Tuesday Teaser for Brave!!

Tuesday Teaser!!

Today's teaser is from Brave, Book 4 in The Onyx Wolves Series. This bit is after Parker meets Jake's brothers Kane, Max, Flynn, Dane, Larik, and Gavin, who are also shape-shifting bears. Parker already met Kane briefly in Book 3 but Kane has more of a presence in this book. I'm nearly finished writing this book so watch closely for more teasers and a release date. Enjoy!!

****

“We need to go, now.” Kane stresses as he runs into my room with me and Jake.

I shove the remaining clothes into my bag before turning towards Kane as Jake grabs my other bag from the bed.

“We’re ready.” I reply.

“Good, the rest of your pack are in the truck with my brothers.” Kane replies.

“Lucas…?” I whisper.

“He’s with your silver wolf. He hasn’t let go of him.” Kane replies.

I nod and then glance around at my room before moving forward. Together Kane, Jake, and I run downstairs before we exit the house.

I run towards the garage and grab the keys to my bike and then to my jeep.

“You can take the jeep, Kane.” I state while tossing him the keys. “Jake and I will take my bike.”

Without saying a word Kane grabs my bags from me and Jake before jumping into the jeep while Jake climbs onto my bike. I slip on behind him and then hand him the keys.

The engine roars to life before Jake backs us out of the garage.

Kane stops the jeep near his truck where the others were. Dane, Gavin, and Larik jump out of the truck before getting into the jeep.

Seconds later we take off down the driveway.

The gate opens at an agonizingly slow pace but once it’s open we ride through.

My heart beats wildly in my chest as I tighten my grasp around Jake’s waist as he speeds down the roads, following the jeep and truck.

We don’t make it far before two bikes join us.

They had hunters in full gear riding them.

“Jake…” I stress nervously as they gain ground on us.

“Do you trust me?” Jake asks.

“Yes.” I reply quickly.

He grunts and then revs the bike to go faster. He pulls next to the truck and then glances over to Flynn and Max in the back of the truck.

“I want you to jump, Parker.” Jake states loudly.

Without hesitating I move on the back of the bike. I stand up and then wait for Flynn to hold his hands out towards me.

“Now, Parker…” Jake commands as he moves closer to the truck.

I leap and grab for Flynn.

He manages to grab me before pulling me into the back of the truck. He holds onto me tightly as Jake slows down. Once he’s next to the jeep he moves to stand up on the bike.

Dane reaches out for him and Jake leaps towards the jeep.

My heart nearly skips a beat as he grabs hold of the jeep’s side. He slips and nearly falls but Dane manages to pull him inside.

The bike wobbles for a brief moment before rolling. The hunters behind it don’t get the chance to swerve out of the way as my bike comes their way.

In seconds they hit the road causing pieces of twisted metal and shattered plastic to skid across the road along with the four bodies of the hunters.

“Damn…” Flynn whispers as I bury my face against his chest.

Even though they had been hell-bent on killing us I still didn’t like the thought of taking a life.

There was no way they could have survived a wreck like that and if they had then they were in one hell of a world of hurt.

After a few moments Flynn pushes me to sit down between him and Max.

“You’ve got guts, Wolf.” Flynn states. “I’ll give you that.”

I remain quiet as I watch Jake now sitting in the passenger seat of the jeep behind us.

He gives me a reassuring smile while Flynn wraps his arm around my shoulders.

“Jake is tougher than you think, Sweetheart. That little jump was nothing for him.” Flynn states before snorting. “I imagine that you taking that leap scared him more than anything.”

“His jump scared me.” I reply.

“You really care about him, don’t you?” Flynn replies.

“I do.” I answer honestly.

Even though everything between me and Jake wasn’t real we had become close. I cared about him and the way that he was looking at me now said that he cared about me too.

Happy Reading!!

****

Just when everything seems to be falling apart, it suddenly comes back together leaving James and the clan in a state of shock. One second Ivan was gone and the next he’s living and breathing as if nothing had ever happened. It’s a joyous moment but one that doesn’t feel real.

Once the shock wears off James is left with some unresolved feelings that had been bothering him even before Ivan’s death. They need to be dealt with, but first, he has a detour to take.

