Cursed Awakening
Ivy Morgan has re-invented herself and is looking forward to the future for the first time, in a very long time. Since fleeing for her life from an overzealous religious cult, she is able to be a modern woman that is gaining her independence; so taking up with a sexy stranger named Nyx is the last thing she needs. Or, is it?
Nyx Wahpeton can’t stop thinking about the young woman he’s met. It couldn’t have come at the worse possible time with the clans meeting and his family wrapped up in a centuries old war that’s nothing short of what horror movies are made from. He’s been a protector of his people and those that reside at the Reservation. There’s betrayal and evil at his front door; but, in his heart he knows Ivy is the one for him. She’s surrounded by secrets that he’s vowed to unlock, as well as her heart. However, can he keep her safe from his own secrets?
“Miss, you’ll need you to fill out this form and sign here…and here…and
this page here.” The clerk at the town hall instructed the woman who had come
to have her name formally changed.
The woman was in her mid-twenties and couldn’t seem to sign the papers quick
enough. She looked simple enough in a pair of jeans and a Hello Kitty t-shirt
that seemed a little too tight. Her auburn hair was to the middle of her back
and she had on light make-up. The woman had a black leather, Emily the Strange
backpack hanging off her shoulder and a pink beaded stud collar around her
neck. The clerk did a double take when she had walked in with the papers from
McGee’s law office. They just didn’t get too many people that looked like this
woman and the clerk hoped that the lady didn’t stick around long around.
The young woman smiled as the clerk notarized and affixed the state stamp
on the documents. Officially, Anya Louise Pascal was no more! This made the
death of her old life or rather existence null and void! She was now and would
forever be known as Ivy Rayne Morgan. Ivy had spent a lot of time with the help
of Terrance McGee and Lorna Vest creating a new identity that would launch her
into her new life; a life that included freedom! She’d never be able to repay
Terrance or Lorna for what they had done for her but they had explained that
was their job. The old woman handed her the papers and Ivy clutched them to her
chest. In a few days she would be starting college classes at the local
community college and her new job at a local diner. Ivy nearly skipped out the
doors of the city hall.
Lorna was waiting for Ivy outside leaning against her minivan. Ivy waved
the papers as she descended the steps of city hall with a huge smile on her
face. Lorna was in her late thirties and tough as they come.
