She wanted to scream at him that he was crazy, but somehow she knew with absolute certainly that he spoke the truth. It was the same strange compulsion that had indicated to her right from the start that she was not only drawn to him but completely and helplessly attached to him. She didn’t believe him, she just knew.“OK,” She said calmly. “So how do we cure you?”“Cure? There is no cure. I was born werewolf and that’s how I’m going to remain forever.”“But does that mean that we can’t be together?” She lifted up her arms. “What does it mean for us?” Her pale skin now, was even more so, and her rose tinted cheeks had faded.“Emily I’m a monster. When I change, I kill. I desire flesh and blood and can only think of that. I don’t want you to see me in wolf form, ever. I don’t know what I would do to you and for that I’m afraid,” he said. His eyes were filled with wild pain. Emily slid herself from the tree trunk and sat down next to him. She moved her hand towards his face and began to trace her fingers over his skin. It was really warm. She moved her fingers through his beautiful dark curls. “You’re so beautiful,” she whispered. “I can’t see my life without you, Jared. There must be something we can do.”

Jared has finally come to the end of his quest, and Emily has secretly moved to help him. It won’t be easy. He’ll face the Mystic Guard and more at Undercroft. If that isn’t enough, he’s also going to have to deal with Argo and the Death Stalkers. Can the two really succeed? Can they get the serum, survive the danger, and get a chance to really try to love each other? The stunning conclusion to EMILY AND THE WOLF will leave you breathless.THE SERUM is the final 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.

There were no people around, but there were small houses. The houses had alleyways and street lamps and even porches or small yards. Suddenly a wolf appeared from within one of the alleyways; he roared loudly and began to approach.“Must be the mystic guard!” shouted Emily.“I don’t think so,” said Jared.Jared changed form and dropped down to the ground as he shifted. He lunged for the wolf and they began to fight. From another alleyway a smaller wolf appeared and then another. Emily stood glued to the spot, she was afraid. The wolves were attacking Jared and it all became a big blur. Emily still did not move, she was transfixed. One of the wolves turned and leapt straight at her, she could feel her blood boiling inside and she shifted. Her mind was overtaken by thoughts of murder, and she realized that she now wanted to kill these wolves that were trying to kill Jared. The moment she shifted, though, the two of them were alone again, as the wolves suddenly disappeared.They knew now that they would stay in wolf form, just to be on the safe side. They walked the streets of the Undercroft and came to a large opening held up by marble pillars. Inside was a throne and behind the throne, a glass case with an exhibit inside. The exhibit looked very much like their goal, the serum. They both took human form and moved in towards the throne, grabbing wall hangings to cover their nakedness as well as they could.

Jared finally gets clear direction on the next step of his quest, and he’s ready to do whatever it takes to find the serum and give Emily the normal life she deserves. The only problem—Emily wants a life with Jared, and she doesn’t need it to be normal for her to want it! Why does Jared insist on following the quest that guarantees they can’t be together? Why is he so intent on thinking of himself and any werewolf as a monster? Why can’t she get the images of that girl, Ruby, out of her head long enough to think straight about him? And why, for the love of God, can’t things get just a little less complicated for even one night?EMILY’S CONFLICT is the ninth 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, EMILY’S PATIENT, and EMILY’S BOYFRIEND. It’s volume four of book two, EMILY’S BATTLES. Can an average teen girl help a young werewolf gain control of the demon within him?

She felt sick and her heart started thumping. She had the heartbreak emotions seeping through her veins, it was anger topped with hurt, topped with visions of Ruby.“Where are you going?” said Jared.Finlay was now standing beside the car, looking at Jared and Emily.“I’m going out with my friend Finlay,” She said.“I just wanted to …. I want to explain ….,”“You really don’t need to bother,” She said. They stood staring at each other in complete silence.“Do you want me to come back in ten minutes?” asked Fin. “That would be good,” said Emily.Fin got in the car and it rolled away from the hotel.“I just...Ruby is not…” Jared mumbled.“The truth is Jared, you are completely unable to speak to me and you can’t even—”Her words disappeared because Jared had grabbed her face in his hands and was kissing her hard. She wanted to pull away but could not. Instead, she kissed him back. Her body felt alive and she wanted more and more. She put her hands around his back and held him tight. He held her face firmly and was desperate for her. Their lips were connected, connecting the emotion that had been longing to reveal itself. Eventually he pulled back a little, kissing first her top lip and then the bottom. He kissed her forehead.“That’s what I was trying to say,” he said.

Things seem to be on track finally for Emily and Jared. Sure, he has the very critical and dangerous part of his quest right ahead, but she knows he loves her, even if his sense of honor and fear for her safety is piling on top of the pain of his last relationship and keeping him from her. At least they’re enjoying each other’s company. But on the other hand…why did a simple comment about money make him so angry? Before she can really think about it, the two of them find themselves in a mall engulfed in flames! Of course, Jared gets all heroic again, and she finds herself alone outside of the building while Jared rushes back and forth to help people. Can she really have a relationship with a boy who gets angry at the slightest provocation? Can she really see herself with a boy who risks his life at every turn? Maybe she needs someone more…normal. Things are about to get crazy because that potential someone, Finlay, catches up with her just a few minutes later.BURNING is the thirteenth 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.

They were also cramming themselves in the stairwell, to get out of the building. Smoke could be seen moving its way in their direction. Jared grabbed a pair of his new socks from one of the shopping bags. He thrust the bags into Emily’s hands.“Take these and stay here,” he shouted.“But …. “ “Just do it Emily. Do not move,” he roared.He ran to the toilets that were located behind them. He rushed to the sinks and ran one of the taps. He placed the socks under the tap and squeezed out the excess water. He ran back to Emily.“Take this and cover your nose and mouth, as we go down the stairs. If we get split up, do not under any circumstances take the lift and get out of this building as soon as possible.“Jared, what’s going on?” she said.“The building is on fire. We have to get out as soon as possible,” he said.He grabbed her hand and they moved towards the crowd together. People were full of panic. They were shouting and trying to pile into the lifts. Jared could see everyone moving towards the lifts and knew instinctively that they would all be in danger. He started to move towards them.“Where are you going?” shouted Emily.“I have to stop those people from entering the lifts,” he replied. “Keep going Emily!”“Jared! Jared!” she shouted.Too late; he had been sucked into the chaos.
