Shannan Albright’s Dark Hunter—A Dark Breed Enforcers novella—part of the Eggcerpt Exchange
Vampire Mari Ankamunan struggles to pick up the
pieces of her life after her bar The Asp becomes a war zone between the
Enforcers and members of the Preservation Society, who want all dark breeds
wiped out. The sudden appearance of the only man she ever loved brings her
world to a crashing halt, for she witnessed his brutal murder two thousand
years ago.
Navar’s spoken oaths to his Sire cost him Mari. Torn
from her side by the sidhe queen, he is her Hunter, delivering justice for
crimes against the breeds. Now freed, he returns to his lover’s side only to be
caught in a dark plot where Mari is targeted for death.
The stakes are high: can they uncover a deadly plot
against the Enforcers, or will Navar lose Mari forever by an assassin’s hand?
Eggcerpt:
“I will do everything in my power to protect her,
even lay down my life if it comes to that.” Navar’s words rang in the still
air, spoken as an oath.
“Marcus will be relieved to find out Mari is well
protected. I know after the incident with the Preservation Society, he has been
concerned for her safety. Someday you must tell me how you secured your
release.”
Mari blinked at the two men, feeling left out of the
loop in the XY-chromosome chat. Males.
Can’t live without them and can’t kill
them. Irritation spiked into the red zone, her patience threadbare for the
bullshit. Placing her diminutive self between the two towering males, she gave
them both a fearless glare and fisted her hands on her hips.
All conversation stopped as they stared down at her
with surprise. Good, now she had their attention. “I’ve been alive since the
time of Cleopatra. I didn’t survive all those centuries by being a fucking weak
female. I can fight, strategize, and I damn well have enough intellect in this
‘girly’ brain to figure out what I need to do to save my own hide, thank you
very much. Now, if you don’t mind talking to
me, not about me, it would be appreciated and might save your ball sacs from
relocating somewhere north on your body. Are we clear, boys?”
Adrian threw his head back and roared a large
rolling laugh that reverberated throughout the room. She blinked in surprise.
She’d never once seen any enforcer laugh. Sure, they smiled, chuckled, and even
smirked, but never laughed. She found it…disconcerting.
“Point taken. You will have your hands full with
this little hellion, hunter. I don’t envy you.”
“Little hellion indeed. Yet well worth the extra
trouble,” Navar agreed, his pale eyes darkening with hunger.
