“I was intending to put off Sonny’s and my annual joining until the night of the full moon,” Tobias revealed. “That’s the sixth of this month. I’ve always managed to keep him out of the moonlight on the night of the full moon so he wouldn’t transform by surprise. He’s been so angry with me that I didn’t know how to broach the subject with him. But maybe with you here, and maybe with me showing mercy to the Queen by bringing her up here, I may be able to convince everyone to see things my way. I never intended harm to befall the Queen. I only need for Sonny to drink a bit of her blood. It wouldn’t do at all for him to transform into a perfectly ordinary lycanthrope, you see, not with as wondrous as he is. Would you not agree, dear Jemma?”

This snippet is from Full Moon Frenzy, the ninth installment of the Carnal Invasion series. It is due for release on February 20, 2019.
In this paragraph, Tobias Walton, the unscrupulous head of the mysterious Xquenda Industries, is explaining his motives to Jemma, a shape-shifting extraterrestrial from the planet Gamma Iridon, whom he forced to take the form of Felice Navidad, queen of the frost elementals.
Transforming into a wolf isn't special enough for this guy? At this stage I'm not quite sure what to think of him.
ReplyDeleteI could give you a few suggestions of what to think of Tobias, but i prefer to let readers form their own opinions. ;-)
Delete"Dear Queen, having kidnapped you I'm showing mercy by only taking a bit of your blood!" Yeah, that'll be convincing enough! Love his way of thinking :)
ReplyDeleteThat's Tobias, just as generous as can be! :-D
