Iona honestly felt that she had done nothing wrong. Regardless, she did feel a tremendous amount of guilt eating away at her. Not only had she seen this man of darkness a total of three times now, she also was relieved that he had managed to not lose his life. She had no idea why he was still in the vicinity. Theirs was more or less just a meeting of the eye...
Smythe strode back and forth along the short row of villagers, eyeing them critically. They stood in a crooked line across the Chapel's training yard, spears and pikes dug up from Elaina's basement held haphazardly before them in uncertain hands. A few held lances retrieved from the bodies of Heralds that no longer required them. The steel tips of the lances...
It was just another ordinary winter night. The air was chilly, the snow was deep, and I was bundled up like a mummy. Tonight I wanted something new for dinner. Earlier I looked online and found a recipe for lasagna but I wanted to make it from scratch. Unfortunately, I was short a few ingredients and had to get more. Thankfully I lived just a short walk away...
Rori King's POVArrowhead Pack House There would not be a lot of time before law enforcement arrived. Per our plan, Chase had called 911 as soon as we saw the wolves rushing through the trees along our southern boundary. It didn't take much longer for our cameras to pick up the groups of cars and trucks filled with armed warriors heading our way. They couldn...
Chapter Thirty-nine A feeling of relief washed over me as the car carrying my husband Pete and our daughter Isobel passed through the gates and out onto the road, leaving me alone in the house. In a few hours' time she would be installed in the city flat that she would share with her University friends for the next academic year and would be out of my hair...

But liberating three cities and a good chunk of the Burning Sea from the jade-heeled boot of the Regency had dumped a great deal of it right into my...

You decide* [SIXTEEN BLOCKS OF HELL] I leapt off the ground once more to do battle. Inside me coursed the greatest energy - the greatest sensation - I ha...
The skies of Procyon II were beautiful and blue. He sat back, resting his palms behind him, looking out at the sky -- the sun overhead is so searingly bright that it makes the clouds look as if they are each glowing waves of white flame. At the back of his mind, he knows that Procyon itself, the star, is slowly transforming into a super giant. Over the n...

(note: Such scenes are happening on a mental plain of existence and represent a battle between personalities. No actual physical harm comes to any physical persons.)

Hey, guys. Back with another story. And this will be my last. If not, forever, more or less for a long while. I'm going to shift my focus from this to my life. I'm graduating soon and the past years of depression have kept me from growing myself in terms of my career. Now that I'm out of that depressed mindset, I think it's best I get to it now than lat...
