I know, it's been AGES since I've posted something new. It's been tough with everything going on with health issues and otherwise. I apologize for the long absence and appreciate all the positive wishes everyone has sent me over the past year, 2019 has been a stressful one.
I do have a new story, Time Ryder, out on Amazon in the anthology, The Mage's Apprentice! (Hit a #1 New Release on Amazon and #2 Best-Selling book.) Don't kill me, I wrote that story for publication nearly a year and a half ago and it's only now published. You might want to pick up the book--the stories are really good.
Anyway, here's to 2020 and finishing up this series! I hope you enjoy this instalment. :)

One curtain at the far end of Elena's room was drawn and the other left partially open. Not a trace of the earlier grey clouds remained, and the bright morning sun peered through the wooden slats.
See. He rubbed tiny circles on my back. I told you, you could get us here.
Elena cleared her throat, and Kellan glanced over at her.
"Stop looking so shocked." Kellan flipped me onto my back and kissed my nose. With a wide grin plastering his face, he extended a hand to help me up. "Of course she chose me."
"You may be our First, but it's not like Wren didn't have other options." Elena fanned herself. "Hot and powerful..."
Kellan crossed his arms over his chest and raised a brow. His grin faded from his lips.
"But I'm glad she did." Elena climbed off the bed then tossed her arms around me. "Because now I have a sister!"
"Well, at least I have one vote of confidence." I coughed and she gave me a final squeeze. "Because I don't think your mom or brother like me."
"Who cares? They don't get a say." She plopped down on the edge of her bed. "So I take it you worked things out with the Fire Circle?"
I wondered if he wanted me to tell her or not. When I didn't answer her, her gaze shifted from me to Kellan.
"You did work it out, right?" Her posture straightened.
"Well..." I cringed, waiting for her reaction.
"What about the contract?" She stumbled back until her legs hit the edge of the bed and plunked down on her butt. "The council is going to..." She glanced from Kellan to me. "You two are crazy. You know that, right?" Her forehead creased as if she was trying to figure something out. "What in the Circle's name are you wearing?"
"Um, well..." My face flushed hot. "It's not what you think, really." I hugged the length of cloth close to my chest.
"Is that a sheet?" Her eyes widened, and she bounced on the bed once, letting out a squeal. "Does this mean you two are official, official?"
