When Nadia is handed a new novel in a series to edit, she isn't exactly thrilled. What Nadia doesn't know is that the story she'd been handed is about to come off the pages. One character in particular is not happy with the way the story is going. He's a side character name Xyle. Xyle is angry that he has been treated so poorly in the series he was written. He has a few things to say and mistakes Nadia for the author at first. Nadia has no idea what to do with this inhuman warrior that has stepped off the pages of the novel she is editing. 
     What's worse, he starts to come after her in a far different way. When Xyle realizes that if you want to stay alive you need to find a way to be a lead in this world. To him it seems obvious that Nadia is a female lead. A female lead that does not appear to have a male lead in her life. How is that not a perfect opportunity to escape his fate and get what his original author denied him? A life, a mate and even simple joys. Xyle realizes pretty quick that Nadia is going to make this hard. To bad he's already used to a hard life, and being denied. He's going to win this time, even if he has to write their fates himself into the pages of this story.

Desires of a Lead

"No." Nadia said rather softly. The tension that had been there released. Nadia didn't look at the other three. Especially Xyle, she didn't know what to think from his look a moment ago. Did he think that she wished him dead? Look, she wasn't happy with the way he had gone about this. The manipulation at being his mate, but even that she was questioning now if that was a set up from the start, and not him. She was not that cruel to send him back to die no matter the issue at hand. Nor give Lillian and Zyer a horrible sequence of events. 


"You okay?" Nadia asked looking at Jena who was leaning on the counter. She winced. 


"Well, no. However I'm not going to die I guess." There were a few tears of pain in Jena's eyes. "I feel really weak, my magic is truly gone." They all tensed again when the computer spoke.
