There was no doubt in my mind that the place I had been was not of this world.

Not only had Sean been there, confusing me with talk of some mysterious person watching over me, but the concept of pain had been elusive and just out of reach. The peace that hung in the air, shimmering as brightly as the magic interwoven to create a place that was both real and memory, could only belong to some kind of afterlife.

At least, that’s what I was hoping.

Pain was the first thing I felt as that place slipped away. It held my head in its strong grip, claws digging into my scalp to produce a throbbing pain that chased me into consciousness. I hadn’t even opened my eyes yet and there it was.

When I did manage to peel my lids back, I tried to recoil at the pale face staring out at me.

More pain engulfed me, stinging my wrists, neck, and ankles. It blasted my mind, sapping my strength until even calling out to the shadows felt impossible.

I craned my head down, staring blankly at the silver-plated cu

  • 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

I think there’s more to Holly, I don’t think she’s truly helping her mother/her therapist/the blood witch, I think she probably had a vision and knows she needs to be there to help Lola. Cassidy is the second witch

i love Brandon!! i love all of the main characters! I have laughed and cried throwing the whole booo!

Forgot who was who because of the long wait. It's no longer as interesting because of this.

I’m so confused. Who is the second witch? Weren’t they just talking about the blood witch?

You are right. It was Sean.

Jake? Zeke...

Or she is thinking they can use Zeke since he is an Alpha like she wants to use Brandon.

Take advantage of the rewards each day. You will have enough to read as chapters are released then.

Read Iridian. It’s done and so good. Totally different. She has another book that is done too. Then come back to this.

Hey author, how about a Christmas present of the remaining chapters and a conclusion?? I had wanted to read your other books but have grown so frustrated with the way you have done this book

$200 for an e book ...

It’s too Long in between chapters I read other books who updated every day 2 chapters. Done with this book

Getting tired of waiting

I need a conclusion. More then anything in my life. Freak! This book is amazing!

Sean told her who the other witch is, not Brandon.

I stopped reading this book around 3-4 months and I just got back to it. Now I can read like 10 chapters instead on 1 jajajajaja! I really love the book but I already made my mind that It’s better to wait months to come back checking updates. Upsetting ourselves doesn’t work, so just chill out :b

Hopefully hearing that her sister has changed sides helps her to see reason

You do t have to read her books right away. Wait for them to be finished first. I am doing that from on with the other authors I read.

She doesn't have kids. She is single. Yes she has a job. Has nothing to do with it. Like I said you haven't followed her for long. She used to update regularly until she started writing other books. I would bet money she will be posting another book soon with about 15 chapters completed.

Ever think she has a job other this? Family kids etc?

Exactly!!!

I don't think it is jealousy either. She is torn between the love of her sister and mate, and the hatred she has for werewolves. She hates them because rogues killed her family. I think she is just trying to figure out her emotions. Maybe Tessa accepting Zeke will help her accept Brandon.

Ember is probably relieved that her sister is alive and also mated. These sisters love each other, I don't think she's jealous, I think she's happy. Go ahead Ember, he is yours and will cherish you an aggravate you as well if you let him

This author is ridiculous. She needs to just finish this book. She has lost interest in it a long time ago when she started writing Violets and Ash. She says she is going to concentrate on Asher. Never has. She is useless. I refuse to read any of her books. Even completed ones.

You guy are hilarious. She doesn't have a contract that says she can only update 1 chapter every 10 days. How can you even be that dumb and try to tell people that?

You 2 obviously haven't followed this author long. She has had so many excuses. When in reality she was just writing another book. We have waited up to 6 weeks for updates. She keeps dragging this out. She continues filler chapters. I am betting she is writing another book. It is her pattern.

That is exactly right. They have families, jobs, and stuff in life to do. Plus they need to follow what GN states.

people need to relax with the time. I know sometimes it is awhile between updates but you have no idea what is going on with the authors personal life. take a breath the book is amazing and has us so captured and it's over 200 chapters so I think she is doing something write. a little patience.

I have read authors who release 2 to 3 chapters a day.

Guys from what I gathered from what other authors have said, their GN contracts doesn’t give th much leeway. They can’t release a bunch of chapters at once. One author was trying to get a book finished and then GN told her to slow down and only release certain at a time etc.