That detour takes him to Jack’s hotel along with Drake.

Staying at Jack’s are a small group of hunters; hunters who have ties to the ones who had nearly destroyed the clan. To defeat the threat that they pose James is more than ready to kill. He’s prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure Harper’s safety, but he’s also determined to handle the situation without Erik.

Of course, when Erik finds out about James's secret, he rushes in to take over. His presence alone annoys James. He’s had enough of taking orders and lately Erik has been more overbearing than usual.

They clash, and Erik does something drastic to put James back into his place. It’s a move that ends up nearly costing James his life when they attack the hunters.

After the hunters are destroyed James and Erik are left figuring out how to repair their relationship. They find their way but not before their lives become even more complicated.

Will this new complication destroy their clan entirely or will it bring them closer? Only time will tell.

“James, you can come with me and, Drake, you can go with Jack,” Erik announces.

Drake grunts in agreement while Jack nods his head.

I, on the other hand, sigh while scrubbing my hand over my face. I hated that Erik was going to be right next to me the entire time. He would more than likely keep me from ever having the chance to take down one of the hunters.

“Do you have a problem, James?” Erik questions me.

“As a matter of fact, I do.” I blurt before I can stop myself.

“Jack, do you mind if we have a moment alone?” Erik sighs as he turns his attention towards Jack and Drake.

Jack nods and then pats Drake’s arm. “Come on; I’ll show you which room we’ll be going in.”

Without another word Jack and Drake exit the office.

Once they’re gone, Erik releases a low growl. “I’m getting really sick of this, James. We’ve never had issues like this before, so what’s changed?”

“Like I said before, you’ve changed.” I snap.

Before he can say a word, I continue. “You’ve become a controlling asshole, Erik. Everything we do, every move we make, has to be approved by you. It was never that way before.”

“That’s because we didn’t have Harper,” Erik replies. “Did you not see what she went through when we lost Ivan? I’d rather avoid that at any cost. If I’m being controlling it’s because I don’t want anyone going off on a suicide mission like you’re doing right now.”

He takes a moment before speaking again. “You lied straight to my face, James. That’s something that you’ve never done before.”

“I didn’t have much of a choice. You would never have let me leave.” I reply.

“Damn right I wouldn’t have.” Erik breathes out.

Silence fills the room as Erik turns his back towards me while brushing his hand through his hair.

For a moment, images of attacking Erik run through my mind.

Without warning my anger builds while my fangs cut into my bottom lip. The vampire within me was more than willing to test Erik and his position as leader of our clan. It was an odd feeling but a powerful one that I honestly didn’t want to go away.

I take a step forward just before Erik turns back around to face me.

In an instant, his eyes turn red. “You don’t want to do this, James.”

“Yes, I do.” I bite out.

“James, if you attack me then Harper will never forgive you,” Erik warns.

“I can deal with that after I’m the leader. At least then I’ll be able to have her whenever I choose, and the rest of you will have to wait for your turns.” I reply.

There was a part of me screaming to stop, but I couldn’t seem to.

My vampire side was very much in control, and there was no reining it in now. It was too late for that especially after what I had just said.

Without warning, Erik rushes forward. He slams into me while wrapping his hand around my throat. As we fall to the floor, he squeezes his hand just enough to cut off my air.

My head hits the unforgiving concrete floor with a crack.

The world around me spins as sparks flicker in my eyes.

All fight leaves my body instantly.

“I didn’t want to do this, James. You forced my hand.” Erik bites out as he glares down at me with unbridled anger.

“You cracked my skull.” I choke out.

“And now you’ve learned that I will never take a threat lightly. I don’t care how long you’ve been a part of my clan; I won’t hold back when you threaten what’s mine.” Erik growls before he loosens his grasp.

“There it is; the truth. You don’t want the rest of us to have Harper.” I whisper while closing my eyes.

Erik stands and then walks away without saying another word.

I remain on the floor while my head aches from the trauma it had endured.

“James…?” Drake breathes out as he walks into the room suddenly. “What happened?”

“I challenged Erik and lost, that’s what happened,” I answer honestly.

