get moving soon.” She nodded toward the windows and Nikola stepped in front of her shoving her behind him, before a large boom shook the house.
    “Looks like we have no choice.” Nikola yelled. His warriors suddenly appeared and grabbed the women, and just as suddenly disappeared from the room, taking them to Rose Island. Nikola grabbed onto Castor and Lissa, flashing them to the main building there.
    “Take her inside, while I help get the rest of our people here. You’ll find the house is all up to date and stocked.” Nikola glanced down at Lissa and kissed her lips hard.
    “Keep inside Lissa and stay with Castor.” He didn’t give her a chance to reply as he flashed back to the mainland leaving them on the porch of the castle like structure. On the last trip back, he hovered over the island, staring down at it in the body of a hawk.
    The enemy now controlled all that was once Castor’s family home. The one thing he had never wanted to see again moved around the home, as if guarding it, a legion of half-zombie, half-Vampire men. All far too gone to cure, they all would have to be destroyed.
    “How many are there? Do you know how they were infected?” His queen asked, summoning him to her side.
    Nikola hated to make the trip to his homeland away from Lissa, but he knew they would now need more help from his own kind. He bowed to his queen and her mate. “My queen, I have no real idea yet. My mate has told a story of these creatures from over a month ago, in their world. If that is the case, it’s hard telling how many more there are now.”
    Queen Isabel paced back and forth. “Then someone from this realm is helping them. There is no other way for that kind of dark magic to be there. I need to talk with my sister Empusa, but for now, take your two old divisions of warriors with you. They are standing by and waiting. Send one team to find out how far this has spread, and have them report back to you as soon as they find anything. We must find the person who did this. We need to know what else he has unleashed upon Earth.”
    He nodded and bowed, before exiting the royal chambers and meeting with his best friend, Raymond.
    Raymond turned as he entered the large hall, all one hundred men stood at attention waiting for their orders. “I had thought never to fight those things again, but here we are once more, my friend.” Raymond clasped his arm in a warriors greeting and nodded to him. “Were do you want us?”
    Nikola stood tall, looking out at his many friends and nodded. “Zancor will take twenty men and start in New York, where my mate first saw the infected one. We need to know how far this has spread and who started it.”
    He turned to face Raymond. “Raymond, I want you on Rose Island with me. We are using this island as our stronghold during this fight, so we’ll need the added protection.”
    Raymond slapped him on the shoulder. “Say no more, the island will be protected and secured.” They both transported to the island, while the men spread out doing as they were told. He moved inside the large old castle, which now would be their home. Castor, Pierre and Adonis all talked with Remi and the other men, while Lissa and the other woman were nowhere in sight.
    “Castor, where is she?” Nikola asked. All talk stopped and their attention turned towards him. He knew half a day had passed since he had left, time was different in the realms, no one ever knew how long they would be gone.
    “She’s with the other woman, and I don’t appreciate the attitude, Nikola. You might be my mate, but you do not control me.” Castor declared showing his dominance, but right now was not the time to correct him. Nikola appeared in front of him in an instant, and leaned down.
    “You are right. I shouldn’t have snapped, and we will finish this later tonight…” He straightened and glanced around the room.
    “But if any of you have any sense, you would have checked, because right now, there is not one
