Reaping

"Because I love her. Because I don't like being apart from her."

The thought ran wild through my brain as I waited for death. I knew I was dying; my head had been sliced off. There was no surviving that kind of nonsense.

But my brothers kept shouting and swearing at me. I heard someone crying.

Then, I sighed, interrupting my own Shakespearean tragedy vibe.

And now there's someone at the damn door.

I guess death will have to wait...

Freshly wounded and fighting for survival, Luke is faced with terrible questions:

• Is Luke Peacekeeper or Lord Peace? Can he be both without killing himself?
• Will Sianna accept and welcome Luke's love? Better yet, will she respond in kind, allowing the binding of passionate love he has longed to feel his entire life?
• Can Luke find his place among the beast affinity shifters to save the innocent minds who will die without his help?
• Have the women in Luke's life stolen his annual allotment of holiday fudge?

Reaping reveals some hard truths about beast affinity society, history, and Darla's family.
