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.

"You can't tell anyone, Lia," I said finally. Darkly. "It will freak them out too much. My parents… to them this place is just nothing but threat. They've forgotten that most humans don't even know Dad and the other Chimera exist. Let alone Anima. They don't get it. Seriously, you can't tell them."
"I'm not telling," Lia said hurriedly. "Do you know what my mother would do to me if she found out I was here? My Dad got stuck here for a while. You know that, right? He still pales every time they have to talk about it."
Ah, that was right. I'd forgotten. No wonder she could see the portals. Her dad was a Protector. Which meant, somewhere deep down, she was as well.
"So… this is going to be our secret, right?" I said carefully.
She nodded emphatically, but then turned to smile at me. "Which is exactly why you can kiss my ass if you think I'm not coming back. This place is fun."
