Kylian: An Urban Fantasy: 4 (Circle of Assassins)

Power is intoxicating. Anyone who says you can overdo it is either incompetent or a very good liar. Ive chased down every scrap of additional magic that crossed my path drained it and started the hunt anew. My obsession hasnt made me much of a companion. I wouldnt have blamed my bondmate for leaving but the snow leopard has stuck by my side.It pains me to admit hes my sole connection to my better nature. He tempers my penchant for blowing holes in the world and asking questions later. Not that he has a soft side. He doesnt but weve taken care of each other for all the years in my memory.Information just fell into my lap. Critical material I should have picked up on if Id been paying attention. My next stop is Grigori the werewolf who heads up a gang of paranormal assassins. Once I was part his Circle but I left to sharpen my seer skills. No matter how adept I became scrying the future-or the past-didnt augment my power so I moved on. Flitting from this to that to the other has been the story of my obscenely long life.No more. Its back to the Circle for the leopard and me. Well remain as long as were needed.
