Baritone Vocal Range

What happens when people start going missing from a range of small towns in the middle of nowhere? The local police department have absolutely no idea what to think or how to investigate the disappearances or what to do with the body count piling higher and higher. Once again Mary wakes up outside the little wooden cottage naked and covered in blood. This always happens when something happens that ticks her off. Mostly it's her father not letting her do anything or never letting her leave the house. Constantly moving around also kind of defeats the purpose of going out and making friends if you are just going to be leaving the town in the next couple of months. Is Ryder really Mary's father and if he is where is her mother and why does he never talk about her? Should Ryder have told Mary that she is the Werewolf Princess? Should he have told her while she was growing up like he had planned before the accident or should he let her believe that she is a normal human being to help keep her safe and calm? Will they be able to help keep Dora and Mary alive when the time comes for Dora's forced marriage into slavery to cover her father's gambling debt with the goblins. Will Dora see her mate and have the curse removed? Why is Hera on the killing spree and what triggered it in the first place? Could it be Mary, her human who is afraid of what she is and what she smelt after her blood session as Mary had started calling her blackouts. Follow along and find out the secrets of the forest and what it hides in plain sight from unsuspecting humans and supernaturals alike.

Bata pa lamang si Sam ay bukambibig na niya na si Vaughn ang lalaking kanyang magiging asawa — na kaibigan ng nakakatanda niyang kapatid. Kahit malaki ang agwat ng kanilang edad at nakakabatang kapatid lamang ang turing nito sa kanya. Love pa nga kung tawagin niya ang kaibigan ng kanyang kuya. At very vocal siya sa pagsasabing ang binata ang nais niyang maging kabiyak kapag dumating siya sa tamang edad. Hindi naman nito siniseryoso iyon dahil buong akala nito ay dahil sa kabataan lamang niya kaya nasasabi niya ang mga bagay na iyon. Samantalang ang binata ay may Fiancee sa katauhan ni Yvonne — childhood sweetheart ng binata. Nang malaman iyon ni Sam ay labis nitong ininda ang balitang iyon — hindi kumain ng ilang araw, tumangis nang tumangis sa kanyang silid, napabayaan ang pag-aaral at naging sakitin. Hanggang sa isang araw ay makabuo siya ng plano — ang pikutin si Vaughn. Nagtagumpay naman siya dahil nahuli sila mismo ng kaniyang ama sa maselang tagpo. Kaya hindi ito pumayag na panagutan ang namagitan sa kanilang dalawa. Naikasal naman agad sila at walang pagsidlan ang kasiyahan sa puso ni Sam dahil natupad na nga naman ang pangarap niya ng bata pa — ang maging asawa si Vaughn. Subalit, tila naman ito yelo sa lamig nang pakikitungo sa kanya at kung pagsalitaan siya ng masasakit ay para bang hindi nito kaibigan ang kuya niya. Ang mas malala pa ay kapag nagniniig sila ay pangalan ng nobya nito ang laging sinasambit. Hihiwalayan na ba niya si Vaughn na oo nga at naging asawa niya pero hindi naman niya maangkin ang puso nito? O ipaglalaban pa ang pag-ibig niya kahit laging pinapamukha nitong pinikot niya lamang ang asawa? At ni katiting ay wala itong pagmamahal sa kanya?

