SERIAL
What’s behind the door? That was one of the millions of questions I had in the back of my head. When I tried to escape, of course I thought about it, but I also told myself what was out there was better than what was in here. At that time, I thought my life was in danger. Now, I wasn’t too sure.
Will had led me to the door. He didn’t hesitate to reach out and turn the handle. There was no shock. He didn’t go flying backwards with burning skin. He was fine. It made me question if there were cameras or mics in the room, or if he had something on him that controlled the electricity that hummed through the bright lights and handle. I wondered if freedom awaited me. He stepped out first. I was right behind him, afraid that this was another trick and maybe I’d be left behind. I looked over his broad shoulders, trying to get a glance of the view ahead of us. I was followed by d

SHE•SHIFTER KILL FOR SURVIVAL
For someone who was ashamed of the amount of men that I had murdered, I sure didn’t look like I regretted it. I stood over Will, feeling the slow and steady pulse of his heart beat against my hand, these slightly long dark nails digging into the skin. I felt a heat coming from my body, and though I was sure this was something that I didn’t want to do, I knew that I wouldn’t hesitate. His dark eyes watched my face, and I stared back at him, hoping to see a hint of fear. There was none. The speed in which his heart was beating confirmed as well. “Aren’t you scared?” I asked, remembering the faces of those who didn’t make it out of this position alive. They never got to really feel the threat, as I usually ripped on their vocal chords and whateve
SHE•SHIFTER BAD MEN
I was disappointed in myself. How could I have spent so many days, starving, waiting for a meal like this to be placed in front of me, only to eat a third of it. My stomach had trained itself to be happy with smaller portions, shrinking in size. I was full in a matter of minutes. I ignored the hard stares that Will gave me, not bothering to keep the conversation going as I ate.“How was it?” He asked, once I set the fork down on the plain china. I gave a nod, indicating that I was satisfied. “Our kitchen serves some of the best food I’ve ever tasted.” I blinked, analyzing his words. At this point, I understood that I was under a microscope. I was being watched. Someone was trying their best to understand me as a human and as a shifter. What I didn’t know was what they were going to do with that information, and how I’d be treated after they got what they want
SHE•SHIFTER ATHENA
I felt like I was being walked to my death. I had done everything in my power to prevent this union, which undoubtedly wasn’t very much. My words fell on deaf ears, my actions viewed as acting out. I couldn’t fathom that I was nothing but a pawn to end the threats of war between the magics and the mortals. Everything happened so quickly. The whispers that Henry Zyte, the only child and son to carry the Zyte name, had fallen ill, took over The Grove. Everyone was speaking on it. At first we offered our condolences to Father and Mother Zyte, offered services for upkeep of their home, and personal care for Henry and his mother. Even offered our men to search for an Inini Man, as he was more likely to find a natural cure. They searched from sunrise to sunset, leaving their people for days at a time. When they did return, it was nothing but disappointment spewing from their lips. Father Zyte begged the coven leaders for magic healing. He fell to his knees and bowed to us all like we wer
SHE•SHIFTER MAGIC MADE
Sunlight welcomes me, streaming in from the panoramic and skylight windows, bringing brightness to a very large and open room. The ceiling is high, and tall book shelves are placed on any available wall space, every spot filled with books, small and large, looking a combination of new and old. There are gold trimmings around the windows and large dark wooden doors just opposite of the long corridor across from us. Tables with tan colored lamps made of glass are set up throughout. The tile beneath my feet matches in cream color, and seems to shine as the light reflects off of it. It was gorgeous. I was afraid to speak, just knowing my voice would carry in such an empty yet beautiful room. This was definitely different from the rooms below us. I never would have thought a room like this would be the next thing I’d be shown, or even existed. In the world I came from, this is something I’d only see on TV. “What is this….?” “What?” Will asked, flashing a smile, still holding the door o
SHE•SHIFTER LANA
I said the room was bright before, hell, this person was bright. Her eyes were big and brown and full of happiness, Her nose was small and pointed perfectly, her lips formed a triangle, and showed white straight teeth. She grinned, her smile seeming to take up more than half her face. She was thin in all the right places, had long thick light brown hair that she had pinned over her shoulder. She wore a black frilly dress and pearls.Ugh, I was disgusted.This was the person in charge?“I can’t believe it. It’s really you.” She speaks softly, but her voice has a screech that seemed to be louder than the ugly black pointed heels she wore.I blinked slowly.This is the person
SHE•SHIFTER ZYTECHIONS
Was it really a question? We were going to go no matter what my response would be. Lana latched on to Will’s arm, as we walked through the double doors she had come through. I stayed a few feet behind them, looking at their interaction.I rolled my eyes. I thought she was a germaphobe.I could tell that they were sharing whispered words. Lana even looked back over her shoulder at me, making sure I was still there I assume, or maybe making sure I didn’t hear.“Keep up,” she said.The tiled floor turned into a deep red carpet, a long hallway made of wood in front of me. There were plenty of doors off to my left and my right, all of them closed and they didn’t bother to stop and show them to me.
SHE•SHIFTER THE PROMISE OF WAR
Well, isn’t this room cozy I thought, finding a spot on a very white loveseat, patterned with little blue roses. This room was outside of the sitting room, and opened up to a screen room overlooking a courtyard. Outside was nothing but dark green grass, tall trees, and a calm blue sky, not to mention a black metal gate that seemed to surround the entire property. I can’t lie and say that I didn’t wonder how long it would take me to run across. How high would I have to jump, since it didn’t look like that fence was something that I could easily climb. Beyond the gate, there seemed to be nothing. I could try to disappear in the trees, but I was in their backyard now. Odds were I’d be lost in minutes, and they’d find me soon after. I was better off staying where I was, listening to this story and seeing where it leads. In front of me sits a low dark blue table, to match the flowers. There is a piano in the corner of the room. Light brings the room alive, pouring in from the screens tha
SHE•SHIFTER TO HAVE OR DIE
Marriage. That was not the word I was expecting to come from Will’s pink lips. Will goes and stands at the screens, looking out at the same scenery that I was, but thinking something completely different. “So, did he get to marry the woman he loved?” I asked. “The Seldom look on your face says no.” When Will looks back at me, his ivory colored skin seems to glow. “The Grove is made up of Twelve Covens; Fire, RavenTree, Trinity, NightDreamer, Wormsloe, Darseo, StarMoon, RoseWood, Silver, Mystique, Oasis and Windsor. Now Windsor is home to some of the most powerful Witches and Warlocks, all having dark magic run through their veins. They can be dangerous and unpredictable, but because they are so powerful, they are considered Royal. When Father Zyte made that first deal with a warlock, Mr. Grove, he didn’t know Mr. Grove was the leader of the Windsor Coven. Back then, they were called High Priests.” “So, what, was it like making a deal with the Devil?” “I guess it depends on who yo
