What secrets lie beneath the pools of his dark and beautiful eyes?MEETING THE WEREWOLF is the first chapter of the exciting new series EMILY AND THE WOLF from Northern Starlight Young Adult Press. It’s volume one of book one, JARED’S QUEST. Can an average teen girl help a young werewolf gain control of the demon within him? And if he can’t keep his animal under control, how can either of them be safe? And why are there so many strange things happening that make Emily think plenty of people would rather he never got a handle on his condition? Northern Starlight Young Adult Press presents the finest in young adult fiction.Here is a preview:Jared appreciated it, but he wanted something else. He wanted to know why in the world his mind was filled with images of the girl at the restaurant. He’d been warned that one day his mate would fill his thoughts long before he knew her, but he was certain she was no wolf. He would have smelled it. Was it possible he would be linked to a girl not of the breed? It was making his head swim, and he wasn’t ready to talk to his grandfather. It was strange. The prospect of being linked to anyone for a lifetime was scary enough. The thought of being married to another monster was impossible!It wasn’t the first time that Jared cursed his existence and the two forces within him that made his life a constant and unending battle for dominion. It wasn’t the first time he wished someone would end his life with his next transformation, to kill the wolf without ever knowing Jared lived within it. To be linked forever to another wolf… This girl, though, this “Artist Extraordinaire”, this was truly frightening. If he loved her, and she loved him, and she had no power to compete with his…his monster, wouldn’t it end in tragedy and blood? How could he live with her death and the knowledge of his part in her destruction.

With a potential cure in sight, Jared seeks permission from his pack to seek the serum that will free him from the curse of the wolf. It won’t be an easy quest, and he’s certain to face opposition at every turn. It’s worth it to him if it lets him spend his life with Emily, though. What’s he do, however, if Emily becomes a target of his enemies? What good is becoming human if he ends up alone and not only loses Emily but becomes responsible for her destruction?BREAKING FREE is the third chapter of the exciting new series EMILY AND THE WOLF from Northern Starlight Young Adult Press and continues the story of Emily and Jared that began in MEETING THE WEREWOLF and ANCIENT BOOKS.

Northern Starlight Young Adult Press presents the finest in young adult fiction.Here is a preview:She sat at the bottom of the stairs and clicked Buster’s harness in place. She felt sick. A day without Jared was just horrible. She moved out of the door and made her way to the local woodland. Once inside the woods, she released Buster’s lead and let him run free. She watched him running happily through the trees. She took a seat on the bench nearby and waiting for him to return. “Good morning.” Emily looked up. A tall blonde in his early twenties was standing before her. He was cute. “Morning,” she replied.He too had a dog, it was cute and just a puppy. The blonde sat beside her on the bench.“I have a message for you, Emily,” he said.Emily’s whole body stiffened with fear. This was a message she probably didn’t want to hear. “Who are you?” she questioned.“Walk,” he ordered. He grabbed her wrist and pushed her forward. Emily began to walk. She could see Buster in the distance. Her heart was beating fast and the hairs on her neck were standing on end. This man was evil, she could feel it. He pushed her towards a clearing. “You see Emily; we don’t take kindly to the likes of you trying to interfere in our business. Who are you to go delving into secrets that have nothing to do with you?” His floppy blonde hair fell over his face; he pushed it behind his ears and revealed his grey, blue wolf-like eyes. His stare was intense and he seemed agitated.

At this point, the Death Stalkers will do anything to keep Jared from fulfilling his quest and conquering the wolf in himself or in Emily, and if that means a change from threatening their lives to threatening their teen romance, why not? After all, Jared has an old ex girlfriend and she’s still a death stalker. Why not see if they can trick Jared into a compromising position? And while they’re at it, why not make sure Emily walks in at the exact right moment? Can Emily possibly see past the deception, or will the hurt of Jared’s betrayal keep her from seeing anything?EMILY’S TORMENT is the sixth chapter of the exciting new series EMILY AND THE WOLF from Northern Starlight Young Adult Press and continues the story of Emily and Jared that began in the collection of stories JARED’S QUEST.

Northern Starlight Young Adult Press presents the finest in young adult fiction.Here is a preview:“Jared where are you?” she whispered into the mirror. “Where can I find you?” She decided to have a shower, and change into something a little more practical for wolf hunting. She would scour the area looking for him. She would begin at the Arc de Triomphe and work her way down through the popular shopping streets, alongside the river seine and down to the beautiful gardens, finishing at the famous Louvre museum.Within forty minutes Emily was ready to go, as she approached the door she discovered a note that had been left. She picked up the expensive looking envelope and opened it.“Jared is at the Villas Champs Elysee if you wish to see him. Give your name to the doorman and go straight to the Loft Villa. He will be waiting.”Emily knew that this was a trap, but she had no choice. She was desperate to be with Jared, even if it meant she would be risking her life. She had a look at the attached map and determined she could walk there in a little under ten minutes. She set off and got there quickly. The doorman instantly knew who she was and pointed to the lift. She got into the lift and pressed the button to take her to the Loft Villa As she knocked on the door it slowly opened.“Hello, anyone there?” she shouted.No reply. She moved further into the villa. She walked through the vast contemporary lounge. It was spacious and dominated by light. She moved into the hallway and could see the bedroom at the end of it. She cautiously crept towards the bedroom and could hear giggling. As she entered, what she saw made her feel physically sick.“Oh Jared I love you so much,” said Ruby.

