EXCERPT:
As my feet pounded against the
sand, I could hear someone behind me, chasing me, but I didn’t slow down. I
pushed harder but it didn’t matter because a set of strong hands caught my arms
in an instant and whirled me around. I was not expecting it to be the man it
was, the one who hadn’t cared to acknowledge me from the very beginning.
My breath came out raspy from
running, but I immediately pulled out of his grasp and glared at him. “What do
you want?” I hissed.
He clenched his jaw and sighed. If
I was reading his gaze correctly he almost looked worried for me, but that
definitely couldn’t be right … right?
“I saw you run out of the palace
and I wanted to make sure you were all right. Are you leaving?” he asked.
I snorted and rolled my eyes
incredulously. “Yes, I am. So if you’ll excuse me I need to saddle my horse and
get the hell out of here.” I turned to walk away, making sure to keep my chin
in the air with dignity after being humiliated by him on numerous occasions. I
groaned when I looked over and noticed he was keeping his pace beside me.
“I’ll accompany you,” he insisted.
“It’s the least I can do.”
I didn’t know what came over me,
but I burst out laughing. I whirled on him and placed my hands on my hips,
narrowing my eyes at him. “The least you can do?” I muttered sardonically. “I’m
sorry, Prince Brayden, but the least you can do is leave me alone. I think you’ve
done enough. I hate that talking to me is such an inconvenience to you.”
Brayden closed his eyes and
lowered his head. He ran his hands over his face and groaned before lifting his
chocolate brown gaze to mine. “Talking to you is not an inconvenience,
Princess. You need to understand that this is all new to me. Your ways are very
different from mine.”
That was
definitely true, I thought to myself.
“That may be the case,” I snapped,
“but it doesn’t give you the right to be an ass to me. You humiliated me in
front of everyone in the Spring Court, and today you refused to talk to me or
even look at me. I stayed with you day and night when you were injured because I wanted to. You fascinated me, and I
thought there was more to you than what you let on, but I was wrong.”
Even saying those words felt wrong.
My heart was warring with me to take them back, but I couldn’t. When Brayden
tried to reach for my hand, I backed away and swallowed hard, shaking my head
against the tears that stung behind my eyes. You cannot fall, I repeated over and over in my mind. I did not
want to cry in front of him or show him any weakness whatsoever.
My gaze never faltering, I looked
straight at him and said, “We’ll figure out another way to save our land. There
has to be another way. I may be young, but I’m not going to put up with your
bullshit, even if we are destined to be together.”

AUTHOR
BIO:
I am an avid reader that loves my collection
of books. Writing has always been a passion of mine and now I am glad
that I get to share my passion with the world. I live in North
Carolina and I absolutely love being a southern girl. I spent several
years in college starting out with a major in Psychology and then
switching to dental. I worked in the dental field for eight years and
then decided to stay home with my two beautiful girls. I spent the beginning
of my reading years reading suspense thrillers, but now I can't get away
from the paranormal/fantasy books. I knew ever since then that
if I wrote anything it would be in a paranormal aspect. Now that I
have started on my passion and began writing, you will not see me go
anywhere without a notebook and pen.
