    I was a literature student on the cusp of finishing my first year and despite everything that had been going on I had managed to keep my grades in this class quite high. Perhaps I was just naturally talented when it came to words or perhaps it was the person leading the class. Tall, tanned and handsome, Professor Damien Lock stood leering at the fresh faced young men and women before him. He had just turned thirty and had a face full of stubble that coated his strong jaw, his hair was short and thick, tamed by a handful of gel and pushed back so that his green eyes could stand out beneath the thick, black brows that I’d seen frown at me far too many times. I had spent several nights fantasizing about the older man, reaching into my briefs and tugging at my shaft as I thought of all the ways he could take me. Sometimes I’d catch a glimpse of his hairy chest poking out of the undone button of his collar, on those occasions I often found myself retreating to my dorm to release the tension building between my thighs. My sexuality had kicked in the same time my werewolf gene had. Almost overnight I found myself – a young man with a history of ex-girlfriends – craving other men and yearning for them to throw me up against a wall and have their wicked way with me. These emotions felt so natural that I didn’t waste my time questioning them. I didn’t want to deny what my heart, head and crotch were feeling. Maybe if I hadn’t been a werewolf then I would’ve struggled to ‘come out’ and accept myself but none of that other stuff really seemed to matter when I had to spend several nights a month controlling an insatiable bloodlust.

    The goddess has a new job for this generation of legacy descendants… but first, she has a few tasks for them. The Legacy Warrior books were an mpreg shifter series that followed the adult adventures of the children born in the The Blood Legacy Chronicles. Their journey began in book one where the first couple find themselves being drafted by the goddess Artio to help her uncover an ancient artifact. Over the course of the series, four couples were given four tasks to complete the goddess's quest. A beguiling mix of fun, fantasy, friendship and family—this series took reader’s breath away. This is not a new book in the series! This is a compilation of the five epilogues that have been included in the bundled version of the series. These bonus stories show scenes of daily happenings within the pack now that they’re living their happily ever afters. The epilogues contain a mix of sexy mate moments behind closed doors with an omega in a toppy mood, antics of cubs, gargoyles in the wild, and an intriguing glimpse of future pairings. If you read and loved this series, you’ll want to read these brand-new shorts of never before been seen material. These shorts are all intended for 18+ readers only. This is a short compilation of about 12.5k, but is only intended for adult readers as it contains adults adulting in naughty, knotty ways and there might be enough potty mouth language to make a sailor blush. Note: This is from the fourth series of books that have all been set in the same universe. Each series can be read on its own, but if you want to read the world in its entirety, the suggested series reading order is: The Northern Lodge Pack, The Northern Pines Den, The Blood Legacy Chronicles, and finally, Legacy Warrior.
