So, I had another one of my flighty moments last week. I posted an excerpt on my blog for WIP IT UP WEDNESDAY, but I didn’t post the link on the blog hop. Sorry. You can trust me to do this at least once a month. LOL!!

This week I’m continuing from my upcoming release, Outcast, Supernaturals Book 2, a paranormal romance. I’m not reposting the same post I posted last week since some people might have read it. If you haven’t read the post, you can click here to do so.

This excerpt comes a few paragraphs into chapter 5. In this scene, we see how fed up with Pine Hollow Ryan and Danielle are, and how much they love Leigh.

In the hour between the rehearsal and the dinner, I had slipped away to see if I could catch her scent in the hopes of pretending to run into her somewhere, but all I got was the hours old smell of her in the lobby and in the elevator we took to her floor. I took that same elevator and got off down the hall from her room. Her scent was stronger there and was an indication that she hadn’t left her room since she got there. I paced the long hall for about ten minutes, trying to gather the nerve to knock on her door, and just when I thought I would, Dave called wanting to know where I was. Even though I had wanted to throttle him for the second time that day for interrupting me while I contemplated all the ways I would have Leigh, he was a nervous wreck and needed a drink, and I couldn’t deny him.

Leigh didn’t slip from my mind completely after that, but when I got to the bar in the restaurant we would be eating at and saw how pale my friend was, I shoved everything else out of my mind and focused on him. He wasn’t nervous about marrying Danielle. He loved her, but his family was stressing him about everything. He and Danielle wanted to live outside pack territory for a little while, they didn’t want to start a family right away, and when they did move back to pack land, they wanted to live away from both of their families—all things his family and the Council were having a fit over.

“You look about as bad as I feel,” Dave said, when I took a seat beside him at the bar. “Want to talk about it?”

“Nope. There’s nothing to discuss. Today’s all about you. You want to tell me what’s bothering you?” I asked, ordering a Coors Light from the bartender.

“Nope,” he said, mimicking me. “I just want to drink.”

“Don’t drink too much. This night isn’t over.”

“I know. Why did you have to talk me into having my bachelor’s party last weekend? Tonight I could really use that kind of a release.”

“Because I didn’t want you puking all down the front of Danielle’s pretty dress tomorrow morning. She wouldn’t forgive either one of us if that happened.”

“No, she wouldn’t. Thanks for that. We did get pissed, and I did spend all day Saturday sick to my stomach. I thought we had better constitutions than that.”

“Usually we do. You just set out to see if you could get that drunk. That liquor store we went to probably closed after we left…you spent so much money. And that was on top of what was already waiting for us at the cabin. I bet you won’t do that again, will you?”

“Not on your life. I thought I was dying.”

“For a second there I thought you were as well. I’m glad you lived. Danielle would have taken my balls for that.” We both burst into laughter until a familiar voice spoke behind us, freezing our expressions.

“I would have taken your balls for what?” Danielle asked, stepping in between us and looking at me.

“Nothing,” I said, trying not to look at Dave’s shaking head behind her.

She narrowed her eyes at me, but I held strong.

“Dave, what did your friend do and to whom did he do it too?” she asked, turning to her husband-to-be.

“Ryan didn’t do anything to anyone.”

“Then what am I missing?”

“We were talking about last weekend.”

“And…”

Sighing, Dave said, “We were talking about how much we drank. And Ryan was saying that if he had let me have too much to drink that night you would have had his balls.”

“This is true,” she said, grabbing Dave’s beer and downing the last half of it as we stared on in awe.

 That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed it.

Outcast, Supernaturals Book 2, a paranormal romance.

 Leigh Alexander has lived every day of her life feeling like an outcast amongst her family and the small-minded people of Pine Hollow, a secretive community to which her parents belong. When Danielle, Leigh’s younger sister, asks Leigh to come home for her wedding, Leigh’s torn between wanting to be there for her sister and saving herself from people who’ve despised her all of her life.

 Knowing she’ll regret her decision, Leigh gives into her sister and goes home for what she hopes is the last time. Leigh was prepared for people to ignore her, for them to shun her, for them to point out all the ways she didn’t belong all because she wasn’t a size perfect, but what she hadn’t been prepared for was falling for Ryan Hart, a man who she will soon learn knows all of the secrets her family and the town of Pine Hollow refuse to tell her.

 Revealing the truth about Pine Hollow and the rest of the supernatural world might be forbidden, but to save Leigh’s life, Ryan will tell her everything about who she is, or more importantly who she isn’t, even if it will forever change her life and the lives of every person in Pine Hollow.