Ava has everything that she could ever want; great supportive parents, an amazing boyfriend, and a job that’s actually not so bad. She lives in a small town where even though the world around them has been plunged into chaos it’s remained relatively untouched.

Why the chaos, well because vampires and werewolves, along with every other supernatural creature, have come out of hiding. Most just want to live normal lives with humans, but others don’t.

Those creatures that don’t want a peaceful existence are what Ava and the rest of the human population fear. They’ve caused more than their fair share of nightly mayhem.

Luckily, the small town where Ava lives hasn’t had any issues, but that’s only because they run those creatures out of town before they ever have a chance to become a problem.

Of course, that doesn’t entirely keep them from running into danger, but they can certainly try.

Even with precautions accidents happen and cars break down, which is something Ava learns real quickly when her car breaks down in the middle of the night on the side of a secluded road.

In an instant, Ava’s life is flipped upside down.

All it takes is one vampire bite and a mouthful of blood to seal Ava’s fate. She only has two options. Either she dies, or she transforms.

When things don’t exactly go as planned, Ava finds herself all alone. Her parents believe she’s a monster and her boyfriend Jake, well the last look that Jake gave her wasn’t one of love but of disgust.

Ava thankfully finds an unlikely friend, a werewolf. He takes her to a town that’s a safe haven for vampires and shapeshifters of all kinds.

That’s where she meets Loki, a vampire who instantly connects with her. He takes it upon himself to teach her how to live like a vampire and how to control her urges. Of course being a vampire comes with some new and unexpected lifestyle changes.

One thing that she has to get used to is the fact that vampires aren’t monogamous. They create harems to satisfy their needs. Even though she’s hesitant to jump into a new relationship she quickly finds herself in more than just one.

Ava finds real love but it also comes in a few different forms.

Her heart may get broken in the process of finding her way, but she’ll survive. She’ll survive thanks to those around her and the love that they share.

My eyes lock with his while he lifts the second bag to his lips. I watch him as his eyes turn red while his fangs descend and then pierce the plastic.

Seconds later my fangs cut into my bottom lip as I try and fail to stay in control of my overwhelming emotions.

The sight had my hormones on overdrive.

I needed him in the worst way.

Loki raises his brow while pulling the bag away from his lips. A small bit of blood trickles from the side of his mouth, and I completely lose all control.

I rush forward and press my lips against his.

At first, he stands frozen in place before he wraps his arms around me while taking the kiss deeper. He groans as I nip his bottom lip with my fangs just enough to draw blood.

Closing my eyes, I taste him. I allow his blood to flow over my tongue.

The moment comes to a halt when Loki pushes me back. “We can’t do this. You’re not ready, and I’m not about to take advantage of you.”

Instead of allowing him to push me away I step forward. “Shut up and kiss me, Loki.”

He snorts while shaking his head. “You’re not making this easy for me.”

“I need this,” I argue as I move even closer to him.

“Are you sure?” He questions while placing his hands on either side of my face.

“Yes.” I answer easily.

Before he can say another word, I push my lips against his again. This time he doesn’t hesitate to match my intensity.

Within a few minutes, Loki lifts me into his arms without breaking our kiss before he carries me over to the bed. He gently lays me down while hovering over my body.

“Are you absolutely sure that I’m who you want?” He pushes while searching my eyes.

“Yes, Loki, you are exactly what I want and need,” I reply breathlessly.

“If we do this I’m not going to let you go.” He warns. “I’m not going to just be a one night stand or a way for you to escape your emotions.”

“I know.” I breathe out.

“I’ll be yours if that’s what you want.” He insists.

I smile and place my hands on his face. “Just kiss me.”

He snorts and then becomes serious before leaning down to kiss me sweetly. “In all my years I have never met someone quite like you.”

****

Finding Silas wasn’t easy, but it doesn’t compare to what happens next. Everything seems to be stacking up against the clan. Time is running out and with every second that ticks by the risk to Harper’s life becomes greater.

As if things couldn’t get worse, once the clan returns to Linbridge they quickly find themselves in danger once again. Instead of vindictive vampires to worry about, they have to fear Hunters.

They’ve come for Ivan. His mistakes are quickly catching up to him.

Of course, they’re not going to make it easy for the Hunters to take Ivan away. Hiding in plain sight is their only option.

