Google, google, google, my friends.

Qhuinn Ghardian

*It's been a brutal work out session. Pushing past my usual limits, my muscles scream for relief. I've been hiding down here for the past two hours, hiding from the pregnant female I share a suite with. Damn, I don't know what happened - she was sweet one moment, talking about the baby kicking, and next she was staring at my with murderous intentions. I'm feeling more and more out of my league and I wish I could make this easier for her.* What I need is a fucking instruction manual for this! *I let out a tired breath, speaking to myself. I should get showered up and see if she's calmed down. Laying back on the weight bench, I close my eyes. Maybe after I take a small nap. Get my energy back for another possible battle. I chuckle as my body relaxes. What the fuck happened to my happy Layla?"

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*** DREAMING ***

*There's a noise. I recognize it but it still confuses me. A baby's cry, a sound I haven't heard for a while. Young Nalla is older and babies in the Manse? But there's no denying the screaming young has woken me. They sound angry? Hungry? Lonely? I don't know. Why isn't anyone helping them? I sit up and look around. I'm still in the training room and the wailing seems to bounce of the wall - echoing louder and louder.*

Hello?

*No one answers. There's a feeling inside my chest. A tug and pull. An urgency that is building alongside the baby's cries. Placing my hand on my chest, it's heavy and uncomfortable. It comes with the thought "Find your child, Q. They need you."

This is my young? Yes. I can feel it. The bond is familiar now and blazing. Something is wrong and I promised. I promised I would always be there.*

Where are you, precious one? I'm coming.

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*Scanning the area, I don't see anything out of the norm. Just the usual weight equipment and mats. I can't tell where the crying is coming from, only that it's not in this room. It's .... over there.

A faint glow of light flickers from the locker area. Where the showers are and taking a few furtive steps forward, I can now here the echo from each cry bouncing off tiled surfaces. The young is there and there is no break in the screams. They sound desperate. Terrified. It strikes fear in me.*

Any one here? Layla?

*Where is Layla? I can't imagine her being far from our young. Did she have the baby already? I try remembering but the details are jammed. I can't think beyond the constant wailing. I saw her earlier. She was still pregnant. She'd just seen Doc Jane and there was no talk of an early delivery. Did she miscarry? Is the baby living its last seconds?*

FUCK!

*I race toward the showers, my feet pounding as loud as my heart. I come to a screeching halt. There on the wall. Fuck off. That's not ... is it?*

Blood

*A blood hand print smeared into a long trail. I instinctively reach for my daggers and come back empty.*

FUCK!

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*I can't take my gaze off the blood. Whose is it? It bombards my senses - teases it and I know. I know who it belongs to. Layla*

LAYLA! Baby girl, answer me please!

*I start running, ignoring the increase in blood. It's also on the floor and soon I see foot prints. Bright red staggering footprints. I need a weapon. I need something. The endless crying of my young heightens my awareness, pushing me straight into warrior mode. Whoever has done this. Whoever has dared to threaten what is mine WILL. DIE.*

Show yourself. Coward.

*I enter the showers and the blood scent is like a brick wall. Layla. My beautiful friend and mother of my child lies crumpled in a heap. Broken. Bleeding. Her soft white nightgown is scarlet red, vivid against the stark whiteness of tile. My eyes refuse to believe what I'm seeing. Layla. My Layla. Where is my child? Crying. Always crying.*

Layla! Speak to me.

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*I crouch beside her. There's so much blood. There's the faintest of whimpers but she's already turning blue. I move her, trying to access the damage. Where the fuck is all the blood coming from? My hands start checking her body, shifting her gown. Then I see. I see where the death blow was dealt. Death because there is no way I can save her from this horror.

My hands are covered in her life essence. I stare at her stomach, the place where the beloved young once rested, cradled. Nurtured. She was already showing and I can still remember the joy of placing my fingers on her bump and feeling movement. My hands shake as I reach out ... and find nothing. No bump. No sign that she is pregnant.

And still the crying continues. It shreds my nerves.*

Where is the baby, Layla?

