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.

NEXT GEN: What the Hell?
~ ZANE ~
Lia rolled her eyes, but plopped into the seat and pulled her legs in. I caught myself watching her move and shook my head.
What. The. Fuck.
Agitated and nervous and fucking pissed, I stormed around the car and got into the driver's seat, throwing it into gear and pulling smoothly but quickly away from the sidewalk.
"What the hell, Lia," I snarled, eyes on the road because I couldn't look at her because looking at her was doing something strange to my insides—and making my jeans too tight. Which was just wrong, wrong, wrong on every kind of level—
"What?"
I snapped my head to glare at her, forcing myself to keep my eyes on hers and not look anywhere else. "What? What?! What the hell are you doing in the human world? What the hell are you doing in high heels? What the hell are you doing shifting into your lion and walking through the city?!"