While everything spins out of control around them, Harper works her hardest to mend their relationships. Each of them has their own fair share of problems. Silas isn’t the same thanks to the trauma that he’s endured, Ivan is depressed, and Erik has the weight of Linbridge’s future on his shoulders.

And Harper…Harper is finding it hard to face her new reality.

James is the only one who has the least amount of issues.

Before they can move forward, they must heal their inner wounds. It’s not easy. Things don’t go their way, and when Harper becomes sick it becomes even more difficult.

Their strength will be put to the test and their relationships will grow but will it be enough? Will it keep them from heartbreak? Will Harper be able to survive the loss of someone close?

Even James’s visions can’t predict what will happen. Nothing is written in stone, and their choices have significant consequences.

Those choices threaten to destroy everything.

Love and a little luck are the only things that will keep them together.

“Okay, so now that you’ve heard everything what do you think that Harper should do? Should she stay with me outside of Linbridge until the threat is gone or should we stay together, here?” Erik questions.

“I don’t think that she should go anywhere,” Drake states first.

He was as much a part of this clan as anyone in this room, and I was grateful that the others had accepted him without hesitation.

“I agree with Drake and Harper. Every time we split up something terrible happens.” Ivan replies. “I’m not willing to take the risk that the hunters won’t follow you two out of town.”

“Ivan has a point.” James states. “We have no idea who we can trust. They might be waiting for someone to leave Linbridge and without all of us it puts both you and Harper into a dangerous position.”

Erik nods and then turns his attention towards Silas. “What do you think?”

“Honestly, I’m on your side, Erik. I don’t like the thought of Harper leaving, but it’s obviously not safe to stay here anymore.” Silas replies. “You heard what those men said tonight; they were under the impression that we were vampires. They got their orders from someone, somewhere, and I do not doubt that they will send more men.”

“That’s true, but she was safer here with all of us protecting her.” Ivan insists.

“James…?” Erik sighs as he turns towards him for his response.

He doesn’t say a word for a few minutes before he finally opens his mouth to speak. Before he says a word, he closes his mouth before standing up abruptly.

Without warning he exits the room, leaving the rest of us in a state of confusion.

“Is he coming back?” I whisper as I look at Erik in question.

“I don’t know.” He breathes out.

A few moments later James walks back into the room with a large knife held in his hand. He walks directly behind Silas before he stabs the knife into Silas’s shoulder.

I scream out in pain as blood stains my shirt.

“What the hell, James?” Silas growls out.

“Have we all forgotten that there’s more than one way to get to Harper?” James questions as he removes the knife from Silas’s shoulder.

“If we split up we run the risk of her getting hurt either way. You’ve said it yourself, Erik, we are stronger together.” James states before turning his full attention towards me as he smirks. “I want her to stay. She wants to stay, and I’m not about to push her away.”

Erik nods and then rubs his hand over his face while he glances down at his feet.

A moment later he looks at me. “I guess you get your way this time, Sweetheart. Ivan, Drake, and James are right; we will be better off together.”

“So, I’m staying?” I press.

He nods. “Yes, and I won’t bring this subject up again.”

Becoming the rebel leader wasn’t what Nova expected to do, but fate had placed her in that very position. After being deceived by Edric, it only seemed natural to choose the side that stood against the Nokalt.
Of course being the leader isn’t easy, but with Ash by her side, Nova feels as if they can do anything. And with a rebel army behind them, the possibilities are limitless.
As the days go by Nova’s relationship with Ash grows stronger, but that doesn’t keep her from wanting someone else. She wants Wade. Something is pulling her to him, something that she can’t understand.
When the Nokalt attack without warning, everything spins out of control. Rebels die, and Wade is left knocking at death's door.
The rebels want revenge.
Nova has a choice to make. She needs to prove that she’s a strong rebel leader like her brother. She makes some difficult decisions. In the end, Nova gives the rebels precisely what they want.
They attack the Nokalt where they least expect it, and they hit them hard. No one dies, but the rebels manage to capture more than enough Nokalt prisoners to bargain with. With those prisoners, Nova hopes to get the rebels that the Nokalt had taken and her brother back.
Unfortunately, the rebels have other ideas. They want more than equal rights. They want the Nokalt destroyed.
Nova quickly finds herself in a new world of trouble that she has no control over.
Edric is the only one who can save her, but he’s got a few problems of his own. The only option he has left is to bring Ethan back to Nova.
That plan backfires. The rebels don’t trust Ethan, and they definitely don’t trust Nova or Ash anymore.
Nova and Ethan have only one option left. They had to escape. They have to leave the rebels behind or risk dying for a cause that they no longer believe in.
Getting out alive brings a whole new set of problems. Not everything is as it seems and the people closest to Nova end up being the ones who betray her the worst. Everything that happens pushes Nova farther away from the people she loves.
Edric is Nova’s only hope but will he still want to save her? Will she still want him? Will their connection bring them back together or will they lose each other forever?
Only fate knows what will happen next.

