Peri has been running since she was fifteen – using her magic to stay safe. 'They' can track her magic tho, so she has to use it sparingly. In Vegas, for a cash in hand job, and things turn nasty! She knows the amount of magic she would have to use to escape unscathed would bring 'them' right to her.

Before she can use the vast magic required two males appear and aid her. One a wolf, one an ancient vampire.

Josef, the vampire, and Gabe, the wolf, are more than a little interested in this skinny girl. What ensues shocks both of the strong males – this girl is more than a stray, more than a witch – it looks like she is a mate – for both of them!?

Will Peri stay? Will they keep her safe? Who, if any, of the two will she choose? Just how much power does this stripling of a girl have locked inside her?

EXCERPT

Gabe looked at his friend and gave a lopsided grin. “What do you think, Jo, want to help a lady in distress?”

Josef sighed. “This is a new suit, Gabe, do you know how much it cost?” Josef was fingering the material of his made-to-measure suit and frowning.

Gabe laughed. “Come on, live a little!” Gabe chuckled and took off towards the girl, pulling to a stop behind her. She must’ve heard him because her head swung around, and he could see the worry in her eyes, eyes that he almost fell into. Shit, she was gorgeous.

“No need to worry, thought you could do with a hand,” Gabe said, a cheeky grin on his face.

Josef appeared next to him and stared at the men in front. Shit, he was probably going to work up a sweat. His new silk shirt would be ruined.

Blurb/Synopsis:

Peri has finally stopped running and found safety with Gabe and Josef... her Wolf and her Vampire. Now she is getting strong, physically and magically, and she is ecstatic with her two mates. She is not about to let anyone take that away and she surprises even herself with her power.

However a psycho sect has been hunting her for over six years and they are closing in. Her own father is the leader of the sect, but she is more than willing to do whatever she can to take him down. Destroy him for everything he is, everything he does, before he does to others what he did to her.

With an ancient Vampire and a powerful Wolf by her side she just can't fail ... can she?

EXCERPT

Josef poured a large measure of his best whisky and gave it to Ronan, as he moved past to sit on his own chair. He kept his eyes on his young Vampire, well, young compared to him. Ronan was over three hundred years old, a baby compared to Josef.

“So guys, I was in the area...”

Gabe snorted. “Yeah, right. I’m sure your office is in Denver, or thereabouts.”

“Okay, you got me, I was...intrigued...yes that’s the word, intrigued by what happened in San Francisco, and the information that you had a mate – to both of you. That was something I just had to see for myself, a mate to both a Vampire and a Wolf? Now I see you sitting here with the lovely Peri on your lap. Well, I have to say Wolf, I’ve never seen you looking happier, and you are the most beautiful Witch I've ever come across.” Ronan ended with a wide smile, his gaze still locked on the female on Gabe’s knee.

Gabe did something that none of them expected...he growled, low, deep down in his throat and gave a feral snarl to go along with the growl.

Peri looked up into his face, saw the beast inside attempting to get out, and the struggle her Wolf was having. She placed one of her hands on the side of his face, caressing it softly, trying to calm his beast.

Blurb/Synopsis:

Peri has finally defeated her own father, the psycho leader of a sect that has plagued her since childhood. Now she looks forward to a life she never thought she'd have, in love with both Josef and Gabe. As the three of them prepare for their future , they become involved in helping their friends Kyle and Sabrina go on the run, tracking down a kidnapped child and advising the supernatural cop Ronan.

It's an exciting life for Peri, being the mate of a Vampire and a Wolf! Unknown to them, the magical sect has gained a new leader. Even more vicious than her father, its only a matter of time before this maniac rips apart Peri, Josef and Gabe's world...

EXCERPT

“I see, so I assume I’m in danger...again?” Her voice was oddly calm as she spoke and she wasn’t sure who that surprised more, the men sitting at the table or her.

Josef agreed. “We have to assume that, anything else would be folly, so we’ll have to make sure you’re safe. We will work together, hopefully Ronan or my own investigations will find this person and the threat will be eliminated. We will keep you safe, little Witch.”

Gabe piped up. “You’re damn right! I’ve had just about enough of this fucking sect! If I get the chance, the guy is going down...and not getting back up. Don’t you worry, baby, don’t you worry at all.” Gabe was smiling, a huge smile, but she saw the worry in his eyes.

“This is so...so...irritating!” she spat out and Gabe laughed, a full-on belly laugh. She frowned, wondering what he found so funny.

“Here, have some juice.” Josef poured her some more OJ as they both stared at Gabe.

