2022-02-25 12:45:25I barely remembered running into the forest even though I had little red marks speckling my face and arms from how fast I’d been going. Branches both barren and full of leaves slapped at my bare skin, but the proof of it faded within seconds.
Her scent was faint, but I followed the thread until it withered away in my hands. The shadows scurried into the darkest corners of the forest, retreating farther with every step I took. I had just noticed it when the sound of a wet gasp sounded
Jane DoeI apologize for the long break in between chapters! For the time being I'm not operating under a schedule, but I will be spending the day of 2/25 working only on Asher!

Reunion
Reunion Lola’s P.O.V. 10 Years Later… “Ramona, so help me! If you don’t stop stealing your cousin’s toys I’m going to sick Aunty Ember on you, and you know she won’t hold back.” I shouted from the kitchen, craning my head to look over my shoulder where I locked eyes with my dashing mate. Asher was leaned against the wall, his arms downright bite-able in the fitted t-shirt he wore. He brought the beer in his hand to his mouth, lips twisted in a knowing smirk that had me contemplating a fourth child. If this man doesn’t calm down, we’re going to have to hire a second nanny. He returned his attention to Zeke and Brandon as though our little heated exchange hadn’t occurred. On cue, Ramona let out a shrill scream that quickly morphed into pulses of erratic laughter. A familiar pang of longing hit my chest as it did every time I heard my daughter’s laugh. She sounds just like Mom. Ember’s monstrous roar emerged from the living room, followed by a cacophony of giggles from the other c
Ember & Brandon
Ember and BrandonSeven Years Later – Ember’s P.O.V.“Darcy Mathews, if I see so much as a single snowflake in the bathroom’s you’ll find yourself in detention for a week.”This was the fourth time this month that the pipes had nearly burst from being frozen solid. Damn water elementals.The squirrely brunette with her spattering of cinnamon freckles jumped a foot off the ground at the sound of my voice, unwittingly letting out a pulse of elemental magic that spiraled down the corridor in a gust of chilly wind. It slammed several lockers shut, startling a handful of students.“Sorry Headmistress.” She hung her head sheepishly.There was once a time where Tessa and I couldn’t control our magic. It was easier for my twin. No one looked twice when you sprouted flowers in your wake or animated the topiary bushes trimmed into animals. Starting fires, however, that drew attention.“It’s alright…” I sighed, taking it easy just this once. I already had a reputation of being a hard ass, but on
Tessa & Zeke
Tessa and ZekeSix Years Later – Tessa’s P.O.V.“What do you say we wrap up early and head out to the cabin—just the two of us?”A voice I spent the last six years memorizing called out from across the room. I lifted my head from the mountain of paperwork I was sorting through, a smile already tugging at my lips as I spotted the playful light shimmering in Zeke’s eyes.My mate and fiancé—a term I couldn’t seem to stop using—was peering at me from across our shared office, a shameless grin tugging at his velvet soft lips. I drummed my fingers across the top of the desk, tapping out a pattern that filled the silence between us.A jolt of electricity crackled along my skin, delving past my flesh to settle in my stomach. Once upon a time, I couldn’t bare more than a few seconds staring into those eyes of his. Now I couldn’t seem to get enough.We’d come so far from where we’d once been. Not as far as Ember and Brandon, who had a sea of troubles even six years later, but those two were ano
Breyona & Giovanni
Breyona & GiovanniFive Years Later – Breyona’s P.O.V.I appeared in a plume of inky shadow, emerging from the darkness like I’d been there all along. If there were any humans nearby—which my hearing told me there wasn’t—they’d see nothing more than a lingering shadow dancing along the brick walls of the abandoned store front I lurked outside of.This wasn’t my ideal hangout spot, but for whatever reason, this was where Freya had chosen to hide a bunch of magical texts and artifacts. I absolutely adored my job of traveling the country via shadows, collecting information that was thought to be lost among the witches.It was similar to what my parents had done, a realization that never failed to bring tears to my eyes.Even after all these years, I missed them so much.I slinked along the back wall, past the rusted dumpsters that hadn’t been used in Goddess knows how long, to the backdoor Ember’s source promised would be unlocked. Sure enough, when I tugged the handle, it swung open wit
Clara & Mason
