Acknowledgements
I both love and loathe writing this part.
Know that you are one of the people I am personally thanking right
now. Yes you. I know it might be cheesy but where would I be
without your help? So my first thanks, and acknowledgments go to
you.
I have to practically praise, bow-down, and
kiss her feet, in thanks. Samantha Lunn, my wonderful, beautiful
PA, who has to deal with my craziness. She has to muck through my
first drafts, and have me constantly hounding her. I value your
opinion so much my love, and you are such an amazing friend. I
wouldn’t get very far (anywhere) without you. I can’t ever thank
you enough.
Thank you Katherine Eccleston so very much
for everything you have done. Seriously. I can never thank you
enough. Ever. Much love sweetheart.
So my betas, my wonderful betas - Nana,
Melissa, Stephanie, Nellysa, Janelle, Jaime, Crystal, and Hannah.
Seriously, I can never thank you ladies for taking time out of your
lives to look at my books not as just readers, but critical
readers. You are all amazing friends to me, helping me with this,
and everything you can. A special thanks to Nana, and Melissa!
I want to thank my amazing friends who might
not be helping with the writing aspect of this, but deal with my
other craziness. I cannot thank you enough. I am more than certain
you all know who you are. There are so many people I want to thank
but especially Kimberly Schaaf (for being such an amazing friend),
Candy Smith, and so many more!
Thank you Airicka Phoenix. You are an
amazing friend, who has supported me when I first started, and
helped me (well did most of the work) for the beautiful new and old
covers of the Rebirth Series.
Alex Wright. You sweetheart, are my hometown
girl who never usually reads, and read both my books in under a few
days. I couldn’t believe your enthusiasm for the series, and for
the characters. You made me smile on more than one occasion. Thank
you for detox nights, and being totally amazing.
To my other hometown sweeties, I love you
all so much, thank you for supporting me in this crazy adventure,
this includes my family. Thank you all so, so much.
Okay if you feel forgotten please don’t. I
love you even if your name isn’t up here .
Chapter 1 – Elijah
I could feel her oppressing presence. It
pushed against my own ghostly skin and, oddly, I felt a tingle of something. Either way, it would make it that much easier to
find her. I strode across the hospital. A few nurses were watching
me closely, with my shaded eyes and dark presence. I was used to
it. I made those innocent healers feel uncomfortable. The new,
fresh from college ones were the worst. The older ones understood
that death was not a friend, nor a foe. It killed without reason
and without remorse. It was the nurses and doctors who understood
that. They could possibly tolerate my presence. This one would be
different though, I could feel it from here. My ears picked up a
soft, soothing voice.
I shut my eyes for a moment as her voice
filtered in. They snapped open as soon as I realized what was
happening. No. I had a mission. After joining the York Clan,
because of a certain dragon-shifter, I promised that I would find
the rumored elder race. York came to me with a file, a name,
description, and location. Finding her would be the easy part;
unfortunately, I had sensed other paranormals around.
I was not sure which clan they belonged to,
but it would mean a fight. I had no doubt that I would be
victorious; but if I was correct, this rebirth paranormal would not
know of her origins. If she was not aware, then having her leave
with me would be much more difficult.
As I thought on my predicament, I heard her
voice again. I turned towards the voice, knowing those who were in
my way would move or I would push them aside.
There she was. She was not hard to miss.
Silver hair and bright blue eyes that shimmered like gems,
reminding me of Audrey’s. Only Audrey’s were not as shiny, or
