Tyler

I had been in position since before dawn. Sherwood Forest was dense and unnaturally quiet, its ancient trees pressing close to the road on both sides. Thick roots buckled the packed earth, while tangled undergrowth swallowed anything foolish enough to venture too far from the path.

A man who knew what he was doing could stand ten feet from the road and disappear completely.

I knew what I was doing but unfortunately, my three companions knew somewhat less.

“Stop moving,” I muttered without

  • Moon kissed, Blood crowned   Ch 10- Wildcat

    TylerI had been in position since before dawn. Sherwood Forest was dense and unnaturally quiet, its ancient trees pressing close to the road on both sides. Thick roots buckled the packed earth, while tangled undergrowth swallowed anything foolish enough to venture too far from the path.A man who knew what he was doing could stand ten feet from the road and disappear completely.I knew what I was doing but unfortunately, my three companions knew somewhat less.“Stop moving,” I muttered without turning my head. Behind me, Pedro immediately went still. For about thirty seconds, he shifted his weight again and the undergrowth rustled.“Pedro.”“My foot has gone numb,” he whispered.“Then suffer quietly.”He sighed.I closed my eyes briefly. This was going to be a long morning. To my left, Cory and Bobby were mercifully silent. That could mean they were finally taking my instructions seriously. Or they had fallen asleep standing up. With those two, either was possible.They weren’t exact

  • Moon kissed, Blood crowned   Ch 9- My world was ending

    MayaMy father turned to the guards before the silence could settle into something unbearable. “She is not to leave the carriage unaccompanied,” he ordered, in the same tone he might have used to discuss livestock management. “She is not to speak to strangers on the road. You will deliver her to Lord Draken’s fortress intact and on time.”He paused, for the briefest moment, and something shifted in his voice. “She is an Alpha’s daughter and must be treated with respect.”The guards nodded, but neither of them looked at me. I almost laughed at the irony. This was the only protection my father had ever offered me on the morning he was sending me away to a vampire.I watched as Valeria stepped forward from the spot where she had been standing quietly against the wall. She had been so silent that everyone in the room had apparently forgotten she was there. Which, I suspected, was exactly what she had intended.“I’m going with her,” she announced.The effect was immediate that father had t

  • Moon kissed, Blood crowned   Ch 8- A bride being delivered

    Maya The day after the dreams was the longest day of my life. I moved through it like a ghost, drifting aimlessly from my chamber to the window and back again, watching the sun crawl across the sky with agonizing slowness. Valeria had tried to feed me, and I had tried just as hard to eat, but neither of us had succeeded.At dinner, Kai caught my eye from across the dining hall. The expression on his face was fierce, frustrated, and utterly helpless all at once. It nearly made me cry but Father was watching. So I looked away, swallowing the emotions clawing at my throat before anyone could see them.I went to bed early that night, but sleep remained a stranger. I lay awake even longer than I had the night before, turning the same frightening thoughts over and over in my mind.What if Tyler Kingston disappointed me? What if he moved on to the next job, the next tavern, the next desperate customer with a pocket full of gold?What if Theo Griffin meant nothing to him?What if I arrived a

  • Moon kissed, Blood crowned   Ch 7- The more you fight, the deeper the bond grows

    Maya “You can’t continue starving yourself,” Valeria said, for what felt like the hundredth time. She was crouched in front of me, holding a bowl of lentil porridge under my nose as though the smell alone might tempt me. “You haven’t eaten since yesterday morning, please just a few scoops.”“I am not hungry.”“You are never hungry when you are worried, and you are always nervous, so by logic you’d never eat at all.” She pushed the bowl closer, “Eat before you starve to death.” I turned my face away. The smell of the perfectly seasoned porridge somehow didn't appeal to me. Three days! Just three more days before I would be loaded off in a carriage and sent off to a vampire’s fortress like a package. I gently pushed the bowl away and Valeria gave me a sympathetic look. She took the bowl of porridge and placed it on the tray beside my bed. “Fine! Since you have decided not to eat at least drink some water,” she coaxed.I took the glass of water from her and drank some, it seemed easie

  • Moon kissed, Blood crowned   Ch 6- What exactly is your plan, Kai?

    Kai Sleep was far from my mind. I was restless, broken with thoughts of my naive little sister being sent to marry a dead blood-sucking monster Draken. It was a death sentence, no human returns from his fortress intact. I understood that pack politics tied my father’s hands but I still couldn't figure out how he could have the heart to send his only daughter to her doom. Father never loved Maya. He blamed her for mother’s death, but how could you blame a baby for being born? He ought to blame his uncontrollable self. There were only eight months between my birth and Maya’s. I didn't know all the details because father had refused to talk about it but the pack physician's explanation said that having a baby within a small time frame weakens a woman’s body. He didn't give mother enough time to recover after I was born. I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling of my chamber until the bright light of dawn made itself known. Immediately, I got up, pulled on my boots, and went to find my

  • Moon kissed, Blood crowned   Ch 5- Just bend her on her fours and mark her

    TylerI stared at the miniature boy in front of me and it took all of my willpower not to laugh. Looking at his tiny frame, I am certain he wouldn't be more than eighteen, but when I looked into his hazel eyes it was captivating as if they held the wild beauty of untouched forests and the warmth of a fading sunset, making it impossible to look away. I felt a weird feeling that I might have encountered the youngster before, but I couldn’t seem to recollect. I tried sniffing the air, but I couldn't perceive his scent. Only a mixture of soothing herbal essence mingled with the foul stench of the inn. The boy had cloaked his scent. Interesting!!!I took a mouthful of my beer and immediately regretted it. I had planned to sip it slowly, because I had no spare coins in my pocket to buy a fourth round. “I have been hired for so many dangerous assignments,” I said carefully, pushing the stein aside, “But never for that.” “Please!” The boy pleaded. “You would be saving someone whose life i
