    About this ebook

    Can East meet West in this comedic tale of romance, mishaps, and a Demon in love with a Christmas Elf?

     

    Medjed, warrior of Osiris, half-God, Demon soldier, and rocker of the coolest hieroglyph ever—if his new blood brothers' mates were to be believed—has been unleashed on the modern world!

     

    Walking the Earth without purpose spells trouble for Medjed and his newfound friends in the Wyvern Protection Unit. The answer to this problem? Send the Ancient Egyptian deity to the North Pole! His mission was simple. Just do a little recon for his new bosses far away from the WPU base.

     

    What could go wrong?

     

    Turns out, a couple of things, actually. Like getting stuck in a blizzard with a snarky female, who turns out to be a Christmas Elf named Candy Kane. Medjed doesn't understand the sudden pull towards the strangely garbed woman, but everything in him demands he claim her as his own.

     

    It's a holiday tale like no other with an appearance from the big guy himself—that's right, Santa Claus. Only, the Egyptian demigod takes issue with some of Santa's more nefarious practices.

     

    Seriously, what was up with the whole "he sees you when you're sleeping" thing, anyway?

     

    But back to the story—

    Will Medjed claim his mate before midnight on Christmas Eve or will she disappear until Santa's magical village returns for the holidays next year?

      Wyvern Protection Unit

      Hatched in a science lab after three hundred years of waiting, these four Wyvern eggs had changed hands many times over the centuries.

      After finally being discovered by the U.S. government, sitting uncatalogued on a museum shelf, General Arthur Wessex took the hatchlings and raised the brothers as his own.

      Referred to as the brothers Wessex, these four Wyvern Shifters, the first of their kind, were named for the unique coloring of each of their eggs.

      Jasper after his opaque yellow and black marble-like egg. Heliodore after his crystal-like yellow egg. Larimar after his pale green egg. And finally, Zircon, after his light-blue pellucid egg.

      Whether man or beast, each retains hints of that color in their eyes, and sometimes, in their creatures’ scales as well.

      At the hands of their adoptive father, the brothers learned combat, stealth, and above all, honor. Together they are an elite, and secret, force working for the federal government.

      The Wyvern Protection Unit is the only one of its kind. They have sworn a duty to protect and serve wherever they are needed.

      Wyvern Protection Unit Creed

      With honor and faith, we vow to keep safe those in our charge. Our lives for theirs, until our bodies turn to ash and our fire runs cold.

      Prologue

      A re you fucking kidding me?

      Jennifer Dylluan scrubbed her face with her hands, and yes, she might’ve screamed aloud while doing so. The sound was more screech than scream, come to think of it, probably because of the enormous, ornery, and extremely orotund owl resting inside the otherwise completely agreeable female.

      What the fuck, Medjed! she snapped, but he had no reply.

      The female had called for him moments ago, but even as he stood there waiting for her to look at him once more, she seemed displeased. Her voice still echoed through the halls.

      It was, of course, his name. As the most recent member of the Wyvern Protection Unit, the only non-Wyvern to join, in fact, Medjed had wondered when he would be called to duty.

      I swear to Christ, man, you are the bane of my existence, she muttered, shaking her head. And really, that is saying something, considering I’m the liaison between the DPCA and the four worst mannered Shifters on the entire fucking planet!

      The DPCA he knew was the acronym for the Department of Paranormal Creatures and Activity, and those four Shifters who she claimed were always giving her a headache, were his new blood brothers. Jasper, Larimar, Heliodore, and Zircon Wessex of the Wyvern Protection Unit.

      But nothing could make him understand why their liaison, Ms. Jennifer Dylluan was calling for him one minute then proclaiming him top on her menace to society list, which was apparently a thing one did not wish to be on.

      "I, Warrior of the House of Osiris, Sword of the Underworld, Deliverer for the God of the Dead, Punisher of the Unworthy, Demigod, and Hero, worshipped by hundreds of thousands in the Ancient World—me, I, Medjed, am here as you have bid me, Jennifer Dylluan." He finished with a low bow before returning to his full height, which was an impressive six and a half feet.

      Debates over whether he was a Demon, or a minor God, had run rampant in the secret government office where they worked, so Medjed often took it upon himself to use as many of his titles as he could remember. But Jennifer did not seem capable of caring less. He frowned, furrowing his eyebrows as the female heaved a great sigh.

      I cannot go on like this. Not when other assignments are demanding my attention, she murmured, eyes cast at the ceiling.

      Medjed frowned thoughtfully. Jennifer was so stressed. Her animal, too. That was not good for a female. Especially not one who was a vital part of his new work and family of his heart.

      It was clear what the problem was. Jennifer Dylluan needed a mate. Medjed was willing to ease any physical aches she might have, but he wondered if perhaps one of his new Wyvern blood brothers would not be better suited. In fact, there was one particular brother who was likely the reason the poor female was having fits.

      "Ohmyfuckinggawd! He is still standing there like that," she mumbled to herself, shaking with emotion.

      Medjed frowned. The female was worrying him. The Great-horned Owl inside of her growled unhappily as her gaze flitted back to the pile of paperwork on her desk.

      My fault, right? I mean, I called in the naked ass mofo, and you know what they say, speak of the devil and he will appear, she growled some more, taking a bottle out of her bottom drawer.

      Medjed sneezed when she started spraying the floral perfume. It was simply too much for his sensitive olfactory senses.

      Naked as a jaybird. Smelling like a damned cinnamon bun. Leaving a trail of fucking sand everywhere, she muttered, moving to the closet to retrieve a broom.

      He wisely remained mute. Yes, Medjed had arrived in his usual golden splendor via sand cloud that gave way to his impressive form. It was how he always traveled.

      He waited while Jennifer swept, sprayed, and
