Coheed Cambria

“Give me your criminals, your poor; your bonded masses yearning to breathe free; the wretched refuse of your teeming shore; send these, the vagabonds, tempest-tossed to me.

I really must have looked bad for Michelle to be this concerned. “I can drive you home and my dad can follow us....” Michelle rambled on, but I could hardly hear what she was saying. The buzzing in my ears was now a roar, like a freight train running back and forth through my head from ear to ear. “I have to go, Michelle,” I said, pulling away from the curb, barely giving her time to close the door as I sped off. But I didn’t make it home. I made it as far as Granby Lake when the shaking was so uncontrollable that I had to pull over. I threw the car into park and the keys under the mat in the driver’s seat. My body was shaking and quivering as pain coursed throughout my body. I screamed, almost a howl, as I ran for the woods. I didn’t know why, but I had the sudden urge to run, to let the coolness of the evening air soothe my skin... to be free. My body shook uncontrollably as I ran faster than I had ever run before into the forest. The quivering ran from my hands and traveled throughout my body as I ran even faster, pushing harder, losing control of my body. What was happening to me? I screamed as I looked down to see my hands shimmering, changing into giant silver paws, but my screams ended in a howl as the quivering traveled down the length of my body, morphing and changing every cell. By instinct, I leapt into the air and my clothes shredded into pieces. I landed on four paws, running even faster. To where? I didn’t know. Was I going crazy? I looked around and nothing looked familiar. Where was I? “This can’t be happening to me!” I thought, sprinting through the forest into the Colorado Rockies, as variations of pine and aspen rushed pasted. If I were in my human form, I would have been crying. As it was, dampness seeped from my eyes, soaking the fur underneath. I was almost to Wyoming when I heard voices inside my mind. I am going crazy! I thought to myself, as my powerful claws dug into the lichen along the forest floor, propelling my body even faster. To where? I didn't know. *** *AUTHOR NOTE: Please also check out my other books now available on Webnovel!

Cambria has always followed her own sets of rules, unlike her mother who believes catering to her husband is what will make him stay. Having dinner on the table at the same time every night, dishes done, house clean, children attended to, and being a stay at home mom. Also, believing that girls don't go to college. These things are not what Cambria wants for her life. She wants to go to college to be somebody and not depend on a man. However, her plans are put to a halt when her mother decides to marry Cambria off to Fiacre Ellison.

At merely seven years old, Neera, was dragged away from the alley she called home to end up joining a Duke's harem. She has to endure the hardships of being a commoner in the war-waging kingdom of Cambria, feeling the pain of everything that is familiar to her being ripped away from her life. After years of grasping all the resources she can from the declining ducal house and it's sick master, Neera meets Davina, the new addition to the harem, as well as a member of the Ronna, an independent tribe in the border with the dukedom. Together, they make their escape and embark on a journey to find vengeance, wealth, love, and a place to call home. ---- "I'll kill him myself. No, I'll kill every last one of them. For all who have fallen at their hands and perished from their greed, I won't fall back anymore. I don't need the prince's support. Hell, I don't even care if it means turning the bastard against me." Her breath was labored, but her eyes burned with determination. "If there is no man fit to be my king I'll become a monarch myself." ---- *The art in the cover is not mine. All rights go to their original authors.
