BOOK BLITZ
EXCERPT:
“It’s going to be ugly if they get
here. I may have to kill some of them. I’d prefer not to, at least this day.
But they may leave me no choice.” He shrugged. “So, let’s go to avoid
this problem. I didn’t come here to make war on these humans. I came to fetch
my mate.” He stepped closer to the porch. “Trust me, Breanna. Let your
heart guide you. If you listen to it, you will know what to do.”
“My mother’s in her room sleeping.
I need help with her. She’s ill, and she can be difficult.”
“Let me inside, I’ll talk to her.”
“Okay.” She stood aside. “I’m your
mate?”
“Yes, you’re my mate.” In a few
quick steps, he stood inside the house. He had to duck as he entered, and
once inside he hunched not to hit the ceiling. “Gather what you would like to
take with us. Get the coat I gave you.”
Breanna picked up the coat to put
it on. She took him to her mother.
“Mother, this is Axel. We need to
leave with him. Hugh’s upset with us. He’s coming back to… hurt us. We have to
go.” Breanna tapped her mother’s arm. “Mother, please wake up.”
Fiona rolled over to look at
Breanna. Her eyes were crazed. “What is it, child?” Her voice
sounded weak. “I was dreaming of Hema taking me to his realm.”
“We need to leave. This is Axel.”
Breanna pointed at him. “Umm, he’s a friend of mine. We need to go with him,
now.”
“No.” Her mother sat up in the bed,
shaking her head. Her hair looked wild all over her head. “I must wait for Hema
to return. If I’m gone he may not find me.”
“Mother, we have to go. Hugh’s not
happy, and he’s bringing others to start trouble.”
“You leave, I’m staying here.
I’m not worried about Hugh.” She lay back down, rolling to the other side. “I
cannot leave. Hema may come to get me.”
Axel patted Breanna on her
shoulder. “They’re almost here. Stand back with me. Lay the coat down then
give me your hand. We’ll watch to make sure your mother’s safe.”
He reached for her hand, and
Breanna allowed him to hold it.
“No one can see us now. It takes
less power if you hold my hand to make you invisible with me. We’ll wait
and watch. They cannot hear us either.”
Breanna followed Axel out into the
front room of the house. They stood to the right of the fireplace out of
the way. The front door burst open, and Breanna jumped.
“It’s okay. They don’t see or hear
us. You’ll be safe.” He gently squeezed her hand. “Relax.”
Hugh, along with two other men,
entered the house. The door banged against the wall, and they pushed the
chairs to the floor as they stomped inside. Others were outside the house
calling loudly for her.
“Where’s the bastard? The damn
girl’s in league with him.
