Edward Monster - Shifter Heat

By Tabatha Austin

Genre: Paranormal Romance / Stand Alone Supernatural 

As the ‘ugly’ one in the family, Mary has always felt a little insecure, an issue that was only enforced when she went away to college and everyone there kept staring at her. The men, boys really, at her school were an unattractive lot with not a single vampire, werewolf or real monster among them!

Thankfully, Mary is going home where the house is dark, the shelves are dusty and the people normal. Though her Aunt and Uncle have returned to the Old Country, her non-blood related cousin, Little Edward Monster, is still roaming the house…. Except Edward isn’t so little anymore. The silver fanged man has fully grown into his Monster blood and the tempting package may prove too much for Mary to resist.

Note: This is a stand alone 9000+ word love story.

EDWARD MONSTER - SHIFTER HEAT

I stared at the awful bright yellow sunlight from the back of the cab. At the end of the lane was the second story Gothic style house where I grew up.

It’s been four years. Time to return to your roots, Mary.

As we drove closer, I smiled at the familiar reassuring black-grey rain clouds over our house.

I never knew why we were the only ones lucky enough to get the rain clouds. I suspected it was one of Grandpa’s experiments. Our poor neighbors had to do with constant sunshine.

We never did at our house.

Was it ever my house?

My aunt and uncle were always very nice to me but I was never sure. Even if I was the ugly one in our family, they never mistreated me.

I breathed in deep as my heart quickened. Werewolf hair and fangs – hard to find a man like that.

Unlike the members of my family, I wasn’t lucky enough to be born with the vampire or werewolf gene. I didn’t get the Black Lagoon fins, have a scientist put me together, or anything normal.

Still, my folks were always nice enough even if I was the oddball. I could never thank them enough for that.

Yes, quite sure.

I stared at the second story window of my aunt and uncle’s former bedroom. It
