Desdayos came into view, and Raeann lost her breath at the beauty of the mountains. It was sunset as they crested the horizon, and Fire mountain held center stage in all its terrifying glory.  Smoke billowed from the very top of the mountain, as it stood, proudly bathed in orange and purple hues from the setting sun. As they drew closer, several large alcoves could be seen in the side of the mountain, where the Desdayos dragons had made their homes. In the entrance of one, midway up the mountain, a lone figure stood waiting. The play of muscles under Thorn's skin as he banked left, heading towards the alcove, had Raeann clenching uncomfortably. She was so confused. Her love for Valenar was solid, a safe and serene feeling that made her insides feel gooey and her heart race with joy every time they were in each other's company. But what she felt with Thorn? It was new and exciting. Raeann wasn't a kid anymore, and she wanted to explore her sexuality with a partner who would push

Huge black wings beat a powerful rhythm as Thorn circled Desdayos for the tenth time, 'Where the hell did she go?' He asked yet again, as all trace of Raeann's scent disappeared. He was a hunter dragon so being bested by his prey was completely unacceptable, and Thorn realized that he'd underestimated his little mate. Slowing down, he descended on the mountain top to the platform before the hot crater lake and transformed back to his human skin. The thrill of the chase had fired his blood, and Thorn grinned to himself, secretly pleased that Raeann was proving difficult to find. When he caught her-and, he will catch her, the pull to mate will threaten to overwhelm him, and Thorn could only hope she knew how to calm a horny dragon before he claimed her wherever she was found.The King of Desdayos and his mate were expecting a whelp, so as he drew closer to their cavern, Thorn tried to be as quiet as he could. He crept past the entrance on his tiptoes, aware that if anyone saw h

Something was wrong in Howling. As Jarvis pulled up to the local herbal shop, it was obvious that something significant had happened here. Many stores were closed, and the usual hustle and bustle of a small town were missing. It made the lion shifter nervous. He was still in his car, wondering at the best course of action, when a familiar figure jogged straight past him."Lucy!" Lucy turned around, and a huge smile greeted him as she jogged back. Jarvis opened the door and stepped out in time for her to pull him in for a hug. "It's so good to see you," She gushed as they pulled away from each other, and Jarvis noticed her eyes sparkled and her mouth curved easily into a grin. If he were ten years younger, Onyx might have had a fight on his hands for Lucy's affections.As he looked at his friend Jarvis, saw the dark circles under her eyes and the weight she had lost, instinctively knowing that something was really, really wrong. When he quizzed her on it, L

The ground felt strange beneath his feet. Grass tickled his toes as he wandered along, breathing deeply of the mountainous air. Beside him strode his friend; he was aware of the appreciative stares from females as they passed by and wondered if maybe it was unusual to see humans in Howling, but then again, they weren't really human-now were they?"Of all the places Hael? I'm allowed one free pass from Hell each millennium, and you bring me to Hicksville?" Pyro Diego glanced at his friend, who didn't bother to answer, and hoped for the sixth time that venturing into a wolf pack disguised as humans was a wise choice. Shaetan only knows what Marie will think when he returns home in a few weeks, and he rather liked his balls."She's here, man, I can sense her," Hael muttered as he began to look in the shop windows, and as the demi-gods came to the one on the corner, Hael stopped and took a deep breath, a guttural growl sounding deep in his chest."This is it."

Ratchet left Sal's with a full belly and a grin on his face. Maeve was like the ray of sunshine in his life that made everything okay, and whatever it was that she was dealing with, he was sure she would slay it like she did everything else in her life.Lost in his thoughts, Ian reached his bike in no time, grabbing his helmet and pulling his bandana up to keep the bugs out of his teeth. He didn't see the freight train until it hit him full force in his side. Like a spring flinging loose from a trampoline, he sailed through the air landing heavily on his side. "What the fuck?!" He roared, reaching for his handpiece. When Ratchet found who had rammed him, his mouth dropped open, and the gun fell from his boneless fingers. It was the two giants he caught sniffing around Maeve's shop earlier on. Only now, the one called Hael looked like some avenging angel. His eyes glowed with fury, and his muscles quivered with the urge to smash someone's head in. That someone being Ian.
