Dark War Chronicles by A. L. Kessler Character Interview & Excerpt

Blurb:

A shifter with no control...

As a panther shifter stripped of her control Kassity has no choice but to be a killer for Lucius. Obeying the vampire was simply her way of life. Until Jaxon comes to town, bring trouble with him. When she recognizes Jaxon as her fated mate, Kassity must deal with betrayal, secrets and Lucius in order to be with him.

A war rages on...

Jaxon must decide who he is fighting for and against. What started as a simple job turns into a complicated game of hearts when he meets Kassity, the woman he thought he was rescuing.

But not everything is as it seems in Lucius' territory...

Excerpt:

Kass ran her hand against one of the evergreen trees that dominated Lucius’ mountain side property. Snow still dusted the peaks above the tree line, forming a nice white cap. The sounds of wild life running about around the land graced her ears and called to her panther, but she was forbidden from shifting. Some type of metaphysical block had been placed so she could feel her panther but not call it to the surface herself, the beast even leaned against it, fought against it, but nothing worked. She cursed Lucius and took a deep breath. Cold mountain air cleared her lungs, easing her anger as the crisp smell of spring leaves and another panther filled her senses. Her heart skipped a beat. Impossible. With another breath she knew there was no mistaking the scent.

 Footsteps echoed behind her, she spun in time to see a blur fly towards her and knock her to the ground. Air rushed from her lungs, but she managed to recover and rolled. Pinning the stranger to the ground with a hand to his throat, she met his gaze, sky blue eyes set in a soft face. The almost-too-delicate-for-a-male jaw line was sun kissed, and that amazing tan continued to the chiseled line of his abs and the delicious view disappeared into a pair of faded blue jeans. Kass licked her lips as the idea of tracing her tongue up his chest crossed her mind.

“Hey princess, eyes are up here.” He grumbled, putting an arm between them and pushing her off.

She didn’t fight him as she backed off and raised her eyes to meet his again. Now his shaggy light brown hair, a tad too dark to call blond, shadowed them, making the blue look darker. The panther in her urged Kass to nuzzle the stranger in front of her as they recognized the scent. “You’re a panther.”

“Just like you.” He nodded giving her a slow, sexy grin that showed just a hint of teeth with enough attitude to make a woman melt. “Do you pin every cat you meet to the ground?”

Coran still suffers from the loss of his first mate, but when Renee is attacked by shifters he is forced to protect her at all costs. Things heat up when he realizes fate has wickedly granted him a second chance at love. With the war causing the body count to rise, now is not the ideal time to find a mate.

The Circle is becoming desperate and something has Lucius worried which means trouble for his followers. It's a dance between danger and fate in this second installment of the Dark War Chronicles.

Character Interview:

What is your name?

Do you have a nickname?

My name is Tegan, I don’t really have a nickname, but Tegan is not my original name. My original name has been long forgotten.

What is in your refrigerator right now?

 Ale, leftover pizza and Chinese takeout is what is probably in my fridge right now, assuming someone hasn’t eaten the leftovers.

What is on your bedroom floor?

 On my bedroom floor is a discarded book, a pile of laundry in the corner and my laptop, yeah I know, not a good place for it.

What is on your nightstand?

 My nightstand is covered in books that have been read or I plan on reading soon.

Who is your funniest friend?

Renee is the funniest, because she knows just the right time to use her sarcasm to lighten the mood. If I’m in a bad mood, she’s the first person I call to talk to.

What is your biggest fear?

My biggest fear is going back to the life I had before Lucius rescued me. The past has left scars on my body and nightmares in my dreams.

What is your most treasured possession?

My butterfly collection, Lucius gives me a new butterfly figurine every year to add. It reminds me of the freedom I’ve gained when agreeing to become his bonded human.

Which living person do you most despise?

Markus. Pretty sure if I’m ever given the chance I will murder that bloodsucker.

What is your greatest regret?

Going into the market for the butterfly figurine that Lucius would have bought for me anyways.
