Excerpt
Jacksonâs eyes narrowed as he saw the flaring of Hunterâs nose. No fucking way! Flicking his gaze down at his cousinâs crotch, he found the telltale bulge confirming his suspicions. His cousinâs mate was one of his pack members.What the fuck do I do now? Jacksonâs worries about the reason for Hunterâs visit suddenly seemed trivial compared to what he was now facing. Not wanting to see who his cousin was staring at, he rolled out his Alpha power, just enough to bring Hunterâs attention back to him. âItâs been a long time, Cousin.â
Holy Fuck! How did Jackie do that? Forced to look at his cousin, Hunter found himself unable to move. âYes, it has,â he replied. âI understand congratulations are in order.â
âCongratulations? What for?â asked Jackson.
âBecoming Alpha of the Blackwood Pack, of course,â Hunter answered.
Wondering how much his cousin knew, Jackson decided to ignore it. Instead, he asked, âAre you going to introduce your brothers to me?â
âSure,â Hunter replied, but anxious to know the name of his mate, he continued, âbut thatâs quite a welcoming group you have for us, considering you didnât know we were arriving today. Do you mind introducing them to me first?â
Standing next to Logan on the porch, Kieran watched the two posturing Alphas with amusement. Suddenly, his spirit spoke to him. Breaking away from his mate, he bolted down the steps.
âBabe! Wait! What are you doing?â called Logan, torn between following his mate and obeying Jacksonâs orders to remain where he was. Fuck, fuck, fuck!
âMacushla, Iâm needed! Donât worry!â Kieran yelled, sprinting towards the motorhome.
Asking their spirit what his mate was doing, Logan gasped, his jaw dropping. Not believing what he heard, he leapt off the porch, shouting, âWait babe, wait! Jackson, stop Kieran!â
Breaking eye contact with Hunter, Jackson looked over his cousinâs shoulder, catching sight of Kieran opening the motorhome door. âKieran, stop!â he commanded, upping his Alpha power to force his brotherâs mate to obey.
Hunter, following his cousinâs gaze, saw a slender figure about to climb up the steps leading to the inside. What the fuck is going on here? Not knowing who it was, he threw out his Alpha power and ordered, âStop now!â
Frozen in his tracks as the power from both Alphas temporarily stunned him, Kieranâs spirit took over, breaking him free of their hold, allowing him to scramble up the steps. Once inside, he came face to face with three pairs of eyes staring at him in astonishment. âHi cousins, nice to meet you but if you donât mind, can we talk later because Iâm needed.â Hurrying to the first door he found, Kieran popped it open. âHi there, donât you look fabulous! I love your dress, but can we talk later? Thanks.â Closing the door, he hurried to the next one. Placing his hand on it, he knew this was where he was supposed to be. Quietly slipping inside, he said, âHi, donât worry, Iâm here to help.â
âWho the fuck was that?â asked Sawyer.
âHow did he know?â Robin asked.
âOh, shit,â Mason said, looking at the big shifter whoâd just joined Jackson and Hunter. âThis doesnât look good.â
Stopping next to Jackson, Logan asked, âWhy didnât you stop Kieran?â
âWhoâs Kieran?â asked Hunter, âAnd why did he break into my motorhome?â
âFuck you, asshole!â Logan snarled.
âLogan, stop,â Jackson ordered.
âLogan?â Hunter asked, astounded at how big his cousinâs twin was. The last time heâd seen Logan, he was a skinny, short kid.
âLogan, meet Hunter, our cousin,â Jackson said.
Giving his cousin an angry glance, Logan turned back to his brother. âBro, I need to speak to youâŚalone!â
At a loss for what was going on, Hunter decided to retreat. âI understand. Iâll just be in there, finding out about who decided to invite himself into my motorhome⌠without permission, I might add.â
âYou touch my mate and itâll be the last thing you ever do,â snarled Logan.
âYour mate? That twink is your mate?â asked Hunter, incredulously.
Seeing red at the implied insult, Logan began to shift, having had enough of his cousinâs attitude towards Kieran.
Glancing at the motorhome, Jackson saw fear and anger in the faces staring back at him. Instantly aware of what would happen if he didnât put a stop to the brewing conflict, he sent out his Alpha power a bit stronger, waiting until his brother and cousin tilted their heads in submission. âHunter, stay where you are while I speak to my brother alone. Understand?â
âYes, Alpha,â Hunter said. Feeling Jacksonâs control, he stood still, watching his cousins walk away from him, smirking at their attempt to keep him from listening with his wolf hearing. Shifting his gaze, Hunter sought out the man on the porch who was now tied to him by the Fates, wondering how his cousin would react when he took his mate back east.
Once Jackson felt he and Logan were far enough away from Hunter, he stopped and said, âOkay, whatâs Kieran up to now?â
Glancing over his brotherâs shoulder to make sure Hunter wasnât heading for the motorhome, Logan leaned in and whispered into his brotherâs ear.
Jerking back, Jackson stared at Logan. âThatâs fucking impossible!â
Shaking his head, Logan leaned in again and repeated himself.
The color drained from Jacksonâs face as the implications of Loganâs news sank in. Looking toward the porch and zeroing in on his brothers, he thought about how this news would hit them. Then, turning back to Logan, Jackson murmured, âAre you absolutely positive?â
âYes.â
âIs Kieran okay?â
Logan asked their spirit before answering, âYes, heâs doing what he can.â
âGet Ian and Colton here but donât let them know why.â
âWill do, but please protect my mate,â Logan said, before heading for the porch.
Nodding, Jackson strode over to Hunter, blocking his view of the porch and snarled, âWhat the fuck are you trying to pull? Why didnât you tell me about this in the first email you sent?â
Waves of powerful anger emanated from Jackson, nearly pushing Hunter to his knees. Forcing himself to stand his ground, he answered, âI did what my mother wanted.â
Author Bio
A few years ago, I wrote my first book, Dire Warning. Readers loved it and I was on my way to chronicle the Blackwood Pack, seven brothers who are gay wolf shifters in search of their fated matesâstories about love at first sight with twists and turns, angst and humor, romance and adventure and, of course, happy endings. Since then, the pack has expanded, allowing more stories to be told and different paranormals to be included. The series has become, as one reader described itâŚan âEpic Saga.â
Now, eleven books later, Blood Prophecy, has just been published. I love the M/M paranormal genre because it gives my imagination a lot of territory in which to roam. My mind can really run wild and come up with some amazing stuff when it doesnât have to stay inside the box. My story ideas come to me as if they were being channeled by my characters, all of whom I love (except for a few villains). They are eager to recount their lives, loves and adventures, and are not reluctant to let it all out when it comes to revealing steamy details. My writing style is free-wheeling and uninhibited and my readers tell me they love it that way; that it makes them feel like theyâre right in on the action and a member of the Blackwood Pack.
I live in the Northeast and love the beautiful change of seasons, my husband, and our quirky calico cat, though not necessarily in that order. I read a lot (good for the mind) and love gardening (good for the soul). And Iâm always happy to hear from my readers and can be reached through Facebook, my private Facebook Group, Twitter, Instagram, or my website.
