Lychos Cycle

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. Reluctant Princess “Syd,” I say. “If I were to step down as heir, would there be a place for me here?” She reaches out and takes my hand again. “Without question,” she says. “Any time, come as you are, you betcha. And hell no. Yes, because I miss you and love you and it’s not the same without you. The kids adore you, life is better when you’re here.” She looks away from me, up at the star-filled sky. Her sorrow is a living thing between us, my wolf snuffling at it and whining. “And no, because you are so much more than a servant to anyone. And if you came back, I’d worry it was for the wrong reasons.” Seven years have passed since Charlotte took her place as heir to the werenation. Still unmated and resisting her position, she longs for freedom she will never have, and life with a mortal man she loves. When a powerful new pack appears, Charlotte is instantly suspicious. Cicero Caine and his weres aren’t exactly what they seem. But the arrival of old enemies and a rising threat to all werewolves throws the wereprincess into the middle of a vast conspiracy, challenging the very foundations of what she’s been taught to believe.

Chapter 78: Hello, Syd

Syd has never been one to hide how she feels, but from the fury on her face, I can tell she's angrier than I've ever seen her. Erica backs off two hurried steps as the door behind me slams shut in the Enforcer's faces. I hear them pounding on the door, their magic buffering against Syd's while she stalks forward, totally silent for once, teeth bared, hands fisted at her sides.

Erica retreats behind her desk, shaking, eyes huge, hands up in front of her as the power of the Council holds off Syd. "How dare you barge in here," Erica splutters.

Syd laughs. It's not a pretty sound and I back her up by spinning past Shenka and flanking the Council Leader, keeping her pinned behind her desk, cutting off her chance of retreat. Syd ignores me, one hand rising, index finger on fire as she jabs it into Erica's chest so hard the woman jerks back.
