Forbidden Love

He raised his hand to her cheek. “I’m glad you’re alive. I really am, but I can’t let Elijah take Rio to the vampires.” He turned behind him.
Keta let her eyes stray over his shoulder and saw his wife, Cecilia watching them with wide and tearful eyes as she rocked a baby in her arms. I missed the birth of his first daughter, because of Rio. A newfound anger surged through her veins like fire. She wanted to kill Rio with her bare hands, but when Liam touched her cheek again, and she saw the determination in his eyes, she knew he wasn’t about to let Rio be free.
“I want to take him myself. Anything to ensure my family is safe from his sick intentions.”
Keta turned to Elijah, her mouth open slightly with surprise. Elijah?
He bowed his head, keeping his eyes locked with Keta’s. “He can take Rio himself. I will give him that.”
And become pack leader.
Elijah repeated what she signed.
“Are you sure? Don’t you want to be pack leader? You are the oldest.”
Keta shook her head and turned to Elijah once more, knowing he would know what to tell her brother.
“You take the pack, but Katrina won’t be in it any longer. I’m giving her the freedom she finally deserves.”
Keta breathed in, her heart thumping hard in her chest. Without unlocking their gazes, she raised her hands. Please, it’s Keta. Katrina died when Rio betrayed her. She doesn’t exist anymore. He bowed his head again, a small smile forming. Keta couldn’t help the small smile that tugged on the corners of her lips while she watched Elijah move away from Rio so her brother and a few selected others could drag Rio to his feet. They hauled him away from the pack.
Elijah’s touch almost burned her skin as he pulled her into his body. She silently gasped when he crushed his lips against hers.
“Stay with me. I don’t care that our love is forbidden. I want you with me. I want you to be mine, and for me to be yours—equals and in a pack of our own.”
Really? Tears filled her eyes.
“Really, I love you, Keta. I love you with all my heart and everything I am.”
Oh, Elijah. Keta kissed him. I love you, too.
Elijah pulled her further into him, claiming her lips and leaving her breathless for more. “Let’s go home. We have a lot to plan for.”
Keta laced her fingers with his as they walked away from her old pack, and into a new life. She couldn’t turn back to say goodbye. She’d said it silently when she chose to take the name Keta. She didn’t belong anywhere but with Elijah now.
He was right—they had a lot to plan for. If they were going to be together, they would be hunted by both vampire and werewolves.
The secret about their forbidden pack wouldn’t stay one for long.
About the Author
I’m a talkative, hyperactive writer of Erotic Vampire Paranormal Romance books. I love both reading and writing, and I love listening to loud rock/hardcore music. I was born in Devon, Plymouth in 1991. I didn’t stay there for long and moved to Lincoln. I wasn’t always a lover of books, I was more an animal person then. I went to University of Lincoln, Riseholme College, where I studied an animal course for two years. It was only when I saw J.K Rowling’s, Harry Potter books that I start reading. Over the years, I read more books, including Twilight and House of Night and soon I became a huge lover of books. I love reading so much, and all the books that I’ve read have inspired to start writing my own, though reading vampire books did not inspire me to write vampire books myself, my dreams did that for me. I own more than a hundred books, mainly vampires, and read over double. I plan to have my very own library of books that I love and will continue to read repeatedly, without getting bored. I’m a true believer of all things supernatural, and hope that one day, I’ll have the pleasure of meeting one. I live in the middle of nowhere with my partner, Reece and my little zoo which consists of an army of hamsters, a hyperactive chinchilla called, Hektor, and four guinea pigs. We hope in the near future that we can get an army of guinea pigs, and chinchillas to add to the family. Along with a goat.
I have written a seven book series called the Cursed in Darkness series. They are Paranormal Erotica Romance books which tells the story of half-breed Layla as she goes about her daily life, struggling with her hunger for blood, to keep her secrets a secret and to keep out of Deaths hands as he constantly reaches out. I also am currently writing a spin-off series called World of Darkness.
