Author Bio: Hey everybody, not sure exactly what I should
write here...hmmm when I'm not dreaming up hot romance stories, I go to school

Author! Because writing stories is my true love!
I was born on the East Coast but make California my home now. I have one child, a daughter who is the light of my life. You don't need to hear any more...it's boring!

Excerpt:
While
they waited for the healer to come and give them a status update, Elena stayed
by the bed. She ran her hands over her son's form. She hadn’t seen his jaguar
in many years. She noted that even in this form he had some scars. If a shifter
was unable to see a healer and stayed in human form until a wound healed, he
would scar. Elena was shocked at some of the scars on her son’s body and she
could only see one side of him.
“Chuy,
I do not think our son has been working on trucks during his time in the army,”
she said in a quiet voice.
“You
are right, he didn’t want to worry us. But I know my boys. And you know Raoul,
he always wanted to be a soldier,” he said, there was pride and worry in his
voice.
Before
she had a chance to answer there was a knock on the door right before it
opened.
“Hey,
I don’t know if you know who I am…”
“Are
you, Craig?” asked Oscar from where he stood near the door.
“Uh,
yeah, but that’s not why I stopped by. Um, I’m not sure how to say this exactly
but I have this guy here…um, well, the thing is he says that Raoul is his
mate,” he finished with a red face.
That announcement got everyone’s attention.
That announcement got everyone’s attention.
“Why
is he so sure?” asked Marianna.
“Well,
I had to help Raoul shift, so I had to touch him. Then this guy was the next
person I helped and when he shifted, he said he could scent his mate on me.”
“And
how does he know that you aren’t his mate?” Marianna asked the cute young man
next.
“I’m
straight! I mean, I don’t have a problem with gay people or anything but um…”
Before
he could say anything else, his father, Thorston, appeared behind him and he
pushed the door open the rest of the way and walked in.
“Is
there a problem?” he asked as he shut the door behind him.
“Your
son was just explaining that another patient here is claiming to be my son’s
mate,” explained Chuy.
“I
see,” he said before turning to his son, “Craig, do you know where this patient
is?”
“Mom
took him up front to see if the Vasquez family had arrived. He wanted to meet
them and find out if he could see Raoul.”
Before
anyone else could say anything there was another knock at the door and Ingrid
stuck her head in. “Oh good, you’re all here. Come in Leo and I’ll introduce
you,” she said, pulling the door open and walking through with Leo not far
behind.
“It’s
getting awfully crowded in here. Why don’t we leave Mama and Poppi to talk to
him and we’ll go get everyone some breakfast. Raoul is sure to wake up hungry,”
said Arturo. They were all curious about the new man. But they didn’t want to
scare Raoul’s mate away by overwhelming him right away. He’d have plenty of
time to meet all of the family.
They
all agreed and started filing out of the room. “You just want to go off and
canoodle with your mate,” Marianna said to Arturo as they walked down the hall.
“Technically,
we’re still considered newlyweds so it’s acceptable behavior,” said Brody in
response as he reached over to give his mate’s ass a squeeze.
As
the door shut on their children Elena turned to the doctor. “Before we meet
this young man, would you give us an update on Raoul’s condition? Why did he
need help shifting,” she asked anxiously.
Leo
also paid close attention to what the doctor had to say. He wanted to know what
was wrong with his mate. Even in his human form he could already separate all
of the scents in the room. His shifter senses were already increasing. It was
almost too much he would have to learn to deal with it. As the doctor spoke, he
couldn’t stop himself from walking over to the bed. He stepped up to the
opposite side from where his mate’s mother and father were standing.
“Your
son’s injury was quite severe and almost beyond my capabilities to heal. It’s
actually still healing. He has not yet regained the use of his legs and won’t
until the swelling along his spine subsides. I do expect him to make a full
recovery, but he will need a few more healing sessions. I told him to shift every
three to four hours for the next day. Craig here will help him if he needs it.
By the end of next week he’ll be recovered enough that I can release him.”
