“No, I’m sorry, but it’s impossible.”

“Mr. Falk-”

“Call me Sander.”

“Okay, Sander then, please. It’s Christmas, and these kids have nowhere else to go. Besides I have a signed contract.”

“It was signed by my brother. Not me.”

“But it’s for this address.” Noelle couldn’t believe her ears.

Just when she thought they were getting along. He’d even made a few jokes, and then, bam, Mr. Wannabe-Grinch was back in gear. What happened to make him this way?

“You have to go, I just want to be left alone,” his anger seemed to come out of nowhere. No, not anger exactly, more like frustration.

“No,” she narrowed her eyes at him.

“No?” His look of astonishment amused her further.

“You heard me, no.”

“I think maybe I heard you wrong,” he glowered at her, but Noelle didn’t back down.

“Nope, you heard me just fine. Excuse me,” she turned her back to him and jotted notes on her tablet before shooting off a message to her assistants.

She walked into the ballroom where the party w

  • Falk Clan Tales   Chapter 13 : Epilogue

    “Whoever said dreaming was free had never wanted to own a Minerva Lykos original!” Winifred Falk joked as she and the other Dragon mates climbed out of the stretched limo they had taken together for Minnie’s new show.“You still outbid me, heifer,” Noelle, Sander’s mate, whispered, mock-glaring at the image of the tiny Dragon figurine the Alpha’s mate had bought.“Too bad, so sad,” Fred said with a laugh. “So, when will they be delivered?” she asked.“The gallery should have everything wrapped and shipped before the New Year,” Minnie explained.She was delighted that the entire Falk Clan, except for Castor and Jozette who stayed home to watch all the children, had come to her showing. The past two weeks had sped by in a blur of excitement, and Minnie could not be happier.“I still can’t believe you dedicated almost every piece to Dragons and Wolves. OMG! Look here, Artist Times says your showing was a raving success and Minerva Lykos’ art is both profound and charming. The pe

  • Falk Clan Tales   Chapter Twelve

    Nicholas took the steps to Castle Falk two at a time, barely stopping to greet Callius and his brothers in the foyer before setting off to greet his mate.His mate. No matter how many times he thought about it, he always grinned like a madman. How did he get so lucky? Minerva Lykos was everything he ever wanted in a female.She was feisty and fun, curvy and confident, brilliant, and surprisingly vulnerable when he least expected it. A goddess in the sheets, and a worthy adversary when playing video games. The game console was the next thing they’d set up that morning. He could not wait for a rematch of strip trivia and had been listening to a podcast featuring pop culture references just to brush up on his skills.Afterwards, Nick reluctantly went down to the construction site to oversee the delivery of some important materials. He hated leaving her, but he knew better than to coddle his fearsome she-Wolf, besides, she’d had to run her finished artwork over to the gallery in Manh

    “Can I keep you?”Minnie flexed her hips, trying to entice the sexy Dragon closer, but she stilled instantly when he asked that one simple question. Her heart damn near ran away with itself. It was all Minnie could do not to throw her head back, and howl at the moon—er, sun, more likely since it was after five in the morning—like some crazy banshee.She cupped his face in her hands, her earlier tears dried now that he was here, and in her arms, professing love, and offering her the world. Her Wolf peered through her eyes, and she watched his Dragon rise to meet her. Minnie pulled him down, kissing him soundly as she nodded her head.“Yes, you can keep me, Nicky. Especially if I get to keep you right back,” she returned.Electrical currents shot through every nerve ending she possessed, and Minnie felt her pulse taking off like a rollercoaster. Nick’s heavy body crushed her into the mattress, but she loved it. Loved how he felt so close, but not yet a part of her.Unable to co

    Nick walked into Wet Heat with his brother Devine following closely. The place reeked of humans and something else in the darkness near the stage where females writhed on long metal poles in next to nothing.He spied his prey front and center, waving around hundred-dollar bills that did not belong to him, and Nick’s inner beast snarled angrily. He wanted nothing more than to take the human outside and burn him to ashes with a single shot of his flames, but Nicholas knew better,“Not here,” Devine whispered from beside him.Movement to his right caught his attention, and soon two enormous men were blocking his path. Devine grinned, his brother itching for a brawl, but Nicholas needed to keep his head.“Boss asked us to bring you over,” one male muttered.“Make it quick. I have business here,” Nick growled, motioning for the men to lead the way.He was brought to a corner table where a beefy barrel-chested male sat smoking a cigar and watching the dancers. He smelled of fur a

    Minnie was waiting for the clay to finish baking in the kiln before she began painting the last of the three figurines that Roger had broken.Of the three, this was the only one she had done in clay. The other two were a mix of wires and fabric string. That was the thing about sculpting, anything was her medium. Because of the holidays, she’d turned her attention to celestial beings like angels and constellations, bringing them to life with anything that took her fancy.All day, though, she’d been dying to ask Nicholas for permission to use his form in her work. A hunk of stone Sunny had sent over to her sat in the corner of the room with a note identifying it as some kind of quartz. The silver, red, orange, and gold swirled through the beautiful specimen, reminding her of Nicholas’ eyes.Ever since she’d seen it, Minnie had associated the stone with Nick. The seed was already planted, she just needed to confirm her imaginings with actual visual representation of Nick’s Dragon. A

    “It looks great!” Minerva raced from room to room, her happiness so bright it was like a semi-visible little bubble of joy had enveloped the petite she-Wolf.Nicholas watched her with equal parts want and need. Slow was not the norm for their kind, and yet, he seemed to be operating on a level faster than Minerva. His Dragon was done searching. She was the one for him.His topaz rose. His chosen. His maiden fair. His mate.Es meus.But why didn’t she seem to know it? He exhaled slowly as he picked up the list River had left him. Things had progressed much faster than he’d expected of the young Wolf he had only recently hired to work for Graystone Builders. Sunny’s brother had more than proven himself in the last few weeks. He was honorable, reliable, and he knew better than to leave his scent around the house of a Dragon’s mate.He’d damn near laughed aloud when Minerva had asked him if all the bleach had been necessary, and he’d replied with some noncommittal answer about mo