“Go, Ivan. Drive.” Erik pants out as he shuts his door.

Ivan quickly drives the car down the driveway while more bombs go off behind us.

“Holy shit, Marcus had the whole place rigged to blow.” Ivan exclaims as he glances back in the rearview mirror.

I remain seated with my attention out the front windshield. As much as I wanted to see Silas I also didn’t want to see him in his deteriorated condition.

“He’s alright, Harper.” James reassures me. “He’s just weakened.”

I nod and bite my lip while closing my eyes to keep myself from falling apart.

The smell of rotten flesh was heavy in the air along with dirt and something else much worse. It was horrifying to be honest.

When the smell of blood hits me I nearly lose my control.

My stomach groans as I dig my nails into the seat beneath me.

“Just take a little, Silas.” James instructs.

“That’s not going to be possible.” I grit out.

“Why not, he seems to be in control.” Erik replies.

“It’s not because I can feel his hunger. He might seem to be in control but he’s not. The vampire is in control.” I warn.

James curses loudly. “Damn it, she’s right. He’s not stopping.”

Erik curses next as they begin moving around in the backseat.

Ivan glances towards me with worry as he pulls onto the main road.

Of course that’s the moment when everything gets worse. While Erik and James struggle to control Silas red and blue lights begin flashing behind us while a siren rings out.

“This cannot be happening.” Ivan groans.

“What are we going to do? We can’t stop, not yet.” I stress.

“Erik, what are we doing?” Ivan questions tensely.

“Stop the car. The last thing we want is a high speed chase.” Erik replies.

Ivan grunts in response before pulling the car to the side of the road. He then quickly pulls out his wallet while I grab the papers he would need from the compartment in front of me.

James and Erik somehow get Silas to calm down while the police officer walks up to Ivan’s window.

“What’s the problem officer?” Ivan asks while rolling down his window.

“I was just curious if you knew what was going on at the Smith farm. You came from the driveway and we had calls of smoke and loud booms coming from that area.” The officer replies.

“The smoke was coming from the house. I don’t know what happened but when we were driving past we saw the smoke and decided to see if we could help.” Ivan lies easily. “There wasn’t much left of the house so we figured that we would drive back down the road to see if we could find some sort of help.”

I grab my phone and hold it up. “My phone wouldn’t get a signal otherwise we would have called.”

He nods and then glances towards his car before leaning down to look into the backseat.

“Is he alright?” The officer questions as he points towards Silas’s body that was slumped over James in the seat.

“Yeah, he’s fine, just a little drunk.” Ivan answers.

The officer nods before pointing towards me. “Are you alright? You have a little bit of blood on your arm.”

Before I can answer he studies Ivan closer.

Without warning he pulls his gun from its holster on his belt before he points it at us.

“Get out of the car with your hands up.” He orders sternly.

“Erik…?” Ivan breathes out.

“Just do it.” Erik replies.

Ivan nods and then lifts his hands before exiting the car. I quickly slide across the seat with my hands up. Once I’m out I stand beside Ivan as the officer trains his gun directly on us.

Today's teaser comes from Eternal the third book in The Vampires of Linbridge Series. I've been typing away like crazy to get it written. I can't wait to share this next book with you guys.

It's going to be so exciting.

Anyway, here it is, your teaser.

It's a little short but it's going to leave you wanting more. Enjoy!!