*I pick her up and cradle her in my lap. Her breathing is labored, unsteady, faltering. Her eyes are slowly emptying, her life slipping away. Her lips are coated with blood and they move ever so slightly. A word. My Layla is trying to speak and I raise her face to mine, hoping to catch it before she fades. Nothing*

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, baby girl. Sorry I couldn't be what you want.

*I feel a faint wisp of air. A last breathe and with it a name. The one responsible for this.*

Lash.

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*Lash? What the fuck does he have to do with this? He's dead. I stabbed him once, right here in this spot. It was his blood everywhere. It was his death that changed my life and set the ball rolling. His death that gave my life purpose. His death that put me in the path to being with Layla in her needing. The fucker is long gone. Surely Layla was mistaken.

I gently try to rouse her again but her head topples backward. Her mouth open. Her eyes both returning a death stare. Her warm body already sending a chill through my grip. She's gone. Dead. Alone and unprotected.

I lay her back down and I see her stomach better. The blood isn't from between her legs. It's from her abdomen. Ignoring her last utterance, I rip the material from her body and gag at the sight. The horrendous sight.

Layla didn't give birth. No. The baby was ripped from her body. Something ... someone had descreated her by tearing her open and removing my young. Bile rises in my throat. Horror catches my breath. Rage fuels my vision.

Some. fucker. violated. her.

Some. fucker. stole. our. young. straight. from. her womb.

Some fucker.

Lash.

Crying breaks through the intensity. The maelstrom of emotions and fury. And laughter. Someone is laughing.

Lash*

Qhuinn Ghardian 

Welcome hello dumbfuck. You miss me?

*Lash. He's here with that same sick maniacal grin plastered on his smug asshole face. I raise to my feet, my fists clench, fury burning through my veins. Vengeance. Layla's blood screams for it. But first, my young*

Where. Is. My. Young. Fucker?

*My jaw is tight, my teeth clenched. I want to rip Lash apart with my bare hands. Only when I know my young is safe. Only when I can calm the relentless screams. Now I know why - they are frightened, alone, cold, ripped from the nurturing body of Layla. Lash with pay for this. Pay for eternity.*

You mean this? *Lash raises his left arm and from his hand dangles my child. A boy. A beautiful screaming boy. Mine. My boy. My only family. I reach again for my daggers, forgetting I'm weaponless and Lash laughs* Looking for this, Cock Sucking Asshat? *In his other hand, a dagger. THE dagger. The one I killed him with.* Sorry about the mess, but I was getting impatient, true? Couldn't wait a second longer. Needed to see what your bastard looked like and see? Just like his father ... a mismatched freak of fucking nature. Shall we do what your cowardly parents didn't have the guts for? Shall we, Qhuinny boy? Huh huh?

*Lash offers me the dagger, laughing before he reneges, whipping it back and pointing at my son*

Oh wait. Can I have the honors? You know, tit for fucking tat? I heard the blade just sliiiiidddeeesss in nicely like butter.

*I lunge forward but stop quickly. Lash nicks my son's skin, blood starting to drip. The crying intensifies. I need to be smart. I need to keep my word and protect my young*

Give. Me. My. Son. NOW.

*Lash shakes his head and slices my son again.

No? Be a pal, Q. I really really wanna see. Curiosity and all. *Lash pauses and I can't wait any longer. I throw myself forward*

Paybacks a bitch, you fucked up piece of shit. Time to send the bastard to its whore mother!

*I scream as I reach Lash too late.*

John Matthew Ghardian 

*Walking in to the training center, planning on getting a good work out, as I open the door.... What the fuck? *hearing the sounds of screaming and thrashing around. I see Qhuinn, on the weight bench. Getting to him a two long strides I shake his shoulder and give a soft whistle. His eyes fly open and he looks at me with such terror on his face.* ~asl~ Qhuinn, you okay man?

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*I don't make it in time. My son, he kills my son and I couldn't stop him. I can protect John and Blay. The Brothers. The King. But not my precious child. I've failed.

I scream. Scream beyond breath. Scream beyond my rage and grief. I start shaking and ...

