Excerpt from Snake Charmer by Saloni Quinby

(M/M Erotic Paranormal)

This city stinks. It’s not like the mountains where I grew up. The smell of gasoline was rare. Smog and smoke? Never. I was happy there. Free. Rogue wolf, they call me. I’d rather live alone than belly up to any alpha, but when the demons came, when my kind was threatened, everything changed for me. It’s still unbelievable. Like a nightmare. Wolves hunted on our own land, rounded up and slaughtered or imprisoned in the hellish towers that have risen all around the world. Rumor has it that my kind are used as entertainment — pitted against each other to fight to the death for the amusement of demons. After all I’ve seen, there’s nothing I wouldn’t believe anymore.

Someone’s screaming. Even with my heightened senses it’s hard to tell the difference between a cry for help — and there are so many — and shrieks of demonic joy mixed with general pandemonium.

I slow my bike just enough to spin around and fly down a dark side street. Three pale-faced, dark-eyed demons toss around a black- haired vampiress. She hisses, cat-like, and fights back, but they toy with her, letting her land a few blows before smacking her down. She smashes face down on the pavement and even before I cut the engine on my bike I hear her nose break and smell blood.

Gagging, she pushes herself weakly to her hands and knees, but one of the demons — a gangly blond — presses his booted foot to her back, pinning her to the ground. He and his two buddies turn to me.

“What are you staring at?” a dark-haired demon sneers in my direction, his black eyes glittering.

I don’t speak, but stride toward them, hands flexing at my sides. My inner wolf awakens. Time for my nightly workout.

“Hey, ugly, are you deaf? Mute? Maybe you’ve lost your tongue?” taunts the blond.

Ugly? I nearly laugh at that bullshit insult, but I’m not about to break my silence because it can be more intimidating than the loudest words.

Blurb:

Skye: I’m a lone wolf, but I’ve left the forest to fight against demons who’ve taken over the world. Right now I’m with a pack in Baltimore, but their alpha respects my ways. I take assignments from him, but I live alone and fight alone — until the night I’m attacked by a swarm of bat demons and a hot little snake dancer jumps in to back me up. For me, it’s lust at first sight, but it’s more than that. I think this adorable little tough guy is my mate, even though he’s not a wolf.

Erik: I’m called Snake Charmer. Dancer. Contortionist. Spirit twin to an alien serpent who has always been my protector. My life has been a series of horrors with some beautiful experiences tossed in. I’ve learned to be independent, especially after my best friend and I were brutalized in an attack that left her dead. Now I’m out for revenge, and it’s brought me to Maryland, directly into the path of a gorgeous werewolf who makes me feel things I never dreamed of. It can’t last, though, and nothing, not even desire this deep, will come between me and my vendetta.

Warning: While set in a futuristic paranormal reality, Snake Charmer includes references to previous child abuse, rape, and murder that may be triggers to some readers.
