Happy Sunday, lovelies and Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
I'm almost done with Nanowrimo, just another 10,000 words, so as soon as I post this I'm off to speed writing. LOL
Today's snippet takes place a few lines after last week's snippet. Reine has just seen something in the shadows and reality has come crashing in.
Enjoy the snippet and have a lovely day!

Reine
could do nothing. He was no longer a warrior. He was defenseless against the
Sins, but the worst was he could do nothing to protect the humans which he was
supposed to look after. He wanted to cry. He grasped his beer bottle and
finished it in one go. He needed something stronger, something that would make
him forget his miserable life. He didn’t need an Inferum in his head to feel
mindless anguish. The knowledge that he was maimed for life because of his own
foolishness was enough for him.

Reine's Salvation (Alpha Protectors I)
He’s the kind of man her
mother warned her to steer clear from...
Mystique is happy with her current life, but
for years she's struggled on a path of self-destruction. She knows she
shouldn't get involved with the brooding hunk at the bar, but how can she stay
away when his sorrowful gaze is so compelling?
Reine has lost everything: his wife, his
friends, his ability to fight, and his identity as an Alpha Protector. There's
nothing left for him except a world of anger and bitterness. At least, that’s
what he believes until he meets an intrepid waitress.
The attraction between them is immediate, but
while Reine can’t let go of his past, Mystique is not willing to return to
hers. With darkness constantly closing in, will they find a way to be together?
Or, will Reine's behavior destroy their future?

ReplyDeleteI wonder what it's going to take for him get through the devastation to realize he's not helpless? Although it would depend on how he's been maimed, I suspect he can come back from this in one way or another. Great scene!
