Here's a little to tease you...
Jackson clutched
the stone wall of his chamber and gasped for air. What had just happened? He
had returned to Cymmera, of that he was certain, but how? He hadn’t accessed
the gateway. At least he didn’t remember opening it. A vision of her assailed
him, beat at him, reminded him that he’d failed.
Oh, man. He was in
trouble. He pushed away from the wall.
Images of his
target taunted him.
He shoved a chair
aside and tore through the pictures scattered across the table in a desperate
search for salvation. There. He pulled the shot from the mess but found only
condemnation. The long blond hair flowing behind her in the snapshot had not
been visible to him, but there was no mistaking the deep blue of her eyes.
The pounding of a
fist against the heavy wood door released him from whatever spell she’d cast.
“Jackson.” Another
loud thud punctuated his name.
He struggled to get
his bearings, tried to slow the racing of his heart. “Yeah, one minute.”
“Now. Your father
wants to see you, immediately.”
Kai, his father’s
most trusted warrior. He was in more trouble than he’d originally thought. Was
it possible the king would sentence him to death for ignoring a direct order?
Surely not without offering him a fair trial, or at least granting him the
opportunity to explain. But what could he say? What explanation could there be
for failing to deliver the girl? None.
“I won’t knock
again.” The warrior would soon break down the door and drag him before the
throne.
He crumpled the
offending photo, the evidence of his disgrace, into a ball. Instead of tossing
it in the trash as he’d intended, he shoved it into the small leather satchel
he wore at his waist. With a deep breath, he released the latch and pulled open
the door.
“Come.” Kai turned
his back on him and strode purposefully down the corridor, their footfalls
echoing through the silence of accusation.
The thought of
escape taunted him, but he would never make it out of the castle. He had only
recently completed his warrior training under Kai’s watch and would be no match
for the seasoned soldier. Besides, Kai was a stickler for the rules. If he
tried to run, the warrior would surely take him down, protégé or not.
Dani-Lyn Alexander lives on Long Island with
her husband, three kids and three dogs. She loves spending time with her
family, at the beach, the playground, or just about anywhere. In her spare
time, which is rare, she enjoys reading and shopping—especially in book stores.

baths and soft blankets. She’s an incurable insomniac and has an addiction to
chocolate.
