We were a few blocks away from the convention center when I spotted a red glow down an alley. My dragon eye recognized the spectrum of color as magic and not just some tinted light.
“Morgana, pull over here.” I quickly called out.
Morgana's van screeched to a halt, and I jumped out, rushing into the alley before the warlocks coul...
2021-11-03 07:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostKelly had planted herself at the bar top. I found myself once again tending bar in the otherwise empty lower level. She motioned to me for another drink. I shook the tequila bottle, trying to remember how full it had been when we started.
Morgana was off managing something in the club while we waited. Sabrina had sat down on a couch, and a...
2021-11-02 07:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI changed out quickly into a set of sweats I kept at the bar, deep within Morgana’s twisting corridors. It was starting to feel like I almost lived with her.
“Ready?” Morgana came back after dropping Sabrina off.
I released a sigh, having changed quickly enough for her not to catch me with my pants down, literally. The two time...
2021-11-01 07:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostMarvin sat up, getting out of bed, as he heard the door slam. He knew what was about to happen.
"Colonel, did they get you to? I-is the Fort gone?" He asked in a rush.
I understood how he could come to such a conclusion given my presence and the situation I’d just been thrown into.
"No. Marvin. I came to the city of Verdant, ...
2021-10-31 07:05:05 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t so stupid to think Apep was suddenly my best friend, but if it involved saving one of my men, I was going to follow her into hell if need be. Because I was doing this for one of my men. It had felt like I’d been here in Verdant for a while, but I hadn’t forgotten the men back at Fort Kopesh.
Part of me was even eager to retu...
2021-10-30 05:54:19 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn’t until after the convention that Jadelyn separated from Sabrina.
“I really like her.” Jadelyn said as I walked her to the dark SUV that would take her and her security team home. “You could really use the help of a wizard. They might not be great in a pinch, but a prepared wizard is a terrifying thing.”
“Are we r...
2021-10-29 06:46:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe night out with Morgana had been fun, but as I stepped out into the morning sunlight outside of the convention center, I regretted the last couple of drinks.
“Welcome to my world. The sun is a bitch.” Morgana laughed, stepping out of the car with ruby red shades that matched her eyes, once again in her classic leather outfit, only t...
2021-10-28 06:16:08 +0000 UTC View PostHalf an hour and several thousand questions later, Rupert and Detective Fox, and the girls came back into the room.
I’d just finished off another plate of food, stacking the empty plate on the leaning tower of dirty dishes that had accumulated. A maid swooped in, grabbing them and cleaning up my extensive meal.
“Please don’t st...
2021-10-27 11:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Wow.” I said as we pulled into the large circle drive in front of Jadelyn’s house. As soon as we came to a stop, the four black SUVs surrounded the BMW. House was a bit of a misnomer though, mansion was a far more apt description.
I ignored the SUVs blocking us in, surveying the enormous home. It was a massive stone structure, very ...
2021-10-26 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe sound of somebody jogging towards us on the trail had everybody on edge. I watched carefully, still protecting Jadelyn.
Into the clearing barged a wide eyed Kelly in a skimpy dress. She looked like she was about to go out to the club. She slowed down, taking in the scene around.
“Oh, wow.” She said, her eyes looked up at me a...
2021-10-25 11:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI left Cleo’s room, heading for the market street of Verdant. Lauren slithered at my side as we walked through the halls.
“Back to Ruby’s?” She asked, though I suspected she already knew the answer.
“Ruby said she’d get right to work on it when I handed her the gem yesterday. I can only hope that she’d already got it do...
2021-10-24 11:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Phew.” Cleo collapsed to the bed under me. “You know, while you were gone I didn’t even think of other men.”
I raised an eyebrow at her sudden admission. “You had a whole harem before me and you expect me to believe you didn’t even let your mind wander while I was gone for a few days?”
“Yes, but I think if I slept ...
2021-10-23 11:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostJadelyn spotted the troll at the same time, started to try to push around me. “Zach, watch out!”
Like hell I was going to get out of the way between her and a swamp troll. While it was still bubbling up to its full size, I moved, tackling it to the ground as more shouts started in the surrounding woods followed by gunfire.
Whatev...
2021-10-22 11:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI pulled up to the sorority house in one of Morgana’s BMWs and shot Jadelyn a text. As soon as I hit send, she popped out of the house.
Smirking, I knew that meant she’d been eager and waiting for me. Behind her, the door was filled with her sorority sisters, all gawking and gossiping.
I got out and gave Jadelyn a hug and a peck ...
