PLEASE READ FIRST:
Okay y'all. We're starting the Tuesday Teaser back, and it's Hudson's book. I can NOT stress this enough--if you have not read Of Love and Shadows, do not start these teasers because there are massive spoilers right here at the very start!!!
In fact, I'd go as far as to say read all the Daemon of San DeLain books first, otherwise you're gonna be kinda lost.
Daemons of San DeLain series:
Chasing Shadows #1
Shadows Embrace #2
Of Love and Shadows #3
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Edge of Darkness, Dragons of San DeLain #1
Chapter One - Hudson
“IT’S OVER.”
Hudson sank into his desk chair, holding his cell phone to his ear. “What? What do you mean? What’s over? Kage? What’s going on?”
“Nox is dead.” Kage sighed heavily. “And he left a mess for me to clean up. Fucker attacked my mate and exposed us to a human before he drew his last breath.”
Hudson blinked several times in shock. “Are you okay? Is Austin? Do you need me? That bastard.” Hudson’s quiet workday had suddenly been turned on its ear.
“Yes, well, funny you should use that particular word. He really was a bastard, meaning that he was born outside of wedlock. Want to guess who his father was? I’ll give you a hint—it was mine.”
“Holy fuck, Kage.” Stunned didn’t even start to describe what Hudson was. “Are you telling me that Nox is, shit, I mean was, your half-brother? What the hell? And how the hell do you know this? Are you sure you can trust your source?”
Kage’s laugh bordered on bitterness. “Oh yes, I’m absolutely sure. Do you have time to talk? I kind of need to unload. Be warned, it’s a long story.”
“I have all the time in the world.” Even if he didn’t, he’d make the time. “Tell me.”
“I guess the best starting point would be to update you on what’s going on with Axel because that indirectly plays into what happened. Have you ever heard of the Council of Wolves?”
“I have, yes. They’re a bunch of puffed up assholes who think their shit doesn’t stink.”
“By the dead gods, you got that right.” Kage took a deep breath then began.
The more Kage talked, the more Hudson’s mouth dropped open. He didn't interrupt because he could hear how hard this was for Kage—his voice shook. That bothered Hudson tremendously. Kage wasn’t one to show his emotions freely.
The sheer audacity of Nox was breathtaking in its arrogance. And as much as he hated to admit it, pretty smart too. Involving the human, Kit, that Austin was friendly with, was brilliant. Horrifyingly so. He felt sorry for Kit. What a way to get introduced to their world.
Nox was Kage’s stepbrother. Hudson couldn’t wrap his mind around it. No wonder Kage’s emotions were all over the place. He’d gone his entire life without knowing this, and then to find out in such a way? Yeah. Hudson could hear the anger but also the sadness in Kage’s voice.
