          turning her head quickly, she felt her skin prickle and her insides turn. she wasn’t scared - hell if the male wanted her dead she would’ve been dead the night they met at the bar, instead he was joking and thinking she was going to go along with it after the stunt his sister managed to pull. ‘ i’ll just set fire to them next, ’ she hissed before taking the last swing of her beer and slamming the bottle down on the bar table, her eyes glowing with hatred, betrayal – anything other than happiness or lust like the night before. ‘ got some nerve sitting next to me. especially when you don’t know what i’m capable of. ’

“I doubt they’d appreciate that either,” he deadpanned, showing no emotion towards her clear temper flaring up inside of her. “I don’t think anyone in town would -- it is the only bar in town.” Leo paused, taking a nice long swig of his drink. “Actually this is my seat, the one I’m at every time I come here. The one I was in when we last spoke, if you remember correctly. So I’d say you’re the one sitting here, looking for me.”

‘’It’s a true tragedy.’’ A sad smile crossed her face as she toyed with her hair. ‘’You don’t bite? That’s a little ironic. We both know that’s not true.’’She laughed quietly, and added,’’ How could I say no? Your wish is my command.’’ Monique smiled again and sat right next to him.’’ Your wish is rather simple.’’

“Well I wouldn’t tell the others. The new humans in town may get a little uncomfortable,” he shrugged, re-positioning himself on the bar stool until his body was facing her, his knees brushing against her own. “Does that mean I get another? Or how about two more wishes, like a genie?” he chuckled, taking a swig of his drink.

tinywolf-iliana:

“Yeah, well, David or Leo, you’re still hot, and I take chances when they’re handed to me.” She watched him like a hawk as he edged closer, but she was holding her ground. “Just don’t like being lied to” She pouted, wanting that drink five seconds ago, reaching out to take the shot, drinking it quickly, so he couldn’t steal it, again. “Is it your intent to keep driving me crazy?”

“I’m sorry I lied to you. I assure it won’t happen again,” he told her firmly, closing the space between them, letting his hand rest on the bar behind her. Her question made him crack a smile. “Only if it’s working.”

‘  my karma may be  c r a p  ,  but at least it’s  FUN.  shame you got stuck in the blood-sucking business;  we could have used a face like yours on our team.  would be nice to have decent competition.  ’

“That would be the life. And think about it, this face is 100% au naturale. Can yours say the same?”

charlottevcltaire:

“It sounds like you think we have something to do with that.” Charlotte narrowed her gaze, body language reflecting both worry and annoyance. “But I’m more curious to know what you and you sister know of them.” With a snort, she moved back slightly. “If it makes you feel better.”

“No, no. Something tells me there’s nothing that could’ve been done for their inevitable takeover.” Though their witch murder probably didn’t help the case, though Leo would never say that. “I can’t say we know much, only what our eyes tell us. Have they spread around your neck of the woods as well?”

devereuxamelia:

        what is this man doing?? amelia has to wonder as she lets his hand linger in his. a smile breaks out on the blonde’s face, she looking to the side as she shook her head. “ and you didn’t even ask for translations. ” a small laugh escapes her lips and she shakes her head. “ you are very charmant and i’m usually not all too convinced on charm but… ” she leans forward, taking his chin in her free hand, seemingly tilting it up, and pouting slightly. “ – who am i to deny the poor boy with some language help?? ”

Dark eyes crinkle in amusement as the blonde tilts his head up to look at her, a slow smirk forming on his lips. “Then where do we begin?”

moniquxwashington:

‘’That’s too bad.’’She completely forgot her own drink. Instead, her attention was focused solely on him.’’Everywhere? Well, that’s the point. I’m a good actress, honey.Hm, probably yes.However, I want your answer to be sincere. You can pick the prize.’’

“I missed you very much,” he told her, in the most sincere voice Leo Cabello could muster. “Next time it’s been this long, stop by Town Hall and say hello. I don’t bite. --- Well...” He let his voice trail off, deciding against the awful vampire joke. “Now how about for my prize, you come drink with me?” he beckoned her closer, patting the bar stool right beside him to sit.

packlifealpha:

“We don’t.” Caleb answered bluntly that was the whole point really he kept his face blank even though he was humored by the Amish comment. “Ah shame, how will the rest of you cope without that?” He mocked, he didn’t phones if he had a message to deliver he could so in person. “Who said it will be overcrowded? Besides there is plenty of no mans land for people to go if they want some nature walks. Pack land is a dangerous place to go tromping around, us wolves being territorial and all.” He didn’t like the stink of others on his land, didn’t like the fact their privacy was being disturbed. “Besides all I ever hear is how barbaric it is to live like we do, why would anyone want to come to our land? Its our home and hunting ground not a bunch of shops.” For nothing but trouble he was sure or to prove that they could. It would only stir up trouble. He stared down the vampire not fazed by the narrowed eyes looking at him. His attention however perks up at the mention of his pack being well known by the vampire, “Horseshit.” He scoffs not believing his pack members would not only endanger themselves like that but the rest of the pack and defy his word.

