1Chapter 1
Quinn was having a hard time finding Rashel. She should have been home hours ago from shopping with Hannah. He was so preoccupied that he barely heard the footsteps until they were right outside his door. He could easily distinguish the footsteps as four men, all vampires. He could hear their conversation easily.
"Do you think they're here?" John Jr., the oldest of the four.
"They should be." Keith, the youngest of them.
Quinn knew these voices, and these were the voices of his boys, his children. He had five boys, but one was killed by a vampire slayer a few years ago. The boys had been looking for their mother reincarnated for hundreds of years, much like Thierry and Hannah. Wasn't it a miracle what witches could do?
"I'm in here boys."
"He's here!" They shouted together, rushing into the room where Quinn was.
"Dad, we found her! We found mom!" John said.
"Seda!" Quinn whispered to himself. He remembered her: he remembered her well. She had been beautiful. Back in the 1400s Thierry had owned a castle in London, and Quinn was a noble of Thierry's court. Seda was a servant in the castle. She was only twelve years old. One day she overheard part of a conversation between him and Thierry where he had asked Thierry how he could stand to be around humans. They were such vermin. She had stood up to him even though talking back to a noble was punishable by death. She thought that he was speaking of himself and she was furious. It was then that he had earned the respect for her strong will. To this day he knows of no other human with her strong will. She was also the only person, human or Night World, who could make him mad. They were married when she was fourteen and she never discovered his secret. He had a witch from Thierry's court cast a fertility spell on him and they ended up having five boys. John Quinn Jr.; Caleb Quinn; Smithsonian Quinn, who was killed by a vampire slayer; Jacob Quinn; and Keith Quinn. She met her soulmate a few months before they were to marry, a vampire named Dimitri. She knew nothing of the soulmate principle and could not understand why he was so furious with her about her marriage to Quinn. He disappeared the day after the wedding and did not return until she was thirty years of age. He tried to turn her into a vampire but she was too old to withstand the process and was killed. Now she was back.
"Where is she?"
"San Francisco. She's in high school."
"Grade?"
"9th. A freshman."
"Name?"
"Tiffany Maiden."
"Where is she now?"
"Hunter has her."
Quinn remembered his adoptive father Hunter. He felt the hatred for him rise up in him as the sound of his name.
"I thought Hunter was dead, a victim of Delos and the blue fire."
"He is, Lily had a son and named him Hunter."
"What would he want with her?"
"We don't know, dad."
"Get out of here, and keep an eye out for Rashel."
