And she’d taken to her spirit animal, finding joy in running through the woods as a red fox. She still didn’t hunt, feeding only from his veins, but he was happy to provide for her. Truth be told, he didn’t like the thought of her beautiful lips on the necks of criminals.
He landed gently on the ground beside the fox, the air igniting with energy as they shifted back to their human forms. Juliana smiled, eyes still wide from her adventure in the forest.
How is it that I had four legs and a tail, and now I stand on two legs fully clothed like nothing happened?
Night Walker magic. Colin winked, laughing when she elbowed him. Okay, okay. When we allow our animal spirit to take over, we step back, but we are still just as we were.
Suspended animation?
He’d always taken his shifts for granted. He pondered it a moment longer and tipped his head with a nod. Something like that? I allow the hawk to come forward more than I actually change myself. Make sense?
I think I get it. Juliana crossed her arms, hip jutting out a bit with a spark in her dark eyes. Night Walker magic.
He laughed wrapping her in his arms. You, my angel, are the greatest magic I have ever known.
This novella was a labor of love for all the Night Series fans out there who thought Colin deserved a Happily Ever After! Thanks to my Night Angel Legion for all the support and enthusiasm for this story. You rock! Also a big thanks to my beta readers, Panda Wilson, Denise Fluhr, and Heather Cox. I also want to thank my fabulous editor who always makes my stories shine, Danielle Poiesz, and my agent Laurie McLean who supports and encourages me to try new things even when they’re not on the traditional path. And to my husband, Ken, who is my best friend and tolerates listening to me freak out about new story ideas. He’s also a master at talking me off the cliff when I get so busy my head spins. I love you!
And to all of the readers out there, thank YOU for reading and telling your friends about books you love. If you enjoyed the book I hope you’ll leave a short review. http://amazon.com/author/lisakessler
