Society of Supernatural Sleuths Box Set 1, page 31
Scarlet’s mouth dropped. “In love with me? No, I couldn’t be the one. He never said anything to me about it.”
“Looks like you fit the description, Scarlet,” Kat said. “He’s quite popular here in Anachronia, especially amongst the ladies. Not that he seemed interested in any one of them, but he is quite the eligible bachelor.”
“He is?”
Scarlet pictured Gordon, who was always dressed impeccably…the perfect gentleman and companion for her when in town. Gordon Harris was one of the things she had missed about London. Nominally her fencing tutor, he in fact assisted Scarlet in most of her more physical studies when she was in the city, and had been a good friend for years.
But now that she knew how he felt about her, she did admit to finding him attractive throughout the years, and how occasionally, she did wanted him to kiss her. There were moments, but he had never moved forward so she thought he only wanted to be just a friend.
Kat said, “Oh, the bath is being prepared,” she moved over to allow two strong young men carry a wooden tub into her room. Ladies dressed in flowing colorful gowns proceeded to bring hot water, flowers, oils, and all sort of beauty bath necessities. “Do you want them to wash you for you?” Kat asked.
“No,” Scarlet said, “I could manage that myself.”
“They do wonders with their massages,” Kat said.
“I’m rather modest when I’m taking a bath,” Scarlet said, not letting Kat know she was the opposite when making love with her lovers.
Kat watched the ladies finish preparing the bath and said, “Alright, girls, this girl wants her privacy.”
They smiled as they quickly took their leave.
Kat said, “Enjoy!”
Scarlet went to the bathtub and smelled the steaming scent of roses and jasmine in the air. It smelled wonderful, and she was ready for a bath. She had mud and dirt on her face from falling from the sky to Anachronia and then from Kat dropping her onto the leaves in the woods. She must look an awful mess. She quickly stripped every garment off and sank down into the tub.
It was heavenly, warm, and incredibly relaxing. Her muscles ached, and she was exhausted. Soon her eyes were closed as she fell asleep with her head rolled back out of the tub.
She dreamed she was getting a massage on her breasts from Cruces. His hands were rubbing her breasts bringing her nipples to its peak before his tongue circled around them, licking them, before he bit them.
Tavian was massaging her folds, his strong fingers plunging deep into her. She moaned out loud as he thrusted into her again and again. “I want more,” she whispered. “So much more.”
The water splashed, and she felt her mouth being devoured by a hot delicious mouth. “I love you so much, Scarlet,” a familiar male voice said. “I missed you and thought I’d never see you again.”
She opened her eyes to see Gordon’s face in front of her. He kissed her, his mouth moving against hers hungrily. “I’ve dreamed of kissing you like this. Of making love to you. For years, but was too afraid of losing you as a friend. I couldn’t bear not having you in my life,” he said between kisses.
Scarlet almost couldn’t believe it was Gordon who was plunging his fingers into her and not Tavian. He was an amazing lover. She still couldn’t believe it was the same Gordon she grew up with.
“Gordon?” she finally looked at him as he shifted away from her in the tub, which thankfully was large enough for the both of him. He was fully naked as he stood up, the water glistening on his muscular body, toned to perfection. “I never knew you were so…” she gulped. He was beautiful.
And large. Hard.
“I want you so badly, Scarlet,” Gordon said. “I waited too long. Lost my chance years ago, but when I saw you with that vampire dandy and the gypsy, I knew I couldn’t hold back.” He looked into Scarlet’s eyes. “I know this isn’t how you pictured our reunion…how we would be when we see each other again, but I’ve learned from being in Anachronia to take the chance when you can…you never know how long you would live. I promised myself I would make love to you when I see you again. Do you want me, Scarlet?”
He lifted her legs out of the tub to position them around his waist while his fingers rubbed her swollen clit.
She was consumed with intense pleasure as his fingers played her.
She needed him.
“Please, Gordon,” she moaned. “Enter me now!”
He smiled as his tip moved up against her, rubbing her, making her moan for him.
“Don’t make me beg you again,” she moaned.
“I won’t, my love,” he plunged into her then rock her with all he had until they were lost in their love, climaxing together with an intensity that left them breathless.
He finished washing her and kissed her. “You must love me to go through so much trouble to find me.”
“I cared about you, Gordon,” Scarlet said. “I kept thinking it was because we’ve been friends for so long, but when you went missing…I finally realized I did love you.”
