Vermilion Bird Vs Phoenix Novels & Stories

In his first life, Iniko lived with pain and loneliness. His unviable egg was taken to a laboratory where he was brought to life by a cruel scientist, only to be held captive and abused. When he escaped, he was alone in the world. That changed when he found Eliane. He fell in love with her and gave her his heart, only for her to be mated to his brother. Knowing he would always be a third wheel and wanting Eliane to know that he truly loved her, he gave his life to save her. That should have been the end of his story, but on the night they burned his body, Phoenix heard the heartbreaking cries of those around her. She used her powers of resurrection and pulled Iniko’s ashes into a glass egg where his body reformed and regrew. In his second life, Iniko was born as he should have been. As the son of Avani and Zephyr, Iniko was raised with love and affection. He has no memory of his horrible past. When he turns five, Iniko shifts into his human form for the first time. Immediately after shifting, he sees her, his mate, announcing their bond to everyone who came to watch his first shift. But Iniko is the only one who doesn’t remember his past. He’s the only one who doesn’t know what his life was like before, or that he gave himself to his brother’s mate when he knew she didn’t belong to him. Can Iniko and his mate get past the history he knows nothing about and forge a new life together? When Iniko learns about his first life, will he and Ancalagon remain friends? What will it mean that a second Alpha of Alphas has awakened?

She died fat, broken, and unloved, but she came back ready to burn it all down. Catherine Vale has one memory seared into her soul from her past life: the feeling of her mother-in-law's hands draining the life from her body while her new husband pretended not to hear her screams. Reborn on her wedding day, Catherine knows that marrying Anderson Vale means death. So she does the unthinkable, she runs from the altar in her wedding dress and boards the honeymoon jet alone. Her destination is Las Vegas and her plan is to get drunk and forget everything. What she gets instead is waking up married to Davis McFanger, the most powerful hybrid alive and her runaway groom's father. Davis doesn't believe in coincidences, and he's convinced Catherine is another trap sent by his manipulative ex-wife to destroy him. But the mating bond doesn't lie, and neither does the heat that forces them together night after night, even when he can barely look at her come morning. Catherine is hiding secrets even she doesn't understand. The pills she's been taking for seven years to keep her stable might be poison designed to suppress her powers. Her so-called mental illness might be a lie fed to her by the same people who killed her and the power trying to claw its way out of her skin, burning her from the inside out might be exactly what they murdered her to steal. As her phoenix abilities violently awaken, Catherine faces an impossible choice: trust the cold, ruthless man who claims her desperately in the dark but refuses to acknowledge her in the light, or face her killers alone and risk dying a third time.
