Rise and shine, readers!
It’s been a while since I’ve interviewed any of my characters. I promise I’m going to get back to doing that. It’s so much fun, and you all seem to enjoy it. Today, I’m interviewing the hero and heroine from my reverse harem romance, VAYN. Please note that this interview will contain spoilers. If you’d like to read Vayn before reading this interview, here’s the link.

Before we get to the interview, let me tell you a little about the book.
The Fallen….
Because of my sins, I’ve had my wings clipped, and I’ve been banished to purgatory. For centuries, I’ve endured this punishment while trying not to take my anger out on the humans responsible for my downfall. When a way to regain my wings is presented to me, I agree. I can never return to Paradise. But I’ll do anything to soar again. To achieve this goal, I must become the guardian of a very curvy half-human.
Done. I’ll do it as long as my charge doesn’t talk to me, touch me, or bother me in any way. What I don’t expect is to find myself longing for those very things the longer I watch over her. I will never change my views of humans, but one taste of one shouldn’t hurt. Right?
– Vayn
The temptation…
Though magic flows through my veins, it hasn’t presented itself. To everyone at Shadow Bound Academy, I’m a dud and don’t belong amongst them. I have no fangs, no claws, and no magical abilities. The only reason I’m fighting to stay there is to protect students like me – the cursed descendants of the Fallen who haven’t come into their powers yet.
If that means I must be guarded by one of the most depraved Fallens and his shadows because I’m too weak to protect myself, I will. What I won’t do is be charmed by my depraved guardian, no matter how tempting he and his four shadows are. And they’re very tempting.
Okay, maybe one little taste of their depravity wouldn’t hurt. Right?
– Destiny
Siren: Now that you know a little bit about the characters and their situation, let’s get to the interview. I’m Siren, and I’m thrilled to be sitting down with Vayn and Destiny, whose steamy and entertaining story has taken readers by storm. Vayn, Destiny, thank you for joining me today. Let’s jump right into the interview.
Vayn, you were ordered by Alyk to guard Destiny. In the beginning, you refused to be her Guardian. Why?
Vayn (Nervously glances at Destiny, who is giving him the side eye.): Why are you bringing up the past, Siren? Are you trying to get me in trouble?
Siren (Laughing.) Of course not. But readers want to know what you were thinking when you turned down the chance to Guard your mate.
Vayn: Honestly, I had no idea she was my mate at that time. Plus, I had my Shadow Guardian duties to attend to.
Destiny: Lies! That’s not the reason. He thought I was a dud. Therefore, he didn’t want anything to do with me.
Vayn: I was a jerk. I was wrong. I’ve apologized hundreds of times. And you’ve forgiven me, right?
Destiny: I have. But I still remember. And let’s not lie to Siren.
Vayn: Alright. No lies. I thought she was a weakling, and I felt guarding her would be a waste of my time and skills.
Destiny: And this dud ended up saving your life.
Vayn: That’s right. My mate isn’t a dud. She’s the most powerful descendant I know. And I worship the ground she walks on.
Destiny (Smiling.) You say the sweetest things.
Vayn: I plan to say more sweet things when I get your sexy a$$ home.
Siren (Clears throat.) Save that for later. Please.
Vayn: I apologize. Sometimes I forget my mate and I aren’t alone.
Siren: No problem. This next question is for your mate, Destiny, how did you feel when you first found out Vayn was your Guardian?
Destiny: I was happy at first. Then, when he showed up and watched me from the shadows, I became nervous. I hated that he saw me failing in combat class. When I realized he had no intention of actually guarding me or of helping me at all, I got pissed off. Luckily, his shadows were there for me. They made my classes not so horrible.
Vayn: I’m sorry I wasn’t able to do that for you, mate.
Destiny: It’s okay. Our relationship started off rocky. But I’m glad it went the way it did. It helped us both appreciate each other more. Don’t you think so?
Vayn: I do. Getting to know you has been the highlight of my life. There’s never a dull day with you by my side.
Destiny: There you go, saying sweet stuff again.
Vayn: Nothing I say is as sweet as you. You taste as sweet…
Siren: Okay, guys. I’m still here! Vayn, stop touching her. Seriously, guys! Let’s get back to the interview. This question is for both of you, Describe the first time you realized you were in love with each other. Hey, focus!
Vayn: This interview isn’t over yet? Damn. Uh. Okay, when did I realize I loved my Destiny? Oh, that’s easy. It was when I walked her back to her dorm room. After she went into her room, I stood outside her door…
Destiny: Like a stalker.
Vayn: Like a mate. I stood outside her door like a concerned mate. When I heard her groaning in pain, I teleported into her bathroom, masking my scent and appearance so she wouldn’t see me. It was then, when I saw her in pain, that I realized I wanted to make sure she never felt that way again. Even though I still fought the mating pull, it was then that I realized this was the female I was destined to be with, that I was destined to protect.
Destiny: Really?
Vayn: Really, love.
Destiny: Awww. Well, I realized I loved you and your shadows the day I gave Charm my last name.
Vayn: Are you saying you fell in love with Charm first?
Destiny: Huh?
Vayn: You heard me! Did you fall in love with Charm first?
Destiny: I can’t hear you. You’re breaking up. Siren, next question, please.
Siren: I got you, sis! Last question. Share a funny or embarrassing moment from your relationship that still makes you laugh or cringe.
Destiny: That’s easy. It was the day I dream-traveled into Vayn’s condo by mistake and saw him, uh, relieving himself of stress.
Siren: What?
Destiny: He was, uh, stroking himself.
Vayn: Did you have to tell her about that?
Destiny: I just answered the question honestly. Now, it’s your turn.
Vayn: My answer is the same as yours. Are we done yet, Siren? I think my mate needs a spanking for being naughty.
Siren: Yes. Yes. I don’t want to interrupt your um, private time. And there you have it, readers, a glimpse into the captivating love story of Vayn and Destiny.
