to come to an agreement, they'd leave me alone and I'd stop whooping their ass... I could've continued, I was winning... but I was tired. When you live as long as me, killing becomes boring... war exhausting.... and then you find yourself seeking the one thing you've never experienced... love. Sure, I've had lovers... many of them but I wanted something real, something long-lasting and passionate... but no one had caught my eye until now and I was fighting against it because Vincent was my friend... I couldn't have any feelings towards his son but Tavierre.... he ignited something in me that I thought I had lost.

"Azar...." Vincent said snapping me out of my daze. "Any word on The Hunter?" He asked and I shook my head, that man was good at covering his tracks. "I'm not too surprised... I would really like to find him because he's working for someone... someone who I thought.... Anyways, what's going on with you and Tavi?" Vincent asked with a slight smirk.

"I'm watching over him like you asked... but between guard duty for your son, trying to find this hunter, and the sudden appearance of Uziel's biological brother... It's a lot." I said truthfully. "You think the last two are connected?" I asked and Vincent nodded.

"Now... I have no evidence..... but I'm usually right about these types of things." Vincent said, checking his watch. "So I just made a lot of money and I'm thinking about throwing a celebratory orgy with some nymphs and probably some fairies.... wanna join?" Vincent asked and I quickly shook my head, last time I went to one of Vincent's parties I was coughing up fairy dust for a week... Fairies had the best ass but if you weren't careful you could get addicted.

"Nah, you go handle that... I think I'm going to do some more recon on Tavierre's ex.... That dude and his pack.... they're trouble and they could bring way too much heat us and I'm not trying to reignite a war with The Brotherhood... at least not right now."

"Seren and his pack are harmless.... Now I just need to figure out what I want to do with Nyx... I can't exactly leave him here by himself and I know his new brothers aren't trying to babysit....." Vincent said looking at me hopefully.

"Damn, that's crazy.... Well good luck with that....." I said before darting off through the woods. I wasn't a babysitter and I wasn't trying to solve all his problems.... Vincent was a good dad but sometimes he allowed his desires get in the way of his fatherly duties....

I reached Tavierre's apartment building and I thought about simply jumping to his balcony but I figured it would be more polite to take the elevator. I stood by the elevator doors waiting for it to come to the lobby and while it took less than thirty seconds, it still felt like an eternity. When the door finally opened, I stepped inside and I could smell him all over the elevator... and I let out a low sigh, here we fuckin go...... I thought to myself as I reached the top floor, and as soon as the doors opened, I could hear him begging.

"Tavi... please.... just please come talk to me....." Seren begged and I stood there staring at him, I could rip his heart out in an instant but that was far too messy. Plus, he was standing with two of his pack brothers... from my intel, their names were Frost and Kodiak.
