Welcome to the MFRW Book Hooks blog hop!
This week’s excerpt from the Immaculate picks up where last week’s left off. Adam is dying from a mysterious disease that affects vampires. Vincent, a minion of the First Father, has kidnapped a family friend and calls out Adam for a fight to the death. Brett is willing to protect Adam at any cost.

Excerpt:
“It’s me. Brett.”
“You’re smart, old man. You know I’m not playing. Get me your son.”
Shocked, Brett and Mara locked gazes. How the hell did Vincent know about Adam’s biological parents?
“Listen well, Brett, I know all about Adam being your and Mercedes’ kid. I know all about him being a threat to the First Father. I’m not going to let him fulfill that stupid prophecy. It’s impossible. I know because a long, long time ago, they thought I was the chosen one. The Liberator. Huh. Then I woke up. The First Father is power. He is the past and he is the future. Want to know how I learned all this? I’ve got a pathetic, scrawny hybrid called Jules dangling from my claws right at this moment.”
“What do you want?” Brett asked.
“You tell Adam to meet me at the Quincy quarry, or else I’ll destroy everyone he cares about, starting with this little prick and including you, Mercedes, and Mara. I’ll plan something special for you, sweet thing. You can bet on it. He has half an hour to get here before I start draining Jules dry.”
The other line clicked as Vincent hung up.
“What the hell are we going to do?” Fear wrapped around Mara, nearly strangling her. “Adam can’t fight Vincent now.”
“Nor can he fight the First Father, and Vincent’s presence means the First Father is ready to awaken.” Brett strode out of the kitchen and down the hallway.
“Where are you going?”
“To the quarry.”
“Do you think you can beat Vincent?”
“I don’t know. He’s old and Immaculate, but I’m experienced.”
“You’re a hybrid. Anyone who challenged Adam’s strength is powerful.”
“Long ago, I made Adam a promise that I would protect him until he was ready to fight the First Father.” Brett stopped, one hand on the front door. “He’s not ready. I will not fail him again.”
