#8Sunday: Tortured by the Erebus ~ Excerpt from BRYCE #scifi #romance

Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!

I’m going to stick with BRYCE until the end of the month.  By then BEYOND REACH should be ready to start sharing. In last week’s excerpt, Bryce was at a real battle scene with his squad, and there was a Defender in the distance who was surrounded by Erebus. I’m continuing with that scene… (edited from published version)

Two Erebus stood on either side of the Defender, their tentacles wrapped around his arms and legs, like they wanted to pull him apart. Playing, no tormenting him.

Bryce fired, never letting up on the trigger. He’d seen the creatures kill before but not torture their prey. Absolutely unheard of.

The Erebus dropped the Defender before they slumped to the ground, dead. But, he hoped the man in the blood-stained blue fatigues between them had survived. The rest of Echo downed any remaining enemies, plowing a path for him to retrieve the fallen Defender.

The lapel on the shredded suit read Jager. Bryce touched the kid’s neck and found a pulse.

BRYCE: Galactic Defenders Book One

A dedicated Defender…

Bryce fell in love once, but after Lalia was ripped away from him, he locked his heart from feeling anything for anyone else. Instead, he devotes his life to the Galactic Alliance, killing every bloodthirsty Erebus he comes across.

A shunned princess…

Lalia Comosova fell in love with the wrong man. When her parents learned of her transgressions, they sent her to Earth to hide her error in judgment from the rest of the kingdom.

A second chance?

When these lovers are reunited after many years apart, they have a chance to find happiness together. But fate steps in and threatens to rip them apart as it did years ago.