“That’s priceless, irritating, you must be rubbing off on her, Jo! It’s irritating – not this is fucked up or I’m furious, angry, raging. Nope, she says she’s irritated. That is so one of your words.” Gabe snickered again, pointing at Josef.

Just like that the tension was broken, Peri laughing, too, throwing a punch in her Wolf’s direction.

CHARACTER INTERVIEW

Name(s)

Josef, Peri and Gabe from The Witch, The Wolf and The Vampire series by A K Michaels

Where are you from?

Josef:- We live in Las Vegas, USA.

How did you meet?

Peri:- I was literally living in my car, using my magic to hunt down bail jumpers and got into a teeny bit of trouble and the guys appeared and helped me out.

Josef:- I remember it rather differently, the trouble was a little more than ‘teeny’ but yes we helped Peri with something and she was hurt so we brought her home.

Gabe:- Hey! It was me that wanted to go help her. You wanted to walk on past, Josef, you didn’t want to waste your fancy new suit. As soon as I saw her, smelled her, I knew she was special. Very very special.

Were you surprised to find that Peri was, in fact, your mate?

Josef:- I was more than a little taken aback. It’s a unique situation we are in but I wouldn’t change anything at all.

Gabe:- Surprised doesn’t even come close! I was freaking out for a bit ‘cause I was worried she’d only want one of us and I was going out of my mind worrying it wouldn’t be me! Sorry, Josef, but that’s the truth. It woulda killed me.

Josef:- I understand perfectly, Wolf, I also had such feelings and worried she would prefer you. We are fortunate that did not happen though.

Gabe:- Hell yeah, I still get cold sweats sometimes just thinking about ‘what if’.

Peri:- (Pressing a kiss to Gabe’s lips) Hmm, don’t think of ‘what if’ honey, you have me, all of me and we’re together so please don’t worry.

Gabe:- (pulling Peri closer and nuzzling her neck) Okay, babe, okay.

Peri – are the guys untidy and if so how do you deal with the mess?

Peri:- Oh I don’t have that problem, well mostly note! Josef is very tidy, though Gabe not so much but he’s learning!

Gabe:- Hey! I’m not that bad!

Peri:- I know, baby, but you do sometimes forget to pick up your clothes.

Gabe:- That’s only when you’ve filled my mind with other things, Peri, ya know, when you’ve taken me to bed!

Peri:- Gabe! We agreed to keep this interview clean!

Guys, would you ever have anyone else join your little trio?

Josef:- Absolutely not!

Gabe:- No!

Peri:- I’m perfectly happy with my men. We don’t need anyone else.

Peri – Do you have a favorite between Josef and Gabe?

Peri:- No! What kind of question is that? I love my mates both equally!

Do you have a good ‘working relationship’ with Ava?

Josef:- Hmm, mostly, yes, though she does, sometimes ask an awful lot of us. We do have lives after all.

Peri:- Yes, I would love to visit her in Scotland!

Gabe:- Hell yeah, she brought our little Witch to us and I can’t thank her enough for that!

Peri – who’s the most ‘Alpha’ between your men?

Peri:- That’s a very hard question as both of them are VERY Alpha but in different ways. I think it’s a tie between them on that score.

Gabe, would you ever consider going back to live within a Pack?

Gabe:- No, I could never see myself living with a Pack again. Peri and Josef are my Pack and they’re all I need.

Josef – you are a billionaire, would you be willing to give it all up for love?

Josef:- If you’d asked me that a few years ago I would’ve told you not to be ridiculous, of course I wouldn’t. Now? Well, I have to say I would give up everything in a heartbeat for Peri.

What do you think of the way Ava has portrayed you in the series?

Josef:- I think she’s got me a little too formal. I’m not quite as bad as she depicts.

Gabe:- Yeah, you are, Josef! You are getting better but I think that’s Peri’s influence. Before our love joined us you are the most reserved person I knew!

Peri:- You certainly have changed, Josef. All for the better! I think Ava got us spot on, warts and all.

Ava – do you have a favorite out of these three?

Ava:- Heck, you want me to answer that? In front of them? No, I don’t, well maybe, Josef is kinda hot!

Peri:- Ava! I’ve told you before, he is mine!

Ava:- Yeah, I know, don’t turn me into a frog, Peri! I’m just saying.

Peri:- Hmm, okay, I’ll let you off but only because you’re right. He is hot!

Josef, Gabe – do you have a favorite outfit that you absolutely love Peri in?

