The world has changed. Humans now know that supernatural creatures exist, and honestly it went better than anyone could have hoped. Until things that haven't walked the earth in centuries started waking up. Delany just wants to carve out a little life for herself under the radar. She works her jobs, she collects her pay, and she goes home. Everything seems to be going according to plan until something evil passes through a portal from Faerie to Earth. Maverick follows the creature through, tasked with hunting it down and returning it to the bonds it escaped in Faerie. No one knows Delany's heritage, but when Maverick crosses paths with her in his pursuit of the loosed evil he has some good guesses. Now she has a choice to make, she can let the evil kill Maverick and have one less worry, but with that she risks it destroying Earth in the process. Or she can help him return the creature to Faerie and find a way to keep the frustratingly persuasive Male at arms length. Delany knows what will happen if Maverick learns the truth, but something about him makes her want to risk it.

In a world of monsters, is it possible to find the beauty in each other? Ice melts... Power ignites... Bonds forge... Just in time to clash with the impending storm on its way. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "I think you have lost your mind," Soren suddenly muttered. Then it happened: Annika grinned. A glowing warmth lit inside, heating her cold interior. There was something extraordinary about the simplicity put into a grin. The anguish lessoned, and suddenly anything was possible. Surely the sky could fall if Annika could smile? "What makes you say that?" She asked as she continued her movements. The grin acted as a soothing balm on her aching heart. Annika might've been crazy to become so easily uplifted by an everyday facial expression, but crazy seemed like a much better term to be than slave. "Only a lunatic would approach me in my slumber." His eyes remained shut, and he didn't object to her petting, so Annika didn't stop. "Well... you wouldn't know if you were asleep?" "Mmm," the sound vibrated like a guttural hum, "I awoke the second you entered." "Did you?" Annika asked as she turned her head to study his face, but this time, his eyes were open, revealing those beautiful pits of colorless depths. --------------------------------------------------------------- (WARNING: MATURE CONTENT OF ALL KINDS *EMPHASIS ON THE ALL PART*) Highest Rank: 48 (thanks to you beautiful creatures)
