2024-10-29 19:42:56I awoke to my mother’s frantic shaking of my body. “Missy, Missy, wake up.”
It took a few moments for me to shed the sleep that had consumed me enough to realize what was happening.
“Mom?” I said with surprise as I sat up.
“Shhh, honey. We have to be as quiet as possible. They’re right outside and their hearing is acute right now.”
“What’s going on?” I whispered as softly as I could.
“Michael is outside and he’s searching for a way into the house,” she whispered with urgency as she pulled me by the arm into a sit up position. “Get up. We have to get moving before he finds a way in.”
“Godwin spelled the place. It’s like Fort Knox,” I whispered with confidence.
“Really? Then, how do you explain the fact that I’m here?”
I looked at her with surprise. “How did

“Halt! Who goes there?” called a male vampire who was holding vigil over Kenton’s home.“It’s Maryanne Cramby,” my mother called out. “I’ve got my daughter with me.”“Come ahead,” the vampire said in a gruff tone.I followed my mother as she carefully approached the house. It seemed to me that we were playing with worse fire than if we’d stayed at home and dealt with Michael. After all, the vampires were at war with the werewolves – of which my mother was now one- and they ate fairies for snacks -as I’d already experienced with Cindy.I watched as the vampire pulled out his cell phone and made a quick call. His entire demeanor shifted from gruff and threatening to pleasant and inviting once the call had ended.“I didn’t exactly know who you were,” he said, apologetically. “Go right in. They&rsqu

“Let’s get started, shall we?” Godwin said in a polite and friendly tone.A pinched faced woman who reminded me of an old schoolmarm with her hair pulled back into a tight bun stood up. “If you don’t mind, sir, we feel it would be best to keep you out of the decision making, since you are so closely involved with the defendant.”Godwin fidgeted in his chair. I could feel his muscles tightening as he did his best to maintain his composure. “Yes, well, it doesn’t please me, but, if it pleases you, I will stay as quiet as possible.

I was lying on a plush, king sized mattress in a strange room when my eyes finally opened and the world reappeared.“Where am I?” I mumbled as I rubbed the sleep from them.“You’re in one of my guest rooms,” Kenton said as he walked to the side of the bed. “How do you feel?”“Confused and pissed off,” I grumbled.“As well you should be,” Kenton said, reassuringly.“Where is everyone?” I asked.“Your mother and Godwin are conversing with the conclave. Do you want me to send for them?”I grabbed his wrist to hold him in place. “No, not yet. I want to talk to you for a minute.”He sat on the edge of the bed and brushed a stray hair from my temple. “What would you like to talk about, my love?”I repressed the fluttering response my body had when he called me his love and focused on the question

We returned to the room where the conclave was still assembled and Godwin showed me and my ring off to as many as would look.Although they all appeared to be happy, I noticed that there were two in the room with a subdued smile on their faces. One was my mother. Another was a dark haired beauty who’d been quietly sitting in the back corner of the room during the hearing. I’d noticed her because of her beauty, but, since she kept silent, I quickly lost interest. Since she stood out from the crowd because of her lack of enthusiasm over Godwin’s announcement, she, once again, had my attention.I made a mental note to find out just exactly who she was.As for my mother… She was both happy for me and concerned. She felt that we were rushing things and was vocal about that opinion. In some ways, I had to agree. With the help of the man with the kind face, she managed to get Godwin to agree to allow me
Wolf Mountain (Book 2 A Wolf Affair Trilogy) Chapter One
It had been almost a month since Cindy was turned into a vampire by Kenton. The first few weeks were relatively calm. It was probably because we were all trying to overcome the trauma we’d endured after discovering that my mother’s lifelong friend and the chief of police was, in fact, a sadistic sex pervert who was involved in human trafficking as well as providing pornographic and violent movies to the dark web.Cindy spent most of her time sleeping and acclimating to her new form of existence while Kenton and I spent a great deal of the time we had together making love in almost every location imaginable in the old estate house. With my mother off roaming the mountain in her wolf form and the house to ourselves, we experienced a newfound sense of freedom and our appetites for each other were insatiable.There was only a few more days before the moon would, once again, be full. We’d heard nothing from the Jefferson wolf

The days that followed were both interesting and uncomfortable for me. I had no idea that the moon affected vampires. Folklore never told of such things. I thought it was only the werewolves who were influenced by it. I was full of questions about what Cindy was experiencing, but got nothing but scathing looks from wicked Amelia whenever I had the audacity to ask her a question. I found myself waiting until Kenton came to ask them.I learned that the full moon enhanced everything there was about a vampire. If they were aggressive, they became more so. If they were in love, it grew more intense. Even if they weren’t in love, their sexual needs were intensified to the degree that many found it difficult to have them satiated. It wasn’t just their emotions and sexual desires that intensified. Their hearing got more acute and their speed increased; as did their strength. This fact made them better able to deal with the t

