Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent!! Squee!!
Follow
Greta Shore (a 17-year-old, black-haired wiccan beauty) and Paxton
"Pax" Craig (an 18-year-old, blond-haired college student with a dark
secret) as they discover the fate of their forbidden love.
****
Set-up (last week)... Greta runs away from her surprise engagement party through the woods. Pax saves her from a shadow demon. Oh, and he's a unicorn!
Back at Pax's cabin, Greta and Pax talk. He tells her the demon wants immortality so she asks him... Are you immortal?

“No.” He took a long drink from his mug, while I let out a mental sigh of relief. “But my blood can be. Under the right circumstances.”
“How?” Curiosity won out over manners.
His lips flattened and his brows knit together. “We don’t talk about it. The Order has rules for a reason.”

Oh heck, I can see why they don't talk about it. It would be like giving away a secret recipe. Nice snippet. Every week they find a bit more about each other.

Thanks Cindy! You're exactly right about the 'secret recipe'! ;)
DeletePoor unicorns, people been drinking their blood for centuries looking for immortality. Nice job pulling the story forward Karen. I like the short tense sentences.
ReplyDeleteUnicorns have it rough! Thanks Millie! :D
DeleteI'm wondering what he was drinking! I can't wait to see how his secret unravels... thanks Karen!
ReplyDeleteHe's sippin' coffee ;) Thanks Susan! More to come!
DeleteSo of course now I want to know even more LOL. Loving this story, another excellent excerpt!
ReplyDeleteWoot!! Thanks so much Veronica! :)
DeleteYou're such a tease, leaving us with that question. I'll be back.
ReplyDeletelolz Do what I can ;) Thanks Elaine!
DeleteYes, one doesn't want to give away uses for one's blood--especially to a potential enemy.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Thanks Sue Ann! :D
DeleteI was wondering if he had blood that could be used for achieving immortality--and I can certainly see why he wouldn't want to encourage people to try with any information at all!
ReplyDeleteYup, it's kind of their Achilles heel ;) Thanks Caitlin!
DeleteHe could have just said no, now she's really going to want to know.
ReplyDeleteShe definitely will! Thanks Ella! :D
