Excerpt from Forged By Greed by A.O. Peart - just one of the Stories in Love After Dark:
“Prince Jatred!” The Winter Goddess’s voice sounded
angry. She marched fast toward him. A deep frown settled between her brows.
Watching her, the wolf lowered his head between his
shoulder blades, his tail between his hind legs. A quiet growl rumbled in the back
of his throat. Freezing gusts
whipped at her hair and clothes. The Goddess’s long black
dress trailed behind her, loose sleeves flapping in the wind. Her nails were painted
black and matched the series of complex black tattoos covering her face. She appeared as
the Celtic goddess Morrigan. “You know why you’re here.” Crystal’s voice reverberated
in the wolf’s head.
Her lips were pressed together.
He didn’t answer but kept his eyes on her. The Goddess
stood in front of him, glowering, her hands on her hips. Her body stretched and
grew until she was over ten feet tall, muscular and commanding. The wolf crouched down,
baring his teeth.
“You are going to leave her today!” The Goddess’s voice
boomed in the air. It echoed several times, bouncing off the mountains. Her
face contorted in anger. She waved her hand, and a wave of freezing air hit him like a
tornado. He tumbled uncontrollably, clawing at the snow. Crystal moved her
hand again, and Jatred stopped rolling. He tried to stand up but he felt too dizzy. His
body ached as if it was bruised all
over.
“Prince Jatred,” the Goddess hissed. Her eyes were
furious. Jatred got up and stood, panting, his legs wobbly. He took an unsure
step forward, testing the ground. A low snarl escaped him, his ears
flat.
“No,” he said with his mind, growling louder.
Crystal flicked her wrist once more, and the wolf flew
back several feet, as if hit by a truck going at full-speed. He yelped and fell,
sliding in the snow on his side.
Gasping, Jatred snapped his eyes open and bared his
teeth. He growled and wrinkled his muzzle. The Goddess walked up to him. She stopped and
folded her arms over her chest.
“Stop resisting. I don’t really want to hurt you.”
“We have a different understanding of the word ‘hurt’,”
he wheezed with his mind.
“You will obey me
this time, my Prince. Don’t make me summon you here again to remind you of your duty. Or it will be more than
physical pain that I will inflict on you. Think of those you love that are my Shifters.” The
Goddess’s voice was calm, barely
above a whisper. “Now go back to the Human World.”
Crystal stretched her arms, palms flat over Jatred.
Shimmering dust rained from her hands down to his fur. The pain in his body subsided,
and calmness enveloped him.
He squeezed his eyes shut and forced himself to shift
into his human form, before she let
him return to the Human World.