“Right.” Did the alpha just try to make a joke? He guessed they couldn’t all share Leo’s sense of humor. “Dangerous how, in case one of you tries to mark you territory on us? That would certainly be embarrassing,” he wrinkled his nose. “I don’t know, sometimes the woods have their appeal. There has to be some kind of appeal, at least, considering your kind spent most of their life there. But I’m talking about visiting, not converting to werewolfism, so don’t try handing out your pamphlets within town just yet.” The vampire was enjoying himself, honestly. The man in front of him was certainly one of the few in town that Leo should be scared  of, but instead he was simply enjoying poking fun at just about anything he possibly could -- and that includes his own members. “Really? Because there’s been quite a few that were pretty cozy in my office recently. One was pretty much eating out of the palm of my hand -- and if your wife kisses half as well as she did, man, I can see the appeal in your kind finally. Talk about a wild animal.”

callumknight:

“You’d love to see me try?” So this was the guy they called the king of Maddox. “You’d love to see a vampire try and take out a couple of petty humans?” A pause. “What’s throwing you off? Their oversized weapons? The gas masks? I’m actually curious.” 

“I’d say the numbers all around town, probably,” he replied to the man, voice even although he felt his frustration rising. Leo certainly didn’t like being spoken down to. “You kill one, two, maybe five, sure. But then their friends from the next block get called in and then the ones from the next block, until it’s twenty to one. And I’d say that’s not worth the same meal you can get from a feeder -- even if it is more fun.”

lovesuxksdavid:

David hid a small smile at the question, “I do have eyes Leo, so yes.” He nods placing a bookmark in his book closing it carefully as he watched his friend move through his shop. He could see the wheels already turning in his friend’s head and he knows that could always lead to bad things, violent things out of impulse. “Slaughtering them will only prompt their employer to send more with orders to use those large weapons of theirs.” David warns his friend, Leo and Gemma fancied themselves king and queen and that order of rule only worked if you had subjects left alive. “We’re being watched and studied better not to give them any useful information.” They were being colonized by the look of it. “I am sure there will be a message to speak with you and your sister soon, even the wolf alpha as well. They must want something or else they would have attacked already.” Terms to be set into motion or perhaps the idea is simple imprison the town

“They have an entire goddamn country of their kind -- but the one place that is solely our kind, and they have to take it over. They need to be shown we’re not to be messed with, we’re unafraid of their little toys,” Leo scoffed, although deep down, he knew his friend was right. David often had the rationality of Gemma, and if Gemma wanted these people alive, then the vampire had to just grit his teeth. Besides, they did have the entire town surrounding, and there was no doubt that if Leo alone chose to attack, it would take seconds before the rest of the humans were firing on everyone in Maddox. And Leo rather liked his people. “So we’re supposed to just sit here and wait?” he scoffed, running his fingers through his hair in fury.

tinywolf-iliana:

“I wasn’t. But, I wasn’t even nice to you, at first. Unless you thought my insults were subtle flirting. And, you could have just not talked to me. Admired me from afar, how I like my vampires.” She didn’t see the actual point in lying. It seemed foolish, childish even. And people criticized her for that. “Too bad. I was kind of hoping you were. You are such a let down. How can you look like all of that, and be such a disappointment?” She replied, waving the bartender down for a quick shot of whatever they had right there.

“And yet you had no problem getting comfortable in my office,” Leo countered, shrugging his shoulders once, taking a few steps closer towards her. “I fail to see what the issue here is. It’s not like I took advantage of you or something.” Right as the bartender passed the brunette the shot Leo took it in his hands, holding it out between them to offer it to her.

lydiahunts:

When he spoke her name, she whipped around, fury in her eyes. Him. The fucking brother. He did this. With the Cabellos running the town, he had to be part of the demonstration, probably roped in the witch with his charming nonsense. Years of hunting vampires and despite his charm, Lydia thought she could be proven wrong. Not once had the bloodsucking creatures broken form. They were all the same. “You didn’t frighten me. Should I be?” she asked, crossing her arms and regarding him with a cool stare. “And I am not hiding. Although you should be.” Lydia realised she shouldn’t be threatening a Cabello but the words slipped out, unfiltered and non-calculated.

Leo said nothing for a moment, eyebrows raising at the coldness in her words -- and the blatant obvious threat she was giving. It would’ve actually annoyed him, if the blonde didn’t scare him so little. “There’s no reason to hide. If people want me, they can schedule an appointment with my secretary like everybody else,” he replied wryly, a hint of a smile forming on his lips. It was a joke; there was no secretary, and there was nobody looking to meet with him. “Did your mother not teach you to not throw empty threats around like that?”

loganxgooding:

Main Street. Surely it was a great show of restraint that it hadn’t been called Cabello Avenue. Or something else obnoxious relating to the twins. Logan tried to shake some of the bitterness out of his bones. After all, he had liked them at one time. Especially Leo. Maybe the struggle inside was the fact that Leo and Gemma had seemed like outright visionaries in New York. Their parties, their presence, their promises of a normal life. It was like flying on the best high he ever had, and the crash was turning out to be equally as rough. 