Clara & MasonFour Years Later – Clara’s P.O.V.“Don’t you dare, little witch.” Mason warned in a low voice.A shiver worked it’s way down my spine when he placed his hand against my back. Even through the thin fabric of the dress I wore, I could feel the heat he exuded. One of the first things I’d learned about Werewolves was that they ran hot. Despite how hard I tried, a smile worked it’s way onto my face. My chest quite literally ached with the urge to cackle, but I couldn’t help it. It’s not my fault Tristan’s expression was absolutely to die for. Even Lola was having a hard time containing herself, snickering behind her hand as she watched the scene unfold.Tristan had been locked in place for the last minute in a half, staring at Holly like she had grown three extra heads. No one could blame the poor guy considering he was the only one who didn’t know his mate was pregnant.“You’re pregnant.” He repeated for the thirteenth time.A laugh exploded from my mouth seconds before Ma
Holly & Tristan
Holly and TristanThree Years Later – Holly’s P.O.V.The breeze was blissfully cold against my skin, the sunlight a slight tingle that rippled over my exposed arms and shoulders.Winter was approaching, tainting the air with its crisp scent. No matter how much I ventured outdoors and basked in the sunlight, I wasn’t sure I’d ever get enough. Even though I burned easily—thank you, Vampire genetics—it was a wonderful taste of freedom that I’d never take for granted.The shrill screams of children playing pierced my ears. I didn’t find it irksome the way some of the parents here did. Despite how loud they were, their wails were full of joy and innocence that could never be replicated or replaced.I looked up from the stack of papers in my hands, focusing on the children racing across the mulch just ten feet away. The tiny font had been giving me a headache for the past two hours now.“Honey, you need to stop and tie your shoe! You’re going to trip and fall.” The woman on the bench beside

Why does it cost to read the book??? Never enough rewards to earn to open a new chapter. This will be the only book I read.
I love this book! Hope you can publish it some day. Great job!!
I thought Vampires blood could heal ???
this is a rip off period no offense your book is great but I paid $50 and now they want more
The book seems to just drag on, I am loosing interest in this storyline. one chapter a disaster and the next a rescue beginning to feel like CW sitcom
this is awesome ...
Very interesting story line to date.
Pls give encouragement to the author and not criticise just cos the chapters are not updated regularly. Its not an easy job writing … and since the story is very good, do be patience…I intend to re-read the book once totally completed. Thoroughly enjoyed all your works Ms Doe. Ty fr yr hard work ...
when is the rest comming?????
Rowan... fk off.
Probably their first born
I'm gonna have to go back and reread half this book just to figure out what's going on. idk where you're from but today is 2/26/22 in USA so please update more than one chapter a month!!!!
I’d prefer her to take her time and give us quality chapters that fit with the integrity of the story. If you don’t want to read it, then don’t.
what does she have to pay??
Omg then don’t read it dude! Coming on here and belittling a writer bc they don’t do what you want with THEIR BOOK is bullshit. This app is for UNFINISHED BOOKS. Don’t start to read it if you can’t handle it. Sounds like Barnes and Noble is more appropriate for you
She also ran off on her own to save breyonna just now js
more chapters please
I love this story
Can't wait to read more about Alpha Asher.
one chapter? when you're updating Iridian almost every other day? this is bullshit, frankly. I will never read another of your books.
Thank you! I didn’t like that either! I was not too thrilled with it lol ...
I'm disappointed that we waited two weeks for an update only to end up with one chapter.
I find it interesting shes upset with him blocking her out for a minute when she does stuff he's blatantly asked her not to just to spite him. She also refused to tell him where she really was when she went off with his brother until it was over....being a bit hypocritical Lola
I'm inwardly hoping that since the shadows are clearly afraid of her that her payment was just Breyonna's blood..... I'm sure that won't be the case but they drank it all up so it could be?
Thanks for the update! Loving it, can’t wait to read what happens next
thank you for the update! it's much appreciated ...
I was wondering the same thing
thank you for the chapter! I love all your books! :) x
Do you have a fan page somewhere?
wow what kind of magic is it that the shadows don't even want to get too close!
