Devoid Chronicles : Book 1 Blood Secrets

Prologue (Book two Blood Ties)

Alex led us through the wilderness not talking much. Firestar who cleared didn't enjoy the silence talked nonstop. I can't say I didn't enjoy it. He was full of life that spread to our small band of 6. He reminded me of Mal, something I found comfort in.

"The women of York Kingdom are cut from a different cloth, I've had plenty of nights spent there where I thought I was done with intercourse and they've jumped at the thought of another round. I've let myself out of many many windows in the middle of the night." Firestar said.

"Nobody cares about your sex life Firestar." Alex called from the front as he cut down another branch.

"Oh I bet. Do tell me boss one of your conquests." Firestar said wiggling his eyebrows at Alex. Alex cut his eyes over his shoulder before he returned them ahead.

"True gentleman never kiss in tell." Alex called. Firestar rolled his eyes and turned his attention to the twins.

"I would ask you but I cannot image a woman who would be attracted to the likes of you."

The sound of nails being shake around in a cup rumbled from Metal's mouth as he grinned.

"My brother says he thinks the same thing about you all the time." Steel said as he fought to conceal his smile. Everyone begin to roar with laugher as Firestar rolled his eyes.

"The dummy made a funny." Firestar said. Metal shrugged his shoulders and kept walking. Firestar turned his attention to me and I hoped he didn't ask me next.

"So Azari, tell me how many women have you been with?"

My ears begin to burn with the thought of Xandra. We hadn't been together in the sense that he was talking about but I knew when the time came she would be the one.

"Oh shit, you're a bloody virgin." Firestar said as he stepped in front of me. Alex stopped walking and turned to face us eyes searching my face which caused the twins to also stop. Sebastion kept walking completely oblivious to what was happening.

"Yeah so what?" I said with less conviction then I hoped for. Alex turned back forward and kept guiding us but I saw the smile cross his lips before he turned his back to me.

"So what? Your about to be twenty." Firestar said.

"I haven't found the right one yet?" I said as I stepped around him.

Before Firestar could continue to apply the pressure on me Alex silenced him. "Lay off." Firestar not in the mood to put up a fuss stopped talking. We walked in silence for about five minutes before Firestar started to talk again.

"You may be a virgin but you have to have a type."

Moving my hair over my eyes I turned to Firestar and raised an eye. "What do you mean?"

"Figures. A type like they type of women you like. For example, I prefer blondes with dazzling blue eyes." Firestar said he he placed his hands over his heart.

An image of Xandra popped on my head and I started to smile. "Oh, I like brown curly hair, a beautiful smile."

"I could have guessed. Boss what about you."

Alex kept moving showing little interest in the question. I was starting to think he wasn't going to answer it when he spoke.

"Women of color, no matter of the shade." Alex said as he cut another branch down.

"Now I did not expect that." Firestar said while he looked at me with a dumbfound expression.

"They tend to be able to handle me better." Alex said as he smiled.
