One can lose themselves in the twilight, when there are no colors to guide the way.

There is no fear in love

Another man’s property or not, Creed could not walk away from this and ignore it. He draped an arm around her and drew her to him so that her cheek rested against his thigh. His other hand stroked the top of her head, his fingers tangling through her soft hair. He was large in comparison...

Wishing for something doesn’t mean you should have it, and saying something doesn’t necessarily make it true.

She looked up at him with dark, tragic eyes, and again he was struck by the illusion of beauty and innocence she presented. Instinct had him wanting to reach for her, to take her in his arms and offer comfort. Then his ribs twitched with pain and he remembered she was not all that innocent,...

Fiction is just a mirror of reality for the most part. Many things that happen in fiction don’t even happen here. But as far as pain and sadness. Joy and love, life and death, it’s all real here. Here it’s real.

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

You and your sister will be going with us this day, and that is not up for discussion.” He moved closer. “Nor will it be an argument.” He stepped even closer and leaned his head slightly downward, his lips near her face. “If you have a problem with that, little girl,” he commented at her...

Thank you, I think. And what is your name?” Keirah called out a bit more loudly, as she watched Darius retreat…”His name is of no consequence.” A male’s loud, booming voice came from behind the two men who remained. The sound of his voice was gritty, husky, and the sound brought a spark to Keirah’s...

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 of many were changed. Their land, their Northbrook, they discovered, was a very magical place.

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 gypsy blood inside of him and could not stop the satisfaction he got from pissing people off.

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 last goodbyes and forces us to try and recall the most irrelevant of things like what they were clothed it...

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 a lifetime, and it would forever be engraved on her heart and etched in her soul to be remembered long...

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 was too close,” he murmured under his breath..

Me? With only one woman forever and ever, blah, blah, blah. I don’t think so, brother. I am having too much fun with all the ladies in Johobin.”-Madison Thorne Grey, Sustenance (Breccan)

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 here to protect me,” she teased back.

There is the scent too. Wonder follows it; wonder about how a boy can smell like that when he probably has no idea. He smells like the woods in the winter or the rain when it first falls, or maybe it’s just the way he always smells and there is no way to define it.

Blood answers blood, especially that given for the sake of others.

Illusions may flatter us, confuse us, or betray us, Drakkonwehr. Or they may be images we cling to when the truth is too difficult to face.

Jack Miller aimed his shotgun at the monster’s grey-skinned head and pulled the trigger. Green sludge and bits of bone and flesh splattered through the air to land on the street, the gory aftermath releasing a noxious, sulfurous odor.

Beyond the window, a breeze gently gusted―and she heard it―ever so softly, just beyond the panes. Like a forlorn lover, dark waters were wooing her, a wily whispering, gently insistent―Chrissstaaa…Chrisssstaaaaa…

As Abby finally turned and fled the frigid temperatures of the roof, she realized she still didn’t know if the Fallen were good or evil. Whether they intended to kill the humans or not.All she knew was that, at the tender age of thirteen, Abby Rhodes had just fallen head over heels in love.

He is the one pocket of warmth in a sea of ice.

It’s degrading being routinely subjected to a battery of medical tests to ensure I continue to deserve a place in this new world.

Because that means you’re thinking, and a thinking woman is usually something to fear.

Reality is a hallucination shared by most sane men.

I woke with sweat beading across my forehead and my hands balled into fists clutching the sheet over my eyes. The dreams. They were back. Haunting me relentlessly. I thought they were gone… I should’ve known better. (Rayne)

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

Ugh! She cursed her lack of attention to the [mythology] reading. Who could have known that would be the important class?

You’re my girl and I’d die before I let anything happen to you.

I haven’t known you for long, I don’t even know what your favorite color is or your favorite song, but…I know every detail and curve of your face and the way your eyes sparkle when you smile. I know that you put your hands to your chest when you laugh and the adorable way you...

Seid was the storm and the winds and the sea. I was his light beacon, keeping him away from the rocks. But he thought I had betrayed him.

The wind and the sea and the storm were his domain and I wanted nothing to do with them any longer. I just wanted Cain.

Because if being a badass was easy everyone would do itLexy of Ankh(The Dragon)”Enlightenment

There are demons within. And they’re the deadliest kind.

Reality runs the risk of spoiling things, don’t you think? The fantasy is often better. That’s where the soul is fulfilled. Reality struggles to fulfil the soul, that’s why we’re often so unhappy. But fantasy is the world of the soul…

Someday I’d like to sail far away again. Think of how much of the world we’ve left to see!” But then he cocked his head. “Would you mind?””Not as long as you took me with you.” There was that beautiful smile.”Always.

His fingers painted my skin with ruby red patterns of desire. In Keahi’s kiss I could taste the red burn of chili encrusted in the rich sweetness of melted chocolate. I breathed in his scent and it spoke to me of vanilla. The ink of my malu tattoo began to burn, searing markings of fiery...

Because if I lost her, I would be lost, too.

The Dark Ages…that’s why you’ve never heard of it before. Everything was kept in the dark…

I’m not stupid. I’m not going to run into a situation I have no business being in to show no one can boss me around. I’m not a warrior and tonight made that clear in large neon signage. But I deserve to know about events that concern me and help make the decisions on how...

Why would I bother with that? This, my dear, is about how gargoyles mate.

Make no mistake, little human. You are under my protection now, and I protect what is mine.

Like a bellowing beast, he howled her name, his raspy wails riding the gales like a ship on a roiling sea.

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

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 comes that close to my neck brother, the only debt you owe me is to make sure it connects.

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.

Without even thinking about it, she reached out for warmth, reached out for acceptance. She was hurt and as much as she tried to build up the wall of protection and never let anyone in again, Wharick had changed her building capabilities. Wharick had changed her heart.

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 matter of seconds. That was what it felt like when you loved completely yet allowed things to get in...
