Newly Bred With Magic

By Victoria (January) Valentine

This 10,000+ word short story contains graphic sexual content.

Mary is longing for another chance at motherhood. Jonah can give his beautiful wife anything money can buy, except the thing she wants most. Will this weekend be magical?

Following tragedy, Mary and Jonah take a romantic weekend getaway to revitalize their shell-shocked hormones. Their interlude is interrupted by rock music blaring from across the hall. Jonah leaves Mary in their suite to investigate, and pick up a bottle of wine. While Mary settles in, waiting for her husband to return, she hears the door open and close. Feels a familiar touch run up the back of her legs as she leans on the window casing, watching the holiday scene below. When she turns to face the owner of the exploring hands, she's shocked to see dark and unfamiliar eyes staring into hers. And the guitar tattoo on his chest confirms, this is not Jonah.

Whose arms has she fallen into? Whose lips are enjoying every part of her body? During a magical night of love, Mary is spellbound. Reality doesn't exist.

Fleeing the unknown, he dumps his bike and is found unconscious, his body tangled with a naked girl. Jack struggles to regain memory and the use of his legs, while fighting a sudden urge for raw meat and to bay at the moon. Wheel Wolf is a story of unconditional love that lives beyond the grave, and a relentless fight for retribution. An Amazon bestseller in Werewolves/Shifters/Horror/Suspense. Beautiful Experiment: Six unruly teens are abducted on their way to a juvie home. Dumped onto an uncharted island. Could things get any worse? Hell, yeah. Hostility and envy run rampant. Throw in some alphas, divas and demons, and what do you have? Beautiful Experiment. Book One of the Island of Defiance Trilogy. Love Dreams: She's a beautiful wreck who wants nothing to do with me. Beaten and left for dead, she suffers from night terrors. When she keeps running into a gorgeous guy things heat up, but memories of abuse dampen the fire. He's handsome. He's wealthy. He's in a wheelchair. His entire life has changed, and the past months have been hell. But there's a bright spot in Michael's life: a girl named Sienna. Sweet Dreams: A serial killer is on the loose, moving up the East Coast, leaving bodies & notes. Planting roses in his victims. Leonardo Gibraldi, Baltimore's sexy Assistant DA, is tracking the fiend who's responsible for the grisly murder of his ex-girlfriend. Leo's out for revenge -- so is the killer. Between hunting the madman, and fighting off beautiful women, Leo's got his hands full. There's one break in the case: An eye witness who says, "It doesn't look human." Fighting For You Fighting (He's fighting for his future. She's fighting with his past.) Jewelia Delarosa isn't too eager to fight her way through another dead-end relationship. Then her eyes find his. By chance. He's like wine, rich and intoxicating. One sip rocks her world, and suddenly, she's drowning in a guy called Indigo. She doesn't know how to handle her overwhelming emotions. His mood swings. The two women who refuse to let him go. The battle is all uphill. Giving up seems the most sensible thing to do, but once she's tasted his love, given herself to him body and soul, living without him is not an option. Until she realizes, leaving him seems the only protection from heartbreak. About to begin his residency at NYU Medical center, Indigo's plan is to rescue every child who needs him, even if it sucks the life out of him. He doesn't remember what happiness feels like. His mother haunts him. A wannabe girlfriend stalks him. He doesn't need another woman in his life. Then a stunning gaze captures his, and while fighting to resist, he sinks deeper into something he never thought could be his. Love has never been in the cards for Indigo. But a girl named Jewelia is as necessary as the blood coursing through his veins.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

NEWLY BRED WITH MAGIC

How do I know I am really Mary? Who named me? My birth mother, or my foster parents? For as long as I can remember, these questions have haunted me. I walked through life  numb as a robot. But then, does anyone know how a robot feels? What is emotion? What is existence without pleasure or love? Peace or excitement? I can tell you in one word. Empty.

That's how I was, until I met Jonah. He dug deep into my heart, my soul, and uncovered emotions I never knew I was capable of experiencing. My name is Mary. Here is my story. If you should find yourself in a similar situation, don't hesitate to believe in the magic. Yes, magic is real.

Our Hummer stretch tackles the side of the mountain like a charging bull. The engine revs into a running start. The tires bite into packed snow, and the charming village, nestled in the foothills, fades as we climb to the summit of one of the highest slopes in Colorado.
