Well, I was going to do it some more.
I blocked and dodged, letting everyone see what she was doing to break all the rules and lots for the camera. I waited until I heard Edelman’s booming voice call over to the others that Blake was disqualified and then thumped her on the head with the hilt of my sword, knocking her out instantly.
She went down like a rock, the illegal charm showing right against her upper chest.
I smirked as I leaned over and ripped it off of her, studying it for a few moments before finding White. “Dean White, I saw this in Veritas Portas, and I’m fairly certain it was sold by a member of your council—could only be made by a member of the council. What’s it doing on a vampire councilmember’s granddaughter during a tournament?” I tossed it over and her eyes went wide the moment she caught it.
“It’s a power enhancing charm and completely illegal for any event,” she declared loudly. “It would have increased her physical stamina, strength, and endurance.”
I wrinkled up my nose. “Really? Are we sure it’s not a dud? I mean, that or Blake just really sucks.” I snorted at the pun of a vampire. I walked a few feet to where her telepathy blocking charm had fallen off and held it up for all to see, smirking up at the two councils. “Oh, and boys, next time you have a foolproof plan, maybe don’t send such a fucking moron of a pawn in.
“Seriously, you idiots and your egos just make it so much fun to do this over and over again. You cheat and cheat, and still you can’t win.” I tossed the charm up towards them, wanting to roll my eyes when several ducked as if I’d thrown a grenade. “Are you guys tired of constantly losing yet? Have you any pride left? Time to raise the white flag and just admit defeat?”
Several opened their mouths to say… A number of everything I was sure.
I didn’t give them the chance, turning on my heel and heading over to Mel and Edelman to claim my prize. I smirked at White as I went by. “How’s that for a public win? Let those fuckers deal with that flack and mocking for a while that one of theirs got kicked out of school again, and on live TV this time.”
She smothered a snort. “It’s a good win, Tamsin. It’s a good fucking win this time.”
Yeah, it was, and it gave us a bit of fuel to keep the hope we could win the fights we were fighting, as losing wasn’t an option.
The End
THANK YOU for reading this book!!
Thank you so much for coming on Tamsin’s journey with me. I woves all of you lots for your continued support and wanting more of my books. Please, please leave a review. It really helps me out to know which series people are looking for more from. And it’s encouraging to get back to series when people are excited for more. I appreciate the time it takes and hopefully you guys love Tamsin and this world as much as I loved writing the series!!
I’m sorry for the delay. Things are starting to find some level of normal (and I most definitely just jinxed that) so I’m looking at a every six weeks release schedule for the foreseeable future. BUT there’s more to come and I hope you’re as excited about that as I am.
Stay safe and kisses to everyone from Vader.
All my best,
Erin

Accidentally Wolf: Seraphine Thomas 1
Gives New Meaning To Workplace Injury
Special Agent in Charge, Seraphine Thomas, lives for her job at the FBI. One of the youngest female agents with her own team, she thrives in undercover work to make the city she loves safer. But Sera’s on-track life is thrown into chaos when she’s attacked during a bust gone bad and is left figuring out what it means to be a werewolf.
Right away, she learns that she’s more powerful and able to do things that she shouldn’t be able to do so quickly after her transition. The rules of her old life don’t seem to apply to much now that she’s a shifter, and knowing who she can trust is even more complicated.
When she’s transferred to a special branch of the FBI made up of paranormals policing others of their kind and given a promotion, things start looking up—until her abnormal level of power creates a list of enemies for her before she’s even learned who her allies are.
Upended Life: Artemis University 1
My name is Tamsin Vale and my life is about to get real… Really complicated and ridiculously dangerous. Which is almost funny given at nineteen I already know too much of the darkness of the world and people, the secrets they keep.
Or so I thought.
Turns out those quirky abilities I’ve been keeping secret expose me to a world I didn’t know existed. Sure, I knew I wasn’t human—but how exactly do I find out more without ending up in the wrong hands?
And I’m not so sure I’m in the right hands now given some of the reactions to finding me. They say I’m the last fairy. I’m not sure I should trust them when their thoughts are mostly of power and how to use me.
But I’m also not sure I have much of a choice. My powers are dangerous and I don’t know how to use them. They promise to teach me what I need to know
