Mated to the Warrior Beast

[COMPLETE] What life is left for a warrior when there is no more enemy to fight? ...He knelt before her in the posture of a soldier giving honor to their Queen. And she didn't even know it. “Harth," he rasped, "I come empty-handed. I bring no weapon. Because I swear to you, I will never choose to harm you. Never draw your blood—in anger, or in fear. I bring no shield. Because I vow I will never defend myself from your eyes, your hands, your mind. I am yours.” ***** After a year of peace in Anima, Tarkyn finds himself... lonely. As the Captain of the Queen's Guard and a lion-shifter, he has met every female in the tribes, but never found his mate. Certain he must have overlooked someone, Tarkyn undertakes a grueling ritual, pleading with the Creator to reveal her. But the ritual presses him to the end of even his formidable strength. Yet, the Creator heard his cry... Discovered on the brink of death by his mate, Harth, and nursed back to health, Tarkyn now faces the most difficult battle of his life. Because Harth isn’t just a stranger to the Anima, she is a weapon of the humans who tried to destroy them. Can the love of a warrior and his enemy bring peace to Anima? Or will they be torn apart forever by war between their peoples? ***** STANDALONE STORY: While Tarkyn's story is a part of the Anima world and fans will be reunited with some of their favorites as side-characters, Tarkyn and Harth are new POV characters and their story is a new plot arc, so their story can be enjoyed without reading the previous books! But please add Falling in Love with the King of Beasts, and Taming the Queen of Beasts to your library to enjoy later! Cover Art by artist: Aenaluck.

Calling the Queen - Part 1

~TARKYN ~

He hadn't meant to slam the door when he walked into the Security Council building, but he flipped it closed a little harder than necessary and the shuddering thunk of it in the frame turned all his friends heads.

Elreth, Aaryn, and Gar stood at the back of the room, while a handful of guards clustered near the door. They'd all been talking, but their voices stopped when he stepped in the door banged.

Ignoring the sudden tension in the room—or perhaps, appreciating it—Tarkyn strode through them, letting them scent his authority so that the guards all shrank back as he entered.

Elreth tilted her head, a warning in her eyes as he strode towards her, but Tarkyn didn't miss a beat, slapping a quick fist to his chest in salute as he approached, then stalking right up to stand at her toes.
