WeWriWa is a blog hop that’s new to me, but it looks like a lot of fun and a great place to find new books and authors. Participants post an 8-10 sentence clip from their work. This is my first time joining in, and I’m looking forward to participating in the future.
This snippet is from Bolt, the first story in my paranormal romance series, Fangs and Fists.
“Even though we’re friends, this is a lot to ask,” Grit continued.
“Like you said. We’re friends. That time I suffered grave wounds in the arena, you didn’t leave my side. I’d probably be dead if it wasn’t for you. Whatever you want, if I can do it, you can count on me.”
“If by chance I don’t survive tomorrow, will you watch over Kiara and Jett? Will you see that they’re still included in our escape plan?”
Bolt held his gaze and nodded. “You didn’t even have to ask. I’d die before leaving them behind.”
About Fangs and Fists: Bolt
(Erotic Paranormal Romance)
In a futuristic world ruled by demons, werewolves are enslaved to fight in gladiatorial matches for the amusement of their evil masters.
Kiara remembers what life was like living free — before she was taken by demons and bred to gladiators so that the new generations of wolves would retain their ferocity but forget their freedom. Mated to top gladiator Grit, she has a son with this surprisingly gentle lover who is also planning their escape. When Grit is killed in the arena, his close friend Bolt upholds his promise to protect Kiara and the cub.
Bolt and Kiara have loved each other from the moment they met, but they buried their feelings because she was mated to his best friend. When Grit dies, despite their guilt, Bolt and Kiara surrender to their desire for each other. Will their love be strong enough to help them win freedom from their evil masters?

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors! As you said, it’s fun and I’ve made a bunch of online friends, a few of whom I’ve since met in person. Your snippet established some very believable male bonding that makes me suspect that Grit won’t survive the upcoming match and Bolt will have his hands full honoring his promise.
Thank you, Ed! Thank you for commenting, and you’re right, Bolt will have his hands full in a lot of ways.
Welcome! And this is a great snippet. I love gladiator lore and want to know more!
Thank you, Amy! I’m glad you liked it.
Welcome to WWW! Werewolf gladiators- love it!
Thank you very much, Alexis!
Oh dear, does Grit not know the first rule of surviving as a gladiator is to not make people promise to protect your loved ones?
Great snippet and welcome!
Adding my welcome to the others. Like Ed, I’ve made so many friends here, bought too many books (lol). This story sounds fascinating. I love buddy movies, and that’s what this feels like–along with being a romance.
