The term usually used to describe Cabals is supernatural corporate Mafia. The corporate part is important :) They’re businesses run by and staffed by supernaturals who use their power to gain an advantage, often in a negative way (hence the Mafia part!)
As for keeping at story flowing, the best advice I can give is to entertain yourself first. If I’m not entertained by my story–if I’m not enjoying the plot and the characters–it’s just not going to flow for me.
