Novels by Yoanna LeBrun

Amaya Walking into the castle, it looked as if it was an ancient Roman chapel. The windows had stained glass with different artworks and designs. We stopped in front of a foyer that had two sets of stairs that split into two with staggered chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The pillars that held everything up seemed to have been renovated, but they still gave off the vibe of an old castle. Lynda stopped in front of me and turned with a grin-eating smile. Lynda and Isabel didn’t give me a reason not to trust them but ever since I became part of the world someone has been trying to hurt me or kill me. “You don’t have to be afraid. The smell of fear is basically pouring out of you” Lynda said looking me up and down. I frowned my eyebrows and looked at her as if she was insane, with the question of how someone can smell an emotion. “Lynda specializes in empathy. She spent years learning to read people” Erica says walking right to me. “I don’t take offense to it, you’ve been through

Amaya I have come to peace with my emotions. The pain, the dullness, the anger. It’s still there, but I tell myself it doesn’t hurt. It wouldn’t be the biggest lie I’ve told myself. I stare at myself in the mirror, not knowing who looks back at me. I try to think back to my life before all of this, about how that was almost a year ago. I wanted so badly to return home to my parents, friends, and school, but now I want to become who I was meant to be. A knock at my door made me snap back into reality; Erica opened the door and walked to me. She wore black leggings with a hoodie; here, she had only worn things a princess would wear. The capital was in Colorado, and even though events on the other side of the barrier didn’t affect the other side, the weather was the same for both. “You ready?” she asked, squeezing my shoulder. I nodded my head and walked out of the now-empty room. I tried to leave all the clothes and other things they had given me while I was here, but everyone enco

Jasper I knew it was coming, I tried to prepare myself but in that moment nothing mattered. The pain that was on her face and the emotions that radiated off of her was enough for me to know that the pain was more than she could handle. I had to shift and move around people to try and catch up to her. I could feel both connections fighting inside of me, one longing to be with Amaya and the other wanting to stay loyal to Chloe. My heart and soul wanted Amaya but I knew I could never have her again. I ran out of the door that she ran out of, not being able to see her. I followed her scent into the woods that were behind the building, I ran trying to catch up to her. I could see her leaning against a tree, her silk dress lit up with the yard lights that were scattered around on the ground. She had her eyes closed inhaling and exhaling deeply, she opened her eyes and turned to me. “What are you doing here?” she asked out of breath. “I had to make sure you were okay,” She pushed hers

Amaya I didn’t know whether to consider the coronation as a wedding or a very overdressed prom. Erica took me outside the barrier to get a dress that the people of the town didn’t make. Due to the multiple attacks that the pack has had, we got a lot of security. It was just Erica and me, she started to ask me about my life. What was I majoring at college, what was my life like growing up, and what was my love life like? I would answer by being careful not to overshare, but I also knew she was only trying to get to know me so I didn’t hold it against her. “When we get to the castle, I just know Isabell will adore you,” She said looking down at her phone and texting someone. “Isabell. She’s the youngest princess right?” I asked. “Yes, our parents had her just five years after they had you. The wolves that are on the board wanted another werewolf, but the witches wanted another witch, and the witches got their wish.” she joked. We slowly pulled up to the first store, we stepped out

Amaya The drive back to the barrier was like a breath of fresh air. There wasn’t any chaos, no one to tell us what we were meant to be doing; just us alone. Sadly, we didn’t get to stay in the hotel as long as I had hoped, but being with Jasper was all I had wanted. When we pulled up to the barrier entrance, it seemed different than when we had come. Once we passed through I could tell something was wrong, we had gotten into the pack’s territory. The border patrol was gone, Jasper looked around to see if anyone was there. We finally got to the palace to find everyone in one of the meeting rooms with a round table in the center and couches along the side, yelling back and forth. Micheal, Jacob, Woods, Princess Erica, and Prince Brandon were all yelling around the table. “What is going on?” Jasper asked once we entered the room. Everyone turned their heads and let out a sigh of relief. “Jasper, I’m so glad you’re safe,” his oldest sister said, coming to give him a hug. Brandon and Er

Jasper Once we passed the barrier, we quickly started diving to our destination. It was as if Amaya was racing time itself, once we got out of the open road and started to encounter traffic I could feel the breath I was holding in release at every stop light and sign. “Where are we going? You need to be pushing a hundred?” I asked as we stopped at a red light. “Well, I haven’t been out of that town for months and neither have you, so we are going to the one place where we can party, drink, eat, and have fun,” she said, turning her head to me. She looked at my hair and started to laugh. “On second thought, you're not going anywhere with your hair like that,” she said as she ran her hand through my hair. It sent a warm spark that surrounded my head as I closed my eyes and leaned into her touch. She took away her hand which made me quickly open my eyes to see that the light had turned green, she continued to drive into the city. The sun had just started to set when I realized where w
