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.

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. It’s the second chapter of the final volume, WOLF FUTURE and follows the events of EMILY’S ANGER. 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?

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.

Lillian listened as discovered how Corbin became a vampire. She also discovered there was another woman before her named Marie. After Corbin had exchanged blood with her, Marie overpowered him and became too dark and evil. But Lillian never found out what happened to her.

Once they were both completely dressed Lillian began to make her way downstairs as the usual fashion to join the club patrons but Corbin stopped her. Lillian looked at him with a puzzled look and he just smiled. “Now my love, tonight is the night when you and I exchange blood. After you drink from me, you will find the urge to feed will become less and less. You really won’t have to feed unless you choose to. My blood is the most powerful and most ancient, and your powers will become even more than you could ever imagine. I have only done this type of exchange once before, and she turned into something dark and evil, her name was Marie. Still to this day no one has laid eyes on her nor have I heard from her, but that is a story for another time. I will warn you now, this will hurt, my blood will make you feel as if you are on fire, but rest assured you will not burn” Corbin pulled Lillian into his embrace. Lillian knew she should be afraid to receive a gift such as this from one so powerful.

Everything is more profound and intense, for Lillian, than before. She is amazed on how well she can hear and see things as a vampire. But not only that, she now has an overwhelming thirst for blood. Why did her first victim have to be a child? Brandon informs Lillian that she must control her thirst or it could lead to her death. Lillian also wonders if she could live with the fact that she is going to be taking a human life away. Later, Brandon takes her to meet the other vampires.

It continues the story of Lillian and Brandon that began with, A BLESSED CURSE. Can a young girl desperate to find her place in world survive a real and new change? Can she actually focus on starting a new life by looking to the past? Can she find love where others find darkness?Here is a preview: Brandon watched as she looked at and touched everything. He knew that she could get lost in an object if she stared at it too long, just as all fledglings can and have done in the past. “Lillian, you can’t get so caught up in all of this stuff. If you stare too long you will get so captivated that you will stare until the sun comes up. I have seen it many times. The only thing that you need to focus on is the hunger that is building inside of you. I can sense it, Lillian look at me.”“Brandon, everything is alive! I can hear the entire world talking to me! I can’t ignore them!”“Lillian you have too. Look at me. Time for you to feed and after you feed we can go back to the club. Just wait until you hear the music!”“What is the smell? It smells like...”“That is blood, my sweet. On nights like this people come out here on every full moon. They think that they summon demons and crap like that. They never do, but they do get us! You and I will feed and then you will meet the others when we go back to the club.”“There are others?”

Brandon can’t believe his eyes. Lillian possesses powers that no other vampire has, no other vampire then Corbin, that is. Brandon knew that once Corbin found out about Lillian, he would want to keep her for himself. But there was no way of hiding it. Corbin was already in his thoughts. He gave Brandon a choice; either to let her go into his care or to be crushed into powder. All Brandon could think about was waking up next to her that morning. And he knew that night they had spent together, in his crypt, would be his last. Does Brandon let Lillian go completely, or does he risk being destroyed forever? MEANT TO BE is the third story in the exciting new series LILLIAN THE VAMPIRE. It continues the story of Lillian and Brandon that began with: A BLESSED CURSE, and A THIRST FOR BLOOD. Can a young girl desperate to find her place in world survive a real and new change? Can she actually focus on starting a new life by looking to the past? Can she find love where others find darkness?Here is a preview: Brandon just looked at her and after a few moments he let her go. He knew she was right and hated the fact that her senses were stronger than his. He knew he had to regain his composure and make sure that she didn’t mess anything up. She had only hunted once before but she followed his instructions to a tee. He watched as Lillian closed her eyes and soon two young runaway females walked out into the open. It was as if they were being called out, and he knew it was Lillian. He had never known of a fledgling that had those strong of powers so quick! This could be a very bad thing in the long run he thought, but only time would tell. He watched as the two young girls were now standing in front of Lillian, and as if she spoke, one of the girls nodded her head and got to her knees. Brandon could not believe what he was seeing! She could sense her prey, locate and draw them out as well as instruct them to do her bidding. This was amazing and frightening at the same time. He knew of only one other immortal who had this power and that was Corbin. Brandon knew that if Corbin found out he may keep her to himself or even destroy her. Lillian slowly turned her head and the way the moonlight kissed her cheek and the way she now stared at him set his mind as ease. Lillian beckoned for him to come to her side and feed upon the young girl that was on her knees.

Carson was laying in a bed with tubes up his nose and things that looked like suction cups stuck to his head and arms. “CARSON!” I screamed. He slowly opened his bloodshot eyes. “Hey, Kelly.” he breathed heavily. “What… What happened Carse?” my eyes were once again clouded with tears. “O.D...” He breathed out in something more like a wheeze than a word. What? He overdosed? “Carson, you were doing drugs?” A small smile curled from his mouth. “Yeah...” he choked out. “But why, Carse?” a hot tear rolled down my cheek. “I thought you hated me. It eased the pain. I was doing it before then, though. Whenever I was with Ella, we were doing drugs. It was horrible. And then, well, I just…I just didn't want you hanging out with those thugs. That's why I flipped when I saw you with that Jace kid.” He wiped under my eyes where my makeup had obviously smeared. “You are so beautiful, Kelly.” I had been so oblivious to everything going on.I thought my life was horrible, but I was making everyone around me hurt.

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.

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.

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.

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.