“Do you guys hear that?” James questions while tilting his head to the side. “It sounds like a faint beeping sound.”

‘Guys, there’s a red light flashing in here.’ Silas warns within our minds.

“Damn it.” James curses. “Marcus must have set the locks with a bomb.”

“We have to get him out of there before it blows.” Ivan stresses.

I whimper as I turn in his arms. “This can’t be happening.”

‘There’s a timer.’ Silas announces. ‘I have less than five minutes. You guys better hurry.’

“We’ll get him out, Harper.” Erik promises. “But it might be best if you and Ivan went back by the car just in case this doesn’t go our way.”

“I’m not leaving you.” I argue.

“Maybe if we all work together we can get Silas out before the timer runs out.” Ivan suggests.

Erik and James share a look before nodding in agreement.

“Fine, but the second I tell you to leave you better listen.” Erik explains.

I nod. “I’ll run the second that you tell me to.”

“You better.” He replies.

With his permission Ivan and I jump into the hole and then grab the keys that James holds out for us. We each quickly take a lock and begin the task of unlocking each.

I get lucky and find the right key for the first lock.

Smiling triumphantly I move onto the next while Ivan, Erik, and James work quickly to unlock the others.

“What are we going to do once he’s out?” James questions as he continues to work on one of the locks.

Erik shrugs. “I honestly don’t know.”

“We’re going to have to keep him from killing someone.” Ivan stresses.

“If I’m full then he’ll feel full.” I insist.

“That might not work. We can only guess that the animalistic side of Silas will be present. He’s been starved so the vampire side will have more control. It will also make him dangerous towards us and unpredictable.” Erik replies.

“Oh…” I breathe out.

“We won’t allow anything bad to happen to him.” Ivan promises gently.

I nod and bite my lip as I try another lock.

‘The timer is down to two minutes.’ Silas announces within our minds.

I whimper softly as I try key after key inside the lock in my hand. When none of my keys works tears fill my eyes.

This felt hopeless. We were struggling against time that we really didn’t have.

Giving up on that lock I try another.

Once again none of my keys work. My anger gets the best of me and I slam the lock against the chains as hard as I can.

To my surprise the lock splits in two, freeing a set of chains.

‘Uh, the clock just lost ten seconds.’ Silas warns.

Erik, Ivan, and James curse while I begin to cry.

“Damn it.” Erik breathes out before sharing a look with James.

They have a silent conversation before James releases a heavy breath while shaking his head.

“Luck would have to be on our side.” He states out loud.

“Just count the remaining locks.” Erik demands.

“What are you going to do?” I ask.

“We’re going to see how many locks there are and how much time we would lose by breaking them. If there’s more time on the clock than what we’ll lose then we’ll take the risk. If not…” Erik trails off.

He didn’t have to say the rest. It was easy to fill in what would happen if we ran out of time.

Silas and I would die.

Once James is finished counting the locks he and Erik share another long look before Erik sighs roughly while glancing in my direction.

“What’s wrong?” I press.

He shakes his head. “It’s nothing that you need to worry about, Harper.”

I’m about to argue but Ivan steps in front of me. He places his hands on either side of my face while gazing sadly into my eyes.

“Come on, Harper. We need to go to the car while Erik and James finish this.” He pushes.

I nod and then bite my lip as he picks me up to help me out of the hole. Once he’s out he grabs my hand to pull me away.

A whimper leaves my lips as I continue to watch the hole until it’s nearly impossible to see.

‘Silas…’ I whisper into his mind while closing my eyes.

‘Don’t worry, we’ll be together again really soon.’ He promises.

As we reach the car the sound of metal being broken fills the air. I listen closely as the chains fall away from Silas’s box.

Ivan nervously bites his lip while I wrap my arms around his waist.

Time ticks by at a snail’s pace as we wait.

“They’ll have enough time.” Ivan insists.

I wasn't so confident.

It's been a while since I last posted a teaser. I'm going to try and get back to it so here's the first of more to come. This is a teaser from Book 2 in The Chosen Series. The first part is from Nova's point of view and the second part is from Edric's point of view. I haven't chosen a release date yet but I'm hoping for a Spring release. As soon as I pick a date I'll post it. Enjoy!!

