So Little Sympathy

“I’m not sympathetic.” She said as acidly as usual.
“Aren’t you sweet.”
Approaching quickly, she drew near enough to see his face. Once his vibrant blue-green eyes were visible, she flicked her eyes red to better see in the dark. Letting her animal take in the sight of him. She could now see the claw marks tearing his skin from his chin up the side of his face.
He didn’t move. Unafraid of her despite her past aggressiveness.
“Are you okay?” She asked urgently. Without realizing what she was doing, she’d grabbed his square jaw and angled it down to her, so she could better inspect his injuries.
Your hands are warm.
Put them lower. It’ll make me feel better. But he was too tired to banter.
“She scratched me when she realized what I’d done to the dram.”
“Looks like she did a good job.” She turned his face to the other side to see the wounds f

The Taming Naming Him
He was intent on probing her intriguing relationship with the panther. Tempted to confess to her the beast was him. “You name the cats in the corridors.” He probed. “Don’t play me for a fool.” I’m no one’s fool. Well, I could be your fool. If you let me under that pretty skirt again. He persisted on the topic of what she’d named the panther. To see if she’ll relent, and admit it. He took every tiny victory that brought them closer together. But she dodged any effort he made in that direction. “Quandary.” She deflated. “A good name for a big, brawny, lad.” His chest puffed a bit. Triumphant that she’d trusted him enough to tell him. And also because he just plain liked the name. It sounds sleek, powerful. “Yes.” She beamed. “I thought so.” They exchanged a smile for a moment until she caught herself and her face changed to that severe expression again. Wiping th

He watched his words register on her face. Everytime she’s near, I’m in a state of arousal. How could she not know it? She had stiffened as though he’d slapped her, outright. Slumping back into her seat. Every reaction she has, is written over her face. Making her delightfully easy to read. He rather enjoyed it. “I thought you never lied?” She gathered her composure. Her hair puffed and the ashen color fell away in flakes that dissipated to the floor. Leaving the silvery white of her hair, pouring down the chair back as though someone had just released it. Her skin pinkened, and she looked far more human. “Except for when it comes to claiming I don’t find you attractive.” He acknowledged. “I always find you attractive.” “That can’t be true. One would grow bored of looking at someone.” He glanced up from the trencher. It was his turn to look as though he’d been struck. “Not hardly! I could prove to you

Elsabet stood at the window in her chamber. Sighing, she shifted away but caught rapid movement. She squinted to see it. But the night was so black not even a moon glowed. She headed for the large four-poster bed but the sound of a board creaking under a heavy step made her freeze. Her gaze flicked to the doorway. A smile brightened her face. Revealing perfect white teeth at the sight before her. “Quandary!” She slumped on the edge of the bed and held out an inviting hand. Greeting her newest, only, friend in WaterRose. Quandary rubbed the side of his large head against her palm. Rumbling softly as he sat, pressing shoulders against her thigh as he leaned into her. Caressing his slick back, made his weight against her leg increase, easing into her touch. I missed you. Bast thought. Looking at the excitement in her blue eyes upon seeing him. If only she looked at me like that as the man. He tipped his head. Looking at

The next morning, Lord Demaron had knocked on their door, and her father had eagerly answered. Neither Lord bothered to greet her as she came down the stairs at her father’s summoning. Lord Demaron barely spared her and the kitten clinging to her, a glance. A footman took her luggage and heedlessly tossed it atop the carriage. He opened the door and she climbed into the dark interior with a heavy heart. Her naïve hope Lord Demaron truly cared for her was instantly doused. Like cold water in Winter. She suffered the ride silently. Pain filling her soul. Apprehension growing through her. She’s so afraid. Quandary shifted. Bast was having a hard time, letting her suffer the pain that was swelling inside her as she thought of these memories. But he could sense there was something critical here. Something I need to know. She shot Lord Demaron furtive glances. He stared out the window as thou

WaterRose, Meadow Mountain, Grier Country RHYERS Rhyers, the Forever Knight tracker, entered the opulent foyer of WaterRose. Always mesmerized by the triple chandeliers dangling from the high ramparts. The three layers were completely encircled with glowing candles. Shining off the polished black and white marble entryway. The red carpeted dais split into dual staircases molding along the walls. Leading to the second floor and further to the third floor where the specialty solars were. Bast did a magnificent job designing it. Rhyers noted. The luxurious layers were clearly a reflection of Bast’s deep appreciation for beauty. Seeing the glowing light from the library, Rhyers sought his friend out there. Always his favorite place to haunt. Surprisingly, Rhyers didn’t find him by the fire with a glass of sherry in his hand. But he’s here. Rhyers sensed h

