A few hours later, I pulled down the dirt road that led through the winding Evergreen trees. Beneath the canopies, a small cottage was worn down by years of abandonment. Small valleys of the shingled roof and the moss-covered stone chimney greeted me. My heart ached as I grew closer, tears filling m
That thought made my breath catch in my throat as I held back the emotions threatening to flood through me of the night she died and was taken from me.I turned towards the altar Deidra had created on the wooden porch, the crystals of old and the love of new still as it was the day I left. Ribbons
It was hard to escape my past, but I could try to make the best of a bad situation. Even if it came with the pain of my past.It didn’t matter what I did in life. I was going to have to come to terms with the fact I was going to be hunted. I wasn’t quite sure why I was being hunted, but I had a fee
“Don’t tell me that still bothers you?” He laughed, noticing my unease.Choking back my disgust, I forced a smile. “Yeah…you could have warned me.”“Where would the fun be in that?”My eyes admired the two gorgeous figures of his beta and gamma in their full naked glory. Roaming up and down their
TatumThe sun peeked over the horizon, causing birds and other critters to come to life. Shadows from the forest slowly disappeared, fading to rest beneath the canopies. I had followed Taylor from her apartment, something I wasn’t ashamed of. There was no way after all this time of searching for he
“You’re one of the—” the Alpha replied softly. My eyes met his, watching as they grew wider with realization. He recognized me. Wouldn’t have been the first time another wolf shifter did. “I am.” The blunt reply caused the men to all glance at each other. The beta and gamma backed away slowly as
“No fucking way—”“As I was saying…we need to talk,” I replied, cutting her off before she could continue.I could see in her eyes she wanted to run. But it was her rebellious nature she tried to ignore that caused her to stay. Instead of rushing her, I moved slowly towards the house. One of her h
TaylorI didn’t know what to expect when I agreed to let Tatum come inside my home. Not that I had a choice. The moment he crossed the ward with ease, I thought I was seeing things. I had watched the ward throw men who tried to cross illegally, hundreds of yards away.Tatum walked through it as if
“Thank you for taking care of him,” she muttered. Tatum rolled his eyes behind her as if unable to believe perhaps that she was saying what she was. The entire situation caused the heat of embarrassment to rush over my cheeks as I cleared my throat.“It’s no problem…but I’m pretty sure it’s he who
“Excuse me,” a soft voice said from the door catching both of our attention. “I heard that.”Cassie stood before us in a long light-blue gown encrusted with gems. Her long hair was in curls half up on her head as the white silver leafed crown sat glittering on top. She looked so far different that
TaylorWhen Tatum came crawling back into the room somewhere near dawn, I’d been wary of where he had gone. I had awoken to an empty space in the bed next to me, and no word as to where had disappeared. Though, when he had come back and told me that I was to head off to the Fae realm in the morning,
She leaned forward, a thoughtful expression adorning her features. “You know the complexities of the realms, the obligations and duties that bind us. I know you love her and you want her to stay, but things aren't that easy, Tate. We need her there. We need her to help fix things before the girls ri
TatumI hadn’t expected Brina to show up at my door looking for answers. At first I was annoyed that my sister would overstep boundaries in order to make things happen between Brina and me. Of course, I was head over heels for this girl. My heart slowly slipped into a bliss like state of happiness
I didn’t need time to think about what he asked. The answer would always be, “Yes. A thousand times, yes.”Time seemed to stand still as our hunger for each other turned into a fury of torn clothing and touches. His hands roamed my body, gripping and grabbing as I pleaded with him to please me. To
Panic filled me with his question. Yes, I had rehearsed what I was going to say, but now that the moment presented itself I was acting like a fool. My mind was completely blank when it came to the plan I was going to stick to.“Uh, well…I wasn’t sure about the customs of the Fae. I was going to ask
Standing outside Tatum’s door, my heart pounded in my chest. The hallway felt suffocating, the air heavy with anticipation. I had rehearsed the words I wanted to say a hundred times, each time hoping to find the courage to confront the man that had helped me recover who I was. A man who helped me to
Taylor Settling into the plush light-blue armchair in Cassie’s room, I took in the grand splendor of the apartment-like suite around me. The decor spoke of royalty and sophistication, with gilded accents and rich fabrics adorning every surface. The soft glow of candlelight flickered, casting an et
