Click hereIn fact, Marine hadn't been his original target. Alex was. That was why Riley was sent to pose as a lawyer in the firm that Alex was recruited in. It had taken him about a month to master the constitutional laws and another month to learn the jargons. The change in targets on the last minute had confused him. However, Riley's job was never to question his superiors.
When he entered the meeting room a while later, he knew that there was no questioning the next mission set out for him. Vanguards were never allowed to choose their missions and failure was never tolerated.
"I'm aware that you've met your next target."
"Yes Sir."
"That's very good. Now, she is the most important component of our research so you need to take extra care when bringing her in. Your ability to mask your scent should lower her defenses enough to trust you. However, your task is not to take her out but to bring her back here in one piece, preferably uncompromised."
"No drugs you mean," said Riley stiffly. "You want me to bring her back in perfect mental and physical health."
"Yes."
"And then you will release my brother?"
Connor paused to look at the others present at the meeting.
"We'll discuss this again when you've completed your task. Dismissed."

You mentioned at the start of chapter 1 that this story was BEFORE 'The Hunters', yet this story so far deals with the children of the characters of TH. In other words, the next generation . Also, Kyros killed Connor in the end of the battle scenes in TH and everyone lived HEA. Yet, Connor is alive and well and all the genetic experiments are still ongoing in this story. How is this storyline before TH? By the way, you're right about this story being able to stand on its own. However, I started from TLAW, and as good as this story is, I'm completely confused at the moment. What did I miss? Thank you.

Okay, I'm with you now! Very interesting chapter, and the intrigue is killing me *laugh* now I'm wondering what will happen in the next chapter!
a nice update with more intrigues for us to ponder about. i hope the next is due in a short while ;-)
Instead of turning in his mate, he should have appealed for help from Alex and from Marine's parents to help rescue his brother. And if he does manage to bring in Keona, she's no longer untouched as required. Alex will bring in family to find her and Marine.
i have read ur all stories and its like craving to read them again coz the way u add twist , drama , love and passion in your story its simply enticing and this series is another best of your creation .........please do write next part of this story very soon coz i,m desperately waiting to know further of the story and really ur are one of the best author on this site and my best.
U r one of my favorite authors on this site. I Love coming to your page and seeing that little yellow NEW! I love all of your stories forget the haters!
I can understand some of the anonymous person comments. Some people want a faster ending than others. While I hate being on edge, I do love this story. I can't wait to read whats next.
I myself normally wait until a series of stories has ended because so many writers disappear to their daily lives. I think what he/she was saying was they may not want to be disappointed by not getting an ending at all.
I do have a question though. Why is Marine used as bait? She is full vampire and sure she knows Keona but they aren't particularly close.
Pay no attention to anonymous. As we all know, anyone who posts as anonymous is not worth taking note of. I love the way your plots always twist and turn and keep me guessing. I read series work because I like to ponder what might happen next and then get surprised when it is taken in another direction. Anonymous wants their cake and eat it too - they are too impatient so let them go read short stories.
You have given us 2 sets of mates who are very different from one another. Keona is strong and very dominate while Riley is as innocent as innocence can be. Just watching how these two females face life in this story will be interesting. Add to that the fact they are both mated. Alex seems to exude all that is male while Riley is? I feel sorry for Riley. In having to turn over his mate to get his brother back. This wasn't supposed to be his mate, it was just a job. And now Riley has nothing. No brother, no mate, and oh yea another job.
Yes you have given us two mated couples to follow, and what adventures I know you will bring us!
I hope you ignore the prev fella's comment! Doesn't he/she know that writing isn't easy? Meh.
This chapter's made things much clearer and I'm crossing my fingers like mad. How the hell is Riley going to go lure Keona in now? Will he seduce her? Oooo that'd be nice to have Alex rip his throat out or somthing...(yikes) but then that'd kill Marine and make me sad coz I like her! I mean she's not kick ass like Key but I think her purpose in this story is to make us feel sorry for her right?
i cant help but get the feeling that this is like watching a season of 24... so many cliff hangers, too large a gap, and not enough resolutions (stacked with the disappointments)...
I will note that 24 pissed me off enough to wait till the season was out on DVD then watched it in 1 sitting... i think ill have to do it for "Pushing Boundary's" as well... great stuff, but i felt empty and dejected at the end of this chapter and the fact that its 1 more week till the next ch only helped to make me feel even more worn down