Rhyers smiled and nodded turning to go back to the library, but Bast caught his arm. Rhyers’ brows lifted. Bast nodded upstairs and put a finger over his lips. He dragged Rhyers into the Parlor. He doesn’t want Elsabet to know. “What’s wrong, Brother?” Rhyers noted the severity of whatever was going on. Bast never looks this tense. “Do you remember,” Bast’s voice was lowered to just above a whisper. He listened attentively to the floor above them. “when I was stabbed in Mane Country?” “Back in the early 1600’s?” “Late 1500’s actually.” Bast agreed. “When I heard that voice telling someone to protect me and a woman’s scream?” Rhyers’ brows lowered. He frowned. Bast looks almost afraid. “Yes…” “The man that stabbed me in Moira’s hut…was Lord Demaron. Moira’s lover.” “The same man?” Rhyers’ green eyes grew huge. An unlikely coincidence. We’ve l

“Deiti…” She parted her full lips in a pant. Flicking long dark lashes and purposely taking longer breaths to draw attention to her low-cut dress. “It’s not working.” Deragan said blandly. “You can’t seduce a man that has eyes for only. One. Woman.” “Ah…” She smiled softly. “But it’s not that which keeps you from my reach. It’s your deep strength of will. An immovable force.” She breathed. “So…Powerful.” Lust changed her face. Darkening her eyes and flushing her cheeks. “What are you about?” Deragan’s jaw hardened. Bast realized the lights surrounding Deragan rose in wisping strands to move into that hand gripping his wrists. Bast slammed his hand down on The Alpha’s arm to sever the touch. “She’s draining you! She’s a Gripper!” Deiti slid down the tree as The Alpha’s grip was broken but she was still cornered where she was with both men glaring vehemently at her. Deragan took a step back. “Devious little wretch.” She p

He put a hand to the back of Dorena’s shoulders as he guided her toward the library. Hearing Elsabet hissing from the next floor, he realized what an insult to her it’d be to take this stranger into her sanctuary. A place where she and I were intimate. Without looking up at the beautiful blonde hanging over the railing, he turned Dorena. Let’s take you somewhere else. She’s right to be offended by you going in there. “Where?” Dorena watched their direction change in confusion. Anywhere but there. “The Parlor.” He pointed. “Perhaps more comfortable.” He cleared his throat on the lie, as he guided Dorena in. Leading her to the settee. “Elengard!” He called. The blonde elf materialized. Hands crossed demurely before her. As always. “Yes, My Lord?” She asked. “Please help Dorena. This won’t be an easy stay for her.” It’s going to be very painfu

