Sometimes living amongst the clouds made it difficult to know when one year ended and another began. And so it was for Adrastus.
His form had filled out to a mass of rippling sinew and muscle. Adrastus's voice was deep, seductive, and pulled at the heartstrings of even the most cynical young maiden in Asgard. And therein lay the problem for Loki.
His charge was nearing the mating age for dragons, and although they never spoke about it, Adrastus was aware that he was the only
The days blurred in the young dragon's mind. No one spoke to him for fear of Loki's wrath, and Adrastus kept his head down to avoid confrontation. Cindelle hurried away whenever they were in the same vicinity, and although he knew why it still broke Adrastus's young heart. This day was like any other. Adrastus trained hard. He studied, ate, and performed his duties. The only saving grace was the swim at the end of it. He wandered down the familiar path to where the waterfalls of Asgaard were, only this time when he reached his destination Adrastus was not alone.Staring into the crystal, clear waters was the Oracle-Cindele's grandmother."Come closer, child, I don't have much time," The old woman beckoned, and Adrastus obeyed. She had her feet in the water, and her milky eyes shone with a strange light, yet when she grasped onto his hand Adrastus wasn't afraid, "I have had a vision, and you need to see it, close your eyes and open your heart and mind." Again Adrastus d
Listening to the rain thundering down was always calming, looking out onto the city's lights at night being the perfect way to unwind, April thought as she slowly bought the glass of wine to her lips.Her apartment was on the top floor of the designer building, away from prying eyes, with the illusion of privacy serving to calm the savage beast inside, quite literally.April was a we
Bright lights flashed, and the questions started as soon as April exited her apartment building, the paparazzi were always there, waiting for any chance sightings, and she was grateful to her bodyguards for keeping the physical presence at bay as she waited for her car to be bought around."April, over here, can you confirm the rumors circulating about Kevin and yourself in a romantic relationship!"
Kevin hovered over her, his dark eyes worried, and Celine wished he would listen to her, but by the time her husband got to the hospital and made his way up to her private room, he was practically tearing his hair out in anguish. Sometimes being married to a human was draining..."Honey, if you don't stop pulling at your hair, you will go bald, and I promise I will be forced to rub your shiny melon every day for good luck!"
The shower served the purpose, rinsing the latest fatalities blood off of Zade's skin, but as usual, he never really felt clean; his wolf made sure of that.Zades' strong hands pulled the muck out of his hair, the blonde mess plastered to his head as he tilted his face directly into the spray.When had things gotten so damn hard?
The studio was deserted, all except for one lone figure, seated at a piano, waiting for the night to lull the Alpha to sleep so she wouldn't feel him anymore.April knew that the lyrics to her latest song would stir up some emotions, but maybe it would prove cathartic for her heart as well.Writing about Zade was always hard, but bringing the lyrics to life with her voice took the pa
There were many things that Zade should be doing right now, border patrol rosters, war council meetings, young warrior training...instead he snuck out of the packhouse like a naughty kid to come here. It was his secret, the hidden lagoon nestled deep in the heart of the pack forest, spelled by a witch with familial ties so that generations of Alpha's could relax when things got too much for them.The well-traveled path down into the Gully felt soft beneath his feet and as he stopped for a second to fully appreciate its beauty, Zade thought back to a time where things were easier. When
Her voice was tired and her eyes hurt, but April couldn't bring herself to turn away her youngest fans, begging for their autographs. Truth be told sometimes it was the only thing that kept her singing. Gods when did her life get so boring? She had sell-out tours for the next three years, and a more than healthy bank account, but what did it matter when there was no one waiting for her at home? Signing the last piece of paper thrust into her hands, April finally made it backstage and out of the public eyes." Another stunning performance." Kevin drawled, packing up his equipment into the band's road wagon. If it wasn't for the bags under his eyes and the tightness in his features, April would have thought everything was okay, but because she knew the details, she could see beyond the smoke and mirrors. "How is Celine?" She whispered, briefly touching his arm in an attempt to offer comfort. The fact that Kevin pulled away, creating distance hurt her but she u
