A Bigger Wolf #weekendwritingwarriors #shifters #werewolves

Posted on July 3, 2022 by Kate

Welcome to the Weekend Writing Warriors blog hop during which writers share 8-10 sentences from their work.

This week’s excerpt is from Grit, the second story in my Fangs and Fist series.

Thank you for stopping by!

Excerpt:

At one time, Grit had been a prized gladiator. Then he’d been killed in the arena.

Glancing at the metal claws on his fingertips, he strained to recall that last match. All he could remember were small flashes of a bigger wolf tearing his throat. He placed a hand to it, feeling the cool metal that covered what had once been a gaping wound.

Then he had awakened in a cold, dark chamber, his only company the silent bodies around him and the voice of the demon who had resurrected him whispering in his thoughts. In his sleep, he had been there in the chamber again, and he remembered.

Jett. His son.

The boy was gone now — safe in the care of his mother, Kiara, and her mate, Bolt, on their way back to wolf country.


Grit
(Fangs and Fists)

by Kate Hill

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.
