Bryce clenched his teeth as the searing hot metal touched his skin on his chest. Charlotte giggled, rolling the tip across his bare flesh, ensuring the red-hot side was always touching him. She had removed her Paralysis on him once she knew he was secured to the beam. He pulled against the chains, but they were thick enough to withstand his strength, same as the beam. He figured he’d bring the whole building down if he broke that.
“Tell me where the Princess is hiding, and we can en...

They were a few blocks from the temple when the sound of ringing bells filled the city, signaling all of Witchbrook’s defenders that enemy ships had been spotted approaching the harbor. Bryce cursed the timing. He almost considered turning back to get Thea and the others, then making a run for the guild together. Before he could, Vex’s ears went flat, and she let out a low growl as her pace slowed.
“We’re being followed,” she said in beastkin.
Bryce’s eyes wid...

The words sounded slightly wrong, as if he couldn’t get his tongue to roll the same way Vex or Nicole could to pronounce certain syllables. Maybe it was because he didn’t have fangs, and that made the sound strange?
Vex looked up at him from the book, her ears flat and her tail curling under her. He had wondered what her reaction would be when she learn, and he figured it would be a combination of her usual stubborn self and anger. Not an expression of defeat.
“Why?”

Bryce lay in bed with his arm around Callie after their late-night activity. Sweat still clung to their bodies, and the blanket only covered their lower half as they cuddled. Callie was drawing circles on his chest with her fingers, while Bryce finally talked about his meeting with Isabelle.
“She kept saying I didn’t have a choice in it,” he said, feeling the pattern her fingers were taking. “She said she didn’t bless me, that she merely told the Goddess about me, and Ciarra c...

Duchess Frozenveil awoke to a loud explosion that shook her tent. She stared up at the darkness of the tent’s canopy as the screams of dying men, dust, and smoke greeted her. Quickly, she stood, only pausing long enough to wrap the silk sheet of her bed around her nude body before exiting through the tent flap.
The camp was roaring with activity, men shouting and running toward the temple where the sealed entrance was now open, surrounded by rubble, fire, and dead and dying men.

Callie held out her hand towards Bryce, taking his and pulling him towards the bed. Her legs spread apart, showing her wet slit, glistening in the low light. Her hand started on his belt.
“I’ll help you relax,” she said, pulling the belt out of the loop before reaching into his pants to pull his cock free.
She cupped his balls in her hand, gently massaging them as he started to become erect.
“Once we're both good and relaxed, then we can talk,” Callie said before...

Ash was an exile when he first arrived in De’Vas…
Since then, he has endured hardships and trials, growing the strength of both himself and his district to survive. He found friends and lovers in his new life, all while building a home.
Then the Coalition took him away from all that, casting him into a strange new world, one he had only hea...

Three hours later, Ash had gathered in the council chamber with the other council members. Before them, Councilman Loki stood at a podium with a projector screen displaying clips of recent news coverage behind him. The clips showed a group of paranormals and mages appearing out of thin air, then charging the building while firing weapons and spells at the guards. Most entered while the orc with the flask and the sniper harpy remained outside.
“This is a damn shit show,” Roc said as ...

Ash stepped through his personal portal, emerging in Selena’s office in District 208. The first thing that greeted him was the large painting of her family castle back on Vas. The one that now belonged to her uncle, whom Cleo had worked to establish trade relations with for the council.
There were several other pictures on the wall that Ash examined as he made his way to the office door. One caught his eye, and he knew it was from a few months ago when all of them went to the beach, S...

Bryce was still rattled from his fight with Isabelle by the time he left the Rim. He still felt angry about what she had done, but another part of him knew deep down she was right. He probably wouldn’t be alive right now without Ciarra’s intervention.
He kept walking when he arrived in the guilds section of the city, despite the gathering storm clouds in the sky. He needed to cool his nerves more before returning to the mercenary guildhall, so he continued on the path, planning to i...

After meeting with Mark, Bryce went into the yard with his girls and trained. Well, he trained in throwing the quills of his Quill Wyvern Aspect, the girls instead gathered around Vex as she tried to teach Omelet a command for flying. The scene was almost comical as Callie and Janna tried to persuade Omelet to take flight while Vex waited, ready to say the command. Omelet spent much of his time walking between Callie and Janna, seeing which would relent and give him the treat they held.

Thea bit her lip as she looked down at him.
“Just promise me that if I become—”
Bryce cut her off.
“I promise I won’t let that happen.”
He stood to his feet, watching Omelet make his way over to join Bellamy under one of the trees. He didn’t miss that his old mentor was watching him and Thea. When he met her gaze, she closed her eyes and leaned back against the tree. He seriously doubted Bellamy would be sleeping any, but he understood the ruse she was tr...

