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

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.

He put his wrists out in front, and as he spoke the words engraved on them, he turned his arms around slowly. “Dum spiramus tuebimur, which in English reads: while we breath, we shall defend,”...

Oh, now look what you’ve done. You’ve gone and pissed him off,” Breccan said as he stood behind two of the gypsies, one of his large hands clamped down on each of their shoulders.

If measuring by this earthly realm’s time then it’s been years but in the unseen realm above known as Vehaven, it has been but a moment.

Thais believed that in defeat the downtrodden, courageous soul would rise with the fiercest determination for victory. That is when the true spirit of warriors shined through and soared. A new day would dawn and...

He didn’t need a curse to realize the desire of his heart was to fight the Horfins of this land, the Kravens, and the darkness that had swayed his brothers toward evil. He would continue...

She knew from her visions that she would be one of them, one of the chosen, set apart and marked for her mate. Unlike her, the other chosen women lived on earth, regenerated from the...

You do not believe in the magic and power of this book only because you cannot comprehend that it is possible. The lack of faith of your part does not make the power less capable...

There were three, very large males standing above her, staring. She started from left to right. Big green-eyed male, big green-eyed male and, hey, lookie there, another big green-eyed male. Dear gods. Did I fall...

He was determined to stick with his plan, convincing himself to stay neutral and detached. That’s the plan!Then she leaned over him.

We all have scars, Wharick. Mine happen to be on the the outside,” Kathel answered but knew what he said wasn’t entirely true. He bore scars on the inside as well.

He was the most wickedly handsome creature she had ever seen in all her days. His hair was black as night, his stature large, his muscles were etched with precision into his smooth skin, every...

Oh, sweetheart, I am the worst male your precious gods could have chosen for you.” The expression on his face turned deadly serious. He leaned his face forward and down to get eye level with...

Kathel, you have the face of a scoundrel.” Her eyes drifted slowly over his face and landed for a moment on his full lips. “With lips created for sin.””Keirah,” he whispered, gently squeezing her hands....

Ummm, anyone else getting the creeps? Breccan asked. “Okay, let’s vote. Who here is in favor of daylight? Come on, show of hands. Don’t be shy.

Thais looked up from the book. For a moment he considered telling Kathel he didn’t really see anything, but knew it would do no good to lie. “The book recognized me.” Honesty won out. “Of...

Breccan stood for a second, deep in thought of what Darius had just described. “Dude, seriously, you gotta get a hobby. Oh, and anyone else want their mothers right now? Cause, damn, that was some...

The bantering between them only caused their connection to spark that much more. Instead of forcing them to be at odds with each other, arguing did the opposite. It caused the flame to rise on...

Are you telling me, or are you asking me?” Kathel said sarcastically.”Depends on your answer,” Wharickreplied. “Yes, Gwardian. It would be my honor to be your second.” “Then I was telling you,” Wharick told him.

If he sees you unclothed, I will have to kill him,” he spoke in her ear. She didn’t know if she should believe him or not, but she took no chances. “Tell him to leave,...

Hi there. I am the Gwarda, Breccan, the good-looking, sweet one.” He winked. “The one thundering, yet, remaining aloof,” he said loudly and continued, “is Darius. He’s a savage, you know,” he said quietly, leaning...

You know you really have to beware of gypsies in these parts,” he said teasingly, dismounting from his horse…Keirah gave him a small smile that she didn’t quite feel. “Good thing I have the Gwarda...

You may run from the calling, but, you will find no real peace until you fulfill your destiny.
