Page Brief ~ Unapologetically Us

Welcome to 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!!!!! *I might be a little excited and hyper. ROFLAMO*

This is a Page Brief that’s new and never posted anywhere else. Yep new and never posted anywhere else. It’s being posted for the first time as part of the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!

Join me daily here on the blog for next Page Brief. There’s also something special for the last day of August 2026 as a wrap up for the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition. 🙂

*holding up a glass of champagne* Wheeee…onto today’s 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition Page Brief!!!

Today’s Page Brief features characters from Animal Instincts, Legend Cove Book #3. Enjoy!

From time to time there’s multi-part Page Brief’s that go together. I think of it as a Page Brief Serial and I name them. The below Page Brief Serial Temptation Maneuvers features the books at the time I wrote these Page Brief’s that were available in my Legend Cove series. Eventually when books are released in the Legend Cove series an Page Brief might be written and if it is it will be added to the Temptation Maneuvers Page Brief Serial. So this Page Brief Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).

Temptation Maneuvers is a multi-part Page Brief Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Legend Cove series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).

This might be a rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

Jaden mirrored Synda’s movements. They flowed together in a beautiful dance that would take out any opponent. He moved the other way and she did the opposite and then they came together and moved as one.

“You know if anyone saw us when we said we would be relaxing and instead we’re here training they would think these two don’t know how to relax.” Synda laughed. “That’s to show you they don’t know us.”

“Those that do know us would understand.” Jaden continued his movements matching hers. “Besides we don’t really care what others think.”

“True. That’s what makes you a good match for me.” Synda winked.

“Although it took some convincing for you to get that.”

“I’m never going to live that down.”

“You’re trying to outmaneuver me and sacrificing for everyone.” Jaden glanced at her pointedly.

“Yeah yeah. I’ve heard it many times since. No one is letting it go.” Synda shrugged. “I figure let you all get it out your system and eventually it’ll fade into distant memory.”

Jaden didn’t respond to that or correct her wrong assumption. Instead he focused on now. The training together was enjoyment, preparedness and just them. He knew the more prepared they were the more they both could relax. They would face whatever came together as a united pair.

“I’m enjoying making a home with you here in Legend Cove.” Synda said.

Jaden smiled pleased. For her to say that they had come a long way. Synda had experienced a lot of loss and was used to sacrificing for others. She didn’t think of herself first but he slowly was getting her to see that she was just as important. That she didn’t have to do everything on her own. She was unlearning behaviors that she had built up over years. He knew it would take time and he was willing to do it.

“I’m enjoying being your home. I will always be by your side.” Jaden vowed.

Synda inclined her head. “When we’re done training for the day what do you want to do?”

“How about a little bit of hide and seek?” Jaden smirked. “You use your various shifter sides to track me. There might be something for you if you can find me.”

“Why do you sound so excited?” Synda’s eyes flashed in challenge. “You must think I won’t be able to find you.”

“You can try.” Jaden replied.

“Accepted.” Synda laughed. “A little training and some hide and seek with very interesting stakes.”

“A day like this is unapologetically us.” Jaden nodded.

Tashana reclined on the blanket in her backyard. She appreciated the silence. It’d been a busy few weeks and she needed time to herself.

“Pssstttt.”

She glanced at where the sound came from. When she spotted him she smiled at how he was trying to be all incognito. It was so not his way.

She wasn’t in the mood to move or yell so he could hear her where he was across the yard.

“Why are you disturbing me?” She spoke in his mind.

“So we can escape before someone comes looking for us.” Sanjay came toward her.

The effortless power of his movements made her breath catch. No matter how long they were together she would always desire him.

“I’m not hiding to do what I plan for today. You know my plan for today. Relax.” Tashana settled against the blanket. “This blanket and I have a date. A serious one to get to know each other better.”

Sanjay lay down beside her and cupped her cheek. “It’s been a few weeks of chaos.”

“Don’t remind me.” She leaned against his hand cupping her cheek. “I swear none of them has any sense. Why do they want to create such chaos?”

“They are pain in the asses.” Sanjay sighed. “Navigating so many egos is a delicate balance.”

“Give me a rip-roaring fight any day than political bullshit.” Tashana blew out breath. “No discussing the chaos. At least not today. Today is about relaxing.”

“You think you’ll get that here.” Sanjay sounded doubtful.

Tashana knew why. There had been chaos but also boundaries being ignored.

“They now understand boundaries.” Tashana smiled and knew it was evil.

“What did you do?”

She ignored his suspiciousness. “Just explained what it is, they needed to abide by it and so on.”

Sanjay still didn’t look convinced.

“Fine. A few threats and examples of those threats were given.” Tashana chuckled. “Some believed me but others not so much. But in the end I got my point across to respect boundaries.”

“That’s good.” Sanjay sighed. “They really need to learn to work together.”

“Yep. But it’s like they don’t hear each other. Or they have selective hearing so they don’t hear each other.” Tashana snorted. “Or a mixture of all of the above.”

“Yeah. At least they now understand and will hopefully respect boundaries.” The lack of belief was plain in his tone.

“I don’t care if they respect that for each other. But they sure as hell will mine.” Tashana smacked her fist against the palm of her hand. “I’m done playing nice. They better respect my boundaries. I’m done with the chaos they are doing.”

Tashana heard a sound. With a graceful movement she rolled over then touched the ground in front of her. She raised her one hand palm open straight out. Drawing on her Nefer Guardian powers, Tashana felt the power swell and lashed out. She heard and felt it connect. Then they were alone again.

“That was awesome.” Sanjay chuckled.

“I believe in reinforcement. I did tell them to respect my boundaries. Today’s is I’m off and not to be disturbed.” Tashana stated.

“I know not to mess with you so you don’t have to do reinforcement of boundaries.”

“I’d be gentler with you for my reinforcement of boundaries.” Tashana paused. “Maybe.”

Sanjay chuckled again and kissed her. Tashana leaned into him. She sent another burst of power over his shoulder. Again it hit. The new target left. She figured there would be various people who would test her. They would learn through reinforcement of boundaries.
