Casey and her siblings, along with their aunt, are on the run. Pursued since their parents deaths 6 years before, The Dougals must use whatever tools they have to escape.

Like Emma's mind reading, Rance's shielding, Tanny's diamond hard skin, and Casey's shadow-shaping.

They have eluded the Chat Noir-- a mystical and sadistic society of assassins, trackers and geniuses shrouded in death and bloodshed based in Canada-- for 6 years now, since their parents Sybil and Aaron were murdered by the Chat Noir.

Casey and her family have been hunted town to town, city to city, state to state, with nowhere to go, nowhere to call home.

But the Chat Noir aren't the only people looking for the Dougals. A government run facility for people with powers, which Casey, Emma, and Rance's parents worked for is on their trail too-- but for different reasons.

Leo only has one person he can depend on: himself. But he's not even sure he can trust himself anymore. His sister is bitter after a gunshot wound leaves her a paraplegic, his mother is emotionally devoid after the brutal murder of his father 6 years before, and his little brother-- Leo isn't sure Shay's all that there.

It seems like any other mission-- get the mutant, get out, come back-- but when Casey, Emma, and Rance Dougal's files land on his eggs and bacon, along with their aunt's, Intan "Tanny" Halyn's, nothing will be the same again. The first time he met her, it was nothing new. But the second time? Cataclysmic.

Betrayal is imminent for both of them though, and unseen forces change the fabric of the lives they once lived.

(BS i know, but i'm horrible at these things)

"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.

Hey there folks, I'm Cody Phillips, welcome to New Orleans. N'awlins is known for many wonderful things, our coffee, music and the ability to throw a damn fine party. We're also known as the city most people believe may be one of the most haunted places in the world. Well, let me tell you this, we have more than our fair share. I know because I can see them. But, listen, don't spread that around. Yeah? It's been a closely guarded family secret my whole life. Not even my best friend knows this about me. See, I use my 'gift' in my work as a homicide detective with NOLA's finest boys in blue. Now, I understand why you might call it cheating, and that's fine. But I always catch the bad guy with the victim telling me everything I need to know and give the family involved closer. So it evens out as far as I can tell. Now just as my life is moving slower than a gator with a full belly, the worst happens. I get the call about a homicide that's hit too close to home. It leaves the girl of my dreams coming home to face tragedy. The moment I see her I find myself reminded of the one secret no one ever knew. Ever since I was eight years old I have felt many different things for Emma O'Neal, and those feelings haven't disappeared with time. Problem is now that she's come home; I find myself fighting not only an unknown assailant out for blood, my partner's misguided beliefs but my own need for the enticing beauty I'm duty sworn to protect. Damn, I just hope I'm able to fight the feelings I have for this woman, and stay focused on the case. Otherwise, I might end up losing something far more precious to me than the honor I've worked so hard for: Emma's life.

THIS HAS BEEN RE-UPLOADED UNTIL THE REWRITE OF BOOK 3 HAS BEEN COMPLETED. UNTIL THEN, YOU CAN ENJOY THIS COMPLETED VERSION.

For Kale Ray, he's not so sure if, when that moment arises, is a good thing or not. Subtle moments with a certain someone, since his first arrival at Blood Moon Falls, has made him undeniably uncomfortable. His initial instinct is to leave well enough alone. Then out of the blue, Kale decides to step out of his comfort zone and do the unthinkable: Befriend Easton. But the once happy-go-lucky Werewolf won't make it so easy. After losing his twin sister seven years prior in a battle between Societal Hunters and Werewolves, Easton is now moodier than Kale's cousin, Thea, which is saying something! Helping Easton heal is a lot easier said than done with the Were's blue-eyed icy gaze, his flip-flop moments of kind gestures, and Kale trying to wrestle alcoholic beverages out of the Were's hands. Bottom line: Kale's gotta lot of work to do. But you know what the problem with mending a broken heart is...? Having no warning what that person is doing to yours. ***WARNING: MATURE CONTENT***

"Think about it," urged Cole, "How do you think everyone would react if they found out what you do during your spare time, especially your sister." She narrowed her eyes ."Are you blackmailing me?" she asked crossing her arms and raising her chin. "No, I never said that." Cole held up his hands yet grinning mischievously.