My eyes fly open and I'm staring into John's. Concern covers his features*

Qhuinn, you okay man?

*My heart is pounding. Was it a dream or reality. There's no blood. No sign of Lash. Nothing. Just me alone in the training room. Now with John*

F..u..ck...

*My voice is raspy. John watches me but I don't have words for him yet. No way of telling him.*

I need a drink. Or ten. Or twenty, feel me?

*He nods, and helps me up*

And we need to go see Layla. Now.

*He nods again, understanding. That's why I love this male. He's my best friend and he fucking gets it. Together we leave the room.

But my fear comes with me* ~

XOXO!

Qhuinn and Tohrment find a LITTLE surprise ~ Story Line

Dear Challa's,

Until July 10th, we're doing something special and sharing some of our favorite Story Lines of the year that previously didn't make it onto the blog.

In this one, Qhuinn and Tohrment run into a Bastard feeding.... amongst other things.

Google, google, google, my friends.

Qhuinn Ghardian

*It's been a surprisingly uneventful night. Patrolling with Tohrment on the east side of Caldwell, I'm just hoping the other Brothers are having more success. The streets are quiet, too quiet, and I feel like my daggers are burning a hole in my leathers - itching to plunge into the chest of a lesser. Or two. Or five. It's all good* Damn, is it just me or does it feel like we're in the wrong place? *My eye keeps scanning the area and all I see is stores closed up for the night. The heavy beat of base hits me as we turn the corner and I see a nightclub up ahead. People are trickling in and out but no tell tale whiff of sickly sweet powder. Passing the club's alleyway, movement catches my eye. Something way in the back. I pause for a moment, checking for danger but nothing. That is until I hear a muffled groan* Yo, wait up Tohr. I think we have something.

Tohrment Ghardian 

*I turn around and step closer to Qhuinn, listening carefully for whatever he's heard down the alleyway. Damn, there's something down there but for a moment I hear nothing to give me a clue. I nod at Qhuinn for us to take a few cautious steps when I finally hear the sound. I almost snort too loudly as I put a hand up.* Dude, you think you'd know moans of pleasure when you hear them, true? *You flip me off and I realize that's a fucking sort spot right now. I wave us forward to make sure it's nothing we can't handle--Fucking A, what is this? Looks like someone is feeding out in the open.*

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*I flip Tohr off, hoping like hell I don't show how close to home his comment hit. The nearer we get, the more I can hear it's someone fucking in the alleyway and not being hurt. Being celibate is kicking my ass but until I get who I want, my dick stays in my leathers. Letting Tohr take the lead, I hear another more familiar sound - a sucking kind of slurp and I gesture for Tohr to stop* Tell me that's not someone feeding. Fuck, it may be dark but what kind of fool would take such a risk?

Zypher Ghardian 

*As I grind deeper into the female and take my fill of her blood. I run my hands up and down her firm ass. This female feels so good soft and supple. I could fuck her all night without stopping. She is moaning with every movement I make inside her. I have her up against the wall as I push deeper and deeper in her. The whole time taking from her vein in her neck. I feel her shudder as she begins to orgasm..*

Tohrment Ghardian 

*I cock an eyebrow at Qhuinn as we move closer. It's a big fucking risk to feed in the open so it's either someone really drunk, high, or stupid. I can already tell it's a human being fed and that alone is dangerous. What if it goes too far? There'll be hell to pay from the civies and the vamps. I decide to do what I can to put a stop to it.* Hey, asshole! Get a room! *Sweet Scribe Virgin, I know this asshole.*

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*We finally find the source of the noise - a couple fucking up against the side of the building, the guys head buried into the crook of the females neck. There's no mistaking her pleasure as her head tosses back and forth and the male keeps slamming into her. His momentum falters when Tohr yells and his features flash in the dim light of the alley. Fuck, it's a Bastard* Well well, Tohr. Looks like this bastard isn't the only one about to get lucky, true. *I take a step closer, ready to rip him away from his meal and save her. Her moans sound like soft whimpers now and who knows how much blood she's lost. I shove at the male hard, causing him to stagger back. I take in his disheveled appearance and laugh* Fuck, I almost feel bad for the ass kicking you're about to get. Put that damn thing away before I start to take pity on you. *I look to the glassy eyed female and shake my head* She must like it small, true?