2021-10-21 11:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostWatching Jadelyn duel, I struggled to stand by and do nothing.
Jadelyn’s life had been in danger and the protective part of me that was my dragon was in a fury that I had stood by and just allowed it to happen. It didn’t make sense to be so protective already. We hadn’t even gone on our first date, yet I found myself struggling not t...
2021-10-20 11:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt was Saturday, the day of the convention, and I was ready for whatever trouble the magi would bring. Getting out of one of Morgana’s nicer cars, it felt like a normal event.
Men in business suits and women dressed in a sensible level of wealth poured out of the parking garage alongside Morgana and I.
“What were you expecting? P...
2021-10-19 11:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI stared at Anubis. She now had a pack over her shoulder and beyond her the black beam coming out the top of the pyramid had disappeared. “Wait, you can just turn it off?”
“Of course. Even the God of Death has to take a vacation once in a while.” She said, as if it was common knowledge. She touched Bubbles, who immediately snapped ...
2021-10-18 11:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostAnubis led me into the pyramid. There wasn't a whole lot of pomp and affair. It was one large room that, save for the slight trickle of shifting sand, was silent. Large sandstone pillars rose up like behemoths watching over row after row of crystalline sarcophagi laid out before me like an army at the read ready before a massive black gate in th...
2021-10-17 11:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Okay that cliff on a Friday felt even too harsh for me. I love cliffs mid book to make turning the page for the next chapter oh so satisfying. So here's a deviation from our regularly scheduled broadcast. I'll do MH Sun/Mon.
The dumpster came to a groaning halt in my very large, now clawed hand.
I froze, staring at my ...

Almost done with the LR girls. I have one more in the works for Sarah, then I think I'm going to start on Mana.
2021-10-16 03:10:02 +0000 UTC View PostI was still sporting a wide grin as Kelly and I pulled up to Bumps in the Night.
“Could you stop smiling?” Kelly pouted. Her last several attempts to startle me into shifting had completely fizzled.
“Nope. I’m looking forward to your complete surprise when you find out what type of shifter I am.” I smiled as I slid out and ...
2021-10-15 11:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostBeing back in the bunker had an ominous feeling.
The front door had been replaced, but that was the only clean up that seemed to have happened since the battle that had raged inside. The old warehouse, which had served as the werewolf pack’s den and housed an entire bunker underground, was a complete mess. The rampaging pack of werewolve...
2021-10-14 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“More trolls?” Scarlett asked, as we headed out of class.
“Just one. It was at the convention center, so I did double duty and looked around the place, marking up all the enchantments with Morgana.” I kept my voice normal and neutral; it drew less attention than whispering. “Met my first magi.”
Scarlett pulled us away fro...
2021-10-13 11:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThere had only been a few enchantments I’d found that Morgana had marked, saying that someone more specialized than her had to come and inspect to determine their safety.
But we had found out why the troll had been drawn to the convention center. One of the enchantments put out a smell like freshly baked cookies. It was one of the enchan...
2021-10-12 11:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI stepped out of the cafeteria, moving quickly to get to the edge of campus. The monolithic buildings and manicured lawns of the college campus felt less calming than they once had now that I knew Philly had an underground society of the paranormal. I couldn’t help but look at people I passed and wonder if they were something else.
“Ro...
2021-10-11 11:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI had Bubbles’ body bent back while she sucked on my thump and I pumped the final thrust burring myself in her ass and unloaded my seed into her core.
Bubbles lost her form, falling into a sticky puddle. “Master, you’ve been so vigorous.”
Of course I have been. Every time we completed a challenge in one of these dungeon rooms...
2021-10-10 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostBubbles smashed the last of the latest patrol of skeleton. “Master, these things are boring.”
“Yes, they are, Bubbles.” I dusted off my hands after that last cyclone. “But when things start to get too easy, that’s when things always get harder.”
A haunting laugher echoed through the halls. “A wise man, I see.”
Scarlett was happily munching down a muffin at the table as I came back from the kitchen with an omelette the size of my head.
Morgana’s bar, Bumps in the Night, was slowly becoming my home. It helped that her kitchen was open 24/7, and I ate for free. Between the free food and the awesome suite she’d created for me in the magical pock...
2021-10-08 11:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post“I said to hold on to him!” Morgana yelled as two more red puffy darts lodged themselves in the mortar beside the troll.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” The world around me pivoted as the troll used me like a wrecking ball on the old abandoned building. So much for luring it and its friend out into a trap. The wall bounced, or maybe ...
