The daughter of darkness, with an appearance blue as the day sky, flutters around in an attempt to meet her only lover. The ivory sphere glows and shines in all its glory, silver light oozing out of its curved ends, lighting up the inky blues dotting the sky. The little butterfly flies against the overwhelmingly dark surroundings, against the hulky and ominous trees, against the frighteningly large organisms that hover above it, against assumptions, predictions and whatnot. Stalk your eyes through the journey of this little winged creature in reaching the Moon.

Angel
She spred her beautiful, white wings, while offering her hand. "Lets go." The moon light shone on her pale, milky skin. The wind ruffled her snowy white feathers. She had pink plumb lips, her cheeks slightly pink from the crisp wind. Her eyes the most gorgeous shade of blue. No, her eyes were not that plain blue but the blue that makes you wonder what is behind such a gorgeous creation. Her night black hair ends with white. She tilted her head slightly, and smiled. "Coming?" I nodded, and took her warm hand. Her smiled widening, she jumped...Complete

Blurb: The yellow that poured through the window, to what felt like minutes ago, vanished, turning the pale sky into a vicious dark purple-a color that pledged allegiance to the story Lyall told me. The trees just beyond the empty home added to the believability of werewolves and witches. At this hour, twenty or so minutes past twilight, creatures were undoubtedly lurking just beyond the fringe. My heartbeat started its obligatory panicked beating before settling when the most fierce and scariest of monsters opened his hand for mine to slip into.Complete
A Mate Out of Murder: The Realms of Eldon Book 1
"What do you want with me," she demanded softly, her voice quavering as her cheeks heated with embarrassment at his reference to her actions of the night before. This bantering, flirtatious side of Zeke was turning her insides into a confusing mush. Zeke stopped his advance, leaving two feet of space between them, his fiery eyes boring into hers with a look of intense determination. "Everything," he admitted huskily. The answer took her by surprise. A flash of heat spread from the back of her skull to her toes, as if she'd been struck by lightning. Every nerve felt like she was on fire. Her wolf hummed with pleasure at the sensations while her human self felt like it was drowning in an ocean of panic. The dichotomy of her split emotions was a chaotic confusion she had never felt before. "You're going to...um," she stuttered, frazzled. Her eyes darted around the room, looking for anything to distract her from the heat in his unbroken gaze, before finally settling on the smooth marble floor under her bare feet. She cleared her throat to start again. "You're going to need to be a little more specific." ~~~~~~~~~~ Selene is the daughter of Corben, Alpha of Blood Fang.

Her Mate
"it's time". At the grave tone of his voice, I peak up at the sky to notice the once bright sky had painted itself in dark crimson. The sky is sored with black thin streaks which is beginning to form as all the once twinkling stars seems to have disappeared leaving only the now faint red moon. I inhale a huge amount of air; turning to stare at Luke. "You look surprisedly calm. How are you not scared of the chaos approaching? " A small silence follows after. He turns around and took lazy careful strides towards me; stopping only when both peaks of our shoes touched the other. The side of his lips curls up in a wicked smile as he leans in closer until I can smell nothing but his all so familiar musky wood mixed with a bit of oranges scent flow gently into my nostrils. "I watched my family being brutally killed before my eyes sweetheart. Trust me I am the chaos they should be scared of." With that, his deep crimson eyes flares brightly into a deeper shade of red. ••••••••••••• Elise White had waited and prepared patiently all her life to finally be mated with the love of her life; Daniel Silver, the Alpha of the silver pack and finally become his Luna but calamity soon ensues when their pack is attacked by another who declares war on them. Elise on the other hand soon realizes that the danger she'll encounter is much more deeper than she had thought as she battles to find the truth and danger which surrounds her existence as she alongside finds solace in the new grown attachment she feels for whom she thought to be the enemy.