The things we want are so very rarely the things we need. Clifton Heights, a modest Adirondack town, offers many unique attractions. Arcane Delights sells both paperbacks and hard-to-find limited editions. The Skylark Diner serves the best home-cooked meals around, with friendly service and a smile. Every August, Mr. Jingo’s County Fair visits, to the delight of children and adults. In essence, Clifton Heights is the quintessential small American town. Everyone knows everyone else, and everyone is treated like family. It is quiet, simple, and peaceful. But shadows linger here. Flitting in dark corners, from the corner of the eye. If you walk down Main Street after dark, the slight scrape of shoes on asphalt whispers you're not alone, but when you look over your shoulder, no one is there. The moon shines high and bright in the night sky, but instead of throwing light, it only seems to make the shadows lengthen. Children disappear. Teens run away. Hunters get lost in the woods with frightening regularity. Husbands go mad, and wives vanish in the dead of night. And still, when the sun rises in the morning, you are greeted by townspeople with warm waves and friendly smiles, and the shivers pass as everything seems fresh and new... Until night falls once more. Handy's Pawn and Thrift sits several blocks down from Arcane Delights. Like any thrift store, its wares range from the mundane to the bizarre. By daylight, it seems just another slice of small town Americana. But in its window hangs a sign which reads: We Have Things You Need. And when a lonely traveling salesman comes looking for something he desperately wants, after normal visiting hours, after night has fallen, he will face a harsh truth among the shelves of Handy’s Pawn and Thrift: the things we want are rarely the things we need. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

I took a deep breath again and again as I finally knocked twice. And after a couple of minutes a baritone yet cold voice spoke. "Come in." My brows furrowed and my chest was pounding so loud when I heard Sir JR's voice. This is the first time he showed himself to us but... this was not the first time I met him. At sana wala rin siyang maalala pa. Pinilig ko ang ulo at pilit tinatanggal ang mga nasa isipan at dahan-dahang pinihit pabukas ang pinto. Biglang nanindig ang balahibo ko dahil sa lamig sa loob ng opisina ni Sir. "Hmm..." tumikhim ako upang agawin ang atensyon niya na nakatalikod mula sa akin at prenteng nakaupo sa swivel chair niya. "Good afternoon, Sir." I greeted politely. He stayed silently, he stayed in his place and he didn't respond to me. Hindi rin siya lumilingon kaya napakamot ako ng ulo. "Sir? What can I do for you? Is it because I'm late this morning? I'm sorry Sir, there's an emergency in our home, the reason why I'm late. I'm sorry." I explained but he remained silent. Dahan-dahan akong napayuko. Mukha ngang bad mood siya dahil hindi man lang lumilingon sa akin. "How old are you?" Wala pa sa isang segundo akong nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya. "Hmmm, 24, Sir..." I answered lowly. "Married?" I swallowed as I responded. "No." "Single?" he asked again. "Opo." "Any relationship? Boyfriend? Ka live in?" "Wala po, Sir..." Pilit kong sinasagot ang mga tanong niya kahit alam kong confidential na iyon. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit iyon ang naging binungad niya sa akin na hindi ko inaasahan. Nabalot kami ng katahimikan hanggang sa muli siyang magtanong na ikinamilog ng mga mata ko. "Virgin or not?" My mouth opened a bit 'coz of his inappropriate question.

Naya n’avait rien demandé. Une vie tranquille, des routines simples, un cœur qu’elle essayait de garder fermé pour éviter les dégâts. Jusqu’au jour où Matek entre dans sa vie… avec son regard qui accroche, son charme qui dérange, et cette manière beaucoup trop dangereuse de la comprendre sans qu’elle parle. Entre eux, l’électricité est immédiate. Un magnétisme presque insolent. Le problème ? Matek n’est pas un homme “simple”. Il traîne derrière lui Lila, son ex, une femme accrochée au passé comme si leur histoire était encore vivante. Elle refuse d’accepter qu’il ne lui appartient plus… et surtout, elle refuse de voir qu’il commence peu à peu à se tourner vers Naya. Naya, elle, avance avec prudence. Elle sent que Matek est un homme qui brûle tout ce qu’il touche, pas par méchanceté, mais parce qu’il aime fort, intensément, dangereusement. Et elle, malgré toutes ses barrières, sent son cœur trembler à chaque fois qu’il s’approche. Mais il y a aussi ces zones d’ombre autour de Matek, ces secrets qu’il garde, ces blessures qu’il cache. Leur lien évolue dans un équilibre fragile entre passion naissante, tensions explosives et sentiments qu’ils n’assument pas encore. À mesure que Lila se mêle de leur histoire, que les émotions deviennent incontrôlables, et que les vérités s’approchent trop près, Naya et Matek se retrouvent face au choix le plus difficile : se rapprocher malgré les risques… ou fuir une attraction qui pourrait tout renverser. Entre douceur, intensité, jalousie, désir et danger émotionnel, leur histoire s’écrit comme une tempête impossible à arrêter.

