Tallulah Rising (The Field of Blood Book 3) Read online

  “Likely.” Hope blossoms, but I reassure, “I promise when we get home I won’t go to any more wars.”

  Quimby pulls me into his arms. “Just promise you’ll stay alive.”

  Resting my head against his t-shirt, I breathe, “Only if you three promise the same.”

  “You know we can’t promise that.” His lips brush against my ear as he whispers the words.

  Fingers clutching desperately at the material of his t-shirt, I fight to hold back the sob the anguish in his voice invokes. “Then don’t ask me to promise the same. Just accept that I want to be by your side.”

  Kenji and Theo come to stand at my back. Hands wrap around my waist and squash me between the three of them.

  Kenji’s chin rests on my shoulder. “I don’t think any of us will accept it, love. But we won’t stop you if it’s what you want.”

  Unable to hold back the constant stream of tears this time, they soak my cheeks. “I love you. All of you.”

  Theo’s hand rests against my still flat stomach as he presses a lingering kiss against my cheek. “And we love you.”

  In two days, we’ll face the Blood Moon pack at Akeldama, the Field of Blood, and end this war once and for all.

  About the Author

  The words tend to flow easier when I'm talking about my characters, but I always seem to get stuck when I try to talk about myself. So, where to start. I'm from the UK, although my body clock would prefer me to be on an American time zone. I have two children, and refer to them as mini me and monster. Mini me is almost six, and monster is seven. I have to admit that I wasn't ever the type of child or teenager to have my head stuck in a book, and I only started to take reading seriously when mini me became poorly. Lots of hospital visits meant I needed time to escape while the baby was sleeping… a book monster was born.

  Guilty secret

  I've not read or watched any Harry Potter. When I started reading I jumped straight in at the deep end with smut. Lots, and lots of smut.

  Where it all began.

  I joined a group two years ago and they introduced me to Fan-fiction. And this is where the real fun began. Two short months it took for a couple of wenches to convince me to try my hand at writing. While I thought I'd give it a shot with the intention of showing them how shockingly bad I was… it bit me royally on the backside because my friends wanted more.

  Now, two years have flown by, and I've gone from writing fan-fiction to writing my own original stories.

  SANGUINE: BLOOD SLAVE BOOK 1

  by HK Khan

  Vampires 'came out' nearly a century ago, and have convinced the world that they are model citizens. There are official donor centers where you can give your blood freely in exchange for the high that vampire venom can give you, and everything seems on the up and up. But that's not necessarily the case. There's a black market trade for blood slaves, and there, they try to strip you of everything that makes you human. Even your name.

  As with every society, there are rogues, and the rogue vampires see humans as their chattel and treat them as such. The Hunters, a secret organization of elite-trained men and women, track down the rogues in the shadows and protect humanity as best they can.

  It’s rare for someone to escape enslavement, but every so often, someone manages to break free, and if they’re lucky, they land, quite literally, in the arms of seven handsome Hunters.