Emily brings Jared to the safety of Heran’s house, and while he recovers from his battle with the Death Stalkers, she wanders off to think on their situation. It’s her fault Jared is even on the quest, and the guilt is overwhelming. On the other hand, she’s beginning the think there just might be hope for her relationship with Jared after all. That’s when Ruby shows up. It wasn’t bad enough that the girl slept with Jared. Oh, no! She had to rub it in Emily’s face. Emily heads to her hotel and determines that no matter what else happens she’ll win Jared back. More than that, though…Ruby the werewolf must die!EMILY’S ANGER is the eleventh chapter of the exciting new series EMILY AND THE WOLF from Northern Starlight Young Adult Press and continues the story of Emily and Jared that began in the collections of stories JARED’S QUEST and EMILY’S BATTLES.

Northern Starlight Young Adult Press presents the finest in young adult fiction.Here is a preview:Emily looked down at her new clothes and twisted her fingers through her shorter hair.“Thanks. Ruby, what do you really want?” she asked. Emily liked her new look, but a compliment from this girl seemed strange. She stared at Ruby; she really was exotically stunning, although her amber eyes seemed to be soaked with sadness. She had three rings through her left nostril and two rings in her lower lip. Surprisingly, they added to her beauty. “I want you to stay away from Jared,” she said. “We were supposed to be married you know.”“I can’t do that Ruby,” said Emily. “I love him.”“Well that makes two of us then,” said Ruby. For the first time, her voice was just as sad as it was haunting and Emily stopped walking and turned to look closely at the other girl. The two of them stood staring at each other. “You won’t win, Emily. Take this as a friendly warning,” said Ruby. “Take the train back to London and forget about Jared. He belongs to our pack and we want him to return to us.” Ruby turned and walked away, she did not look back; but Emily had heard something in her voice. It was lack of conviction, even desperation, and if gave Emily hope beyond any she had experienced since the day she’d walked in on the two of them. She let her fear flow from her body. She shook from head to toe and hurried away from the river. She was still feeling better when she got back to the hotel room and found Jared’s note making it clear in no uncertain terms that they would never be together.

What in the world is going on with me? Lots of young women ask themselves that, but few have as many reasons as Emily. She’s still reeling from the sight of Jared’s apparent affair. There are still Death Stalkers at every turn. She still has to deal with the growing transformation within her. Perhaps worst of all, she’s confused by her feelings for the mortal who tried to help her. Now how does that work? He tried to save her from a werewolf but Jared saved him. So which one is she supposed to love? Jared has troubles of his own as well. How can he finish his quest without Emily, and why is his body betraying him at every turn?EMILY’S BOYFRIEND is the eighth chapter of the exciting new series EMILY AND THE WOLF from Northern Starlight Young Adult Press and continues the story of Emily and Jared that began in the collection of stories JARED’S QUEST and with the stories EMILY’S TORMENT and EMILY’S PATIENT.

Northern Starlight Young Adult Press presents the finest in young adult fiction.Here is a preview:Jared shook his head. The man’s condescending speech had been an attempt to regain his masculinity. The three of them stood in silence. Finally, Jared said, “I hope everything works out for you two.” God, it sounded lame, but Jared turned away, his cheeks hot with embarrassment and hoped they were too wrapped up in their situation to pay any more attention to him. The heat in his cheeks grew stronger and Jared paused. Perhaps he’d never been this embarrassed. God, he had to be blushing beet red. He took in a deep breath. His cheeks were on fire, like he had some kind of fever. It didn’t make sense. Sure, he felt a little ashamed, but why was his body reacting this way. His stomach felt strange, and why was the sidewalk undulating like some kind of snake? Why had things suddenly become blurry? Why were things spinning? Why was Heran running toward him? Why was there blackness in the edges of his vision?“Jared! Jared!” That was funny. Heran looked like he was shouting, but the words sounded soft, like he was shouting from two streets away. Ah! The couple was back. They both looked at him strangely, like something was wrong. What were they so worried about. They looked silly. So did Heanarad. Herralann. What was his name again? Heran. Jerad thought Heran looked silly, too. He was shimmering. How was he doing that? Now, he was reaching for Jared with arms that looked like octopus tentacles. No. No. He was disappearing. Why was he disappearing. Wait. Everything was disappearing. Everything was becoming black. Dark. Quiet. Dark…and…

