Book 4 of The Claimed Series Lena and Webb planned a life together. When Lena's mate passed after a short courtship, Webb had taken it upon himself to pick up the pieces and stitch her back together. Years later, Webb and Lena are together and wanting to start a family of their own, but when a new member returns to their community, all their hopes of forever together are dashed and Lena is left to make a terrifying and heartbreaking decision. "Hey." I turned around, not to see someone young, just barely out of his teens, but a grown man. A grown man looking at my Webb like he could lick him all over like a dripping soft-serve ice cream cone. My smile faded as I took in Webb's serious countenance. Dead serious. No. No. Not now. I slipped the test into my back pocket. "Hi," I said. "Listen-" he started to say. "No," I interrupted. "I get it." I looked over at the strange man - my man's true mate - and stuck a hand out. "I'm Helena. Nice to meet you." Not. "Hugo," he said, taking my hand gently. "Hugo Fallon. Webb told me about your circumstances, and I'm so sorry-" "No need," I said, voice sounding stronger than I thought it would. I must be in shock. I'm numb. "I understood this could happen, so there's no apology necessary." I looked to Webb whose face was a mirror of my own. Sad. Regretful. If he only knew how regretful mine was.

*RE-WRITING IN PROGRESS* * Excerpt * Emanuel leaned backwards now, elbows resting on the arms of his chair, his gaze steady and deliberate. The weight of it rooted Marcel in place. "I have a proposition in mind." Marcel's throat felt dry. "Proposition," he repeated carefully, as though the word itself might burn if he held it too long. "Yes," Emanuel said smoothly, almost lazily, as if the entire conversation were obvious. "I need someone beside me. Someone to play the role of my partner in public. To attend dinners, stand at my side at gatherings, accompany me to court. Nothing more." The words slid into Marcel's ears like ice water. His stomach knotted. Partner. The word echoed, sharp and wrong. He searched Emanuel's face for any sign of jest, but the King's expression remained calm, intent, almost predatory in its certainty. "You want me," Marcel said slowly, "to pretend... to be...your boyfriend." "Boyfriend sounds juvenile. We're not children. I tend to prefer the term 'lovers'." _________________________________________ Marcel has always hated the world of the rich and famous. As a young vampire, he has seen how the world moves in favour of the privileged. While people like him are left to fend for themselves and to pick up whatever scraps they can get. But when a lucrative job presents itself to him, Marcel was unexpected thrusted into the world that he has spent his entire life despising.
