Shifting everyone aside, Caitlyn made room for her friend. The dinner went on as everyone engaged in chit-chat. Gao was silent, mostly listening. Andrew's eyes never left the small woman sitting at the table. He noticed that she did not eat. She pushed food around her plate. His wolf was concerned, but he'd tread carefully. He needed to know what he was faci...
The bed beneath me bounced and I my eyes shot open. The sun was already shining light across the room. Master Evan lay down and stared at me. "Humans would make a terrible Warriors, Ciara," he said. "You sleep much too deeply. Really, it's not a wonder the slavers took you. I imagine it was the easiest catch they had during their hunt." I rose slowly expe...

My granddaughter wants to meet you, you have frighten...
Thanks for all the votes and comments. If Preston didn't see the answer before here it is: I find the comments very motivating and read all of them. Nothing is more encouraging at 5 AM than what you all write in response to me. (I like to write before work. It's probably normal somewhere!) Thank you again, send any feedback - good, bad, or indifferent - It...
Gao called Mera once more. Mera come back now! she sent. Mera replied, Madam Gao, I'm sorry. Shawn needs me. Then she muted the bond and left the forest. Gao was upset. The she wolf blatantly disobeyed a direct order from her Madam Alpha. She had to deal with her. Then, Andrew entered. He reached for her hand. Gao thought. If something happened to him,...
Once the tears dried I looked around. This area once had been bustling, there were the foundations of innumerable buildings. A crumbling wall surrounded the entire area. I wandered toward the only building with a roof. There was no door, just an opening in the wall. I reached out and touched the pink brown stone and it crumbled a little under my fingers, t...
As hectic as his life seemed, there was nothing that put him more at ease than watching his son sleep. The look on his tiny cherubic face made Steven feel as though he could handle anything; that no matter what, everything would be alright. He leaned down and placed a loving kiss on his head remembering how his father used to tuck him in every night when he...
