The Book Junkie Reads . . . Captive Creature . . .
Where shall I begin. I was desperate for more depth. More. More.
Just plain more. Gabriel was strong soldier. He was a strong man in general but
he was hiding part of himself to appease others. This would not do. I
had to have more information. There were thing that need more. I feel like
a repeating record. More is the name of this one. I just needed
more.
Scar (flash backs to Lion King) was the alpha of his
pack and he knew more than Gabriel was wanting to share. there was much her but
not enough shared with the reader. I was begging for more and then it was the
end. This was a very quick read. There was room for more to be
given.

BLURB
I thought I had nothing left to lose.
Betrayed and abandoned by those I
love, and captured by the enemy, I learned death is a privilege, not a right.
Nursing my vengeance and honing my hate is all I can do. Then he appears,
turning my black and white world upside down.
Scar Greyback is Alpha to the largest
werewolf clan in the region. Scar’s dominance frightens me, excites me. One
touch and I know I’m his. His to possess and control, maybe even to love, but I
can’t yield. I’ve been bred and trained all my life as a soldier to hunt his kind.
Accepting his mating call will doom us both, but once I start on this road to
hell, I can’t stop.
Hanging
naked with nothing but blood, grime, and sweat clinging to my skin, and chains
lashing my limbs to the rusty eyebolt on the ceiling, I recalled my beautiful
mother’s words.
God
gives only gives us what we can take. My mother whispered those words when she
tucked me in bed, along with other poisonous ones. Grow strong, Gabriel. Be my
avenging angel. Think of your father, your uncle, your brother. Every one of
the fallen needs our prayers, she said. Harden your body and heart, because our
enemies will show you no mercy.
It’s
the first time I felt true despair, but not my last. Two other bolts lie close
to mine, empty of captives, but even my human nose caught the tell-tale scent
of copper, spilled blood.
To
remain sane, I thought of other matters, anything to distract myself from my
inevitable death. Death has no favorites, the master of arms back at the
citadel always said. Still, the previous two occupants on either side of me
must have wished their demise didn’t come too soon. Are they still alive,
screams gagged by the endless rock walls and passages of Santa Olivia, the
underground home of the city’s most prominent animal groups?
“Fuck
this.”
Hearing
the sound of my voice startled me. I hardly recognized myself. Had I always
sounded so weak? I twisted in my chains, but it was futile. These chains are
built to hold supernatural captives, but I’m only human. There’s no longer any
fight in me. The fire in me has gone out, since the moment my friends and
allies betrayed me to the hands of the enemy.
I
whispered their names to the darkness, not as a prayer seeking salvation, but
as a curse. “Rafael. Michael. Pedro. Abraham.”
Every
member of the Soldier of God is christened with the name of an angel or saint.
Don’t ask me why. What we’re doing is for the good of humanity, our elders
often liked to say, but the truth? Few of the soldiers believed in noble deeds.
Most hunted the supernatural down not to cleanse the city of abominations, but
because killing is all we’re good at. What we’d been bred for.
Die
a noble death, a worthy one, some of my brothers and sisters would say, but it
was no longer funny once real fear kicked in. The sound of the heavy bolt to
the holding cell shifting made me still.
“Calm
the fuck down,” I hissed, but my body refused to obey.
My
heart quickened and my breaths came short. I’m Gabriel. Twenty-one-year-old
Soldier of God and today’s the day I die.
