This week’s excerpt is from Fangs and Fists: Grit, picks up where last week’s left off. Grit wakes up with most of his memory erased. He remembers mostly feelings and his young son Jett, who has fled to the safety of wolf country with his mother and her new mate, Bolt.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
Despite his murky memories, Grit knew Bolt was loyal. He knew Bolt loved Jett and Kiara. She had belonged to Grit once, but only by the will of the masters. Kiara and Bolt loved each other as mates should, and in a way that he and Kiara never could.
Now Grit wasn’t sure if he could love at all, and surely no woman could ever love him — a creature raised from the dead by a demon.
One of the soulless.
The woman and two men who stood across the room now approached. The tallest of the three was a tough-looking man with a shaved head and stern blue eyes. He had rugged features and a muscular build visible beneath his snug jeans and long sleeved blue T-shirt. By the look of him, he might have been a gladiator himself.
And a bit more, if you’d like to go on:
There was something familiar about him, though Grit had no memory of meeting him before.
“Grit, these are the rebel leaders,” Zari said. She pointed to the rugged one first. “This is Gunner, the Alpha Wolf of Detroit, but you probably know about him already.”
Grit wished he could say he’d met Gunner, but memories of his life as a wolf were murky. Still, he knew the Alpha commanded respect.
No Alpha remained in power without earning his place.
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.
