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.

Seeking Peace

~ TARKYN ~

Tarkyn watched his mate with ever-increasing pride. He could feel her fragility, the uneasiness she felt, like a cat walking on uneven stones—always aware that one might slip under her paws. And yet, she stayed calm and handled herself with dignity. She was truly an amazing female. He wished he could whisk her away from this place, hide her in the forest—take her to his lagoon… but he knew those were the wishful thoughts of a cub with no responsibility.

She was here to help him forge a bridge to peace. With a male who walked the knife-edge of sanity.

Tarkyn wanted to growl at the scent that came off the male, but though he was clearly in a dark place, his gaze was sharp with intelligence. This might be a male on the edge, but he wasn't disconnected from reality or intellect. Tarkyn had seen a soldier thrown over the edge of sanity. This male hadn't tumbled over that cliff yet. He still had all his faculties.