I’d ridden Roger on the trails very little since that horrific night when we were kidnapped by Hap and Cindy was raped on film before being so mutilated by a werewolf that, when Kenton and my mother came to rescue us, Kenton was forced to make a choice of letting her die or offering her a chance to become a vampire. I mainly rode in the ring and in the fields where Kenton could see me. His fear of Michael Jefferson seeking retribution for his plan to breed young girls to expand his pack being destroyed by us was acute. I knew that Kenton would be unhappy to know that we’d traveled deep into the reserve, but I couldn’t help myself. I’d been away from the reserve’s natural beauty and the feel of the woods for almost a month. I didn’t realize how much I depended on my daily rides in the woods to help keep me balanced until I’d stopped them. I hoped that the fact that Amelia was with us would buf

Kenton followed me into the house. He was silent as he’d walked with us from the reserve trail to the stable, watched us untack and brush down the horses, and then put them out to pasture. Even so, I could tell that a lecture was hovering just below the surface of his quiet demeanor and that he was itching to give it to me.The smug look on Amelia’s face as she lazily followed Cindy up the stairs to Cindy’s room made my blood boil to the point I hardly heard Kenton’s request that I join him on the patio. He had to ask me a second time before I responded by leading the way.He’d barely closed the sliding door behind him before I spoke. “If you’re going to yell at me about riding my horse in the reserve, please don’t. I’m a grown woman and have the right to ride wherever I choose. Today, I chose the reserve.”“Even if it meant danger for you?”“

We were at war. Just the thought of it was outrageous. While growing up in the Chicago area, I’d never even been in the vicinity of a gang rumble, let alone anything else. Now, after only a few months of leaving an area that ranked in the top twenty-five cities for crime in the USA and moving to what appeared to be a sleepy mountain hamlet wedged between small town USA and a city that was barely large enough to claim the title, not only was I at war, but I was at war with werewolves whose savageness was something the Chicago gangs couldn’t fathom. It was all too surreal.Godwin and I spent the day resting up for what was to come. He didn’t expect us to have to participate in the battle, but, after what happened the night before, he wasn’t going to let his guard down for one minute. Therefore, he wanted to be as ready as possible.Since the secret about my fairy skills being developed was out, he wanted m

I delivered Cindy to the house and watched Kenton take her inside before I continued on to the stable with the horses. I’d asked about Godwin and was told that he was recovering nicely from his attack and should be back to normal very soon, so I took my time tending to the horses. I needed to be alone and think. I’d killed. Taken life. Even though they were beasts who deserved to be punished, the impact of killing them was hitting home. Could I have done something different? Could I have stopped them and punished them in a different way? Was killing them really necessary?I battled within myself for the better part of an hour before Godwin appeared in the doorway of the stable.He wore a look of humility and concern as he asked, “Are you alright?”I nodded. “How about you?”“I’m getting there,” he said with a sigh. After a tortuous silen

Cindy and I huddled together, partly for warmth and partly for comfort. The nights were cooling down as fall approached us and neither of us were dressed for it. Vampires felt the cold and the heat far less than humans. Out of all of the supernatural creatures, a fairy’s constitution most resembled the constitution of a human. Therefore, I suffered the coolness of the pre-autumn night far more than my companion.“How do you think Kenton’s army is faring against the wolves?” I asked through chattering teeth.“I can’t think about it,” Cindy replied. “I want to say that they’re able to hold their own, but there were so many werewolves outside of your house. I just don’t know. I haven’t been a vampire long enough to really understand what they’re capable of. The wolves will change back when the sun comes up, but they’ll still have the power of the m

I couldn’t believe that I’d actually been able to settle down on the top of my bedcovers, after getting dressed in a comfy pair of sweats and a tee shirt, and fall back to sleep after all that had happened, but I did. I assumed it was from all of the alcohol in my system. Or, it could have been from all of the oxytocin that was released into my brain from the torrid number of orgasms that I’d experienced from sex with both Godwin and Cindy. Whatever the reason, I slept like a baby.I awoke to the sound of the fierce howling of wolves outside of the house. Cindy was nowhere to be found, so I raced onto the mezzanine and called out for someone to tell me what was happening.Cindy was wild eyed when she ran from the direction of the kitchen to the bottom of the stairs and looked up at me. “Michael is here. He’s got a small army with him. He’s demanding that they give you and me to him.”
