Summary:

 Camille Jackson was rejected since birth over her dark skin complexion. She has grown a tough skin and doesn’t get attached to anyone because of how some people have viewed her without even getting to know her. However Camille opens her heart to a baby in need and for the first six months Camille has grown to love the baby as if she were her own. That is until the baby's biological father comes into the picture.

Hiram Whitfield Jr was brought up in one of the most well known Ku Klux Klan families in the south and as the only son he feels the pressure to carry on his family's tradition. After finishing his prison sentence all Hiram wants to do is change his life for the better and be a good father to his child. If that means being disowned by his bigoted family then so be it. Ironically enough Hiram would have never thought that Camille would be the one to be his rock and strength to do so.

I don't think that she should take the test. Or even if she did, she shouldn't tell the family. These are not nice people. Entitled much? Tough decision.

Thank you  for reading!!

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Loving this.

one thing: you kinda fudged Veles' transition from wanting her to be a slave, to accepting her as a mate. I reread, and his confession to Kleo seems like it came out of nowhere. Plus, he never says to Kora, sorry, I was wrong, you are my mate. 

So it is still nagging at me, does Veles collect all the sacrifice-girls? Or do the dragon warriors rotate? What happened to the other girls? Was Lauren a sacrifice-girl? Or how did Kleo woo her? 

Can't wait for more. It tears at me though, to advise you to take time to reread/edit.

 



Author's Response:

You are no bother, i appreciate and love your feed back because it really helps me in the long run.. With Veles he's getting there if that makes sense, he was mentally and physically tortured and i plan to expand on that, so he's kind of working on that as well expressioning himself. He does mention that he has never brought another woman to his lair even though he's been with many woman, after his ordeal being captured  it really kind shows him in a different light, but i'm working on revealing as much as i can so it can all come together full circle!!! but i will take the time and reread and edit!! Thank you so much!!

I'm willing to bet that Corrine married into her money, which explains why she's so nasty to people who aren't wealthy. Sterling seems to bea decent guy. Why'd he let his wife screw up his son like that?

and that girl needs to stop serving that boy. What would he do if she twisted her ankle and couldnt walk? Starve?

Welcome back! Long time no read! I had to reread my original comment to remind myself.

To tell the truth, I'm not so interested in the machinations of the aunt Lorraine. I am more interested in how the sister could be so bipolar. Why does she feel so powerless compared toher sister that she feels she has to do that? What broke her?

Plus, is a divorce paper signed at gunpoint still valid?

Title: Chapter 1: Sick

My further feelings:

If she and Nicolas were a 'missed connection' at a party one night, why did he never move heaven and earth to get with her the next day? The next week?

If the next time they met, his brother/friend was introducing them, why didn't he man up and say, "actually we do know each other!" And throw his hat in the ring and try to woo her away from Emery? That would've been honest and above board. There would've been a 'fair' fight. Had he lost, there would've been closure. Just the dishonesty of it rubs me the wrong way. 

So basically, he's been watching her for years, biding his time, hoping and praying for a shot. And knowing what we know now, we know that she knew this and said nothing. I don't need my heroine to be saintly, but a little straightforwardness never goes amiss... Quite the moral dilemma.
