in sight
Only when they are together
Will the two heal
Bringing back the peace
Along with the harmony
Leaving the torment behind
Open your heart
Let the truth be known
Those two souls know
What the heart is so blind to see
They belong together
Through and through
You are the one who heals my soul
Bringing the harmony back
Tears roll down my cheeks as the song comes to an end. Standing up, I rush across the room and into the soundproof room. I make it to Tanner just as he removes the guitar from around him and throw my arms around him.
“I love you. You are my harmony as well. Thank you for never giving up on me. Even when I wanted you to,” I whisper.
“Baby, I’d never give you up. Could not even if I wanted to. You have held my heart in your hands since the first day I met you and have had my soul connected to yours since the day I married you. Now we can live in harmony just you and me with our family,” he says, cupping the back of my head.
I like that idea. Living a life of harmony with my own Demon. Smiling, I lift up enough until I can kiss him just like I intend to do for the rest of my life.
The End.
Dear Readers,
I just want to say thank you for taking a chance on me by reading the first of my books. And now following me on to my other adventures. From the DRMC to the Dark Lullabies series. Then we have the RBMC (Elizabeth City Charter) to the Inferno’s Clutch MC. With so many more to come!
I hope you all have enjoyed reading the Dark Lullabies series so far. This year we’ve had so many books come out and more to come. Between all of the series I’m working on, you’ll have your hands full when it comes to these men and women as they find their way.
And don’t forget all the new characters you’ve met.
Next up in the Dark Lullabies series is A Demon’s Song. Which will be Lex’s story. Find out about the man behind the smile.
Remember you can always reach out to me. You guys rock and I can’t thank you enough for being a part of this ride with me.
Sincerely,
E.C.

Prologue
Chaz
16 years old
“Dude, take a look at the new chick walking into class,” Tanner mumbles under his breath from behind me. Glancing up from the song I’d been working on I tilt my head toward the door. At first glance my heart stopped. Standing in the doorway is the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen.
“Everyone, I’d like you to meet Jamie,” Miss Lawrence announces.
“I wouldn’t mind being the one to give her a tour around the school, maybe show her the locker room,” Hunter chuckles.
“Shut up asshole,” I grumble and go back to what I’m doing. That is until a shadow moves over me.
“Hi, umm, do you mind if I sit next to you?” the sweetest voice I’d ever heard asks.
“Sure,” I answer her without looking.
“Thanks,” she says and damnit the sound of her voice does something to me. Something I’m not sure how to explain. Well I guess the best way to describe it would be musical. Which brings me to wonder if she sings.
You see Tanner, Hunter, Lex, and I formed a band called Demons Among Us back in middle school. Yeah, might sound somewhat stupid but the name stuck. The name has meaning behind it. The four of us don’t have your usual life. Each of us have our demons hovering over us.
Shaking my head to clear it, I don’t need to go there right now. I’ve escaped that part of my life and I won’t go back.
“So, are you always this broody?” Jamie asks, her voice the sound of music to my ears.
Lifting my head, I glance in her direction. “Don’t know what you’re talking about,” I mutter before going back to try to finish what I was doing. This song isn’t gonna write itself. Normally we all work on the songs together. But I’d woken up this morning and couldn’t get the lyrics out of my head.
“See broody,” giggling she opens up her notebook and begins to listen to Miss Lawrence’s lesson of the day. I’m sure I should be doing the same but it’s whatever. It’s not like when it comes down to the test, I won’t pass it. I’m just smart like that I guess you can say.
Soon as class is over, I close my notebook and stand, ready to get to the next class.
“So, Mr. Broody, can you show me to my next class?” Whipping my head around to Jamie as she asks her question.
Tanner and Hunter burst into a fit of laughter at her calling me Mr. Broody. Fuck I’m not gonna live that down.
Glaring at her I take in just how small she is compared to me. At sixteen I’m not some lanky teen and this beautiful girl standing in front of me is the size of a pixie. At her smile I sigh.
Finally, I ask “What class do you have?”
“Umm I’m not sure,” she says, pulling out a piece of paper from her notebook. “Here this is my schedule.”
Taking the paper she’s holding out, my fingers graze hers and holy shit it felt like an electric shock running through me.
Who the hell is this little pixie?
Glancing down at the paper I see that her and I have all the same classes. Well fuck. Guess we better get going.
“Come on Pixie, seems we have the same classes,” I grumble.
“Oh, that’s so cool maybe I can sit by you in all of them. Wouldn’t that be great?” Rolling my eyes at her I don’t respond. I have a feeling this little pixie of a girl will become my undoing. The one who will see through the exterior and bring me harmony.
