?However, as Tiffany approached Rosa, she was met with fierce resistance. Rosa's voice filled with anger as she yelled, "Reaves is mine! No one will take him away from me!" The intensity of her words sent chills down Tiffany's spine, but she refused to back down.
Just as tension reached its peak, Nexus, always quick to seize an opportunity, turned behind Rosa and delivered a swift blow, knocking her unconscious. The room fell into an eerie silence, broken only by the sound of Rosa's shallow breaths.
Tiffany stood there, stunned by the turn of events. She couldn't believe what had just unfolded before her eyes. As she gathered her thoughts, she approached Rosa cautiously, checking to ensure she was still breathing. The weight of the situation pressed heavily on her shoulders.
Then she sagged heavily against the wall. The pressure of the entire thing weighing down on her. Her own health was at stake and with each breath she took, she felt even weaker.
Nexus caught her before she reached the ground.
Tiffany's realization hit her like a ton of bricks. The weight of her mother's fragile state finally sank in, and she felt her own strength waver. Overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation, she turned to Nexus, her voice trembling, "Nexus, I... I don't know what to do. It's all too much for me to handle on my own."
Nexus, always the reliable friend, rushed to Tiffany's side, concern etched on their face. They gently guided her to sit on the floor, offering a comforting presence. "Hey, Tiff, take a deep breath. You're doing the best you can in an incredibly tough situation. Remember, you don't have to face this alone. We're in this together."
As he let Tiffany sagg to the floor, her body betraying her exhaustion, Nexus reached out and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I know it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders right now but remember to take care of yourself too. You can't pour from an empty cup. Let's take a moment to breathe and gather our thoughts."
They sat in silence for a while, the weight of their emotions hanging in the air. Nexus broke the silence, their voice filled with empathy, "Tiffany, it's okay to ask for help. Remember, you're not alone in this journey."
Tiffany nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. She realized that she needed to prioritize her own well-being in order to be there for her mother, but she couldn't bring herself to.
She felt better though, that Nexus was with her.

Around her 'throne', curtains of pink surrounded her like pink waterfalls. From top to bottom, they flowed down in gentle streams, occasionally fluttering as a breeze rustled through. Behind the streams of pink satin, tall scented candles sat on elegant lamp stands, filling the room with a lush pink glow.
It was like a barbie play house.
Only with the sexual allure of a mistress' den.
"How long?" Mary croaked- trying to mask her excitement; "How long do you think we have till someone else decides to come for their wealth?"
Angel's pretty face rose up from her elegant neck.
She was kneeling on a large pink pillow- in front of Mary's chair. Her knees were pressed together. Both her arms were stretched out before her. And on her head, her golden hair had been braided into a crown of golden locks.
Her lips parted, and her sing song voice came;
"It won't be long now," she replied quietly; "At the moment, the James family estate is in utter disarray."
"And the girl?"
"Too busy being a big bad alpha," Mary answered again, tilting her slender neck; "Right now, I don't think, she's in the right state of mind to handle administrative duties."
On Mary's face, the curve of her upper lip slipped upwards. A flash of greediness streaked across her perfect ivory skin, and her shoulders heaved upwards. Gripping the arm chair, she rasped excitedly;
"There's no time to waste then. Get on with it. Visit their southern warehouses, and show them a little bit of my 'hospitality.' Be sure to let the James family know 'how much' we care. . ."
From top to bottom, her entire speech rang with incredulous sarcasm. It dogged her tone. It saturated her aura. And even glittered in her eyes.
"My lady?" Angel shifted uncomfortably, angling her head, until she finally fixed locked eyes with the grand succubus; "You want me to. . .to take it all? Like actually plunder the warehouses?"
Immediately she said it, regret bore down on her.
Madam Kay's throaty voice, deeper than a drunken oaf, came thundering through the veil of curtains;
"YOU WANT ME TO SAY IT OUT LOUD?" her rich black eyes burned with a terrifying blackness; "ARE YOU A COP???"
"Heartfelt apologies madam," Angel bowed her head; "I understand."
She really did.
And she went on to show it.
...............
Within that very hour, just a few miles east, Angel's shadow fell on one of the sun soaked walls.
She stood still, draped in all black garments- with a black veil covering her mouth and nose, pressed up against the wall. With her gleaming eyes strained forward, she scoured the length and breadth of the fence.
'No guards?' she thought breathlessly, raising her eyebrows in suspicion; 'Why woul-'
The answer came thundering down on her mind, nearly knocking her off her feet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Of course. . .a huge chunk of their men were probably chewed off. . .well. . .this is going to be easy. . .'
With a surprising agility, the five foot succubus, thrust her left foot forward. Her right foot followed with a quickness. She craned her veiled neck forward, spreading her arms out behind her- charging right at the fence.
'Here goes nothing. . .'
A sharp breath sliced through her nostrils, and the tendon in her right knee tensed. With a quick jerk, she arched her spine backwards, and leaped high into the air. The momentum shot her upwards, raising her three feet in the air.
'Come on. . .'
Mid-air, she lurched forward, thrashing the void with her swinging arms- reaching forward till her palm grabbed hold of the ledge. The jagged edges of the concrete wall ate into her gloves, and she cursed aloud;
"Fock shit. . ."
Angel growled, kicking her knees, and sliding upwards- till she hauled her black-clad body over the top.
"I just go these!"
She complained bitterly as she let go. A soft crunch echoed under her feet as she landed on the other side- and the glare of the evening sun momentarily blinded her.
"YOU THERE! HOLD IT!"
Angel's whole body reacted even before her mind did. Instinctively, even before she laid eyes on her attacker, she dropped to a low crouch, thrust her upper body forward, and rolled into a ball. At the same time, the unmistakable wheezing sound of an arrow, whirred just over her head.
Fuck- she'd been overly confident.
"FREEZE!" the booming voice came again; "Freeze damn it! Or there next one goes into your heart!"
Heart racing, eyes widening, and crouched on all fours on the dry grass, Angel froze.
