Welcome to the MFRW Book Hooks blog hop!
This week I’m continuing the Fangs and Fists excerpts with one from Victor.
Having just humiliated the wolf gladiator Victor in the arena to ensure their survival, Jolanda, wolf witch, now tries to convince him that she’s not his enemy, and she needs his help to plan the wolves’ escape from the demon masters.

Excerpt:
“Let’s go in the shower,” she said.
“I just took one before I came here.”
“Don’t be stupid,” she whispered through gritted teeth. “We’re less apt to be heard in the shower.”
He didn’t look pleased with her insult, but stepped away so that she could move. Grasping his wrist, she led the way to the bathroom. He paused at the door, so she released him.
His arms folded across his powerful chest, he leaned against the doorjamb while she turned on the water in the shower.
Jolanda walked to the mirror and tied up her hair. Slanting her gaze toward Victor, she said, “Are you just going to stand there and watch or come inside?”
His gaze raked her and her heart actually skipped a beat. She’d never had a shortage of admirers, but a man’s stare hadn’t made her feel like this in longer than she cared to admit.
“At least pretend to go along with this, if for no other reason than to save yourself the humiliation–”
“Humiliation? It can’t get much worse than you tossing me around the arena. Where did you learn that kind of magic and why?”
“Typical of a wolf to use that contemptuous tone when talking about magic.”
“No respectable wolf would –”
“Get himself thrown around the arena like a novice?”
Victor growled and straightened. His hands flexed and she sensed that he’d like to wrap them around her neck. She preferred that to watching him give up, which was what she feared might happen. She didn’t doubt he’d rather die than continue submitting to the demons.
“Why don’t we put aside our differences, at least for tonight,” she suggested.
