I am an avid bowhunter. I just got a new bow and have been excited for the upcoming season. I also leased out a new 350 acre plot of land and have been scouting it all summer long. I have seen several big bucks out and about. It seems like September 15th will never get here. Also this summer I met a girl while at the local archery range. Her name was Tammy...
She made her way through the woods, circling to get upwind of the crossing at the stream, then making her way down to it again. Eyes wandered, scanning the brush, the ground, watching each step as she went. She wasn't trying to be silent, but it wasn't in her to crash through the woods, either, so she moved easily, steadily. She smiled as she neared the stre...
Bringing Rainer forward once more, the boy sat silently crying as his fate was told to him by his Madam Alpha, her voice rising for all to hear. "Rainer, you are charged with stealing from the pack, destroying pack property, leaving the Den to go to the human city without permission, and covering for Lark and his cohorts in the rape and imposed dominance of...
I could feel him behind me...his very presence raising the hackles on my neck. His growl only made me want to run even more. I knew, though, that if I ran, I would become prey in his mind.

The remaining two princesses had to return to their homes. They were invited to the wedding, but that was all for them. As for the royal family of Henrill, the family that had reluctantly sent Rellenora to Zenthia ... The queen sat in her office, starting at a letter on her desk, her mouth agape. She stayed in there for some time, in the same position. E...
Ocar left his home on a fog shrouded day early in the spring. He paused as he crested the hill to the south, and took a last long look at the holding that had been his world for all of his 18 years. In the freshening wind, the quiet vale in southern Torvaldsland called to his young heart. However, he shouldered his pack, and resolutely turned southward. He...
Hilary was bubbling with excitement as she entered the room. "What has got into you?" Caroline smiled, hugging her friend and lover. "I am excited because we have been asked to join the local hunt!" "Oh..." Caroline frowned. "I am not into hunting, its a bit cruel." "Don't be silly, since the hunting ban they don't chase real foxes, they lay a trail for...
"Take me hunting with you," my wife said when I walked in the door after work. "I want to go hang out at the cabin with you this week," she added. Usually the deer camp consists of several guys sitting around a campfire and hunting all weekend.