Zypher Ghardian 

*As I stagger back I look up at the fucker who pushed me and interrupted my business. Well well if it it's not two of those cock sucking brothers *Rolls my eyes at the mention of my cock. I look down at mine cock and stuff it back in my leathers it strains against and I can barely get it back in.* Oh tell me mine ears did not hear this brother say my cock was small. *looks around and shakes head* Yes the light is not very good here, it is so dark. *GROWLS * Mine cock is not small. *chuckles and grins wickedly* I could fuck the whole entire female population and they would come back for more.

Tohrment Ghardian 

*I step a bit closer and help the female to sit down against the building because it's obvious the Bastard isn't going to do it.* Yeah, yeah, whatever. Zip up the fucking barn door, Bastard. *I stand back up and face the fucker as he straightens himself.* Having trouble there? Maybe Xcor could find you a cock you can actually see next time he's out instead of taking spines. *He flips me off and I just shrug. *Hey, asshole, what's the deal? Why are you fucking human females in an alley? Can't get any of our kind to look your way, is that it?

Zypher Ghardian 

*Chuckling at the audacity of this brother. They are all so fucking full of themselves." Tsk-tsk fucker I prefer the service of humans. They are are not so uptight as our kind or as the mayhaps the Chosen. The fucking brother that has the look like he hasn't gotten a piece of ass in what looks like a lifetime cocks his head at me as I mention the Chosen. * thinking to mineself I touched a nerve. *grinning*

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*I don't bother hiding my disgust at the Bastard. They are everything that's wrong with the Race, believing they act in the name in honor but their actions prove otherwise. Fuckers just need to get their asses handed to them and sent packing* Never. Ever. Speak of the Chosen with that dirty mouth of yours, feel me? *I take a step forward, my fists clenched tightly* You would never be worthy to stand in the same room as them. *I point at the slumped female* You can't even treat human females with respect. Fucking asswipe.

Tohrment Ghardian 

*I put an arm out to hold Qhuinn back because shit's getting real serious real fast. Much as I agree with him and I'd like to smash the fucker's face, we just can't start this shit, at least until Wrathh gives us the go ahead.* You wouldn't know how to treat the Chosen, Bastard. You're not fit to be in the same room with any of them, feel me? *I take a step closer to his face and lean in, careful to keep Qhuinn from letting loose on his ass.* You need to leave the humans and the Chosen alone, hear me? Or you'll wish you'd kept that small dick of yours inside your pants because the Brotherhood will give it back to you in even smaller pieces. *I put my free arm up against the building so I'm all in his face.* And that's not a threat. That's a fucking promise.

Zypher Ghardian 

*Laughing* and they call me arrogant. This arrogant cocksucker needs to get the fuck out of my face before I slash him from one end to the other. *slowly pulls dagger out and tosses it back and forth and I do not need anyone's permission to slice and dice. *grinning and thinking 'tis be my pleasure to serve this one up on a silver platter for Xcor . Speaking of mine leahdrye I look at the brothers * Do you know the Chosen that serviced mine leahdrye do you think she could service me. *grinning I grab my now hard cock and laugh*

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*I see red, the Bastard's words echoing in my head. He dares to talk about Layla, the mother of my child as though she's a common whore. I lunge forward, breaking out away from Tohr's grasp and swing a hard punch. It connects solidly with the asshole's jaw. He staggers, his dagger dropping and he continues to laugh* You. Are. Vile. Do you fucking hear me? I will fucking gut you where you stand! *I kick out, stomping into his gut and he doubles over, the sound of his ragged laughter fueling my anger* Don't. You. Ever. Think. Of. Her! *I accent each word with another punch, jab, and hit. I feel Tohr grab me, trying to restrain me but all I can focus on is the Bastard. He straightens and looks at me, blood dripping from his temple and corner of his mouth.* You. Are. Scum!