“I can’t believe I actually did it.” I breathe out as I look down at him. “I didn’t think Edric would actually let us kill someone though.”

“He knew that you were proving a point.” Ash replies.

I nod. “I believe I got our point across.”

He nods. “Yes, you did.”

“I think you scared the hell out of Wade.” He adds.

“We should probably talk to him. He’s probably wondering why you looked like a Nokalt.” I sigh. “The last thing we need is for him to tell someone about you.”

“Are you sure we can trust him now?” Ash presses.

“Yes.” I answer confidently.

The Nokalt on the floor suddenly groans and I sigh before closing my eyes. “He’s not dead.”

“It appears not.” Ash replies as he places me on the floor.

“I’ll call for Edric.” I breathe out.

Ash nods and then takes a step back away from me while I grab the necklace around my neck to summon Edric.

Within seconds he appears.

“Take him, he’s not dead.” I state while pointing to the Nokalt lying on the floor.

Without a word Edric moves over to his body before lifting him in his arms. He glances towards me for a moment before disappearing again.

I sigh while turning my attention back towards Ash.

“That was kind of you.” He laughs lightly.

“I’m not a complete monster.” I reply while moving towards him.

“No, you’re not.” Ash replies before he pulls me into his arms. “You still have a soft side to you. No matter what happens you need to hold onto that side.”

“There’s no way I’ll let that side go completely.” I promise.

I smile as I lean close. “Now, kiss me.”

Ash doesn’t hesitate to press his lips to mine.

“What the hell was that?” I nearly shout as I join Cato in my room on the station.

“She’s not the girl you knew anymore.” Cato replies. “She’s become ruthless and cruel.”

Ethan laughs from his spot leaning against the wall in the corner. “Did you really expect her to be any other way?”

“She’s out of control.” I breathe out.

“No, she’s pissed.” Ethan replies.

“If you took me back to her I could stop Nova before it gets too out of hand.” He then tries.

“That’s not going to happen.” I sigh while rubbing the back of my neck.

“It wouldn’t be the worst idea. If she stays in control a lot more Nokalt are going to die.” Cato chimes in.

“Shane is still alive.” I announce abruptly.

“Are you sure?” Cato asks.

I nod. “Nova summoned me back. She had me remove him. He was still breathing when I brought him back with me.”

“That means she’s not totally lost.” Ethan states.

“I’ve lost her though. There’s no chance of me getting her back. Ash has chosen her. She’s his now.” I whisper while closing my eyes.

“Are you sure?” Cato pushes.

“I saw the marks with my own two eyes. She didn’t deny it either.” I answer.

Cato curses softly.

The only possible way to get her back now was to either steal her from Ash, which was forbidden here, or I would have to kill him.

“You need to return before someone notices that you’re gone.” Cato suddenly stresses.

The last thing I wanted to do was go back.

“Don’t let what I did be for nothing.” Cato states.

I nod and then sigh roughly before I change my appearance. With my next breath I transport myself back to Wade’s room.

Some Changes Coming

Some changes are coming to The Vampires of Linbridge Series.

Since I've been editing and updating my heart out, I decided that this series needed some new covers. I loved the roses but when I did the latest cover for book three I just couldn't get it right. I took a step back and realized that they weren't my best. Anyway, long story short, I stayed up late to search through hundreds of photos until I finally found the perfect one. It was luck that this photo wasn't the only one of the model. Once I did the cover for Bitten, I fell in love. These new covers blow the old ones out of the water. I am so excited to share them with you. I've also chosen the title for book three. It's going to be called Eternal!!

Now that that is out of the way here they are in all of their glory.

 

The main books in the series are not the only ones getting a change. Erik's book and Ivan's are also going to be a bit different. Check them out.

So, what do you think? Do you like the new covers?

Happy Reading!!

Wren is a typical, everyday, girl, at least that’s what she believes. What she doesn’t know is that she’s part of a much bigger picture. She’s about to find out and it will change everything she’s ever known.

When a new guy shows up at school, she can’t help but feel connected to him. It’s a connection she has to fight and keep secret from her boyfriend, Jake.

Just when her life begins coming together, it comes unraveled. Some secrets are hard to keep, but others aren’t meant to be kept.