The Taming Infinite Tenderness
Later that night, as Elsabet slept, Sebastian found himself sitting in the library. In his luxurious red chair next to the fire. The one he so often shared with Elsabet.He tilted forward in the seat, then leaned back. Rocking his body since the chair, on its stationary legs, could not.He slowly lulled the tiny being in his arms. Bright gold curls framed her small round face. And little hands flailed sleepily. Looking for something to hold onto.When Elsabet had curled into a ball and murmured that she needed to rest, he’d taken the baby and retreated downstairs. Sensing that Elsabet was grieving the loss of her own freedom. Resenting her own surrender.And the reasons she had to do it.
The Taming Fair Beauty
Elsabet giggled, then grunted in pain. Holding her abdomen as pain knifed deep into her center.Bast tightened in fear, but before he could question her the pain seemingly subsided. She relaxed and her hands slid away.“He is right though.” Sebastian said quietly, seeing she was alright. His words caused Elsabet to glance back at him. “She is as fair a beauty, as her mother.”Confusion crossed Elsabet’s face. She looked lost, not understanding something.“What is it?”“I’ve never heard people discussing me as though it’s fact that I’m fair to look upon.”“Fair!” Sebastian said incredulously. “You’re far more than fair. As I’ve told you on many an occasion!”Does she jest?Both men looked shocked.“I thought you said that, merely for the sake of being charming.”“Does she not know?” Alazareth blurted, staring at her astounded. Eventually he gave Sebastian a horrified look. “Clearly not.” Seba
The Taming Naming Our Daughter
Sebastian looked at his twin, Alazareth, to answer his question. “Her name is Sebet. After her beautiful mother.”Sebastian’s gaze returned to Elsabet and he noted her shocked expression. Her stormy blue eyes were huge, awash with emotion.“What?” He queried.“You’d name her after me?”Of course.“I name her after my greatest treasure.” His eyes returned to his new daughter, and he missed the flicker of pain flashing over her face at being referred to as something she would’ve considered property.Alazareth noticed her agony and his gaze slid to his brother who was absorbed in murmuring to the curly haired little girl. Blissfully happy to see her. Alazareth couldn’t bear the thought of stealing his brother’s moment of joy, to point it out to him.Elsabet’s gaze fell to her hands, and her expression was anguish.Sebastian would’ve noticed instantly, any other moment. But this one, all he could see was his new daughter.
The Taming Hold Her
Sebastian gave Elsabet’s hand a quick squeeze. Leaning over her and pressing a quick kiss to her forehead.We can’t lose our daughter. He tried to push Agatha’s warning aside. But he was afraid. Very afraid.Elsabet screamed in pain.The ground under their feet quaked as she moaned in pain. Stones cracked and corners of moldings fractured and fell away. Bits of stone fell like rain from the outside of the building, past the window slits.“I’m here.” He whispered against her forehead. Leaning over her. As he did, he exuded enough magic to steady WaterRose against her unconscious swells of it.There was suddenly the vivid smell of blood and unknown fluids, an odor that terrified Sebastian in its foreignness.Agatha began shouting excitedly while Mags soothingly coached Elsabet on what to do.Then Agatha made a sudden rapid movement and swept her other hand under the coverlet draped over Elsabet’s knees.There wa
The Taming Be Ready
Once he felt the energy of the stronghold steady, he felt it was safe for him to go upstairs. He needed to stay collected. If the both of them were in chaos, the stronghold could peel itself apart.Bast hurried up the steps and turned into the flat hall. Pulling himself around the banister to rush his pace. He hurried to her chamber, only to come to an abrupt halt at the chamber just before hers.The door was open and inside was Sebastian’s twin brother.Alazareth was sitting in a chair inside the room. His back to the wall so he could hear everything within the next room. Worry was on his face, and he was massaging the back of his jaw. A motion that always indicated severe tension. Alazareth was always composed.This is bad. “What is it?” Bast’s steps slowed.“Something is wrong.” Alazareth’s jaw ticked.Oh, no… Sebastian tensed. His fists working at his sides as he waited. “What?”
The Taming Terrible Fear
Dread Hideout, Dread CountrySighing, Acharius headed back toward his caves. His huge form should’ve lumbered, but he moved far lighter than he should’ve for his size. His blonde hair hung to his shoulders, a few warrior braids near his face. A fur was slung over his back with a bow and a quiver over that.He lifted the bow over his head just as he reached his chamber but paused when Alazareth’s voice summoned him back out. “Acharius!”The viking’s head whipped in the direction of the opening. Noting it was odd for Alazar to come here.Acharius ducked slightly as he emerged from the lower mouth of the cave. His massive size blocked the darkness beyond him. “Alzareth?”His eyes moved to the identical figure next to him. “Bast?” His voice dropped in concern. “What is it?”“What is it?” Acharius asked.“We need the women.” Alazar responded.“Mags and Aggie?” Acharius looke
The Taming Surpassing Even That
“Elsabet?” Sebastian called, having just arrived back at WaterRose, he was frantic to check on her.To see if she’s alright. If our babe is.“Yes?” She called from upstairs.He followed the sound of her voice up to her chamber. Finding her still abed. “Are you well today? Is there anything you need?”“I’m exhausted.” She sighed wistfully.Drawing near, he saw that her ripe belly seemed to have grown overnight, straining her petite frame.“I feel weak. But better. The pain is less.” She swept hair from her forehead so she could better look at him. Blue eyes lovely.“Come.” She waved him over.He walked to her.She caught his larger hand in hers. Rubbing the back of it with a soft thumb pad.He turned his hand to link his long fingers through her small ones and let her pull him down next to her.She scooted over and he was swallowed by the warmth of where she’d lain. Feeling that rare heat he only pe
The Taming Mutual Understanding
Elsabet eventually fell asleep.Sebatian was wide awake behind Elsabet. Careful not to bump her wounded back. He suspected that, like him, if she were able to change shape she could go far in the way of healing.But she can’t. Her body wouldn’t let shift while there was an infant in her womb.He stroked her hair.She made small sounds of distress that told him she was either having a nightmare or suffering the throes of her fever.“It’s okay, sweetheart.”“Why weren’t you there?” She whimpered again.She doesn’t believe I was. That made him feel like he’d let her down, even though he had been there. He laid with her for a long while.When he did finally move to go and began sliding his arm from beneath her head, she abruptly caught his forearm and wrist. “Stay.”He did. Because he could deny her so very little.It was hours before he did slip away. He made it to the door that time
The Taming You Weren't There
“Sebastian. Sebastian…” Elsabet moaned. Throwing her head side to side.“I’m here.” He told her. Crouched next to the bed, holding her hand. His expression was rife with worry as he saw her suffering.She was so strong, seeing her this weak was painful. She was fighting against something she couldn’t see.For both her and my daughter. Sebastian’s throat felt raw, and his face was swollen from the emotions he had while sitting at her side.“Where are you?” She murmured, tossing her head. She was covered in sweat. The fever had taken hold and now wreaked its cruel havoc.“I can’t find you!”“I’m here, sweetheart.” He said brokenly.“Why won’t you come?” She whispered urgently.He realized she was dreaming, perhaps reliving that moment in the grove. Wherever she was, his voice wasn’t reaching he
