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
SHE•SHIFTER BROTHERS
Okay, I’ll admit, I was hooked. Will spoke without ever skipping a beat. He knew the perfect times to leave me in suspense. The first shifter was created, oooh. Then a pause.Now here we are, walking outside.It’s a warm day, and for the first time in a long time, I’m not hiding my face, I’m not wearing skin that wasn’t originally mine. I am me.I stood in a random patch of glass. My eyes were closed and I listened to my surroundings. First there was nothing but the sound of a soft breeze in my ears. Then, I could hear laughter. Muffled conversations. Even… cars. My eyes opened. There was a highway somewhere around here.“What are you doing?” Will asked, as if he knew I noticed something. “Do you he
SHE•SHIFTER NOT THE END
“As you can imagine, the Covens were in disbelief. When they released the prisoners ahead of The Reaping they expected there to be trouble, but nothing like mass murder.” Will and I now sat side by side on the futon. I could tell he was coming towards the end, and that this wouldn’t be a happy ending. “I don’t understand them,” I mumbled underneath my breath. Will’s hazel eyes stare at my lips, as he waits for me to finish my thought out loud. “The Zyte family had been doing this for years, and they chose then to intervene? What about the other lives lost? And not just that, but how can they act surprised that something they describe as a beast would react in such a bad way when you take away their food supply.” “Food supply?” I blinked, noticing what I had said. “Yes. I mean, they are drinking the blood of their kills. They are feeding. It’s not just for pleasure…” I trailed off realizing that this was a conversation that we had yet to have. I was just like the Zyte’s in this ma
SHE•SHIFTER YOUR HOME
I know what I am now. I have a name.I am a Shifter.I lay on my back, eyes closed as I waited for rest to find me. After I broke down into a million pieces in front of Will he suggested that a nap would do me good. I agreed, but apparently my body was against it.My mind was too busy racing, replaying every word that Will had spoken, every terrible moment that I had faced since my 18th birthday. Back then, I thought all my problems were going to end the day I was considered a woman. I saved up, hoping for a better ending, only to discover that my life was meant to be hell. There was no better for me.I rolled over onto my side, my eyes flinging open, upset with the fact that my mind was on fire with so many thoughts. The room is dark now. As I st
SHE•SHIFTER JUST A LITTLE
SINCERE POV I tucked my hands underneath my armpits, my fingertips feeling cold. I was surrounded by nothing but tall trees and darkness. Beneath my feet are forgotten leaves and branches, every step making a crunch. The paved road I had decided to follow ended abruptly, and there were just these woods. It didn’t make any sense. I could hear the humming of engines and tires hitting the gravel, but it was like no matter what direction I took, the sound was getting farther away. I was lost. I could smell rain in the air and knew a storm was coming. My first thought about leaving the compound was right. I’d get turned around out here by myself. And Will was right. I really ha
SHE•SHIFTER PROPHECY
I pull the thick pink blanket down from over my head, dreading the idea of a new day. I just wanted to stay in bed and hide away from whatever awaited me outside the door. I could hear the house buzzing, people talking amongst themselves. Everyone was awake, and it sounded as if they were waiting for me. As if she knew that I had opened my eyes, Lana came waltzing in the room, wearing yet another long frilly dress, this time a dark green.Her hair was flat and free, a change from the pinned side look she had yesterday. Her skin looks paler than before and I couldn’t help but think she needed to ease up on the makeup. What did she look like underneath all the foundation, concealer and whatever else she was wearing. I stretched, just before allowing her to grab me by my arms pulling me out of bed. I noticed the black gloves that protected her hands. She stood me up straight, showing her teeth once again. If she was upset with how I handled things y
SHE•SHIFTER LATE BREAKFAST
The first woman shifter. Man wasn’t that something… The way Will’s eyes locked in on my face when he said those words… It made me want to shudder. I was learning so much about myself, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to know anymore. We made our way back to the main wing where Lana awaited us. There were a few people roaming around, looking as if they had house chores. Some were watering the tall plants found in the corners of rooms. Others, looked to be passing by but walking so fast as if they were short on time. And though they had their own tasks, the moment we stepped in, they stopped everything to bow.Will pushed open this very large swinging door. I didn’t know it was going to come back at me, but I was quick to catch it, my palms hitting the surface. “Why do they keep doing that?” I asked, bothered by the attention I was receiving. “Doing what?” He asked me, as we made our way through a large kitchen. My eyes quickly scanned the room, taking in the rustic look, opened floor pl
