Six Sentence Sunday: Twilight’s Eternal Embrace #5
It's Six Sentence Sunday! This is the 5th tidbit from Twilight's Eternal Embrace. (vampire/historical/upper YA).
Twilight's Eternal Embrace is here! It was released a few days early in both print and ebook!! Yippee!!
In this scene: Adryanna's father confronts Bram, wanting to know his intentions. Bram swears he will keep her safe. But now he has questions. His people (vampires) do not age as the humans do. He is curious and asks Adryanna's father if the lines on his face hurt.
**********************************************************************************************************
The six:
"No, lad. These lines are my legacy of what I've endured. I have earned every worry line and every crease of happiness. Without them, I would not have lived. Let us hope one day Adryanna will have lines on her face to tell her story." Adryanna's father left him with those parting words, closing the door quietly behind him.
*********************************************************************************************************
I hope you enjoyed the six! I'd love to know your thoughts?

Six Sentence Sunday: Twilight’s Eternal Embrace #4
It's Six Sentence Sunday! This is the 4th tidbit from my WIP, Twilight's Eternal Embrace. (vampire/historical/upper YA).
In this scene: Bram fears for Adryanna's safety once he finds out his clan has been hiding their mistakes in the dungeon. The bloodlings that have died from blood loss, but have risen again are no longer human, but they are not entirely a vampire either. The blood lust rules their existence. Bram wants to scare Adryanna away from him and drags her down to the dungeon to see what her future will be if she stays with him. Death or Fiend...neither is promising.
Now the six:
“By all rights, you should leave this place and never return, but my sweet Adryanna, you prove not to be a coward. Do you not understand? I am not good for you,” he pleaded for her to open her eyes and witness the truth. “I will destroy you. I will destroy the tender compassion you hold in your heart, the light in your eyes will die, and all that makes me love you will cease to exist.”
“No, it will never happen.”

Six Sentence Sunday: Twilight’s Eternal Embrace #3
It's Six Sentence Sunday! This is the 3rd tidbit from my WIP, Twilight's Eternal Embrace. (vampire/historical/upper YA).
Blurb: Adryanna, a Lathe Sith, mourns the death of her recently mated sister, but she finds solace in the most unlikely place—in the arms of Bram, an Oiche Sith. She should fear him, loathe his existence, but instead she longs for their twilight embraces. Bram admires Adryanna’s strength and wishes only to protect her, even if it’s from him.
If Bram cannot find a way for Adryanna to survive the blooding ritual the romance is doomed. They seek help from Sheerin, Bram’s cousin, who believes he’s found a way for the Lathe Sith to survive, but others in the Oiche Sith clan do not wish for them to succeed.
***********************************************************************************************************************
In this scene: Bram and Adryanna have been meeting regularly and their passion for each other has grown more bold. They've taken shelter in a cave to wait out the storm. Adryanna sleeps, but Bram cannot sleep...
The rain pelted against the rocks outside, a constant lull of comfort. He had always loved the rain, the clean smell of it and the pitter-patter sounds it made as it fell against the castle walls—both, peaceful and beautiful. His gaze traveled over Adryanna. The rain calmed him and brought him contentment, soothing away thoughts of aggression. Adryanna’s presence in his life did the same, making him want to embrace the calmer aspects of his existence. The demon inside of him may want to take her and use her, but the man wanted to keep her safe.

Six Sentence Sunday: Twilight’s Eternal Embrace #2
It's Six Sentence Sunday! This is the 2nd tidbit from my WIP, Twilight's Eternal Embrace. (vampire/historical/upper YA).
Blurb: Adryanna, a Lathe Sith, mourns the death of her recently mated sister, but she finds solace in the most unlikely place—in the arms of Bram, an Oiche Sith. She should fear him, loathe his existence, but instead she longs for their twilight embraces. Bram admires Adryanna’s strength and wishes only to protect her, even if it’s from him.
If Bram cannot find a way for Adryanna to survive the blooding ritual the romance is doomed. They seek help from Sheerin, Bram’s cousin, who believes he’s found a way for the Lathe Sith to survive, but others in the Oiche Sith clan do not wish for them to succeed.
**********************************************************************************************************************
In this scene: Adryanna (human) has just found out her sister has died. Bram(vampire) convinces Adryanna to go with him even though it is forbidden for them to be together without permission from the elders. He brings her to cliffs that overlook the sea, a place special to him. He hopes to distract Adryanna from her grief and perhaps forge a friendship.
Here's the six: This is Bram speaking, but it is in Adryanna's POV.
“Twilight is beautiful and mysterious with the sky neither completely lit nor completely dark.” He had a beautiful voice meant for song and the deep resonance with a touch of roughness soothed her. His head tilted to the side as he regarded her quizzically. “Twilight is the melding of both day and night as if they could prove amicable for a few precious hours.” His hand touched her cheek and his thumb brushed away a tear. “Like you and I, perhaps?”