Zypher Ghardian 

*laughing at this fucker as I straighten up and wipe the blood from my mouth on my sleeve. pulling another dagger out and seriously consider playing a little slice and dice with this cocksucker. thinking Xcor could use another spine. grinning I hear my leahdyre and mine brothers approaching speak of the devil himself I put the dagger back and look at the two fucking assholes.* Next time fucker and maybe Ill have a little taste of that chosen you seem to have a fondness for 'tis be my pleasure . * as the rage show in his eyes at the mere mention of her I demat to meet up with mine brothers my laughter echoing in the distance.*

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*I lunge again, this time with dagger in my hand. I roar with fury only to find empty space. I twirl around, ready to strike, but the Bastard has dematted* Come back you fucking coward. *I spit on the ground, the anger bitter in my mouth and my breathing ragged. I feel a hand on my shoulder - Tohr and I struggle to hear the common sense he calmly says. He's right. Now is not the time and place. We need to get the human female to somewhere safe. I drag cold air deep into my lungs, and will myself to regain control. Slowly, my heart quits pounding and I sheathe my weapons.* Thanks, Tohr. *He nods and walks over to the female, lifting her into his arms. Her head slumps, showing she's not awake and I thank the Scribe Virgin we were here. Females - all females need to be protected from the assholes who prey on them. Thinking of Layla, I need to get home and see to her.* Let's get her to the Safe Place and go home, true? *Following Tohr, we discretely leave the alley way* ~

Qhuinn and John Matthew talk about their relationship ~ Story Line

Challa's,

Monday:
Usually the most hated day of the week.  Why is it so hated?  Everyone has to get back in their work routine, which means rising early and more than likely rising your Young up for school.

It doesn't mean that Monday should be hated.

Here's a little cure for your Monday blues from your neighborhood Nursey.  *winks*

Qhuinn Ghardian

*Receiving John's text that he's here working out, I jog down to the Training Center to meet him. With what I have on my mind, it might be better for us to talk will we lift. Something tells me this conversation may get a little serious, and we'll need a good diversion. Entering the weight room, I see him sitting on a bench, wiping the sweat from his face. I whistle for his attention* Hey, Bro. Mind if I join you?

John Matthew Ghardian 

*Taking a breather after my hour run on the treadmill, I tip the bottle of water and chug it down. Shit, that felt good. Wiping my face and chest off, I hear a whistle and look up.* ~asl~ What's doing, Qhuinn? You up for some free weights or do you need a warm up? * Noticing he looks a little stressed as he takes a seat next to me and picks up one of the weights.* What's up? You look like you got something on your mind. Is Layla and the young okay?

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*I take a seat beside you, bending to lift one of the weight balls* Layla and the young are doing okay. Layla doesn't care much for the bed rest restriction Doc Jane put her on but after everything we went through, she knows it's for the best. *I curl my arm, the pull on my muscle warming. I stare down at the motion as I continue to repeat each lift. Shifting so I can work my other arm, I notice you're still waiting and I grin* You know me too well, true. *When you nod, I place the weight ball back on the ground* There is something I wanted to talk with you. Things I want to say. Need to say. *I stop, trying to find the words. I can feel the lump in my throat. Fuck, this is why I avoid emotions and shit.* It's about being your Ahstrux Nohtrum. Or not being it.

John Matthew Ghardian 

*As he lefts the weight in a controlled manner and switches arms I continue to sit and wait. I know my best friend and I know not to push him. He will tell me when he's ready. Relieved by the fact that Layla and his young are doing okay I wait for him to tell me what's really on his mind. I lean over and grab a heavier set of weights when he finally begins to speak again. Looking over at him as I hear a slight catch in his voice. Placing my hand around his neck and squeezing it a few times before either of us says any more.* ~asl~ Well, I knew this day was coming and I...uh...I...know that it's time to talk about it.

