Kendrick blinked. She squeezed his cheeks together, squishing his face. "You keep forgetting you're not alone anymore. You even have a very dedicated minion who would eat glass if you asked it of him." She jerked her hands to the left. "Stop trying"--she jerked to the right--"to do everything"--she held him in place and looked him in the eye--"by yourself." She released his face.
Kendrick rubbed his cheeks. "All of these years looking after Keelan, I thought I was my brother's keeper. But you're the one taking such good care of the both of us. You're our keeper."
Anne laughed. "Arrogant jerk." She pointed to the sky. "Keelan is the one taking care of us. He is his brother's keeper, and it sounds like he always has been."
Kendrick smiled, and Anne noticed there was a light in him that hadn't been there before. Now that he knew his brother was safe, she knew there was nothing in this world that would prevent him from bringing Keelan home, no matter how long it took. And she would be right there beside him, supporting him every second.
EPILOGUE
Everyone was practically high on the good news that Keelan's soul had been found, no matter how impossible it seemed at the moment to bring him home. Elizabeth felt like she had aged centuries in the past week. So many things had been revealed, it was as if their world was a darker place now.
"What is wrong my love?" Gavriel asked, taking the seat beside her.
She leaned against him. "We don't know who to trust. I feel like our world will never be safe again. It's as if our family's happiness slips away more and more each day."
Gavriel raised an eyebrow and pointed to Meryn who was leaning precariously out the open window yelling at Keelan to shock Sascha again while a frantic Aiden tried to pull her inside. "You were saying?"
Elizabeth began to laugh despite her morose mood. "Thank the Gods for that tiny human. I don't know what this house would be like without her."
"You chose your sister well." Gavriel nuzzled her neck, causing her to sigh as electricity ran through her body.
She was about to invite him upstairs when her phone rang. She pulled it out and smiled. "Uncle! How are things in the city of the night?" She answered cheerfully. Her uncle always made her feel better.
"Elizabeth Monroe, I am demanding your presence immediately and bring along that runt human friend of yours," her uncle ordered.
"Of course, Uncle, anything you say. I understand completely." She ended the call and looked around.
Everyone had stopped what they were doing when Gavriel began hissing at her phone.
Her mate stood, eyes blazing red. "Who does he think he is to make such demands?"
Elizabeth tapped her fingers to her lips. "What did he call me, my love?"
Gavriel stopped and turned toward her, his eyes now a deep burgundy. "Elizabeth Monroe."
"Oh shit! What's happening in Dracula Town?" Meryn sat down on the sofa while Aiden closed the window.
Gavriel looked over at Beth, and she smiled at him. "My uncle never even calls me Beth, much less Elizabeth, and he loves Meryn. He would never call her 'that human runt'. Something is dreadfully wrong and he's in a position where he doesn't trust anyone around him to speak openly." She looked at Meryn, grinning mischievously. "Well, you always wanted to see Noctem Falls; you up for a road trip?"

LUST BY JAS T. WARD
Available on all digital platforms and print
Book One of The Shadow-Keepers, MADNESS revealed The Grid to the world.
Ward gives us even more of the wild ride in book two: LUST!
Welcome Back to the Grid
McKenzie Miller is a tough, hardcore woman who had learned to shut anything out that could hurt since her parents were killed in a murder, suicide when she was a child. After living on the streets, she landed in a tolerable place in her life but happiness and love doesn't even come close to reaching her--because she refuses to let it.
There are greater powers always aware of Kenzie's existence and had been there all along with whispers in her mind and at times, rescues from more tragedy being thrown into her world. Kenzie made sure no one knew that she most likely had lost her mind, why add any more negative labels than she already had? But Kenzie's not going crazy, not even close. Lust takes care of its own. But other dark powers want to play and Kenzie's dull, loveless life is about to end ... literally.
Lana Penchez just wanted to dance. It's all she wanted to do for as long as she was able to walk. That want translated into an obsession with her parents and Lana strived to make them proud with each step she ever took in her ballet slippers. Sadly, they were taken away from the aspiring ballerina but their ambition to have their daughter reach a dream they demanded she have still drives the young woman. Love? Relationships? Who had the time?
All that changed one night when she's attacked and thrust into the secret war that is being fought right in front of mankind's eyes--hidden behind tattooed stamps of undercover soldiers, bad-asses and immortals. The me
mories of the events of that attack are all a blur to Lana, except for one very clear detail that seems to be branded on her mind--a beautiful, strong, lavender-eyed woman who saved her.
And then just disappeared.
Can love cut short in life still find its way in death?
Can someone learn to live despite being no longer alive?
And can a heartbeat be found, even when the heart lies still?
