Excerpt
The stench of decayed flesh stole her breath. Fighting to get away, the chains tore into her tender skin, his laughter echoing in her thoughts. There he stood, eyes glowing, teeth coated in blood. Excruciating pain seeped into her body as the demon’s crimson fangs ripped into her throat. Jordan screamed, pleading for him to stop. Gulping for air, heart beating way too fast, she blinked back tears and swallowed. Knowing her life would end tonight.
The creature smiled as he drank from her. For tonight, her essence would give him the power he sought for centuries. Her death would make him invincible, stronger than the elders of his kind. Sensing her heartbeat nearly gone, his fangs dug in deeper. Pure ecstasy began flooding through his body, until another of his kind ruined everything.
Robbed of strength from destroying the creature, he placed the woman in his arms. He whispered a silent prayer, thanking the fates her heart was still beating, barely… Her life rested in his hands, for he was her only hope!
Wrapped in her savior’s arms, floating deeper into a dark abyss, death called out to her. Then Jordan sensed his subtle voice, whispering into her thoughts. Promising her, vowing, “If it took his last breath… He would not let her life end this night”.
