Se connecter“Kill me, and the whole vampire nation will come after you!” Dimitri slurred his words, but they still came out.
“That may be so, your highness, or should I say lowness. You are pretty low at the moment.” Mikhail almost laughed out loud at Dimitri.
“Death won’t stop the death that will welcome you,” Dimitri said, but the words didn’t seem to form. The room went black, and Dimitri felt his body crash the rest of the way to the floor.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.” The scream echoed through the house, followed by the thump of something hitting the floor. Aarshon was the first to enter the room to see his mother on the floor, clutching her chest. When he tried to pick her up, she lashed out at him, hitting him hard enough to snap his head back. After a moment, he was able to lift her to the bed again. A large black spot marked her skin over her heart. Aarshon mov
“You’re very welcome. This little she dragon has a mate at my cabin. When and if you are ready, we can make them a couple again. I wanted you to know that I will try to give you space to get to know me.” Quinn said and kissed her head. Elmer helped Willow up off the floor, then gave a hand to Quinn. As they stood, Willow looked over the dragon.“I think that is a great idea. We should date, then find our way to being man and wife.” Willow said, walking into the living room. She placed the dragon on a shelf that hung over her desk. Quinn knew that she hadn’t put much there because that was her spell-working desk. It warmed his heart to see her putting it in a place of honor. He had to double-take when he thought the dragon moved.“You would like to go out with me?” Quinn smiled brightly at her. He had a look of shock on his face when he looked at her. Willow giggled again at the face he was making.
“Elmer, I am not stupid. I know you are fighting it even as we speak. I can ask the Goddess to help you.” Elmer growled at her and started to lose control of the beast. He howled as his body trembled.“Noooo.” He howled. The shift was uncontrollable at this time. Elmer didn’t have the power to stop shifting. He looked at Willow with pleading eyes. He tried to give her a head start. Willow didn’t run from her son. When he shifted into a large gray wolf, Willow’s heart started to race. Fear would make you stupid.“Elmer, please, control your mind and emotions,” Willow spoke softly, trying to get him to understand that he didn’t want to hurt her. Elmer moved toward her, snapping at her hand when it came too close to his muzzle.“Elmer…. You don’t want to do this,” Willow whispered again. He snapped at her again, slobber starting to fall from his jaws. Willow hit the wall and knew h
“I didn’t think anyone had put any effort into this place. I don’t really know. She says I am too young for her, but that seems kinda stupid. I am over six hundred years old. How much older does she want me to be?” He sat back in his chair again, looking at the tree, then to Nix. He could tell that she thought the whole thing was funny, but Quinn didn’t.“She pushed you away because of your age? Did you tell her you are older than you looked?” She looked around the house, taking in the tree and how the lights sparkled. Garland on the mantel and stockings hanging down waiting to be filled by Santa.“Yes, she did, and yes, I did,” Quinn told her when he sat down on the couch.The decorations in the room made him wish he had a proper family.“So you left and came here? Russell welcomed you and gave you this cabin.” Nix asked, nodding to the cabin. She watched the way he looked around, and the
“We all need to rest,” Willow told him with a smile. She slipped into the walk-in closet to pull on some clothes. Willow walked out in a long, pale blue night gown.“You’re going to bed?” Elmer asked. It was a stupid question, seeing as his mother wore a night gown.“I think I will read a little,” Willow said, holding up her Kindle. She was reading Lucee Lovett’s book. Hot and steamy, just the way she loved it. Elmer kissed his mother on the forehead.“Night Mom,” Elmer said with a smile on his face. He went into his room to sleep for the next week. It would never happen that, it never did. Elmer didn’t get to sleep that long.***********************Quinn looked around the house that Russell told him he could stay in. It was a small cabin that was homey if you asked Quinn. A large bear skin rug stretched its way across the wood floor. A fireplace took up part of one wall and heated most of the house. The door had windows on either side of it. Long curtains covered the glass to keep t
“I don’t know at this point, Willow. I know my heart says to come with you, but my mind says you have no love for me.” He moved toward the porch but didn’t move up the steps. “You seemed happy enough earlier tonight, but now you are unsure of me. I don’t understand you, Willow. Either you take me as I am, or you let me go.”“I was so happy to have you in my life, but I worry about the age difference. I am older than you know.” Willow started but stopped when he gave her a look of understanding. He did know how old she was.“You are going to play the age card? Willow, love isn’t about a number. It is about being with the person you love. If you can’t understand that, then I won’t come back.” Quinn told her. She could see that it was tearing him apart to say these things. Willow moved toward him, but Quinn moved back.“I know you say that, but do you understand that my childr
An hour later, they arrived at the restaurant. Nix greeted her father and stepmother. The young man with them, Nix, didn’t know. Conor walked with her to explain that the man was Connell. Nix looked him over, noticing that the man stood six feet six or more. Wide in the shoulders with a swimmer's build. With his clothes on, Nix couldn’t tell if he had muscles or not. The way the T-shirt hugged his chest, she would guess, he had muscles. When she took in his scent, she was shocked to find he was a werewolf.“Wolf?” Nix looked the new guy up and down to see him all over. Connell gave a stunning grin that, if she hadn’t been married, might have swept her off her feet. His deep-sea blue eyes danced with the thought he might get her naked. Nix let him believe what he wanted. Aarshon moved up behind Nix, kissing her neck.“Can you explain to me why that wolf is looking at you like he can see you nude?” Aarshon growled into his wife&r
