Before
He slumped to the side and had to brace himself on the table. Seeing he was off balance, I set the bird on a fur rug out of the range of the dumping rain pouring in through the balcony door. I rushed over and slammed it closed. Sealing out the gusting wind. Killian was still staring at the huge red bird as if he couldn’t believe it was truly there. Like it might be a figment of his imagination. Curious beyond belief, I slipped the page from his hand and inspected it. Reading it and rereading it. Seeing he’d paled I lifted it toward him. “What’s this mean?” “Magnus and Hawk did what I freed them to do.” “What did you charge them with?” He’d freed them for a specific purpose. I suppose I should’ve known that because there was always a plot behind Warlord’s actions, but I found myself faintly disappointed because I’d rather enjoyed thinking he’d freed them from the kindness of his soul. Becaus

Eventually Willow was able to crawl from the collapsed bodies of the males surrounding her. Retreating to a far wall to sit with her head slumped against it. Her body covered in sweat and, from the way she moved, aching from head to toe. I couldn’t blame her. They’d all been at it for hours. Male after male, climbing under her, over her, stroking into her mouth. Using every crevice and mound of her body to sate their desperate need for her. I’d never seen anything like it. She’d endured it, seemingly enjoying it, until everyone of them had collapsed into a pile around her. Her arms and legs trembled from the exertion, and she was trying to say something through a raw throat. “What?” I leaned down to hear her. Catching the smell of sex all over her. “Water.” I rushed to where Warlord kept a pitcher near the window and brought it over. Helping Willow get it to her lips where she gurgled thirstily. Sloshin
Read moreRampage
“You seem to know an awful lot.” “I should.” “Why?” “Because you have my mate in that tower.” He nodded upward. “She doesn’t know I can feel her already, that I can sense her thoughts.” “So these whispers were her thoughts?” Rampage lowered his head in admonition. Warlord knew of only one she-wolf in that tower. And he wasn’t willing to share. “Does she know she’s your mate?” “Not in the least. Not yet. I plan to claim her under the Mating Moon.” “You best plan well, Boy.” “Why?” Rampage sensed the sudden challenge on Warlord’s face. “Because the she-wolf up there is mine.” “Like you I’m both wolf and mage. My intended mate is no wolf.” “You’d choose a mage?” “I want her.” “To each man, his own.” “Will you let me help you with the book then?” Rampage queried. “I’ll take you up into my tower and see what you’re capable of. But you betray me, and I’ll

There was a beat in the room that seemed to thrum faster. Making the walls themselves feel as though they were humming. I looked around fearfully, wondering if the tower would collapse in around us from the exertion of power within its depths. Tanya and Rampage’s hair blew in the wind that was conjured like the hand of a force that couldn’t be seen. Working through the book with expert precision. Stopping on a page or two as if some giant leaned over us to inspect them more thoroughly. Soon another wisping strand jutted from Rampage and aimed in our direction. Rearing up like the head of a threatening snake before shooting toward us at a ludicrous speed. I took a step away from Killian. Certain that it was coming for him. Needing his magic. I gasped when it divided at the last moment and speared into both of us. It felt like someone had plugged something into me to draw my very life force. It was hard to breathe. Feeling like minutes

It was early morning. And the day was blue and bright. With the hint of a steamy fog still lurking just above the ground. I could hear the other mages down in the Training Gardens. Tanya came over to put a hand on my shoulder. “Are you ready for today?” “Ready as I’ll ever be.” “Warlord told me how you got the book. That was really brave.” I gave her a sideways glance. “Thank you.” She had softened much just in the last few days. I suspected, though I knew she’d never admit it, that was in-part because of the presence of Rampage up here. The man who, even now, watched her like a meal he intended to consume. I glanced over and saw him leaning against the wall. One booted foot flat against the wall behind him. One arm draped leisurely across his stomach while the other thoughtfully stroked his dimpled chin beneath that fall of reddish hair surrounding his face in shadows. His gaze intense as he watched Tanya’s eve