After the horror of her first transformation, she finally has the courage to have a real conversation with Jared, and things seem to be on the mend. In fact, she’s beginning to have some real hope that they may have a future after all. Can she do it? Can she win this werewolf’s heart and help him trust her enough to be with her forever? Can they finish the quest? Will he still want her when she’s fully human? Will he be able to trust himself to keep control and keep her safe? All of these thoughts fill her mind, but she’s got other problems. At the train station, she catches a glimpse of a familiar face, and she’s pretty sure it’s the Death Stalker that’s after them.SAFE TOGETHER is the twelfth chapter of the exciting new series EMILY AND THE WOLF from Northern Starlight Young Adult Press and continues the story of Emily and Jared that began in the collections of stories JARED’S QUEST and EMILY’S BATTLES.

He hugged Emily into him and dragged her into a nearby café. “I want to sit outside,” she said.“Your wish is my command my lady,” he smiled.The café had a large queue that snaked past the bakery counter. The smell of freshly baked pastries filled the air and the sound of the coffee machines buzzed in the background. Emily sniffed in deeply through her nose and her mind became aroused with the burnt aroma from the coffee beans.“Oh I love the smell of fresh coffee,” she said. “I still drink tea though,” she giggled.They eventually got to the front of the queue, their tray was filled with freshly baked pastries and a ceramic pot filled with hot tea. They made their way out onto the pavement, and the sun was warm and comforting.“Seriously Jared. What’s happening between us?” she said.“I don’t know,” he replied.“What is it you are afraid of?” she said.“Buggering up your life, Emily,” he replied. “If we got together, I’m still going to be what I am. I’m still going to be a beast and that will never change. You have your life in front of you, Emily, and you’re going to become a very famous artist.”She smiled.“I will wait for you Jared. I will wait until you realise it’s okay to be in a relationship again. I know that you’re afraid of being hurt,” she said.Jared sipped on his tea and stared into her serious eyes. Some of what she said was true, but all he had on his mind was the serum. He could not possibly think about anything else, until that matter was well and truly closed.

I need to explain what has happened to you,” he said, his voice almost desperate.“I know what has happened to me. I can feel it inside,” she replied.

I feel really good,” she said and smiled.Jared moved over to her. “I am so, so, so sorry Emily.” He took her hands and they moved to face each other.“Jared we can be together now, there is nothing to stop us,” she replied with another bright smile.“Emily, I’m going to take this journey for the serum, but it’s going to be for you. Do you understand?” He said. He moved her red curls away from her white porcelain-like skin. “This is a curse Emily, something I have been trying to contain. This is not something to celebrate.

He knew Ruby was there, he could smell her.“Well, what a great job you did on me this morning,” he said. He tried to make himself sound angry and strong, but he wasn’t sure how successful he was being. “I will not tolerate this kind of behaviour from you, Ruby, or from anyone else. I want you all to stay the hell out of my life.”He was now feeling quite weak. The adrenalin had fused through him earlier, enabling him to fight. Now, he was still feeling the after effects of the drugs Ruby had slipped him. His headache was banging around in his head like a marching band playing at full volume right into his ear. Ruby came out of the bedroom, and she threw him some jogging bottoms and a sweatshirt. “I’m sorry about earlier,” she said. “I miss you Jared. We used to have so much fun and I know you loved me.” He couldn’t tell if she was being sincere or not. He hated that he couldn’t tell.“After what happened, Ruby I—” He stopped talking abruptly. He didn’t have to explain things to her. Ruby had lost that right. Still, why did he feel like he owed her an explanation? He didn’t owe her anything. So why was it so hard to just let it go?Jared did not want to continue, did not want to cover old ground. He wanted to keep those memories at bay. Ruby knelt before him, and he was astounded to see she had tears in her eyes. Her perfume wafted into his nose, memories of what used to be. A single tear travelled down her cheek.“I love you Jared. I still love you,” she whispered.

Emily was about to speak and Jared stopped her.“Don’t say anything Emily, just give me some time to calm down,” he said.Emily grabbed his hand and led him through the train terminal. “I just want to show you something,” she said.They were stood at the foot of a huge bronze statue entitled The Meeting Place. Jared looked up, it seemed never ending it was so tall. The couple had their foreheads and noses touching in a romantic embrace and the female had her hand on the males face. The bronze carving had really brought the emotion to life. Jared stared in admiration.“This is my favourite statue; it’s a couple in love,” she said. “I used to wish that that was me up there.” She pointed to the female in the statue.
