The sequel to
The Keeper of the Wolf Clan is coming on March 10!
I thought it would be lovely to share a few teasers with you. In January of 2012, I wrote a little story that had captured my heart and interest, but I was hesitant to pen it for two reasons. First, I don't care to follow trends and vamps & werewolves are pretty popular. Second, the Bonding Ritual held a secret that shocked me. However, I LOVED the character of Layla. She had a beautiful journey to share, so I held my breath and hit publish...
Fans of that little novelette asked for her story to continue, and unlike Brie, I actually had planned to continue Layla's story. Two years later, I am finally giving her a voice again. This is a romantic tale of duty, love and betrayal.
So, without further ado, here are the Keeper teasers. Enjoy!
Something felt
off, but Layla couldn’t identify what was making her so edgy until she
heard the howl of a strange wolf. The other clans were coming... (~Red
Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
The animal heat that had been
rolling off him in waves all evening had increased in power, making it
impossible for her to ignore him. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
He growled possessively as he pushed in
further. He began stroking her with his shaft, grunting with each
thrust, but then he shook his head. “More, I need more of you.” (~Red
Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
It
was the way of her people—this mating for life. It was beautiful in its
strength of unity, but heartbreaking when one partner passed too early.
(~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
He did
not stop licking as he continued to caress her inner walls, until the
tension became so great that it burst into a glorious explosion of
pleasure. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
She
matched the kiss with her own avarice hunger, longing to know every
inch of her mate. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
Normally,
all objects of the dead were burned to return them to their owner, but
Papa had kept this so that Mika could be a part of her daughter’s mating
ceremony. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
He
crushed her to him then, his rough hands digging into her skin as his
tongue demanded entrance into her mouth. When she yielded, he consumed
her...
(~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
Layla put her
finger to his mouth to silence him. She smiled as she tip-toed,
replacing her finger with her lips. He was stiff and unyielding until
she whispered his name. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part
He
growled, deep and low, caught up in the intense pleasure of the moment.
Every rejection he’d suffered, every humiliation he’d endured was worth
this connection with her.
Someday she would know the man behind
the hard exterior he presented to the world, and she would come to love
him as deeply as he loved her. (~Red
Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
She suddenly
found it hard to breathe… Layla couldn’t take the pressure and did what
came naturally. She stripped off her clothes, allowing the wolf spirit
inside to have its way. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
“Are you the one who will claim her, Maska of the East? For I know both Amira and Etan are already mated.”
Valen barked angrily. “She is promised.” (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
His
warm tongue thawed the icy chill that had settled in her soul. When she
didn’t move, he nudged her shoulder with his snout and whined softly.
(~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)
