(The Demon’s Mythical Birds is a short story and part of a series. It is book five in the Venetian Hills series. The Venetian Hills series is directly tied into the Asphalt Bay Pack series so it is recommended that you read books 1-9 of Asphalt Bay and books 1-4 of Venetian Hills before starting this one.) Belial is the captain of an investigative special-ops team that works for the Paranormal Council and one of the seven princes of Hell. His team has been working to track down and dismantle Carmine Verucci’s labs alongside the Asphalt Bay Pack and the Venetian Hills Pack and Coven. With Carmine Verucci dead and his accomplices either dead or captured, Belial and his team have been given some much-needed time off. Time Belial plans to spend wooing the men he suspects may be his mates. But, he’ll have to wait until one of them recovers from injuries sustained in battle before he can pursue either of them. Ajax Chinix and Coal Phoenix are phoenix shifters looking for their third. Ajax is an ice phoenix while Coal is a fire phoenix. Leaving home to search for their third was their only option since no one in any of the phoenix clans were meant to be theirs. Much to their families’ disappointment. After being captured and locked away in a lab the two are hesitant to leave pack lands in order to restart their search now that they’re free. When Ajax is injured during the battle with the dark coven and a demon jumps in to help, Coal realizes their search is over. However, with Ajax on a long road to recovery, Coal’s focus isn’t on the demon meant to be the final piece to their mating puzzle but is instead on the man he loves. When someone from the phoenixes’ past shows up in Venetian Hills looking to claim what isn’t theirs Belial will stop at nothing to make sure that doesn’t happen. Will he succeed in protecting what’s his or will he die trying? ( Contains explicit language, mpreg elements, and graphic sexual content. Not recommended for those under the age of 18.) Reading 1.