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*Fuck, why is it so hard to just say what I'm feeling. I nod, feeling your hand squeezing the back of my neck. It helps ground me, remind me that I'm not talking to some stranger. I'm talking to my best friend. Someone who I consider my brother* You did? Because I didn't. There was no way I thought I'd ever become a Brother. Shit, I was just grateful they took me in and let me be your AN. To be accepted into the Brotherhood ... *I can't speak, the lump in my throat stopping me. I shake my head trying to dislodge it, picking up the hand weight.* You know how I feel, true. It was a surprise. I didn't expect to be released. And I don't know how I feel about it.

John Matthew Ghardian 

*Watching him struggle to say how he feels pulls at me deep inside. * ~asl~ Wrathh told me recently that you ween't going to be my AN anymore, but didn't fill me in on the rest of his plans. * Watching as he lifts the weight without paying attention to what he's doing, just a mindless up and down with the arm. I place my hand on his arm and stop the movement. He stops and looks at me and as I look into his mismatched eyes I can see the proud, strong warrior that I've always seen.* ~asl~ I always knew you were brother material. Through your heart, your actions your loyalty and ...your love. *Not looking away as I feel my eyes burning.* I am so proud of you Qhuinn....so damn proud.

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*Tears prickle and I try pushing them down. Damn this is hard but I need to say it* Your opinion means a lot to me, John. Always has and always will. You've been my side from the beginning, always fucking believing in me even when I was being an ass. It was never a duty for me, you know. Being your AN. It was an honor. Something I wanted to do and planned on doing for the rest of life. It was never a lie ... my life for yours. And being released, that doesn't change it. I still hold true to that. I will always have your back. I will always defend you. I will always want you safe. *I clench my jaw, reining in my thoughts. I see you nodding.* This shit with Blay, if there's one thing its taught me its to speak up. To not wait to say the things that matter. It took me forever to tell him how I feel. I don't want to make that same mistake again, feel me. *I drop the weight and look at you* I may not be your AN now, but it doesn't change the fact I love you. Minus the babysitter, nothing changes.

John Matthew Ghardian 

*No fucking way can I look away as the tears threaten to overflow as I listen. Listen and just nod. Listen to the words that I have always felt and have always known.* ~asl~ No nothing changes! You are and have always been my family and always will. I've never needed a title to know that. * Turning to face him* I know that I didn't make your job easy for you. * You shrug like it was nothing* No, me taking off without you sometimes and putting you in a terrible position. I never meant any disrespect to you or your life. I never wanted you to put your life on the life for me. The things you have done for me *clearing my throat as my throat constricts* I can never express to you how much your putting yourself on the line for me has always meant. You have put your life on the line for everyone in this family. If it hadn't been for you.......Fuck! I don't even want to think of what would have happened to Wrathh or Zszadist! You are a brother through and through and I mean that in so many ways. Your right though, this changes nothing. I love you, just like I always have!

Qhuinn Ghardian 

*I pull you into an embrace, slapping you on the back before tightening my arms. You squeeze too and when I pull away, I rest my hand on your shoulder* I didn't think being part of family could be like this. I didn't know I'd find people who accepted me, flaws and all. The least I can do is protect what's mine. *I grin* Mine. I never thought I'd say that and not feel dread. Everything happens for a reason, true. Me and you? We'll be tight forever. I mean it. You need me and I'm there. No questions asked. Ever. *I let go, seeing you're feeling the same as me.* Fuck, look at us. We're a bunch of saps. I meant every word though. No doubt. *I let out a sigh, the knot in my throat finally easing.* I need to go get this tear filled in. V said he's free any time I want to stop by. Can you come with?

John Matthew Ghardian 

*Taking the slap on the back without wincing* ~asl~ I know you will always be there. I won't let it be any other way! Same goes for me bro. I know you know that! *Takes a step back and making an attempt to lighten the conversation as I wave my hand up and down in front of you. Letting out a long shrill whistle* ~asl~ Just look at you now. A brother, and me just a little ole trainee. * Grinning up at you* Does this mean I need to open "your" doors now? * We both laugh as he calls me a fucker.* Really bro. So fucking proud! Hell yeah I am coming with you. I was there when the put the first one on and I will be for this one too.