Wren discovers that she’s a descendant of the one and only Little Red Riding Hood.

The second everything comes out into the open Wren’s world changes drastically. She learns that Jake is a hunter, along with their friend Noah. Her other close friend, Aiden, is a descendant of Van Helsing, and Liam…Liam is the wolf from all of the stories she’s been told about.

The only difference is that Liam isn’t a big bad wolf.

No, that’s not how Wren’s story goes. In fact, it’s far from it. Instead of being afraid of Liam, Wren is drawn to him. They share a deep connection, but that’s all thanks to the curse they share. It’s a curse that had destroyed her mother’s love, her grandmother’s love, and the many descendants that came before her. The curse was meant to destroy her happiness.

Thankfully the curse can be broken. It’s not an easy task though, and with danger lurking around every corner it makes it nearly impossible. Add the fact that Wren can’t tell Liam and Jake how to break the curse and it makes it that much more difficult.

Fortunately, fate takes the situation into its own hands.

They are saved but not without a price.

Loved ones will die. Wren’s faith will be tested, and her heart will be broken.

Only the one that she truly loves will save her in the end.

Snow is a special girl with a special gift. She’s a Winter Fae, and a princess, but she doesn’t know that yet. Being raised in the human world with her best friend Tucker and her grandmother has shielded her from reality. They have kept her true identity hidden from her to keep her safe.

Snow had been safely hidden, until now. A Summer Fae has uncovered their secret, and he’s come to take her to the Fae world.

Everything Snow has known changes in an instant when she’s taken through a portal. The Fae world is much harsher than the Human world that she had become comfortable with. She’s got a lot to learn, and quickly. The first thing she learns is that Winter Fae and Summer Fae don’t mix. Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop her from getting attached to the very Fae that had kidnapped her.

Forest, her captor, fights against the connection that seems to be pulling Snow and him together. When Snow pushes to get closer his defenses come crashing down. For Snow, everything seemed to be coming together. She was finding her place in this world. That joy is short-lived when her world once again becomes unraveled.

What Forest and Snow feel can never be, she has to return to her kingdom and he has to flee.

Soon Snow finds herself safely at home with her father, the King. Snow settles into her new role as Princess, but that doesn’t erase what she felt for the Summer Fae. Her heart longs for him and then breaks when unexpected news reaches her of his untimely demise.

She finds herself finding comfort in a set of familiar arms, Everest, a half-breed who reminds her of everything that she lost. He mends her heart while keeping her safe.

That doesn’t stop danger from finding Snow.

No matter what she does her world keeps falling apart around her. Every decision she makes places her on different paths to her future, but which is the right one to follow.

Snow must decide which path to take or risk it all. Will fate intervene or will someone else decide for her? Will love be able to triumph? Only the future knows.

Harper is a young girl who grew up in a special town, a town called Linbridge. What’s so special about this town? Well, it might be the simple fact that most of its residents are vampires. They aren’t the bloodthirsty type though. They only want to live in peaceful harmony with the humans surrounding them. Of course, no one dares to defy the rules that the vampires have placed over the town.

When Harper’s eighteenth birthday comes, it comes with the chance to become a protected or an unclaimed. The protected are well taken care of by their vampire protectors while the unclaimed are fair game for whatever goes bump in the night.

A week before her birthday her current protector, Finnick, rejects his claim to continue being her protector. Harper’s whole world changes in an instant, but it’s not all bad. She meets a few new friends. There’s a connection she has with them, one that she can’t exactly explain. Along with the new friends, she is reunited with an old one, Alex. He’s one of the unclaimed.

Just when things seem to be at their best, everything once again crumbles down around Harper. Lies are uncovered, and some truths are revealed. There’s a bigger picture to Harper’s connection with her newest friends. They aren’t what they seem. In fact, they aren’t even human. They’re vampires, part of a vampire clan to be precise and they hunt down other vampires who break the laws of their kind.

Harper soon falls for one of the clan members, but it all comes unraveled with the sudden appearance of an old flame. Clara has held the clan's hearts for centuries.

Will Clara’s past with the clan destroy everything Harper has or will another threat take her life away? Can love prevail or will it only destroy her more?
