Here's a little sneak peek at the opening paragraphs to Testing Fate ...
One moment I was
standing in the trial room and next I was gone—surrounded by darkness. My lungs
burned and a squeezing sensation filled my chest, robbing me of breath. Just
as I was on the verge of passing out, the world burst into an explosion of
color and I dropped to my knees struggling for air.
“What the hell just
happened?” I gasped, my voice ragged. I focused on controlling my panting. My
head pounded without mercy and my body felt like it would keel over. It was the most
disturbing feeling I’d ever experienced and I wanted to kill the one who’d
inflicted it on me.
“Calm yourself, young
one. Take deep, steady breaths. The discomfort will pass if you don’t fight it,” a
soft voice whispered in my ear and I followed her instructions. Slowly the
dizziness faded, taking the waves of nausea with it, and I was able to stand
without the world spinning around me.
“Where are we?” Mason
demanded, his voice filled with annoyance. I watched Devlin place a cautionary hand on Mason’s
shoulder, warning him his temper wouldn’t be appreciated by the three Fates standing huddled together - watching us. Mason nodded and corrected himself. “I
apologize. I’m simply curious why you’ve brought us here.” He bowed his head in
deference to the women and his body relaxed into a less threatening stance.
“This once we will
forgive you, Alpha of the Mystic Wolves. We understand your concern and need to
protect. We felt it was important to remove the necessary parties from your
Council’s meeting room and bring you here,” Atropos replied, gesturing to our
surroundings.
“And where exactly is
here?” Mason asked. He moved to take my hand, his fingers wrapping around mine
and squeezed.
