Tara thanked us again before I sent her straight to the back
of her store.  There was an awkward moment, when she looked like she was going
to hug me, but she thought better of it after glancing at Sierra.  Just as well
really, kept me out of trouble.  All in all, despite how crazy things had
gotten the last four days, I’d gotten another powerful ally out of it, and an
understanding between Tara and I on where we stood.  Not to mention my new
comprehension and increased powers of both fire and air.

I still had a way to go before I could learn about and face
my true enemies, but I no longer thought it would take me decades to get there,
perhaps another few years?  Unless things really slowed down, but somehow I
doubted that would be a problem.  Chicago seemed to attract their fair share of
supernatural crisis.

I was also more sure than ever about Sierra, and looked
forward to a future together.  She was gorgeous, generous, loving, sexy,
caring, sweet, and very affectionate.  She was also more than strong enough to
keep me honest and not put up with any crap.  That was kind of comforting, I
knew if I ever started to veer down the wrong path in my pursuit of power she’d
call me out on it.  She was a blessing in my life, something I never really
believed I would find.

Aitheria and I were good, more than good.  Except, I still
didn’t know what I was missing, and for some reason that bothered me more than
not knowing about my mother’s killer, and my enemy.  The small elemental woman
was and still is one of the bedrocks in my life.

Aitheria sent in a snippy scandalized tone, “
Small?
”

I sent a mental chuckle her way, “
Small but the most
beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
”

Aitheria scowled, “
This body isn’t real.
”

The corners of my mouth turned up in a small smile as I
simply asked, “
Who says I was talking about that body Ria?
”

She looked entirely speechless as she stared up at me from
my shoulder with swirling eyes, and then turned her head away bashfully.  I
swear she’d be blushing if she was capable of it.  Point for Ben.

It wasn’t all good though.  I still hadn’t heard from Mike,
although Jenna had texted me a few times and I was expected at their house for
our normal Wednesday night meal later in the week.  Hopefully that wouldn’t be
too awkward.

Even worse than that, the first supernatural I’d met outside
of Aitheria, that I still loved to a certain extent, and had become my mentor
in all things supernatural, hadn’t spoken to me since I’d told her about Sierra
and I taking the next step.  I knew Diana was in pain, and I felt a little
guilty about it, but it really wasn’t my fault, and there was nothing I could
do to fix it.  We’d known for months we could never be together, but I guess me
moving on was for her, like losing me, or I should say since we’d never even
started, the possibility of me, all over again.  I didn’t know what to do there
at all.

“We ready to go home?” I asked, the fire was really burning
good now, I’d bet the fire department would be here soon, but was also willing
to bet it would be nothing but embers and ash by then.

Sierra nodded, stepped into me, and conformed her body to
mine, and my arms automatically returned her embrace.

She grinned at my confused look and said in a seductive tone
of voice, “You know, just to be careful with this crazy travel thing.”

I laughed, as I remembered our first time travelling, as I
bade my element to take us home.

Afterword:
 

I hope you enjoyed this story, if you did
please
leave a review.  Reviews are the lifeblood of independent authors, and I
would appreciate greatly any constructive feedback or opinions.  As usual,
outside of the arcing plot that ties the series together, and character growth,
I tried not to leave any cliffhangers or loose ends.  It’s subject to change,
but I expect another three, possibly four books to go before Ben’s story is
complete.

Celia Winters Novel Series

Witch’s Moon: A Celia Winters Novel Book 1

Celia Winters was raised by her single mother, and her
earliest memories are of the store her mother owns and the nearby coven, who
have always been her family’s close allies and friends.

She grew up believing her magic was weak, but she was
satisfied with her life, and happy.  She was a midwife, healer, and
supplier of surrounding covens. 

Then her mother died, and she’s about to discover she isn’t
who, or what, she believes herself to be, not completely.  She will learn
that her entire life up until now was a lie.  She’ll need to figure out
her place, who she is when she no longer recognizes herself, and try to hold on
to her closest friends as she gathers enemies for the simple crime of her
existence.

She’s stronger than she believes, but will it be enough?

Power of Air Series:

Just a Psychic: The Power of Air Book One
starts off
this series.

Ben has grown up with missing memories of his early
childhood.

He has known he was a psychic since his earliest memories,
seeing the future and gaining knowledge with his gifts.

Is it possible he isn't just a psychic?

Ben's world is about to be turned upside down as he turns

Alicia Jones
novels
is a series that follows a bright young inventor and scientist
named Alicia Jones.  It is a space opera and light science fiction.

The first book is titled
First Contact:

Alicia Jones is a genius, and a little odd.  At just
twenty-three years of age, she is close to finishing her doctoral
dissertation.  But when she tests her latest theory in the lab to generate
a strong EM field, it has very unanticipated results.  Results that lead
to faster than light travel, and first contact with another race.

 Her life just gets more complicated after that, when
she finds out who she really is, and that the universe may not be as nice a
place as she’d been told.  Her determination to help keep Earth safe takes
her to places more dangerous and strange than she’d ever envisioned.

It’s only been about ten days since the rogue pack came to
Chicago.

Ben had been hoping for a little more down time before the
next wave of impossible problems.  His personal life is becoming more
complicated than ever, but that won’t stop a coven of witches and an ancient
rogue vampire from throwing more fuel on the fire. 

Of course, all those problems may pale in comparison when
another sorcerer comes to town.  He’ll need to think fast if he’s going to
survive a foe with a strength and power that far exceeds his own.
