were promised weight loss, the cure for Cancer, Parkinson’s Disease and
infertility; they were promised hope.

Mara
faces seemingly insurmountable obstacles and adversities as she works

Sebastian manage to face each act of violence, each tragedy, and
terrifying sight with a strength which won’t bend to any confrontation.
“Gritty,
violent, tragic and terrifying, this whole series also manages to be touching,
romantic and at times, even sexy…..”

Excerpt
from Bound:
Though
I’d read a lot of books in preparation for being a mom myself, I’d never
thought I’d be helping someone else give birth. Certainly not in an army camp’s
rifle range. I knew that walking was good, so that was the first objective.
“Sebastian, I need you to help me get her up,” I called to him, while I tucked
myself under one of her arms. Sebastian approached cautiously.
“I
mean it, grab her arm and help me get her up,” I said. He took a deep breath
and helped Momma stand, where she moaned and wobbled, then tried to lie back
down.
“No,
not yet. Walking first,” I said, encouraging her to step out with me. She took
one step, than another and soon we were making our way around the perimeter of
the range, her breathing improving and her face relaxing. A contraction would
hit and she would pause but then keep going. I smiled at her and made soothing
noises, occasionally touching her belly to feel the muscles contract. Sebastian
watched all of this from a distance with a very strange look on his face, one I
couldn’t identify and was too busy to analyze. When the other members of the
pack tried to approach me and Momma he growled at them, letting us have our
space.
We
walked for an hour and I could see that Momma was getting tired. I took her to
the back of the overhang and found a relatively clean, dry spot for her to lie
down.
It
was then that the contractions really started. Her whole body would tense and
the muscles across her stomach would ripple and harden. Momma would sit up, her
hair plastered to her face with sweat as she bore down.
“That’s
it sweetheart. You can do it.” I looked between her legs, the crown of the
baby’s head showing clearly.
I
smiled up at her. “The baby’s almost here, another push.” She leaned forward
and let out a wail as she screamed along with a contraction and pushed. The
baby’s head and shoulder slid free; a second push and I caught the babe and
helped guide it the rest of the way out as Momma collapsed back to the ground,
one more contraction and the placenta came out right after. I used a hair
elastic to tie off the umbilical cord. Hardly sanitary, but it was all I had.
“It’s
a girl!” I shouted and brought the tiny angel child around to show Momma. The
little one let out a wail and I laughed, tears of happiness trickling down my
face. If Momma could have a baby that was so obviously human, could do this in
the wild with no doctor, it gave me hope for us all.
Momma
propped herself up on her elbows and reached for the baby, her eyes wide and
staring. A cold chill swept over me. The baby was definitely human; would Momma
accept her or would she try to eat her? Or was the intensity I saw a look of a
mother wanting to hold her firstborn?
Momma’s
fingertips brushed the baby girl, a look of hunger flashing over her face, a
drive so intense that I knew even her own child wouldn’t be spared. I wanted to
believe that what was human inside Momma would override the animal instinct to
eat another species’ helpless newborn, but as Momma opened her mouth and
snapped at the wailing baby girl, I had to accept this for what it was.
A
complete and utter disaster.
