another day without you in my life as my wife,” Coyote says, lifting his free hand to my cheek and wiping the tears that have rolled down it.

My throat is clogged with so many emotions, I nod my head and move to hug him only my descended stomach stops me from doing so. Laughing, I lift my hands to his face and smile at him. “Then I except, because I want you as my husband until beyond my last breath.”

Grinning at me once more, he peeks down at Cody, seeing him staring at us he looks back at me. “I think we can put him down for a nap and at least have a make out session until he wakes up,” he says.

Giggling, I shake my head as I go to stand up. Only when I do, I immediately wish I hadn’t because my water broke.

“Umm, Coyote. Don’t think we’ll be having that make out session and if you want me as your wife, I guess we’ll be doing that at the hospital,” I murmur as I look down at the puddle on the floor.

A look of panic starts to come over his face, but Coyote immediately loses the look. He quickly moves into action and calls everyone. Victoria said when it was time, she’d come take care of Cody for us, but I want him at the hospital with us. I mean it’s not only his little brother’s birthday, it’s the day his daddy and I become one.

Taming the beast within the man was a fight I never expected to have, but I’ll do it again every day if need be. Coyote is mine as I’m his.

Authors Note

Dear Readers,

I hope you have enjoyed Coyote’s Story. Writing about him was fun and heart consuming. As you know Coyote’s best friend was Izzy’s brother. Well I’d written Twister’s Survival to show everyone deals with grief in some way and in doing so shows Izzy can repay Coyote in helping him as he finds he doesn’t need to be wild but merely let love in Taming Coyote. Remember grief comes in different forms for everyone. We don’t always grieve the same way.

Next up for the DRMC Originals is one you all have been waiting for, Luna’s Shadow. This is one book you won’t want to miss as we all know just whose book this is. Question is, will the darkness jump out into the light of day? Or will they be able to overcome it and let the light overcome the nightmares that are brewing?

Sincerely,

E.C.

Prologue

Izzy

There are moments you wish you could turn back time. Change the past that forges the future. To bring the ones we love back into our lives. Bring the dead back to life or do the unthinkable— take their place instead.

With each decision we make, there’s always a consequence to go with it. Just like the saying, ‘With magic, it always comes with a price’. I’ve made a lot of decisions I will always regret but there’s one that will haunt me well after the day I take my last breath.

During high school all I did was party. I was young and stupid. But honestly, what teenager didn’t party during those years? I wasn’t exactly popular, but I wasn’t a loser either. I loved to go out with my friends to one of the fields where we would light a bonfire and smoke, drink, and ride four wheelers into the night. Never once caring about shit happening.

One night, while at a party, I called my brother Chase to come pick me up. Him being the big brother that he was, agreed to come but not before lecturing me over the phone about how careless I was being. That was Chase though, always looking out for me.

I may have been a party girl, but my brother made sure I kept my grades up. “You can have a good time, Elizabeth, but you gotta know when it’s time to be serious and when not to be. You work hard, you can party hard, but there’s a fine line you have to watch out for.”

That’s what he would always tell me. I’ll never forget those words.

That night, he never showed to pick me up. I had been drunk off my ass when I finally made it home, and I didn’t pay any attention to the fact his car wasn’t in the driveway.
