I don’t need to come closer to kill you, but I will come closer to watch you bleed. (Darius)

I may have been born into this world to be the Gwardian, but I was created for you, for us. You are the reason I exist, the reason I breathe. You are the light to...

Oh, don’t look at this frail, old druid like that, Solomon. I may be slow in my movements, buy my mind is sharp as a dagger’s tip.” Lazerin smirked.

Beauty is something most beings, human or otherwise, gauge by the outward appearance. However once you see inside of one’s heart, the true beauty of a person comes through and many times changes the initial...

There are so many reasons why I should not kiss you right now. Believe me when I tell you that only moments ago those reasons played out in my mind, but for the life of...

It’s not the having of the gift that makes the difference in life here or in another place. It’s how we use that gift that shows the true heart. ~ Acronis

Your reaction makes me deliciously curious. Will you be kept awake tonight wondering if I knew it was you? Imagining yourself under me?”-Madison Thorne Grey, Sustenance

You don’t have a mommy,” Gunnar proclaimed as he walked around Breccan. “Ok, I want my surrogate,” Breccan said as he sped up to catch the other men. Darius came forward to walk in step...

So, Gwardian, are you going to stand there, or may I have some privacy so I can bathe? We aren’t all as full of ourselves as you are.

Even among the ugliness of evil that resonated throughout the green hills and flowering landscape, Northbrook was simply breathtaking to those who took the time to appreciate it.

I do not belong to anyone! Certainly not to a self-centered, brute of man, err…being or whatever it is you are, person!” she fumbled.

They’d seen her laugh before he did, had seen her live before he had. The thought of it provoked envy inside of Wharick, and that emotion at times, could be just as powerful as jealousy.”-Madison...

Isn’t he beautiful? His silky hair, his muscles so strong and powerful yet amazingly, he trembles slightly at my touch, and the more I stroke him, the more he leans into my hand,” Keirah said...

We are immortal beings, Thristan. You cannot hate me throughout all eternity.

The tale of love and power was a continuum, much like the white carousel just outside of Acronis’s hall. It turned around and around. Acronis was tired of the spin.”-Madison Thorne Grey, Sustenance

Dammnnn,” Breccan slowly spoke each letter with a grin on his face that spread from ear to ear. “Impressive flames, guy.

It was the simplest of acts, the smallest of gestures, yet no one had taken the time to do something kind for her in a very long time. No one had made her feel special....

We are bastards of the gods, Sorvus, you and I. I once shared the dream you seem to think you are now living. The dream of living here, in Northbrook, the birthplace of our mothers.”...

I’ll thank you now, Kathel,” Keirah whispered. Placing a simple, soft kiss on Kathel’s lips, she turned and walked away toward her cabin, leaving both men stunned in her wake.

Truth was she liked that he came after her. She liked the thought of being under submission to him in an intimate way. It was a welcome desire which Wharick alone sparked.

Kathel grabbed Mahgen so fast it shocked her, causing her to let out a sharp gasp. With his hands on her shoulders, he shook her lightly as he spoke. “I love you, Mahgen. Do you...

His shoulder-length hair was a rich, dark-brown color with a slight wave to it and it flowed behind him as he ran into the center of the gypsies. He was tall, muscular, and so beautifully...

We don’t recognize those times in our existence, when fate rolls around to sever relationships, to remove an object of such immense magnitude from our lives. No, on a whim it robs us of our...

The first thing that went through Mahgen’s mind was how cold she’d become with the loss of Kathel, how insane it was that things could go from tender and warm, to cold and indifferent, in...

The fact that he got to save the Gwardian’s mate and managed to piss him off at the same time, well that was just a bonus and pure luck of circumstance. After all, he had...

Such anger. Do you want to talk about it?” Vincent called out. When there was no reply, Vincent picked up the whistling where he’d left off, smiling at the success of wreaking havoc on Darius....

Make it stop,” Vincent murmured, coming out of sleep and pulling the blanket over his head. “I think your mutt is howling for you.

Surrounding the two of them was the love they shared but also an overwhelming feeling of fear–fear of a future filled with the emptiness which would consume them if they remained apart. A fear of...

The new race of warriors would be their hope, their salvation, their loves’ destiny. But they too could be tainted. They too could be seduced by the black forces they had been created to fight...

Their bodies continued to move together as one, making rhythmic love to each other slowly and thoroughly. And with each thrust, each deliberate movement, the air around them grew thicker, the bind connecting them grew...

Darius began to walk away, but as if he thought better of it, turned back to face Wharick. He stared into the Gwardian’s eyes for a moment and then spoke quietly. “If ever a blade...

Sorvus’s eyes widened then fell as she accepted whatever fate had in store for her. “It will be as it will, Thristan.” Thristan looked at her intently, bringing his head back with a frustrated sigh....

He quickly left the room, and when he shut the door behind him he leaned his back against it, tilted his head back, and put his palms to his eyes before bowing his head. “….That...

Kathel smoothed out his shirt in an exaggerated manner. “It was the least I could do. I owed her one,” he said referring to when Keirah saved Willow. He looked at Keirah and winked. Yeah,...

You have family, only a brother you clearly don’t like to speak about. Fine. That’s all right.” She ran her fingers through her hair. “But don’t ever say dreams are a waste. It’s a miracle...

Yes, I can see why so many are taken with you. You’re so, so, so..” Vincent’s words trailed off. He gazed off into the trees. “What’s the word I’m looking for?””Adorably handsome?” Breccan offered with...

Kathel did not back down at all. “Well, Keirah told me she was suddenly unattached, if you know what I mean. And I figured, what the hell, why not have a go at her myself,”...

Love knew no bounds, knew no limitations. It looked beyond the unseen realm and reached in for a taste, for a moment of regenerated happiness, and in that moment fate was altered and the destinies...

Never try to stop me again,” he told her. It was a sensuous command of a lover and brought a chill of excitement in Mahgen’s spirit, spreading throughout every inch of her body.”No, Kathel,” she...

Bitterness filled his heart, and he learned to love the feel of its magic.(Darius)

Thristan looked at her with a bewildered look on his face. “You think to bind me as the new race will be bound?” he asked solemnly. Sorvus smiled. “I do not think to bind you,...

She knew without a doubt what he had said was true. They were created for each other. Destined for this time of reconciliation. For Keirah, it was a moment, no, it was the moment of...

I’m pleased to know you realize she is mine, gypsy. Care to explain why it is that I find you here in the Gwarda arena and touching what belongs to me?

Vincent made his way closer to the group and shuffled his feet while he watched them embrace. Breccan’s head remained buried in the huddle while his large hand reached out, grabbed Vincent’s good wing, and...

Wharick is the king. I know you already knew that. And by the way, Exian’s head in a bag? Gross gift for a king, just sayin’. (Breccan)

A slow, knowing smile came over Keirah’s face. Her heart filled with happiness, believing the Gwarda gypsy sitting next to her at this very moment was worthy of her beloved sister.

Love knew no bounds, know no limitations. It looked beyond the unseen realm and reached in for a taste, for a moment of regenerated happiness, and in that moment fate was altered and the destinies...

So tell me, Thais, you say all things happen for a reason. What if I never found you wandering in the forest that day?” he asked. Thais didn’t miss a beat. “Was I wandering?” he...

Their eyes drifted directly behind her. At the same time she felt the presence of a rather large, imposing figure, then the sudden heat permeated the air around her. He’s behind me, isn’t he?

She looked up into Wharick’s ethereal face, her eyes drifting across his features. Close your mouth, Keirah. Her brain finally caught up with her face’s reaction.
