Excerpt
Two:
Rhane
The stranger shifted, leaning over until his mouth was within a
millimeter of her left ear. He spoke softly, his lips brushing against some
serious nerve endings, “Is this seat taken?”
With a nervous shiver, she blinked long and slow, savoring the low and
sexy quality of his voice. Then she edged away to put at least an inch between
his lips and her ear. If he touched her like that again, Kali was very likely
to embarrass herself. Just as she was about to answer his question, the room
brightened with light from the illuminated screen. What Kali saw made her jaw
drop.
If an eighty-year-old grandmother had been sitting next to her when this
guy had shown up, Kali would have politely asked the old lady to move so the
stranger could sit down. He was absurdly good looking. Silver lighting accented
every perfect line and angle of his face. Several locks from his thick mass of
hair fell idly across his forehead, slightly curling at the ends. There was
softness to his features that suggested he could be a keeper.
The stranger returned Kali’s stare with an intensity that took in every
part of her. But his eyes never left her face.
Realizing she had been staring at him stupidly for far too long, Kali
struggled to find something to say. “I’m…” She cleared her throat. “It’s
yours.”
He finally looked away. Whatever tied her to him was loosed, and Kali
pulled her gaze away. They didn’t speak again for a long time, but Kali was
constantly aware of him. She kept stealing furtive glances in his direction
because the sight of him was more enthralling than anything the movie had to
offer. Growing bolder, Kali watched him from the corner of her eye at
increasingly longer intervals. Apparently, the stranger was not as bothered as
she was. Relaxed in his seat, he sat observing the screen with languid
interest, doing a pretty good job convincing her that he’d forgotten anyone was
beside him. Kali was so immersed with watching him, and was completely startled
when he spoke.
“It’s not polite to stare,” he murmured softly without taking his eyes
from the screen.
Kali jerked and turned away. But she wasn’t fast enough and was
mortified to see the beginning of a satisfied smile appear on his face. She
slid down into the chair, grateful for the darkness that concealed a blush
spreading across her cheeks. From then on she tried to concentrate on the
movie. But it was useless. She gave up and watched the screen absently, all the
while thinking about the guy sitting next to her and how he probably thought
she was an absolute dork. She didn’t get it. Boys never had this affect on her.
For the past two years, it had always been them falling helplessly at her
feet.
A mutated mix of human and creature launched itself from a quiet scene,
growling and snarling into the camera. Several audience members jumped in
surprise, and Kali was one of them. She made a noise that sounded like a
strangled bird.
“Do these things frighten you?” the stranger asked. He was clearly
enjoying her discomfort.
Kali cleared her throat. “Why would they? This stuff isn’t real.” This
time, she didn’t look at him.
After a long moment, he spoke again. “Right,” he slowly agreed.

ReplyDeleteHe truly is! This blurb only scratches the surface. Thanks for reading Michelle!
DeleteThank you for hosting! Readers, Banewolf is on sale for only $0.99 at Amazon.
ReplyDeleteHow about a story with a strong, centered she wolf who must face the same, or worse, this main character faces?
ReplyDeleteKali is a different type of creature who faces her own struggles in this story...and her problems are just as bad if not more horrific than Rhane's.
