WIP Wednesday - Clan Companions: Matthew - Pre-Order Now

 

A companion in crisis

Blue eyes ran over tears. “I was certain he’d come for us when we were in your office. I swear, I saw his shadow over your shoulder, Avir. He was there. My mind said it made no sense, but I saw him, and his hands were covered in blood. He said he’d kill you.”

Hallucinations. Avir’s blood ran cold. Why hadn’t he listened to Kom? Why had he allowed what he wanted for Matt and his clan to discount his Nobek’s warnings? Kom tended to be dramatic and he often exaggerated, but Avir should have paid attention.

“We’ll see what the psychiatrist says, okay? You’ll talk to him tomorrow; I got you an emergency appointment. He’ll give us his recommendations, and we’ll discuss them together.”

“You don’t want to get rid of me? After what I did?”

Avir’s stomach churned at the despair in his expression and voice. “Hell, no. I want to fix this for you. I want you to be happy and stay here forever.”

“Until it happens again. Until it keeps happening. I can’t stop it.”

“We’ll find a way, Mattie. I promise. Whatever it takes.”

His past demons have returned, and only a Kalquorian clan can save him.

Matthew Larsen should be happy. Reunited with the Nobek he fell in love with years ago, welcomed into a clan determined to give him a better life, he has everything he never imagined possible. However, he’s haunted by the hellish past and certainty it will reclaim him.

Nobek Kom spent years searching for Matt. Their reunion and his clanmates’ acceptance of the troubled Earther seemed to be all that stood in the way of the perfect future. His Earther love isn’t so easily rescued, however. Even a warrior can’t protect someone against his nightmares.

Dramok Avir and Imdiko Masok are devoted to the beautiful Earther Kom brought home. Loving such a gentle soul isn’t a problem. Saving him from monsters, real and imagined, is another matter when Matt’s worst fears come true and the terrors of the past rise once again to drag him into the abyss.

WIP Wednesday - Clan Companions: Matthew - Pre-Order Now

 Old demons return in full force

“Do you think I’d let them hurt you? Or anyone in my clan? Who’s bigger, Matt? Who’s badder than any monster you’ve ever seen?” Kom demanded

Calm began to flicker in those blue eyes. “You.”

“Damned straight. Every day of the week, I’m the meanest motherfucker in existence. Nobody touches you, Avir, or Masok, because I’ll twist their necks until their skulls pop off. Do you hear me?”

“Yes.”

“Say it.”

“You won’t let anyone hurt us.”

“You just said the greatest truth in the galaxy. You’ll never speak a more honest sentence in your life.”

“Okay.” The tears had tapered off and reason had returned to his expression, but something in Matt’s voice sounded broken. Masok’s heart bled agony to hear it.

“I’ll help you up now. We’ll go in the restroom over there, you’ll wash your face, and we’ll go home. Got it?”

“Yeah.” His gaze rolled to take in Avir and Masok, and his lower lip trembled. “I’m sorry.”

“You did nothing wrong, Mattie.” Masok poured sincerity in his tone. Avir echoed the statement.

“We’ll talk about it at home.” Kom lifted him to his feet and kept him steady when his balance wavered. Anguish had settled over his strong features like an old acquaintance.
