WeWriWa is a blog hop in which writers post 8-10 sentences from their work. This week, I’m offering a snipped from Grit, the second story in my Fangs and Fists series. Thank you for stopping by.
The Alpha’s piercing gaze remained fixed on Grit, but the scrutinizing look didn’t disturb him. Grit respected the Alpha, but he didn’t fear him. Maybe, somewhere deep inside, he was still a wolf warrior after all.
“You’re honest,” the Alpha said. “I like that. I require it from members of my pack and from allies.”
“I hope you consider me an ally and maybe one day, I can earn my way into the pack.”
“It’s possible. I have an assignment for you. Accepting it is a good way to start.”
About Fangs and Fists: Grit
(Erotic Paranormal Romance)
Werewolf gladiator Grit faced his own mortality in the arena, only to be resurrected by a demon. Grit now lives a shadowy existence as one of the soulless, remembering only bits and pieces of his former life. Nonetheless, he recognizes evil and knows he must fight for the future of his young son, as well as the rest of the world.
Zari, a vampire warrior, helped Grit escape the tower where he had been imprisoned. She had feelings for Grit when they’d first met, but at the time he had been mated to another wolf. Now that he’s on his own, they’re free to explore their feelings as they fight side by side as part of the rebellion against the demons. In the midst of war, their love grows, but danger is everywhere.
Haylen, the demon who resurrected Grit, offers a bargain that may save or destroy the rebellion. Whatever the outcome, Zari and Grit intend to face it together and explore the once forbidden passion between them.

I enjoyed the dynamic between these two.
I admire him giving due respect but not bending before the Alpha. Nice scene setting up the balance between them.
I’m curious to know what his assignment is going to be.
I bet the assignment will be something else.
They seem to have a mutual respect for one another, which bodes well for a future association. They still seem wary, and rightly so, and I too liked their dynamic. Nice snippet!
Sounds like Grit is a fearless kind of guy. At least he and the alpha seem to have developed a mutual respect for one another.
These are two very strong-willed men, and you wrote this interaction between them well. Not a lot of tension, but I can sense their respect.
A good snippet! Love the premise of this story. 🙂