Pendant trois ans, j’ai attendu de devenir la Luna parfaite pour ma meute et de donner un héritier à l’Alpha. Trois ans de mensonges m’ont transformée en une intruse dans l’amour de quelqu’un d’autre. Trois ans pour souffrir de la mort de mon bébé et chercher vengeance contre l’homme qui a défiguré mon visage et détruit mon utérus. Être capturée par ma propre meute et mourir, ou m’échapper et survivre : c’étaient mes deux seules options. J’ai choisi de me cacher et de vivre. Le Roi Lycan, Alain Turpin était le souverain le plus sanguinaire et impitoyable qui dirigeait les loups-garous d’une main de fer. Je suis devenue sa domestique personnelle, la position la plus dangereuse, où je pouvais perdre la vie à tout moment pour la moindre erreur. Mais personne de mon passé ne me chercherait jamais ici. « Toujours soumise. Ne parle pas, n’écoute pas, ne vois rien, ne dérange pas le Lycan, ou tu mourras. » Des règles simples à suivre. Je pensais bien m’en sortir jusqu’au jour où le Roi m’a fait une offre que je ne pouvais pas refuser. « Tu veux que je sauve ces gens ? Alors rends-toi à moi ce soir. Sois la mienne. Je te désire, et je sais que tu ressens la même chose. Juste une fois, Valérie... Une seule fois. » Mais ce n’était pas qu’une fois. Et la passion s’est transformée en amour. Cet homme froid et indomptable a aussi conquis mon cœur. Cependant, quand le passé revient me hanter et que la vérité sur ma naissance est révélée, je dois faire un choix une fois de plus : fuir le Roi Lycan ou attendre sa clémence. « Je suis désolée, mais cette fois, je ne perdrai pas mes petits à nouveau. Pas même pour toi, Alain. » Je m’appelle Valérie Von Calvet, et ceci est mon histoire d’amour compliquée avec le Roi Lycan.

Ma sœur Aurora et moi sommes liées aux jumeaux Alpha. À mes cinq mois de grossesse, je suis attaquée par un groupe de renégats. Je contacte mon compagnon Alpha Alexander par lien mental pour avoir son aide. Mais il m'ignore neuf fois. Les renégats m'entourent et me mordent aux bras et aux jambes. Mon sang gicle à chacune de leurs attaques. La douleur transperce mon corps. Je réussis à lier mon compagnon pour la dixième fois, en pleurant de manière désespérée. Cette fois, sa voix froide résonne dans ma tête : « Tu n'as pas marre de faire de la comédie ? Ma sœur Vicky a été enlevée, alors ne m'embête plus. » Vicky est la demi-sœur d'Alexander et Éthan, elle est celle qu'ils aiment réellement. Maintenant que plus rien ne les freinent, les renégats se jettent sur moi. L'un d'entre eux ouvre mon estomac avec ses griffes, pour que je les regarde déchiqueter mon enfant pas encore né avec horreur. Quand je suis presque morte, Aurora me trouve et se bat contre les renégats. Mais ils sont trop nombreux. En peu de temps, Aurora se retrouve ensanglantée et blessée à côté de moi. Elle lie son compagnon Éthan par lien mental, mais ce qu'elle reçoit comme réponse est : « Je cherche Vicky. Ne me dérange pas. » Aurora n'a pas d'autre choix que de se transformer pour me prendre sur le dos de sa louve. Elle descend rapidement de la montagne, mais un glissement de terrain provoqué par le temps orageux nous piège. Heureusement, la patrouille des frontière nous trouve. Aurora et moi réussissons à survivre. Quand je me réveille à la clinique de la meute, la première idée qui me traverse l'esprit est simple : mettre fin à mon lien de compagnons.
