Goddess of Love
Authors: Dixie Lynn Dwyer
The Men of Five-0 #6
Brothers of Were, Goddess of Love
Orion and Palidor Venificus, members of the Brothers of Were, are on the hunt for rogue wolves killing their people. Searching for their lost brother, Draco, they come across Ariella Crimson in danger of being attacked. They remember her as a child, keeping watch as their parents visited. The Venificus, McFay, Crimson, and Sinclaire packs are well connected. Ariella’s all grown up, and their wolves are very interested.
Being a Fae and Were, and having some plans of her own, Ariella uses magic to keep her intended mates at bay. She’s twenty-two, and not exactly ready to settle down. But once she becomes the hunted, and her special abilities tune her into what is about to happen, she allows her mates to claim her. She puts her own life in danger in order to locate Draco and will need all the power of their love and connection to save their pack territory from annihilation.
This is only the beginning, and Ariella’s discovery is sure to change Were history for all of time.

Dear Readers,
I hope you enjoy this first of three books in the crossover series.
Many of you have read and e-mailed me about my Were series I started as a new author with Siren. Your requests have not fallen on deaf ears. May you enjoy these three mini-stories following Five-O
Goddess of the Circle, and the new adventures of the children of those characters in the Were series you love so much. They are all grown up now, ready to take on the challenges of the world, and fulfill each of their destinies.
Happy reading.
Hugs!

Love does not always come softly, tied up neatly in a bow like
something of perfection. Love sometimes comes in tattered pieces,
taking the power and commitment of two, three, even four people to
pull together and combine their strength. In some very special cases,
it takes a bit of magic. A higher power. A deeper connection to earth,
to all things living and un-living. To reach that point of realization to
achieve that ultimate connection of true love, is a battle in itself. Not
many can succeed. But those who do, hold the power of their destiny
in their own hands. But the evil breathing down their necks, the black
magic lingering in the distant winds waiting for them to error in their
ways could ultimately be their demise. Who shall survive against such
evil? Only those who are pure of heart, who can open themselves up
to the power of love.

Charity stared out into the bright beautiful night. She was restless, and so it seemed were many of the wolf packs as their howling and excitement filled the darkness. The night of the full moon was

approaching, and with it would come many changes. She sensed the foreboding, yet wasn’t certain of the outcome. The Goddesses had not revealed much. Charity’s concern was of her son, Draco. It had been nearly five years since his disappearance. She knew that she couldn’t use her powers to find him, or at minimum ensure his safety. It was his destiny, his purpose to find himself and to drift from his brothers.
Orion and Palidor had been called to assist in the special organization, the Brothers of Were. They, too, now grown men, were warriors of the Goddesses and had to find themselves and train for what was to come.
She swallowed hard. Accepting such fate was not easy for a mother. She loved her children with all her heart and soul.
Although they wanted to remain in the vicinity of the estate and work with their fathers, Maximus, Luther, and Dante, they had received the special calling. Charity sighed, gripping the bars on the balcony railing. She feared for their lives, for their futures, and their bond as triplets. They were going to be challenged, and with that challenge would come difficult times for their family and close friends. Charity thought of Lexi and Antoinette. Their bond was still strong as ever, yet a dark power lurked somewhere around the families. She closed her eyes, and again thought of Draco.
Wherever you are, son, know that I love you. You are strong, and
you are capable of so much good. Do not allow any darkness to
penetrate your soul, or take you away from your rightful place on the
throne.
Strong arms wrapped around her, making her shutter in surprise.
She was so lost in thought she hadn’t realized that Maximus approached. The feel of his warm lips against her neck, and his large firm hand cupping her breast, instantly eased her mind.
“I was looking for you. Why did you leave our bed?” he asked, kissing along her shoulder, making her belly quiver, her nipples tighten, and her pussy swell with need. After years of marriage and

lovemaking, after their children were fully grown, she still craved her mates like a youthful lover.
She covered his hands and leaned back against him as she tilted her head to give him better access to her neck.
“I couldn’t sleep.”
He paused. “Something’s wrong?” She heard his concern.
Rightfully so. Being mated to the Chosen One led to adventurous circumstances. She chuckled.
“My heart is heavy, Maximus. There is something coming. I feel it, yet the Goddesses are not giving me any sign of what.”
“Then you must wait, and we will be ready. Perhaps it is the fact that Orion and Palidor will be in the area this weekend. We haven’t seen them in two years’ time. Their positions are so important to all of us, and all the many members of this realm and other realms.”
“I yearn to see them. I know that they are providing a great service to our cause. They have faced many dangers, and have had to deal with so much. They still concern themselves with finding Draco.”
Maximus hugged her snuggly. “Perhaps they will be successful?
You know better than I do that Draco will one day return to us and his rightful place on the Venificus throne. Luther, Dante, and I are getting older, and our sons will need to take our places soon.”
“Who is getting older?” Dante asked as he and Luther joined them out on the balcony.
Charity turned toward her mates. Their bare chests, large muscles, and handsome features ignited the same response in her as Maximus’s approach.
“Our mate says that there is something dark coming. Charity worries about Draco, Orion, and Palidor,” Maximus said, as Luther pulled her into his arms and hugged her to him. Dante pressed a hand to her back.
“We all wish for Draco’s safe return. I’m certain that he is fine,”
Luther said.

“I hope so. My visions are getting stronger and stronger. I fear that he will face some kind of challenge, and everything in my being indicates that he will need not only the love and support of his family, but the bond of his brothers. I pray to the Goddesses that he chooses correctly.” She closed her eyes and absorbed Luther’s embrace, as well as Maximus’s and Dante’s presences. The bond they shared was strong, but the black power in the distance held strength, too.
Be
resilient, my son, wherever you are.

“I need you and Orion to head out to the west end. A set of rogue wolves, responsible for the recent rampage in nearby pack villages, were last seen there,” Brutas, one of their many commanders, told them.
“Sir, the west end is already in Venificus territory. Have our fathers been notified?” Orion asked, instantly sounding concerned.