Duchess Frozenveil’s knife cut through the salted pork before her. The grating sound of the blade sawing against the plate in order to make the cut filled her tent. The stiff, dried meat would be the only kind she would get on this island other than fish. There were no living animals left on land. Even the rats were undead.
She speared a piece of pork with her fork, lifted it, and placed it in her mouth, chewing as she looked over the notes and crystal before her on the table.

After Nicole, Olivia, and Bellamy left, Bryce stared out over the city. He was still angry at Mark for giving him this mission to guard the princesses while the rest of his guildmates risked their lives defending the city. The berserker may have paid him a hefty sack of coin, but it didn’t change the fact that people he knew would die while he sat in relative safety not far away.
He heard the door open behind him, and he saw only Janna step out onto the roof. He gave her a nod as she ...

Bryce left Mark’s office, his knuckles white as he gripped the contract. The door slammed shut behind him, but he doubted anyone noticed with how packed the tavern was. Vex, Janna, and Thea were now inside and standing by Nicole’s table. Nicole gave him a sad smile, her feline tail flicking behind her.
“What happened?” Vex growled.
Bryce handed the contract to Vex when he arrived at the table.

When Bryce and Callie returned from the stream, all the girls were staring at them. Feeling their gazes on him, he took a seat on the large stone he had been sitting on earlier, Callie joining him. Janna blushed from where she sat, and Vex smiled, her tail wagging frantically behind her. Charlotte just glared at them, her face red, but the gag was shoved back in her mouth.
“Did she give you any trouble?” Bryce asked, nodding toward Charlotte.
Janna shook her head.

Bryce relaxed in the cool stream, the current gently washing away the grime from the day. He still had no idea what the hell Janna had done to frighten Charlotte so badly, but he planned to wait a bit to see if the princess changed her tune before returning to the Duke’s estate. The last thing he wanted was for her to reveal Alice’s secret.
He dunked his head into the water, and when he resurfaced, he saw Callie on the shoreline, still in the dress she had worn at the Duke’s gath...

The tattooed goblin was wearing a pin-striped navy suit with a name tag that said ‘Head of IT’ and was filling a cup with coffee from the table on the side of the conference room.

Not long after leaving Councilman Loki’s office, Ash and Eva stood by the portal of District 1, punching in the numbers for District 114. Usually, he would just return home and use his private portal to arrive at the Flatiron. Instead, Councilman Loki had made a request that shifted Ash’s plans slightly, so he was now using this portal since it would put him closer to Horn and Tail Publishing.

Bryce sat on a large stone while Callie tethered Charlotte to a tree. The sound of moving water was the only sign of the stream she had spoken about. Vex sat on the ground next to him while Janna and Thea found seats on an old log a little further away. He rolled one of Vex’s arrows in his hand, examining the red mana crystal near the arrowhead.
“You came up with this, Vex?” he asked, seeing the magic swirling in the crystal.
Vex smiled proudly and nodded.

Bryce narrowed his eyes at her.
“Why are you in a dress?” he responded, not fully processing the question she asked.
Vex smiled as she grabbed the hems of the dress an...

Bryce watched as the Quill Wyvern tore the leg from a sea elf guard, the man screaming as he tried to drag himself away. Only for the monster to pin him with its claws before tearing away his other one.
The abomination was lying in a bloody wriggling mess, and the guards, both sea elves and puppets, were torn apart and being swarmed by Carrion Fairies. The monsters had only needed seconds to take out the force that Charlotte had used to assault the home of a Duke.

Callie drew the knife across the red thorn mark that had appeared on her arm. Blood trickled down as the blade cut into her skin, but her eyes were focused on the edge of the wood surrounding the estate. A single question repeated in her mind.

“The Divine help us,” Duke Brook said, staring at the abomination.
Jasper’s face remained neutral while he sent slashes of Water Blades at the creature as its body continued to appear around the hedge. The spell tore apart the hedges, revealing several pikemen following behind the creature, though its armor was decent enough to withstand the attack. Bryce grimaced as he counted nearly a dozen of them.
“Where the bloody hell are the guards?” the Duke bellowed.

One of the maids knocked, then both faced them, bowed, and left. The conversation inside the room quieted, and a moment later, the door opened to reveal Jasper. The Duke’s assistant opened the door the rest of the way and gestured for them to enter.

Cleo looked out of the window into the yard of Markal Castle, watching those who lived here move about their daily tasks. The blacksmith worked the forge, bakers filled their ovens, and hunters returned with wild game —all scenes that were once very familiar to her before she came to Earth. Now, even after a year living in the castle, it felt odd to her as if she were a stranger in the lands she once ruled.
