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.

Elreth woke later, rolling over and reaching out to find Aaryn—but instead got a handful of cold fur.
She lifted her head, blinking and bleary-eyed. The lanterns were on, but Aaryn had turned several down so the room wasn't too bright.
She might have felt nervous wondering where he was, but as soon as she paid attention she realized what must have woken her—it was the low rumbles of her mate and brother's voices, talking in the Great Room, but barely above a whisper. They were trying not to wake her.
She wanted to feel thankful and pleased, but the hair on the back of her neck stood up.
Was Aaryn telling Gar?!
She leaped out of bed and dressed, barely buttoning her shirt, before creeping out of the room and down the tunnel to the main cave and peering carefully around the corner to find them both standing in the living area, near the fireplace, though the hearth was cold.
