CHAPTER ONE

The asphalt blurred under Jack’s heel, his knees sent him flying south along the road. The plan had worked and he had Lelani. He always wanted her so badly and this was victory. It almost could have gone worse. The other people had seen him with his backside hanging out the cabin window, Lelani in his arms and about to start running.

The werewolves didn’t care about the vertical surfaces. Jack tried to stay in human form while he held Lelani. She was freezing. He took a header into the bushes; he shifted on his way down. He ran in a flat sprint for his cabin while his legs and heart pumped. Every branch etched against his vision. He knew Lelani’s people would look for her especially her sister Luna. Howling through the woods, he shifted to a wolf again and propelled to the other side using his paws. Paws were good for many things but not carrying Lelani. He had to shift again to human form.

Lelani opened her eyes as Jack put her on the bed. She looked up and saw three men looking at her. She sat on the bed as she tried to cover her nakedness. She was terrified and the alcohol was wearing off. She started remembering how Jack lured her into his trap.

Lelani sat at the elegant marble bar, an un-drunk glass of champagne bubbling in front of her. The reason the champagne was un-drunk was apparent upon further inspection. On the rim of the glass, a tiny silver winged figure sat. His feet were dipping into the champagne. The amber colored wine swished around the glass as he moved his tiny feet back and forth. Lelani pinned the tiny fairy with her angriest glare.

My last date was a disaster, Clint. What made you think that an unwashed werewolf would be a fitting lover for the lioness of history?

Clint gave the lioness an abashed glance. Now Lelani it wasn’t that bad. I mean granted, he smelled a bit… woodsy.

Woodsy?! Lelani sputtered. He smelled like he hadn’t bathed in months. Perhaps I could have overlooked the fragrance. Lelani made a moue of disgust.

Certainly he was handsome enough. If it hadn’t been for…

The tiny fairy held up his hand. I know, I know. I should have checked out his educational background a bit better. That’s completely my fault. She knew that was sarcastic.

He thought I was Cleo, Clint. Not Lelani the Lioness, but Cleopatra Philopator, last pharaoh of Egypt. Cleopatra! Who not only was a mortal, but has been dead for almost two thousand years. The lioness put a hand up to her aching head.

I realize we lionesses aren’t as well known in this millennium as we once were. I understand, truly I do. However, don’t you think, Clint, if you were trying to find me a mate, you might have at least stopped to check and make sure your candidate knew who I was first? When he realized I wasn’t the Egyptian seductress, he got all pouty and barely spoke to me the rest of the night!

Clint blushed. Yes, I probably should have thought that through better. At least he was better than the first guy! The fairy said brightly, trying to put a positive spin on the terrible date.

Lelani gave Clint an exasperated sigh. Oh yes. I will give you that. At least the werewolf didn’t try to enslave me! Why did you try to set me up with a sloth? The tiny fairy flushed, his whole body taking on a pink hue.

Hugh is an old friend of mine. When he heard I was trying to find you a mate, well… he volunteered. I thought you two would hit it off. I sort of forgot…
