"Her name isn't Sophie, I lied, her name is Fatima Safiya Ashlynn - I thought she would die where I left her."

Lexie is not a warrior. In fact, Lexie is a painter. Her hands are always covered in paint. Never coming off. Always there. For Lexie, painting is an escape. An escape from her pain. She paints to avoid the darkness that is in her soul. She paints to avoid looking at the bleeding wound inside her chest. She paints. To forget. But then Lexie meets someone. Her mate. He also hides a dark anger inside him. An anger at everything and the world around him. When two souls collide, how do you fix each other? Atlas isn't looking for a mate. He's seen the effect of women within his life, and how cruel they can be. But then he meets someone. Someone he doesn't want to meet. A painter soul. And a warrior's heart. How will the two collide? ***Note this can be read as a stand-alone story. Moon Child can be found on world_joy_ bio page - feel free to read it to get other characters background story.

#12 in Fantasy "I'm a witch" I whispered slowly, secretly enjoying the intimacy of our bodies. He pressed me against his hard body leaning closely towards my ear, his breathing tickling my neck "Do not call yourself that... especially with my baby breathing in that little-curvy-soft-stomach of yours." He whispered harshly in my ear making me shiver at his conviction. Oh... Witch Goddess... why did that blasted one night stand had to take away my virginity by a human...? What do I do now? Should I tell him that I am a real witch? Better, should I send him to a deserted island? No... no.. no... then what will I say to my baby about his/her father? Then should I create illusions for the sin he did? Oh... it'll be fun doing that.. And yes also I can also make him do a dirty dance with a flick of my finger. And also I'll bring this arrogant self-centered man to his toes... HAHA HA HA HA HA HA... Being with him may not be that bad too. What happens when PEARL WILSON, a naughty trouble making Witch... a real witch... will have a not-so-planned one night stand with a ruthless, heartless and an arrogant ANIKETOS GIANNOPOULOS a Greek Sexy human Billionaire?

***COMPLETED*** "I need to talk to you." she said in a small voice shutting the door behind her. Her hair fell from her bun in red ringlets around her face; her eyes searched his making his heart race in a very uncharacteristic way. he'd had been with women since his wife died- mostly saloon girls but none of them made him feel as nervous as the one in front of him. "You need to spend less time full as a tick in the saloon and more time with your daughters." She said looking right at him, that wasn't what he'd expected her to say at all "I know what you're going through Mr. Clayton loss is hard but your daughters need you-" "Loss? What do you know of Loss Miss Wade you are merely a child." He snapped not wanting to hear everything he'd done wrong. What gave her the right to talk to him like that anyway? They had just met. She nodded slightly turning to leave as she absently played with a ring on her finger She turned back towards him "I was Engaged to a wonderful man Mr. Clayton His name was Fergus O'Reilly and he was everything to me... he died on the eve of our wedding. Now this ring" she said putting her hand up and gesturing to the emerald ring "Is nothing but a broken promise of the life we were meant to share.... But you, you have Wilhelmina and Lorelei. You have a part of your wife always. You have something I would give anything for. All I have are my memories." The woman had kept her voice calm, but to him it felt as though he had been slapped in the face. No one had ever spoken to him like that before. "Miss Wade I suggest you bite your tongue if you wish to stay on as the governess." "Alright fire me, but who will watch your children? Because you certainly won't!"