“I’ve always loved you,” Gordon said, drying her with a towel. “I just couldn’t tell you earlier.”
“Why couldn’t you come back to me? To London? Why did you remain here?” Scarlet asked. “Could you or were you held back?”
Gordon looked down and away. “I’ve always wanted to tell you this, but thought you would feel differently about me if you knew…”
“What?” Scarlet asked.
“I’m not lost, Scarlet. I’m from Anachronia, and I am the son of the General here. They have an ongoing war, which was why I couldn’t return. I’m second-in-command but in charge of protecting the Castle and the surrounding areas from the attacks.”
“You were the one in silver leading the hunting party earlier,” Scarlet said.
“Yes,” Gordon said. “I called out to you. I saw you. I knew you came through into Anachronia. I had a vision of it.”
“You did?” Scarlet asked.
Again Gordon seemed embarrassed. “I thought you of all people would be able to figure me out. I’m a supernatural, too. Goolrick is my cousin, and I am also a wizard.”
Chapter 8
Cruces
“We are almost there, Fae,” Cruces said. “I could feel my mark on her since we are so close.”
The sight of a castle resembling the medieval castle, Warwick Castle came into view, which brought back memories of when it was first built. Cruces had been there. He had been there centuries before the land was cleared and was even a part of England.
There had been many deaths there, people imprisoned in the dungeons, and now he could see the ghosts walking about as though they were still going about their daily lives.
Tavian spoke. “This castle looks like the one in England, but it is different.”
Cruces blinked his eyes and saw that Tavian was correct. He had let his memory cloud his eyes for a minute. “You are right.”
Thoughts of his bloody past kept flashing into his mind ever since the gypsy boy told him of his village’s slaughter in Romania. It was where Cruces, Rothschild, and Lydia were turned. Romania. Where their Vampire Maker lived and ruled with fierce brutality after a wizard turned his mind black and full of hate for humanity. His father the Vampire King became a monster with an unquenchable thirst for human blood and cruelty.
He remembered leading the charge, the raids upon the villages. He was the heir to the Vampire Kingdom after all, wasn’t he?
Flashes of brutal and bloody scenes filled his mind. The screams, the destruction. The senselessness of it all. He remembered Tavian’s village. It was just one of many the vampires had plundered and destroyed. Filled with blood-thirsty lust and the monster within, he didn’t care what he destroyed and the lives of the many he took. He was a vampire after all, wasn’t he?
Those were his most horrific days, which he had tried to forget after centuries.
It was until he saw the face of Scarlet from afar, from a vision, that he knew he could change. She looked like a goddess, one who he would have married in the immortal realm. But she was one of them…a human. No matter how much he hated humans, because he was turned while being a weak sniffling do-nothing human, he loved her.
Then when she appeared before him in London, he knew he couldn’t go back to being a vampire. He knew he had to help the humans.
Tavian was walking through the gates of the castle while Cruces followed slightly behind. The memories of being at this castle was confusing him. Being in Anachronia was confusing his body and his mind.
Then he saw Scarlet standing in a golden-haired man’s arms. Gordon. She had found him at last.
“Cruces! Tavian! Thank God you found us. Gordon…he’s not lost at all. He’s an Anachronian. He’s from here. He’s safe and well. I don’t have to worry any longer.”
Cruces looked Gordon over and noticed for the first time since seeing him that something was amiss about the handsome human.
He wasn’t human.
He was a wizard. An all-powerful wizard.
Who had been molding and manipulating Scarlet since childhood.
Who had planted into the minds of her human parents that she had special gifts which would help them locate supernatural devices.
No wonder why his mind was acting strange once he stepped into Anachronia.
The wizard’s powers were more powerful than all the supernaturals in this world. It had the power to confuse the mind, the power to let them see visions that cause them to go insane.
Gordon smiled at Cruces and Tavian, his arm holding Scarlet tight against him. “Thank you for bringing Scarlet to me. I missed her so much. But I think she likes it here, too.”
Scarlet beamed, “I’m very proud of everything Gordon has accomplished in Anachronia. I didn’t even know he was a supernatural. A wizard of all things. I had no idea.”
That’s because he had glamour her into not being able to see him as a supernatural.