Qhuinn Ghardian 

Good because I want you there. We're still a team. *I stand, stretching as I look around the room* And fuck yeah, I want some special treatment, true. Maybe you can wipe my ass next time. Cut my food at First Meal. Make sure there's a mint on my pillow. *I grin as I duck your swing, laughing* Too much? Wanna start with something smaller like polishing my shitkickers and daggers? *You launch yourself at me, knocking me to the ground. pinning me quickly. Signing quickly, you call me a douche and I shove you off* Fine. Just keep being my best friend, true. That's all I need. *Helping you stand, I gesture to the punching bag and you nod. Life can't get any better than this. I have a family. I have Blay. And I have the best fucking friend a male can have.* ~

XOXO!

We will see more of Murhder but it involves Xhex… more when the timing is right

Saxton – Big keep reading!

Rhage and Mary’s novella. JR is about 146 pages in, just has to finish it.

Next Angels book is called Possession and cover was shown

Lassiter will get a book when he’s ready – he opens up a whole story line and she’s not sure whether he’ll feature in BDB or Fallen Angels (she didn’t say both ;) )

Movies? She’s focused on the books but would only happen with someone who could do the books justice.

She doesn’t know how Layla’s pregnancy will go – a KEEP READING

Beth’s pregnancy may be more in line with humans given she’s a half breed

Lash WILL be back she just doesn’t know when – EEP!!

Is there a connection between Michael (Story of Son) and Murhder – answer “Duh!” but doesn’t know if it will be “seen” in a book.

Sola isn’t related to Manny and Butch

How will it work with Qhuinn and Blay, Layla, Xcor and the baby – KEEEEEP REEEADING!!

Did the SV create the Shadows – they are a subspecies that developed

Assail – Warden thinks he’s awesome, she’s obsessed with him and his cousins are totally effin HOT!!

There is a nexus with the Fallen Angels battle for good and the development of the BDB plotline – she thinks it could go either way but a crossover is logical

There wasn’t anything else (or anyone else) in the barrels with Luchas

Qhuinn and Luchas return to their parent’s house, Qhuinn sees Luchas as a victim and we’ll see more of Luchas

Will we find out more about the glymera female who had an orgy with the Bastards – yes!

Why didn’t we get Ehric’s twin’s name – because she writes what she sees and doesn’t know it yet

Are Sissy and Jim going to fall in love – KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP REEEEEEEEEADING!!

Will Nalla have a book so we can see lose his shit? She doesn’t know

Will Xcor turn on the Bastards for Layla – KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP REEEEEEEEEEEADING!!!

Will we find out about Butch and Manny’s father and if there are more kids – KEEEEEEEEEEEEEP REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEADING!!

Layla is considered Fallen (Chosen, not angel ;) )

Will Butch be in another book? Yes, and we’ll see some closure for him and José

Are they going to expand the rules for brotherhood inductions? Yes and Blay, Payne and Xhex could be inducted in future

Were there a lot of edits for the Blay and Qhuinn sex scenes? – There was nothing edited out.

Payne can help heal the Brothers of injuries etc but he doesn’t know if Payne’s gift is with limits or has to be replenished but she WILL keep George alive (as in longer than reg dogs ;) )

No definite plans for a second Insiders’ Guide buuuuuuuut maybe in the future

Will the SV be in The King? She doesn’t know but something will need to be done with her.

Wrath still owes the SV that favor…

There WILL be more about Jane and V – she’s also talking to her publisher about revisiting each couple in full book form. (Personal Modly Woohoo here lol)

Do we know who Elan was talking to? Yes

SAXTON’S FATHER!!!!!

Back cover and new teaser of Lover At Last!

Hello fans!

We believe everybody has seen the latest news from Ward. And we couldn't let it pass. So, here to all of you, the BACK COVER or Lover At Last!

Qhuinn, son of no one, is used to being on his own. Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has finally found an identity as one of the most b

rutal fighters in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. Even as the prospect of having a family of his own seems to be within reach, he is empty on the inside, his heart given to another....

Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it’s about time: The male has found his perfect match in a Chosen female, and they are going to have a young- just as Qhuinn has always wanted for himself. It’s hard to see the new couple together, but building your life around a pipe dream is just a heartbreak waiting to happen. As he’s learned firsthand.