Gabe:- F**k! You really want to know, then it has to be the little red, silk, number she wore when we first, ya know! She was like a goddess in that! We still have it too and I get her to wear it whenever…

Peri:- Gabe! Shush!

Josef:- Keep that thought to yourself, young Wolf! For me it was the first time I saw her in an evening gown. She was a vision of beauty personified. I can still see her whenever I close my eyes. She took my breath away.

Peri – same question, what do you love to see Josef and Gabe dressed in?

Peri:- Well my guys are so different, Gabe is usually in jeans but when we all went out to dinner the first time and I saw him in a suit I have to say he made my knees weak. He was so handsome. Josef is usually in his hand made suits, which I love, but the first time I saw him dressed in jeans. Gosh! The way they hugged his …! Oh, maybe I shouldn’t go on, it’s private. All I’ll say is he really fills out a pair of jeans very well!

And now some questions posted by readers:-

Tina Hart - Has Peri really found peace with what her mother and father did to her when she was young before she fled, and also, has she found peace with what she had to do in the warehouse

Peri:- Good question, Tina. Yes, I wouldn’t say I’ve found utter peace but I’ve certainly come to terms with it. The hardest thing was the warehouse. That haunted me for some time but my men pulled me through and out the other side, mostly in one piece.

Kat Smith - Did you ever envision yourself loving 2 men when you were younger? Doesn't it get annoying having 2 men leave up the toilet seat?

Peri:- Another good question, Kat. The truth is I never thought I would ever find love, far less from two men. I fought just to survive so finding love, in any form, wasn’t something I ever thought of. Regarding the toilet seat – I don’t have that problem. The main bath is ‘mine’ in that department and the men use their respective ones in their old rooms. We have cleaners that come in each day so I don’t have to do that.

Julie Rainforth - Josef, Peri said that she would like a job eventually, to 'earn her keep'. In light of one of her birthday presents, would you consider opening a homeless shelter and letting her be in charge?

Josef:- Peri can do whatever she wishes to do. I’ll fund it, no matter what it is. However, I’m sure she’s going to be kept busy with ‘other things’.

Heather Fortman - How do the two guys live together? I know it's difficult to have another female in the house personally...

Josef:- I have to admit when I first took in the young Wolf I found it rather difficult. However, he grew on me and I work long hours too, so that probably helps. I have no idea why we get along so well, maybe it’s because he is one of the very few people that has ever been able to make me smile. Until we met Peri, of course.

Gabe:- Yeah, it was hard to begin with. We butted heads a few times at first. He’s a strong Alpha male and I don’t do well with that. That was how he met me in first place, after all. But, somehow we just kinda clicked and got on and I could never imagine him not being in my life. He won’t say it, but I will, I love him. Not as much as Peri, but I do love him.

Josef:- Wolf! Don’t get all sentimental!

Gabe:- Hey, it’s the truth, old man, and ya know it!

Charmaine Panteli To Gabe and Josef do you ever get jealous about having to share your mate. I mean I understand that you all have a very close relationship but does it get difficult if you want alone time just you and Peri

Josef:- I do not get jealous, I get pleasure just from seeing Peri with Gabe. If we wish some time alone then there are always times when it can be achieved. Gabe does like to go for long runs, or work out in the gym, so I can have Peri to myself then.

Gabe:- It’s kinda weird ‘cause I thought I would be, jealous that is. But, I’m not. When Josef kisses Peri it makes me happy, weird but that’s how it is. Like Jo says, we can always get alone time if we want it. Josef works so I have Peri all to myself when he’s doing that and I usually do my gym work or runs when Josef isn’t working so he can have time with Peri.

Jenn Oleksik To Josef, how did you feel when you realised that Peri loved Gabe too, and the first time she made love with him?

Josef:- I felt relief. That’s the true emotion that engulfed me entirely. It meant we didn’t have to have her pick one of us over the other. The first time I saw them together brought me great joy and, I have to admit, it affected me in a primal manner. That’s all I have to say on that!

Sydney Leffler Hopke Peri how does it feel to love 2 men?

Peri:- To be honest it felt a little bit strange at first but only for a short while. After all, I’d never been in love before so I didn’t know what to expect or what was the ‘norm’. All I know is that my heart belongs to both of them and I know theirs belong to me.

Dzintra Sullivan - Josef.... Why haven't you escaped Ava's dungeon and found your way to Australia... Lol

Josef:- Hello, Dzintra, I’m sorry but the dungeon is a place where even I cannot break out of! Ava uses some form of ancient magic to keep us there from time to time. If we are not in Vegas then we reside in the dungeon, in a deep sleep.
