ULRICH I wait, and I hang on for years hoping that my mate would come and calm this fury and pain that I carry around, but no, my woman had to be a tease and instead of calming she has me revved up ready to tear anyone apart that looks at her. She says that if I want her, I will have to show her that I deserve her. How the hell do I do that? I'm not the flower and poems type. ANASTASIA He thinks that just because he belongs to a badass motorcycle club and is as handsome as sin I would just leave and follow him like a puppy. Well, he will have to show me that what he says is true, actions talk louder than words and the only actions he has been showing me is of a possessive caveman.

DANE Being an Elemental is a fight against evil and good, a fight that I am tired of. For centuries that I have waited for peace now that wait has come to an end, but I worry that it's too late. I have finally found the light to my darkness, the goodness to combat my evil, but my coarseness, my complete unruliness will tint the goodness that is my woman. Can I be that selfish? FREYA I have been fighting myself, my life, my very existence but the moment I see Dane I know we have a connection. A connection that brings purpose and meaning to my life. He says I'm his, I know I'm his, now it's just convincing him that I'm not the delicate flower that he thinks I am.

DAG How do you convince someone that has been betrayed since the day they were born that you are being true. I can feel the pain that betrays Esmeralda's courage, the pain that is like a shield holding her in limbo from living a full and joyful life. The scars on her body are nothing like the scars that bleed deep in her soul. How can I protect and care for her if she doesn't open herself to the fact that I would give my very life to keep her safe. I wont rest until she feels the joy that she deserves, the joy of being loved and loving others. ESMERALDA He might have found me, might even make me feel like I have never felt before, but sooner or later the pain and betrayal will once again rear its head. He swears to protect me, to care for me, but who will protect him from me? Who will protect him from the evil that always follows me?