Fate seems to have taken these vampire soldiers in different directions... but as the battle over the race’s throne intensifies, and new players on the scene in Caldwell create mortal danger for the Brotherhood, Qhuinn finally learns the true definition of courage, and two hearts who are meant to be together... finally become one.

Isn't beautiful??

And as always, Warden loves to tease us, and she posted another quote from Lover at Last. Check it out!


Qhuinn followed, bringing up the rear in case anyone decided to pull a hi-how’re-ya-

From out of thin air, Blay appeared, the male suited up in leather, and as heavily armed as the rest of them. Qhuinn’s feet slowed, then stopped in the snow, mostly because he didn’t want to trip and fall like an a**hole.

God, that was one grim motherf**ker, he thought as Blay started walking forward. Was ther

e some trouble in paradise?

Even though there was no eye contact, Qhuinn felt compelled to say something. “What’s…”

He didn’t finish the “doing” part of the sentence. Why bother? The guy just stalked past him like he wasn’t there.

“I’m great,” Qhuinn muttered under his breath as he resumed trudging through the snow. “Doin’ awesome, thanks for asking- oh, you having probs with Saxton? Really? How’d you like to go out and get a drink and talk about it? Yeah? Perfect. I’ll be your after dinner mint-”

Ahhhhh!!!! Biting nails until March!!!

Counting the days!! We still have 152 days remaining!!!

Keep following us!

Love,

Story Line - Z, Xhex and Blay... and things get out of control!

Song: Fire Falling From the Sky



Blaylock Ghardian
*Demating to an alley near the Iron Mask, I look at Z that just appears by my side. We notice Xhex leaning against a wall, waiting for us in the dark. While we walk toward her I turn my head to Z grinning* We three together again, huh? No flood today, please! I don't want Wrath kicking my ass again!

Warden teasing the fans!

Hello fans!


And Lover At Last Teasing Season began!! =D

Still missing 8 months for the release of Love At Last, yesterday 07/18,  Warden posted on her Facebook page a phrase to let our imagination go wild!

Mmmmmmmm!!! What the hell he loses??

We would love to know what you have in mind!! Leave your comment!

Kisses!

Lover At Last - Warden talking about the cover!

Hey guys! How you doing?

Everyone is very excited with the new book of the Brotherhood, the long-awaited book of Blay & Qhuinn. After Warden released a prototype of the cover, all fans do is talk about it. And would not be Warden, if not cause some controversy. Some liked the cover, others felt the lack of Blay, and also people are commenting a lot about the lack of tear, the hallmark of our dear Ashtrux Nohtrum.

Asked about why Blay is not on the book cover, Warden said this: 

 "Rehvenge's book only had him- same with Tohr's book- Blay and Qhuinn are being treated no differently because they are same sex- and I kind of feel that "chickening out" would have been a case of my publishers not allowing me to write about them in the first place :D"
"I do think it's going to be important for people to realize the story's going to be written as it comes (came) to me, and that they're not getting special treatment either for or against them because of their sexuality- to me, this story has always been about Qhuinn coming around and accepting who he really is and who he really loves- so the title and the cover was always about him in my mind. This is not to dimish Blay or his journey or his role- not at all. And it is not a case of the book focusing solely on Qhuinn and ignoring Blay's feelings (because he's going to have some big issues to deal with, too.) I just think Qhuinn's the one who's fought against their HEA and is the one who has to travel the most to get there. If that makes any sense?"


Make sense to you? :D

Some things are missing in this Qhuinn. And for that, she responded to someone who had raised this issue as well:

"As I said, there are only so many details we can add before we crowded the model's face (and neck) so I went with the eyes because the cover read as a whole better that way even though it's not 100% representative :D"
"Again, we did the best we could- there're only so many elements we can add to the model's face without it looking so busy you get distracted"

Well guys, all we know is that Lover At Last is the subject of the year and of course, we are gonna talk a lot about this around here!

Keep following our news!

Love you!
XOXO