The smoke swallowed us. Coating everything in darkness. “Touch him.” Willow whispered. Her mages moving in to surround us. Putting hands on Killian and Rampage’s shoulders and then on the mages further out, to keep us all huddled in a tight circle. At the front was Killian who waited for the rest of us to link. Then he took a long step to teach us the pace. We moved with him. Me, still pinched between the hips of he and Rampage who were leading the path. A knight stepped through the bleak haze, and saw Rampage. Lunging forward to pierce at him with the tip of his sword. Rampage ducked beneath it and batted the flat side upward and then aside so he could catch the man by the throat. “Should have ran away.” He growled before twisting his wrist and snapping the man’s neck in a gesture which seemed terrifyingly easy. Then he let the man fall limply to the ground. Kicking him to send him sliding across the ma

Two Days Earlier Magus knew it was late but he needed to break away from Vanna Rae and her vicious mates. And Hawk was acting particularly strange tonight. Up to something. Magus knew. But at this point he knew he’d simply have to follow along with whatever foolhardy plan the mage Commander had concocted. Magus was using a bit of crow’s blood and a feather the sentinel had offered him to scribble one line on a bit of parchment before rolling it up. He tucked it into the scaled foot of the large red bird. He leaned close to murmur to it. It bobbed it’s head in understanding. Before taking off. Huge red wings swooping as they carried it high into the sky. It took several hours for the bird to cross over the tree-tops in the dead of night. Escaping the hungry talons of several night birds to wind toward the twisted tower atop a dead mountain. Finally reaching it, it had to evade the raging wall of flames surround

“We have to stop soon.” Killian said in a terse voice.“What’s wrong?” I peered at him.“We need a shelter.”“There’s one over the hill.” Aviari remarked. “Just a bit further. I had the fey build it for you.”“Why?”“The Mating Moon.” Aviari remarked off-handedly. As if it were the most natural thing in the world. “Will you be joining him?”I blinked at him in shock.“Yes.” Killian croaked. Putting a hand to his stomach as if he were in tremendous pain.“Are you okay?” He gave me a quick look. Catching my hand he walked us faster through the trees.The moon was fat and round with a pink hue. Peering down at us mockingly. Looking utterly peaceful, despite that it was driving Killian mad.We reached the hut and Aviari directed the mages to surround it and sleep for the night.Kil

I touched him. I bit my lip. “I-I-I couldn’t…I couldn’t help it, Killian. It was too much.”I couldn’t contain myself. I needed something to hold onto!I mourned the loss of that pressure in my body. Feeling hollow and aching with the need to have him inside me.He stood. Taking two long steps behind me. He caught my shoulder from behind and pushed me forward so my palms slapped the bare wood to catch me.I was braced on all fours. Like an animal.It was both vulnerable and exciting. Making me shiver slightly.“Are you there, she-wolf?” He murmured. As if speaking to something far more primal than me.And he got an answer.My back jerked and rippled up in answer. My head snapping up, so I stared levelly ahead. Eyes flaring with a yellow sheen.“Yes, you are…” He said appreciatively. “I’m going to fuck you, little she-wolf. My be

Do I want him?Bad enough to stay with the male that killed my family? I had much to think on.I was free now.And he’s saying he’ll let me go.There was such tension in him as we lie there. I could feel his body nearly quaking in apprehension as he awaited a response.I tried to remove every other point from my mind. How cruel he’d been on occasion. That he killed my family and took me captive. I needed to take out all the things that had bloomed because we were captives and focus on the man.Do I want Killian Gallion?Do I care for the man I’ve gotten to know?I considered it a long moment. Taking my time as I thought about it.“Do you want to go, Jade?” He prompted softly. “It might be safer for you far away from me.”“Why do you say that?” I asked in surprise. Thinking that I had to be safer next to him the
