Destined Mates Series Chapter 15: Magic's Mate
Adira watched as Dimitri closed the door behind him. She felt terrible, blaming herself for the attack on Lainie. Dimitri's sister must have been attacked because of the way Adira mouthed off to Augur at the bar. This was the coyotes' way of retaliating. They couldn't get to her, so they went after her friend. Adira came to Bull Creek to help, but so far, all she did was make things worse. Not such a big help, huh? She only hoped Lainie was all right. Adira wasn't sure if Dimitri would forgive her if his sister were seriously hurt because of her. Hell, she wasn't sure if she could forgive herself.Turning to fix herself some tea, she placed her hand on Dimitri's teeth marks, and almost yelped at the touch, the sharp, electric sensations sending tendrils of pain throughout her body. Even without looking, she could imagine the bruise that formed on her lower shoulder. With a deep breath, bracing for the tender stings of pain, she caressed the deep impressions left by Dimitri's teeth, esp

Adira's head throbbed where Augur cracked it with…well, with whatever it was he used to hit her. Adira had no idea what that was, only that it hurt like hell. Then and now. Her eyes fluttered as she tried to open them, the light in the room stinging. She could hear voices off to the side—Bane and Augur—discussing what to do with Dimitri when he arrived to rescue her. She struggled against her bonds, pressing against the ropes that held her in place. She couldn't allow Bane to use her to hurt Dimitri. She wouldn't allow it. She tried to twist her hands, so she could use her power to get out of her bindings, but the coyote pack was smarter than she gave them credit for and bound her wrists so that she couldn't move her fingers. She grinned as she glanced off to the side where they stood, Bane conversing with Augur, while two others sat at a table in the corner playing cards or something. Not one of them seemed concerned with the woman bound to the chair. They were so naïve. So stupid. I
Destined Mates Series Chapter 17: Magic's Mate
The sounds of fighting could be heard outside the cabin—panthers, a wolf, coyotes, even a bear. Their cries mixed with pain and agony. Augur jerked away from the window and darted toward the front door. Whatever happened outside, apparently scared him. Adira watched as he jerked the door open and reached outside. One of the men who went to the back emerged and darted to the front door to take Augur's place. A quick glance over her shoulder showed that the other guy remained in the back. Now was her chance. Taking a deep breath, she sent power through her arms, sending blue light from her forearms to sizzle and help her break the ropes that held her. They shredded, charred, and fell to the ground as she sprang from the chair, knocking it backward.The noise startled the goon who headed to the front door, causing him to spin toward Adira. She jerked her arm out, palms up, as blue fire erupted from her hand and sent a ball of energy into the man's chest. The power picked him up, sending h

It took longer with Chet than they wanted, but by the time they fabricated explanations that could be put down in a report for what transpired at Bane's cabin, everyone was content, and Adira and Dimitri rushed back to her place. Yet, the craving they felt for each other couldn't wait, and as soon as they were out of sight of the sheriff and his men, as well as the crime scene unit roping off Bane's cabin, they groped at each other's clothing, ripping them from their bodies as they dropped to the ground, their clothes a pile of shredded fabric around them. Twigs and branches poked into their exposed flesh, but neither one of them cared. They each wanted the other, their passion a hunger that wouldn't be abated until they possessed what their bodies craved.Adira ran her hands up his back, her nails clawing into him as he plastered her neck and shoulders with kisses, his lips warm on her flesh. She arched her back, shoving her chest into his, pressing into him until there wasn't even ro

Eve Hartlow stared at the top of her beer bottle, frustration filling her at how she felt. She was tired of being helpless, of feeling like everyone in the world could take care of themselves except her. Even worse, she felt like she couldn't help defending her friends, which was obvious when everyone went after Bane Kastner when he abducted Adira a few days ago. Everyone, that is, except her. The others could shift, transforming into their animals, and race off to kick the coyote's ass, while Eve was stuck at Adira's cabin watching them all run off to Adira's rescue. Eve took a giant swallow from her beer, trying to drown out her helplessness."Not used to seeing you in here without your all-female posse," Noel Hastings said as she set a fresh beer in front of Eve. "Of course, I haven't seen you in here this early, either. You doing all right?" Noel leaned on the bistro table, her hands clasped together as she stared at Eve, ready to be a shoulder if needed. Eve wasn't sure when Noel
Destined Mates Series Chapter 20: Mate's Appeal
Shades bustled with customers as people sought to get rid of the workweek and embrace the weekend. Arlin Landry stood by the front door, making sure the younger residents of Draven Falls didn't try to slip past through the front doors and trick a busy bartender for drinks. The North Carolina night was cool, in drastic contrast with the sweaty atmosphere of the inside of the bar, with just enough breeze to keep it comfortable without making it too cold. Overhead, the leaves rustled in the wind as the moon continued to climb into the night sky. Outside was peaceful while inside was anything but, especially in the back of Shades where a small group was making enough of a ruckus to drown out the DJ stationed in the middle of the bar. The noise was enough to make Arlin grateful he was positioned at the front door with the door wide open.Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath as another scream came from the back of the bar. Arlin understood the need to blow off steam, of having fun and get

When are you going to stop dancing around Josh and just give in to him?" Eve Hartlow asked her friend as they wandered the dirt roads of Bull Creek. The Florida sun was high overhead, bringing the stifling heat to the wooded community and a sweat to her brow. Still, Eve would take it over the frozen winters up north any day of the week. "I'm not a shifter, and even I can smell how the air changes when you two are around each other. Why keep the poor guy at arm's length?"A couple of days had passed since Eve's self-pity party at Everglades, and she had managed to give herself a couple of pep talks that rustling bushes didn't scare her anymore. Alanna had been right. There are too many noises in Bull Creek to start jumping at each one now."Arm's length? Trust me, he's been a lot closer than that," Alanna Bradbury said with a wink and a laugh. Then she shrugged. "I'm just not ready for that type of commitment yet. I'm a wolf without a pack, still feeling my way around."Eve chuckled. "F
Destined Mates Series Chapter 22: Mate's Appeal
Arlin Landry shook his head at the two women who seemed clueless as they walked down the dirt road, blindly going about their business, lost in whatever conversation had them so absorbed that they couldn't even pay attention to the vehicle coming down the road right at them. He sighed as they turned the corner down the dirt road just before his brother's cabin and finally out of his way. He wasn't sure if it was because they were female or the fact that they lived in this backwoods community that had them so negligent about their surroundings, but it would frustrate him to no end if everyone in Bull Creek were the same way. Draven Falls may not be a metropolitan, but people paid attention to what they did and where they walked. He blew out a breath, trying to calm his nerves. Relax, Arlin old boy. This is precisely why Jed Hawkins sent you out here, to chill your over-stressed emotions.He pulled into the dirt drive of his brother's cabin with a shake of his head. He knew he needed sol
