the Peacekeepers and their loved ones were safe.
The Gods each chose a species, and they molded two sets of Peacekeepers from each species. Once done, they set their Peacekeepers to work.
Chapter 1.
“Jacky, we have wildlife stuff in Australia. Why the hell do you want to stay at this place?”
Jacky rolled her eyes at her best friend and looked back out the window. Thank goodness Karen liked to drive, or she would have missed so much of the wondrous landscape. She let out a contented sigh and continued to stare in wonder at the incredible nature that rolled around her. Alaska. A huge tick off her own personal bucket list.
Karen wasn’t a nature person; she was a shopping-and-spending-money person. Whereas, she loved wildlife and exploring. She’d given up trying to get her best friend out on hikes with her; it was a tedious task. Even if she did succeed, Karen bitched and moaned the whole time about the pain in her feet and the waste of time that the fresh air was.
Jacky smiled to herself. She loved Karen, the girl had dropped everything to come on this holiday for her . But just for a few days she was going to be selfish and indulge her need for green. Karen could read in front of the fire to her heart’s content.
“I want to see a polar bear, Karen, and this place says they can guarantee it.”
Karen groaned at her, changing the CD in the car to a new song. “Please tell me you haven’t paid a ridiculous amount of money to be scammed?”
Jacky blew her friend a kiss. She didn’t care how much money she had to pay to see a polar bear. She’d researched this lodge thoroughly, and the reviews were amazing . Every cent she’d charged to her credit card was going to be money well spent. “The website and the brochures I was sent all promise it too.”
“I hope you’re right.”
Jacky opened her mouth to ask Karen a question, then shut it again. She really wanted to ask her friend about Karen quitting her job, but it needed to be the right time. Karen hadn’t told her herself, so she had to assume there was a reason for it.
Jacky would never be able to thank her best friend enough for taking two months out of her life to come with her on this trip. Leaving that arsehole of an ex-boyfriend was the best thing she’d ever done, and it was time to reclaim her life and all the things she’d given up to be with him.
Having her best friend next to her made her so much stronger through the dark times.
A small wooden building appeared in the distance and she pointed to it against the cold glass of the windscreen.
“Look, I think that’s it.”
They had followed the directions from the man in the small town they’d passed through on the way and now that she’d spotted the lodge butterflies of excitement fluttered in her belly. It was much smaller than she’d anticipated, but what should she have expected this far into the wilderness?
“It’s not as big as I thought. But they only take one group at a time. Maybe that’s why?”
Karen, who was driving, slowed the car down as they approached the lodge. Jacky craned her neck and saw a second, smaller lodge behind the first one. Perhaps that was where the owners lived?
“Jacky, where do I even park the car? There’s no parking bays?” Karen asked, but didn’t wait for a response as she pulled hard on the wheel and drove into a spot next to the lodge.
“We’re here!” Jacky tried not to squeal as her throat tightened and tingled.
She looked up as two blond men opened the door to the main lodge and began walking towards them.
“Wow. Look. I hope they’re our guides.”
She shared a grin with Karen and they both stepped out of the car. One of the blond giants stepped around to greet her and the other went around to Karen’s side of the car.
She stuck out her hand in typical Aussie female style and gave him a big smile.
“Hi. I’m Jackson. Jacky.”
The Viking with stunning blue eyes gave himself a weird shake and smiled at her