“And…Gordon had figured it out! He is brilliant as well as beautiful,” Scarlet continued. “He used the gaming pods the gamers from the future came through to Anachronia with, to get Cecilia into their time period…our future. The year 2020.”
Tavian smiled and clapped his hands, not knowing what this smiling conniving wizard was planning.
“I’ll be going with Gordon to New York to the year 2020 to find Cecilia. Tavian, too. And you, Cruces.”
“It’s ready to go…the pods,” Gordon said.
“I am ready to retrieve my sister,” Tavian said. “Let’s go.”
Cruces followed them to the pods and watched them get into them.
Scarlet was so delighted, and Tavian was shaking Gordon’s hand.
He didn’t want to break Scarlet’s heart now that she had found her long lost best childhood friend.
But was he sure?
Was his mind playing tricks with his memories like before?
He hope to dear God it was just tricks because if he remembered correctly, the man called Gordon standing next to his beloved Scarlet was none other than the Wizard of ancient times who turned all the vampires into mad blood-thirsty killing machines…turned their minds around…turned them mindless. He was the one who put a spell on his father the Vampire King and turned him into the crazed brutal vampire who terrorized and murdered countless humans.
“Come on, Cruces,” Scarlet said. “We’re heading to the future, and we will make big changes in this new world.”
“With your help,” Gordan said, “I’m sure you can bring your gifts as a vampire to affect all humankind.” He grinned. “We can begin the world all over again.”

Cruel Princes of Wyvern
All-Boys Academy
When I received a royal decree from Queen Jade of the Emerald Realms to attend school at Wyvern School for Boys, I thought it was a prank pulled by my friend William who apprentices with me at the Blacksmith. There was no way I could attend such an elite school just for kings-to-be.
But it was a Royal Decree, and if I don't obey the Decree, there was a threat of death to me and to all I hold dear, which probably means William and his parents, Bilbo and Kate, the blacksmith and his wife, the alchemist, whom had let me stayed with them since I became an orphan.
To keep them safe. To keep me from losing my head, I packed up what little belongings I had and enrolled at Wyvern School for Boys.
Everything at Wyvern School for Boys was meant to intimidate. Being the only girl at a school of incredibly handsome boys, especially the Four Princes, was intimidating.
Not to mention the cutthroat competition that literally cuts students from the school.
I'm stuck in a hard place...either get killed by defying the Royal Decree and also get everyone I cared for, killed. Or stick it out at Wyvern School for Boys, despite all the bullying and cutthroat games Wyvern has in store for me.
Of course, there is no choice...I must survive Wyvern School for Boys, or die trying.
Did I mention this is a school for Dragons, too? I just have to watch out for the fire.
***The Cruel Princes of Wyvern Series for mature teens and up (17+) and is a paranormal dark fantasy bully romance reverse harem that will contain steamy and scorching scenes, dark fantasy elements, and consensual sex. This is a high school NA series.

The Shadowlight Academy Series
About the Series
Unlike many high school heroines in fantasy books, I always knew I was not ordinary. Far from it. Since I was two, I have been seeing angels and demons. Given the gift of battle as a warrior, my role as a slayer often interferes with my role as a normal girl. So no, I was never a typical girl who had just found out she was heir to some magical family or something like that. I've been "gifted" practically all my life. So when my ordinary family moved us to San Francisco to a new school where my father teaches, I didn't think much of the school. Shadowlight Academy, the most exclusive and posh prep academy for the super rich. I thought I would be there to slay the evil like an undercover superhero amongst the ordinary. I just didn't think the ordinary would all be extremely unordinary. Especially the three most popular kids in school. Then there's the hot brooding rebel boy who didn't seem to fit in, too. Everyone here has secrets, and I am determined to find out what, before it kills me...the entire Academy and even the world. Okay, I might be dramatizing a bit, but yes, from what I've barely seen...it could be that big. Better get my game gear on and my entire armor on, because this is going to be one epic battle. But who can I trust?The Beautiful Ones, which rule Shadowlight Academy is known to be both beautiful yet wicked. They're fascinated with me as I am of them. But who or what are they really, and why do I feel drawn to them like a fly to a spider? Can I escape their beautiful web before I am trapped forever? Do I want to?*The Beautiful Boys is the first in a high school paranormal academy series for mature teens and up. Expect a tough heroine who can take on anyone and anything, with lots of steam literally and figuratively, and a reverse harem romance.
