The Half Blood

The Half Blood

Laura B.L.

Two shadowy figures walked toward each other, their gazes locked. With every step they took, they became more clear, the orange light flickering off of their almost-naked bodies. From where I stood, only their faces remained hidden.

The second they touched, my body lit up. As the man’s hands circled the woman’s hips, I felt his fingers dig into my own body. As he kissed her neck, I felt his lips against my skin, all the way down to my collarbone and back up to my ear lobe. His face was buried in her neck, hers was visible now. She had the very same blue eyes I had been looking at in the mirror my whole life. The woman in the vision was me…

When Nala, a half-witch half-werewolf hybrid, visits the Royal Lycan Realm, the last thing she expects to do is take part in the annual Hunt, an ancient mating ritual cherished by the Lycan King himself.
