What do you think of Grace's abilities?
Hello everyone. First, thank you for your support in my initial foray into writing. Your support has been amazing and has definitley encouraged me to continue writing. As you know, my book For the Love of a Guardian is out now. This is Clint and Lily's story which, as you may have guessed, will span to the end of this book. It will primarily focus on their life together and Clint's life without Lily, but it will follow until the end of this book. This book will move into the primary spot and will begin having daily updates this week. Also, I have started another series, The Elemental Dragons, and Book 1, The Arena went live today. This will be a completely different series from the Guardians but I hope you'll give it a try and as always leave me a comment and let me know what you think. That book will become my #2, updating Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays until Love of a Guardian is complete. Many of you have asked if I will continue the Guardian series. I hadn't planned on having
Nine years later Itās a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the weather in early fall is cooling down and the kids are all happy, healthy and currently running around like crazy people. Cara, Angel and I all had our kids around the same time, so our total of 13 kids are being raised together. Most of them have paired off by age, except poor Richie, whoops, he goes by āRichā now that heās a mature 10-year-old. Heās sort of the odd man out, being the oldest male followed by two females who are best friends. It helped that Liam and Angel kept having babies, so when Cara and I had space in between our three each, their kids filled in the age gaps. Of course, that doesnāt count for Reagan. Thatās who Angel calls her āoopsie babyā. Oopsie my Alpha ass. That girl wanted another baby, and she made sure Liam gave it to her. After her difficulty with the twinsā delivery, Iām not surprised. She almost died giving birth and it terrified Liam, so he said no more. Three years later, Angel wins by g
One year later Life is amazing! After the hunter war, after everything settled down with the missing humans and after my mate woke up, things finally began to fall into place. The birth of my son, Emerson, was the most amazing moment of my life. Well, that is until today. Today, I am holding my baby girl for the first time. Emlyn Grace. Sheās beautiful, perfect, just like her mother. And while I love my son more than I could ever put into words, there is something different about holding my daughter. A fierce protectiveness flows through me. Itās a feeling Iāve had with Emerson, but itās different, more intense. There is something special about the father/daughter bond and I vow that no one will ever hurt my little girl. I lay her in my mateās arms, watching as now the two most precious women in my life curl up and fall asleep together. I gently kiss them both on the tops of their heads before leaving them to rest. I head back to the packhouse, picking up Emerson from Carlos and Am
Chaos. Thatās all I can feel. Utter chaos. There are sounds and voices all around me. I canāt make out what they are saying, there are so many of them and they are talking over each other. I try to tell them I canāt understand them, but my voice is drowned out by theirs. I try to find Maia in my mind, but if she is there, I canāt hear her voice over the cacophony in my head. Itās overwhelming and it never stops. I bend down, covering my ears with my hands, trying to lessen the sounds, but it doesnāt help. Initially, I felt like I was going to go crazy. But eventually, the noise becomes almost background noise in my head, making it easier for me to think. I remember what happened, how I tapped into nearly 1000 wolves that were still alive and pulled their energy and strength into my aura before pushing it out to kill the hunters and save our packs. And thatās when I realize what the noise is. I connected to every pack member from three packs, and now I donāt know how to disconnect mys
I gasp, and air fills my starving lungs. Iām alive. How am I alive? āLouis?ā He doesnāt respond. My body feels heavy, and I try to remember the last thing that happened. I was on the battlefield. I was looking at Grace, telling her I loved her, before the silver from the last bullet got to my heart. Wait? Am I dead? I donāt hear any sounds of fighting. I hear moaning all around me, but nothing that sounds like death and dying. āI love you too, Eli.ā I hear Grace say. Her voice is soft, exhausted, like sheās burned herself out. āGrace!ā I yell in my mind. But as I reach out, I feel her consciousness going dark. I push myself up. āGrace!ā I call out, looking around for my mate. I see her, slumped on the ground. Angel and Cara have just turned to her. They are calling her name, shaking her shoulders. āGrace!ā I hear them yelling at her. I try to stand, but I canāt, so I begin to crawl over to where Grace is lying on the ground. āWhat happened?ā I ask when I get there. I see Rik
Iām glad when Eli says heās heading to the battle and for me to join him after getting the evacuations set. I canāt shift being pregnant. Iāll have to run in human form to get to the battlefield. Eli would know something was wrong if he saw me. It takes me longer to get to the battle than it would if Maia was running. Weāre much faster on four paws than two feet. As we get closer to the battle, I smell them. Iām counting them in my head when Eli reaches out to me. I open the mind link and let them know Iām nearly there, and how many hunters there are. When they decide to spread out, I know I wonāt be fighting beside Eli. I have to be with my sisters. Thatās the only way I can make sure we win today. Before I arrive, I hear Kaiās howl for the battle to begin and immediately all hell breaks loose. Almost instantly, I feel tethers from our pack breaking. āMaia, we have to hurry. We canāt lose our pack.ā Maiaās pain at the loss of our pack members is as strong as mine, especially sinc
The hunters are coming. We know it, they arenāt even being secretive about it. Every day I become more fearful of losing Grace. I know she thinks sheās the key to us winning this battle, but I canāt lose her. I wonāt. When I get the mind link that the hunters are nearly here, weāre ready. Weāve been planning this for weeks. I would never tell Grace this, but Iām glad sheās not pregnant yet. I donāt know if I could focus on the fight today if I knew I was not only fighting for my pack and my mate, but also my unborn child. My fear of losing Grace has made my protectiveness almost unbearable as it is. I know it irritates her that I need to know where she is at all times, so I canāt imagine how much worse it would be if she had gotten pregnant. The hunters have chosen to attack us near our three borders, so we have an hourās run to get to them. The sprites had alerted our patrols and they are the ones that sent the mind link. Weāve chosen to stay quiet so the hunters donāt know weāve se
Eli became more insistent that he know where I was at all times after that. When we are together, he is affectionate and loving. We have always been physical in our relationship, but it was different now. It was as if he were desperate to let me know how much he needs me and loves me. Heās terrified that heās going to lose me. I understand why heās feeling that way. Iām the key, the central point in the power source of the Guardians. Cara and Angel can pull from me, but without the strength of my mind link, they canāt go further than that. I can tap into the power of not only my sisters and their mates, but also every member of all three of our packs. I havenāt been vocal about that. I donāt want to scare anyone, but when I connect with them, itās almost like candles getting lit in my mind. As each person in their pack connects to the link, the candles light and I can see them in my mind. Itās strange and itās overwhelming. It also means that I can hear them. Between the three packs w
Itās been a couple of months since Benny joined our pack. It's is really coming along now. Most of our pack members have homes that are either complete or in the final stages of completion. Main street stores are complete, and weāve started building another set of stores in the expansion portion of the pack, making it easier for those members that chose to live farther away from the packhouse to get supplies when needed. Grace and I started having monthly pack meetings, keeping everyone up to date, providing any announcements and using that time to add new members to the pack, whether they are wolves coming of age, or people who have come to our pack looking for a safe place to live. Ailduin comes for training every two weeks. He brings Anastasia so she can see her father. Alpha Christopher spoke to his Beta when he returned with Fanella. He set up an Alpha challenge and his Betaās son won, as expected. He took a month to help transition the duties to the new Alpha and then he and Fa
