I need a hero, I'm holding
out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
Bonnie Tyler got it so right. My favourite heroes are creatures of
the night, Vampires, Werewolves, Fae, Gods, and Demons. That makes them fast,
violent and way larger than life.
Alpha heroes are the stuff of romantic fantasy. They might run wolf
packs with a will of iron and a touch of humour, or walk with Gods, but
everything pales when they meet their one, true love.
I love my werewolves, Caleb the Cold, and Joel Blackheart, and my
Fae, Leonidas stole my heart. (Or maybe it was his mischievous baby dragon that
sucked me in.) To me though, Jase – from Giving it Up for the Gods – is
special.
