Kidnapped By My Mate (Beautiful Belle and Alpha Grayson)

Belle has not had the best life. Most of it she spent taking care of her sick father while her mother ran off to sleep with other men. So you can imagine her frustration when, only a few months after the death of her father, her mother forces her to come spend the holidays with her and her new family. But what happens when she meets a certain alpha on the plane who claims that she belongs to him?----"Mine. Mate," he said, his deep, husky voice ringing in my ears. His hands tightened around me as his forehead came down to meet mine and he breathed in deeply. I let my eyes close as I basked in the feeling of his arms around me and the delicious sparks that were running through my body. I didn't even know that it was possible to feel this good. I felt his head move from mine as he nuzzled his nose into my neck. I tilted my head to give him better access and he let out an approving grunt.And then I felt him place a gentle kiss right where my neck and shoulder met. My knees went weak, my entire body going numb as a breathy sound came from my mouth. He smiled against my neck, chuckling and taking all of my weight into his arms as I leaned completely into him to stop myself from falling."Hello, mate," he whispered in my ear.------This book is also known as Kidnapped By My Mate.

Damon Salvatore he can't speak of me. 2. Stefan Salvatore he doesn't remember me. 3. Elijah Mikaelson if he tells you you'll probably be dead within the minute. 4. Niklaus Mikaelson you'll be dead within 30 seconds. 5. Kol Mikaelson he's temporarily dead. 6. Shes also temporarily dead.

Will there be a Unicorn? and Other Tales

Will there be a Unicorn? and Other Tales is a collection of short rhyming stories for kids which I'm updating as they come to me.The title story - Will there be a Unicorn? - has illustrations by the wonderful Sringkhala, more coming soon. One day I'd like to see it published as a picture book with really detailed, cute and funny illustrations. I imagine a unicorn on each of the early pages, out of sight of the protagonists but visible to the reader. Other stories include The Clever Young Witch and The Royal Pumpkin.#440 in Poetry 16th February 2017#1 in Bedtime 5th January 2022
