BLOOD HEIR

Chapter 14 – One ***** To Another

The woman kept on clapping till she was standing right next to Musette. Her evil eyes glanced over the women gathered in front of her and rested on Dana.

Who would have thought our little tennis player had a backbone? she laughed. Jean Claude was becoming more and more puzzled. He hadnt imagined in his wildest dreams that Shane and her friends would already know Musette. He wondered how that had come about. But now they also seemed to be acquainted with Musettes animal to call. This was not going as he had thought. He looked at Anita and wished he could communicate with her, but that would involve dropping his shields leaving his mind wide open to Musette.

What the ***** is SHE doing here? Alice asked her attention temporarily drawn away from Musette.

Shes here with me, Musette said as she pulled her closer and she leaned into her firmly planting her mouth on hers. The kiss was reciprocated and for a few moments the two women heatedly exchanged body fluids drawing horny looks from some of the people in the room.

Shes Musettes animal to call, Jean Claude interrupted seeing the grimace on Danas face. Finally Dana could see the missing pieces. For weeks shed been wondering how Tonya had known she was a shifter and now suddenly it made sense. Tonya had known because she herself was a shapeshifter. Not only that, she was involved with the woman who had treated Alice like ***** and who was now after Shane. Dana felt anger flood through her merely at the sight of her.

Shes a shapeshifting *****, Dana said sharply not being able to stand being in Tonyas presence any longer. Her life was crashing before her eyes, but she felt oddly relieved. No longer having to pretend she was in love with an evil *****. Not having to be near her. Having her touch and kiss her when they were in public. She was tired of living a faade and now it was finally coming to an end after all these years. She just hoped her friends wouldnt turn from her once they knew what she was. Once they knew she was a shapeshifter.

Dana? Shane whispered softly looking at her friend in confusion. Dana looked at Shane and she could see in her eyes that she knew. For a moment she forgot to breathe. Shane knew. How did Shane know? ***** Tonya. Shed only put up with her to keep her friends from finding out. And now they were going to. Shane was going to hate her. They were all going to hate her. Theyd leave her. She was going to be all alone. She couldnt bear the thought of losing her family. Shed already lost her family once. Panic was starting to take control of her until she felt Shanes hand on her arm.

Dont worry, Dane. Everythings going to be fine, she said trying to calm Dana. She could feel the panic coursing through Danas veins under her hand. The panic slowly made place for relief and calm.

Really, is everything going to be fine? Tonya asked sarcastically.

Do you really think your friends are going to stand by you when they know what you are, Dana? Shane looked at the woman. For the very first time she looked at her and she didnt like what she saw one bit. Or what she felt. Shed always known what Gabby was like. Gabby was a user and Alice was just something to tide her over. But Tonya she couldnt believe shed been so blind. Shed been so preoccupied with her own conquests, she had been oblivious to Tonyas true character. But now she really looked at her, she could see for what she really was. With Gabby, or Musette, or whatever she went by, she had felt pure emotions. Pure anger. Pure rage. But with Tonya it was hard to feel anything. She thought back to what Jean Claude had said. It was difficult to read the emotions of someone who was overwhelmed by an array of emotions. Or if they were insane. Somehow she didnt think Tonya was feeling very much at the moment.

And this is the woman Dana had been with for so long. The woman Dana had put up with to hide her secret. Shane felt hate building in her for this woman.

What makes you think her friends dont know already? Tonya was taken a bit aback by this. She looked from one to the other.

What the ***** are you people talking about? Know what? What the ***** is going on? Alice hated being left out of the loop. And at the moment she wasnt even in the same solar system as the loop. For some reason Shane knew exactly what was going on. What was she? Yoda? What was she doing? Reading everyones mind or something?

I think its time you left, Musette, Anita cut in not giving anyone the opportunity to answer Alices questions. This was all going completely pear shaped. The plan had been simple. Go in there and stare Musette down. Overwhelm her with the troops so she would see that she was outnumbered. Threaten her to leave their territory and Shane alone and be done with the whole thing. And now the plan was shot to *****. She didnt have a clue what was going on.

I am not leaving until I get what is mine, Musette snapped back.

What is she talking about, Shane? Dana looked at Shane who just shrugged.

She wants me, Dane.

Have you lost your mind, Gabby? Did they suck out your pea brain when they sucked out your soul? Alice almost yelled. Things were starting to get to her. First she found out that her ex was a soulless bloodsucking vampire. The thought that shed slept with a dead person still sent shivers up her spine. Then the evil cat killing ***** turned out to be a furry. And now they wanted to take Shane.

And you what were you thinking hooking up with these freaks? If you hadnt if you hadnt, Alice broke down in sobs her fears and frustrations getting the better off her.

Theres that problem with the English language again You always were an excitable little thing werent you, Al? Musette ran her fingers across Alices cheek pressing down on the bruise she had caused making Alice gasp in pain.

Dont touch her. Musette quickly pulled back when Shane moved forward her previous confrontation with Shane still fresh in her mind.

Just leave her baby. Shes just an annoying gnat who yaps too much, Tonya slimed softly rubbing Musettes arm. In a flash Musette turned around and closed her hand around the womans neck.

