Titan watched as the Queen slowly rose from the ground. Blood lent savagery to her features as she looked straight at the wolves who were slowly working themselves into a frenzy. "Leave this place!" She demanded in an ancient tone, punctuated by the snap in her eyes as her dragon warred within her. "Honor your Alpha, he died a warriors death today without fear in his heart and let no one speak any differently." Her power was undeniable as the soundwaves rippled with it, and then April turned to Todd who still lay on the ground, winded from tackling a 300lb man.
"Thank you." She said simply but, to Todd at least, it sounded an awful lot like goodbye.
"I know about your curse, and I promise to come back with you to cure it, but you must leave these lands today, leave the Desdayos dragons in peace, and never return."
Todd stood up, and even his wolf agreed that the woman standing before them was very different from the childhood friend he remembered. It seemed fitt
'I don't want to open my eyes.' Celine tried so hard to stay asleep but, her body wouldn't cooperate and she badly needed to pee. "Kevin, can you pass me my robe honey?" She mumbled. It was the lack of response from her husband that made her slowly open one eye. For a second she was puzzled at her surroundings, and then it all came rushing back, and Celine shot up, reaching for Kevin, but her hand only encountered the cold sheets. And she knew.With tear-filled eyes, she glanced around, looking for anything that would tell her he had changed his mind, and Celine's heart skipped a beat when the flashing of his cell phone caught her attention. Stuck to the screen was a post-it note, with Kevin's telltale chicken scribble on it, and through her tears, she smiled at the typical Keviness of it."Press play." The chicken scribble read.And so she did.There was a moment when her clumsy man dropped his phone before he righted it, and Celine found herself looking
Kevin nodded at Lucien to show he understood what the top dog wanted before he signaled to the guards that he was ready. "Keep your wits about you Irish." The Alpha wolf cautioned, but Kevin didn't need telling twice. Fourteen months behind bars had a way of conditioning a man, and if Lucien hadn't taken him under his wing, he had no doubt that berserker blood or not, he would have been dead or somebody's 'wife' long before now.The last of the security doors opened, and Kevin stepped outside to feel the morning sun caressing his cheeks. Soon he would be on his way back to Desdayos, back to Celine and they could finally put this chapter of their lives behind them.He was just about to call a cab from the payphone when a sleek black limo pulled up to the curbside. The back passenger's window wound down just a touch, and the first song, Kevin heard as a free man began to play."Turn down the lightsTurn down the bedTurn down these voices, insi
I wasn't looking for her I swear. The Royal lands were just a short cut that my pack and I were passing through. But that smell was damn near the death of me and I had to follow it. Sweet pumpkin pie mixed with something unique to her was what my mate smelt like.At twenty-five I had assumed that the Moon Goddess decided to forgo a mate for me, so it hit me like a tonne of bricks, and I was completely unprepared. Deacon, my 2IC was left with his mouth hanging ope
The jukebox seemed to stop the moment Aimee entered the bar, several heads turned towards the door and she could hear some poorly covered gasps,yes ladies and gents, the wild child has returnedshe thought to herself, proudly raising her head and looking at each member daring to stare at her directly in the eyes.Her presence crackled with violence and confidence as she sauntered up to the bar, raising an eyebrow at the rotter sitting on her barstool; the middle-aged woman quickly vacated her seat, clearly not willing to get into things with
Moltenlava warmed the skin of the old ones, bathing in the furnaces. Scales alight with flames as the legends made flesh revelled in their mighty forms.Dragonlords ruled the salty earth, making other species bow to their wills, as it should be, as it will be forever. And the dragons were happy.But high above in the heavens of Asgard, a trickster watched the great beasts frolic in the volcanoes they called home and plotted a grand misdeed.
Dedicated to my eldest daughter Hayley, turning 13 today and never doubting my ability to write these books, Happy birthday sweetheart xxLong ago when this world was young, ancient beings roamed freely, living off the land and their skills, survival a natural way of life, as deeply engrained as the desire to breathe.Within this world two young lovers gave birth to a special little girl, whom they called Vilinelle; and she was a symbol of the best parts of every living thing wrapped up in one tiny form.As Vilinelle grew

"Frederico, the kingdom has fallen. We haven't much time!" Lady Lisbeth Delgaard rushed to where the babies lay, sleeping in their crib. Knowing she wasted precious moments-nevertheless, the Dragonlady gazed upon her children. The twins looked so different, yet she loved them equally as fierce. Ragnar took after her with his fiery temper and the telltale bulk that spoke of his dragon heritage. Whereas Gio was smaller, with dark eyes that changed color according to his mood, and there was no doubt that he held his father's wolf genes. Mixed species couples were killed on sight in Desdayos, and as the war reached the inner sanctum, a difficult decision needed to be made.The sound of the door being rammed downstairs caused Lisbeth to grab Ragnar and Gio, holding onto them protectively as Frederico burst into the nursery, "The guards are here, my love. There is no more time." Lisbeth handed Gio over with a gentle kiss, and her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the ma