He moved on to the Square. Menacing figures bookended a barrier outside of Town Hall, and other soldiers (how else could he describe them?) fanned out from there. Logan caught a glimpse of a familiar figure and quickened his pace to catch up to Leo. ‘’You’ve always been so good at capturing the attention of others. Like that one over there.’’ He pointed to an expressionless hazard mask, one identical to all the others donned by the intruders. ‘’He’s totally crushing, it’s so obvious in the way he points his gun at you.’’

@leoxcabello

Footsteps quickened behind him in a way that made Leo clench his jaw for a moment, anticipating the figure that would soon be by his side. The vampire had been on edge for days -- since the wall, since the cameras, but this one was solely because of the presence of humans in town, masks and guns ablaze. He had barely seen Gemma since the infestation, not nearly long enough to get her opinion on how they were going to handle this, whether killing these creatures would be beneficial or not. As of right now Leo was keeping his hands to himself, but it proved more difficult with each passing hour.

And Logan certainly wasn’t helping. “Hilarious,” he deadpanned, keeping his eyes straight on his direction. If pointing guns were any indication that they liked him, Leo would be crazy popular with this bunch. “Do you need something, Logan? Where’s your other half?” He glanced over at the man’s direction, eyebrows raised.

Iliana couldn’t help the laughter that followed. “Oh, you’re at least still funny.” She rolled her eyes, “What was the fake name for, all of your blazing insecurities?” The thought alone made her laugh again. “I could have come in handy down the line when you finally decide to take the rest of Caleb’s pride. Always good to have ears on the inside. Way to ruin my revenge plans, your Highness.” For once, she was being serious. Caleb had plenty of not so nice things to say about her recently.

[leoxcabello-blog]

“Because you didn’t seem like the biggest vampire fan, so I figured I rather not add fuel to the fire and tell you I’m the leader of them all,” he admitted wryly, not a hint of guilt or sheepishness in his voice. Leo didn’t see what the big deal was, personally -- she was going to find out eventually. And it’s not like he had done anything differently, other than give her the wrong name. “Will you people ever realize that not everything I do is to go against your alpha?” Leo was exasperated, but there was a hint of a smirk on his lips, somewhat amused at her accusation. 

[dylkincaid-deactivated20210906]

“Time will tell, Leo. Perhaps I see the benefit in playing dumb or I’m really unaware of the current events. We’ll all find out together.” The blonde said with a tilt of her head. Even if she believed there was information she was unaware of, it was in her best interest to keep Leo on the other side of that. The less he knew about where she stood, the better. “You’d do best. Not that it would matter much, I doubt many would believe it.” Her grin curled into something more animalistic. With a husband like hers, there was little need to look elsewhere.

[leoxcabello-blog]

“The current events as in the soldiers parading around town?” he questioned, hoping for a chance to bring that up. “What does your husband think about that one?” Leo chuckled at her comment, flashing her a wry grin right back. “And yet never say never.”

[devereuxamelia-blog]

       her eyes crinkle at the comment, amelia finding it refreshing to hear her native language, even if it’s a simple two words. “ but you don’t know what i’m saying, ” she says, curiosity sparking in her eye – so why bother?? “ of course; quelles sont les deux plus vieilles lettres de l’alphabet?? — c’est clair: a, g !! ” and cue another laugh from her, it’s childish, but she’s enjoying it.

[leoxcabello-blog]

“I don’t mind,” he promised her, taking a few steps closer towards the blonde. Leo matched her laugh with a small chuckle of his own, reaching out and taking her hand delicately in his. “Such a beautiful language, I’ve always admired it,” the vampire muttered, glancing up at her. “Is there any chance I could get you to teach me? Just the basics. In case there’s a beautiful french woman in my future I’d like to impressed,” he added with a small smirk.

[tinywolf-iliana-blog]

“I liked David better.” She muttered, gritting her teeth. “Would you prefer to talk somewhere more private, or are you just going to keep looking around like any liar might?” She didn’t care what he thought of her boldness - he deserved it. “The whole David facade. Like, what the fuck was the point of that? I would understand lying to Caleb or Charlotte before you met them, but I am literally no one.”

[leoxcabello-blog]

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he raised his eyebrows, his eyes staying on hers the entire time. “Caleb and Charlotte know who I am; I do business with them. I’m not sure why you’re so upset, all I did was give you a different name. Whether you would’ve treated me differently or not based on who I am is your problem, not mine.”
