The Sword, the Flame, and the Bond"Where did he go?" I screamed into the wind. I felt like melted steel as my anger hit me. I held up the sword. "Lucian, come back!"Nothing.ThenA whisper."Daughter..." "You have everything but your truth."My blood turned sour. My mom came out of the smoke. Her eyes were golden and dead. Lucian's disappearance made the pit of my stomach hurt even more.The anger in my throat made me want to scream again, but Aaron needed me. His whispered name was a lifesaver.Rhea and Ramon came out of the darkness slowly. Rhea knelt down next to me with her face clean."Elara... Balance is needed for the seal. It already has one. There is a cost."What?" I could hardly breathe. "Let me give up my life." Instead, take me"She turned her head away. "No." You swore an oath, so he is bound. The only way is to kill someone who has your blood on them, someone with Flame.I felt like I was going to throw up.Mother got down on her knees in front of us. Her voice was so

I Choose Love Over PowerThe First Flame was moving away. Moving backscared. There was a stronger glow coming from behind us in the lines. The kiss, our love, and our bond seemed to seal the power. "Wait," Kael said in a confused voice. "Why is it pulling back?" My heart was beating fast as I looked at the flame-being. "You said there was blood on the ground." The magic is gone. However, love may be able to fix it. The First Flame growled. > "Then make your choice, Elara. "Seal me up now, or you could lose everything." "Why now?" Kael asked. "Why let her choose now?" I breathed, "Because it's scary." After that I got it. The First Flame didn't want to hurt anyone. A ship was what it was looking for. Someone to hold its power. That person was me. The ground gave way under me. When Kael tried to grab me, I was already going down. I felt a rush of heat going through my body. My limbs got stiff. My view got fuzzy. I heard the voice again, but this time it was inside me. >

Kiss Before the FallCollins smiled. "Oh, but now it is great." Because your business fell apart while you were busy telling everyone how you felt. "Do you mean to say that?" I growled, Dominic. Collins took out his phone and showed us a story from the news. "Dominic Hale Under Federal Investigation – Fraud, Embezzlement, and Corporate Espionage" My knees gave out. "This is not going to happen." Dominic got a stone look on his face. "You set me up." Collins took a step closer and said, "Correction." "We set you up." "We?" I repeated, shocked. Another person came into the light behind him. It was Isabel. She looked right into my eyes and said, "Surprise." My stomach turned. "Did you work with him?" Isabel just shrugged. "You weren't the only one who got sucked in." Dom rushed forward, but I stopped him. "Don't." They want that. Collins smiled. "Wise girl. That's the reason I chose her first. That was it. Isabel pulled out a gun when Dominic lunged at her. She said, "Do

48 Hours to Save the HeirI said in a whisper, "He's just a boy." "He doesn’t even know what he is." Damien laughed. "Exactly why he’s perfect. Untouched. Untrained. Full of potential." I told him, "You'll have to kill me first." Damien's smile went away. "That was always part of the plan." There was a sudden loss of light. The darkness sucked us in. The glass broke. A flash bang went off, and I screamed. Then shots were fired. "Get down!" Lucian yelled and pushed me behind a couch as confusion broke out. I could see Damien's guards falling back through the fog. He held the bottle very tightly, as if it were gold. I yelled "No!" and ran after him, but Lucian stopped me. "He’ll kill you!" "I don’t care! He has our son’s blood!" The storm outside looked just like the one inside. I was short of breath. Not able to think. There was a lot of damage. After an hour, the guards were gone and the building was empty. I sat shaking by the fire Lucian had started. He asked Elara

Crown of Shadows"I thought the worst was over... until the man who saved me whispered that he was never on my side."As I held Caden in my arms and felt my heart slam into my chest, rain splashed down from the broken roof. Lucian stood guard in front of us with his gun raised, his coat wet, and his mouth tight.The dark figure got out of the SUV and moved like smoke, which was quiet and deadly.He told Elara, "Go back," in a snap.I couldn't move, though. Not when the stranger took off his hat and showed me the face of the man who taught me. The man I used to call dad."General Kael?" My legs were shaking as I whispered.Even though he looked old, his eyes were still very powerful. "Elara, you should have stayed away."Lucian went cold. "Do you know him?"I took a deep breath. His care for me after my parents died was great. I learned everything from him.Kael smiled. "But you still couldn't see what your blood really is.""I trusted you," I told her, my voice shaking. "You kept me s
