Excerpt from Day's Light
“Please,
hold on. You must.”
That
deep voice again—one that commanded attention but also promised safety. It
plucked at his soul. Mark opened his eyes, his gaze frantically darting about. A streetlight illuminated the interior, and it didn’t take much to figure out he
was in the back of some sort of huge SUV. The third seat was down, and he was
sprawled out across it.
“Can
you hear me?”
His
gaze zeroed in on the person who spoke, and his breath caught as he examined
the face before him—the strong chin, the chiseled cheekbones, the eyes a deep
chocolate brown. Short dark blonde hair fell over the man’s forehead. He was
the very picture of male perfection.
And
a complete stranger—a complete stranger who’d taken him from the scene of his
parent’s murder. Mark’s heart rate surged… then sputtered. The burning agony in
his gut flared.
“Hey,
hey, calm down. Shit. Braxton! How much longer until we’re home?”
“Thirty
minutes, at least, Alpha.”
Mark
stiffened. That word—Alpha.
“Then
drive faster!”
“Are
you kidding me? I don’t dare drive any faster. The very last thing we
need is to get pulled over by the human cops while we have some stranger
bleeding out in the backseat. And speaking of that, Zane is going to shit
fucking kittens. This SUV is his baby. Also, holy shit, did I mention I can
smell that human’s blood?”