You do NOT tell me what to do. Do you understand? her voice dangerously low. Tonya nodded struggling for breath as she tried to pull Musettes hand away. Musette let go and Tonya went down on her knees drawing in deep breaths as she rubbed the red marks Musette had left on her neck.

While Musette had been busy with Tonya, Anita and Jason had moved the three women between them and their people behind them. Jean Claude was watching the exchange with growing amusement. Musette now turned back on Jean Claude.

Im getting tired of this ***** around. Are you going to give me the girl or not?

No. Alice grinned at the face Musette made at this. She looked at the Master of the City. He was kinda hot if you went for that long-haired macho smooth type. Yum.

Nows not the time to get horny, Shane whispered in Alices ear.

How did you do that?

Im Yoda, remember? Musettes shrilly voice drew their attention back to the action.

Well, then its a good thing its not up to you. Do you really want to anger Belle Morte? Jean Claude was starting to lose his patience now.

It is you who is trespassing, Musette. You are lucky I have not taken action yet. If you try to take one of my people forcibly, as I know you have already tried once, I will show you exactly why it is I am Master of this city. Anita, Jason and several others moved closer to Jean Claude. A few of Musettes people mirrored this action. Nathaniel moved away from the crowd at a glance from Anita and left the arena to warn Asher and the others who were guarding the perimeter outside, that things might turn ugly.

Musette looked around her and saw all of their people looking grim and getting ready to jump into action at any moment. Tonya was standing at her side glaring at Anita. She looked rather frail to be an executioner, she thought. She was sure she could take her. Her hand grazed over the blade tied at her back. Shane pushed forward till she was standing next to Anita giving Tonya what she hoped was her Im-gonna-*****-you-over glare.

Jean Claude could see Musette was weighing her options. And it looked like he was going to win. She looked at Shane one more time.

This is far from over, Jean Claude, Musette barked. Then she snapped her fingers at her posse and pushed between Jean Claude and Anita moving towards the exit. Her posse set into motion following in her footsteps. Jean Claude nodded at the people closest to the exit. They nodded back and led the way out of the building.

They watched Musette, Tonya and her people leave the arena. Anita let out a breath she hadnt noticed shed been holding. Her hand eased away from her Browning and she felt the tension flowing out of her shoulders. She looked at Shane who was looking calm and collected like she was at the Planet sipping a coffee. Dana was looking grim and avoided eye contact with her and was turned away from everyone. Alice was absentmindedly rubbing her cheek as she stared at her friends and the other people in the arena.

Lets leave, Jean Claude finally spoke seeing the tired and exhausted faces around him.

Where are we going? Alice said as they followed Jean Claude out of the building.

My home. Guilty Pleasures.

Were going to your place? The strip club? Both Shane and Dana looked at her and the glint in her eyes and exchanged a glance. It was going to be a long night.

*****

Wow this is SO cool! Alice exclaimed walking around Jean Claudes room. She hadnt sat still since the moment they had entered. Shed been jumping from one object to the other asking a thousand-and-one questions along the way. Shane was getting tired just looking at her.

This is totally medieval. I cant believe you actually live here. I mean I thought itd be all dark and grim like a dungeon. You know with torches on the wall so ok you do have torches, but it looks awesome. And theres no coffin. Dont you people sleep in coffins? Jean Claude smiled at the young reporter. He found her quite amusing. A breath of fresh air. And she seemed to have a keen mind. He could see what it must have been that had attracted Musette to her. Although he did wonder how the two had met in the first place.

She picked her up in a club, Shane said without being asked. Looking at Alice who had now stopped pacing and was sitting on the edge of one of the chairs, she continued.

And Alice was dumb enough to think Gabby, sorry Musette, was a nice person. We told her wed kick her ***** and she still went for it.

Hey Gabby I mean Musette was ok. Besides cold in the streets hot between the sheets. Jean Claude broke into laughter.

What?!

I dont believe Ive ever heard her described her that way, he said still chuckling.

Well, I wouldnt have gone with her if I had known she was dead. Shane grimaced at this and looked at Jean Claude a little uncertainly. Alice has a tendency at times to be a bit tactless.

We are not dead, Asher said matter of factly and moved to sit next to Alice. He took her hand in his. Alice tried to pull away, but he was holding on very tightly.

If I were dead, Id be cold. He withdrew his arm. Alice looked at him. Then at Shane. She reached out and touched his wrist. Then she turned around and touched Jean Claudes wrist.

How come youre colder than he is?

Because I have yet to feed, ma jeune amie. Alice took a moment to process this.

So, your body temperature goes up when you feed? Jean Claude nodded.

How do you feed? Do you like go out in the street and find people to bite or

I have donors, Jean Claude said. Alice followed his eyes travel first to Jason and then to Anita. She nodded. She had so many more questions to ask, she didnt even know where to start. Then suddenly she remembered the conversation between Shane, Dana and Tonya.

What about Tonya? And what were you guys talking about? Shane looked over at Dana who dropped her head in her hands and let out a sigh. Time to face the piper.

I have something to tell you, Al
