“Good morning.” I took my coffee and kissed my husband.
“Good morning, Minn Elska,” he growled in my ear.
Minn Elska, it meant “my love” in Old Norse. Trevor is from the Norse Pantheon, his father is Fenrir, the Wolf God.
“Shall we eat breakfast up here?” I asked.
The palace had six floors, if you didn't count the towers and my children's bedrooms, and our dining hall was on the first floor. We had an elevator so we didn't have to walk down six flights of stairs but sometimes we preferred to have a private meal upstairs before we braved the lions. And that's literal; we live with a pride of werelions—about eighty of them.
“Tima!” the voice of one of those werelions interrupted our conversation.
“It looks as if we may not have breakfast at all,” Trevor muttered.
I went to the intercom near the door and pressed the button to speak. “Yes?”
“Tima, this is Jake. I just got back from England.”
“Oh, lovely,” I exclaimed. “Cheery oh and all that.”
“Yeah, thanks. Um, Tima, you need to see some of the pictures I took.”
“That sounds ominous.”
“It was meant to.”
“I'll be right down.” I looked at Trevor.
Trevor sighed and handed me my coffee. “For the road?”
I laughed as I accepted the mug. “You coming down?”
“Nah, I should probably wait for Vero to get up. It should be soon, then we'll come downstairs and join you.”
“Okay.” I gave him one more kiss and headed for the elevator. “What fresh hell is this?” I grumbled as I went.
About the Author
Amy Sumida is the Internationally Acclaimed author of the Award-Winning Godhunter Series, the fantasy paranormal Twilight Court Series, the Beyond the Godhunter Series, the music-oriented paranormal Spellsinger Series, the superhero Spectra Series, and several short stories. Her books have been translated into several languages, have won numerous awards, and are bestsellers.

Her stories are full of strong women and hot gods, shapeshifters, vampires, dragons, fairies, gargoyles... pretty much any type of supernatural, breathtakingly gorgeous man you can think of. Because why have normal when you could have paranormal?
Born and raised in Hawaii, Amy made a perilous journey across the ocean with six cats to settle in the beautiful state of Oregon which reminds her a lot of Hawaii but without the cockroaches or evil sand. When she isn't trying to type fast enough to get down everything the voices in her head are saying while her kitties try to sabotage her with cuteness, she enjoys painting on canvases, walls, and anything else that will sit still long enough for the paint to dry. She prefers antiques to modern furniture, tea to coffee, night to day, and Tom Hardy to Tom Hiddleston. No; Tom Hiddleston to Tom Hardy. No, wait... Tom Hardy and Tom Hiddleston to Tom Cruise. Yes, that's it.
