Excerpt of 'Not Juliet' by Ella Medler
Luca buried his face in her hair, trying to save his eyesight. Riella was lethal. She would have made a very successful cage fighter.
“I begged you to leave him alone. I begged you on my knees!”
“He knew it,” he shouted, trying to still her. “He gave up his life to protect yours.” She still fought, but he could feel her tiring, grief weighing her down. Deep sobs erupted from her chest, replacing her will to fight. “Come on.” He pulled her to her feet and towed her into the darkness, farther away from the fire and shootings. They made it to the last trailer just as he heard the grenade launchers. “Fuck. We need to run like you’ve never run before. Over to that line of trees. Ready?”
“No. Wait. I can barely stand up.”
“Tough. You can complain later. C’mon.” Luca grabbed Riella’s hand tight in his hand and started for the trees. They ran for their lives, while behind them the campsite turned to churned mud and fire. Trailers and cars alike blew up, and the few people who hadn’t already taken cover ran away into the darkness.
As soon as they were hidden by the first line of trees, Riella pulled her hand out of his and dug her heels in. “Wait!"
“Riella, we’re not safe here. We need to get farther in.”
“I don’t give a shit! You stop and answer me one question, Luca Anziano, or you may as well kill me here and now.”
Luca stared at her for a split second. Dogged determination was shining in her eyes. Hell of a gene to inherit from her father. Why couldn’t she just have his color eyes, or same shape chin instead? Riella stood, hands on hips, hair wild and twisting in the wind, outlined against the conflagration that had been her and her people’s home, like some avenging angel come to rid the world of its canker.
“Luca,” she panted, “when you told me you loved me… I just need to know… Were you lying to me?”
The metallic whizzing of several simultaneous barrels resonated over the crackling of the fire. Sprays of bullets showered the already destroyed site, catching any stragglers unawares. “Who the hell sold him a metal storm? The guy’s nuts!”
“Answer me!”
“I’ll answer you on the go.” Luca grabbed her in his arms and ran. The bullets kept coming and Riella was shouting something over the noise, but not loud enough for him to make out individual words. He ran, mind focused on one thing, and one thing only: to get her away from the danger, to make her safe. The forest floor was uneven, and it would have been difficult terrain even without having to carry a struggling woman in his arms; with her added weight, Luca felt like he was wrenching each step through a vat full of treacle. His thigh muscles burned, his lungs were on fire, but now he could see the road, and parked to the side, the truck in which Karalius must have brought over his arsenal designed to teach Goliath’s people who’s boss. Escape was in sight. From in front, someone opened fire, and Luca stumbled. Before he could work out why, he hit the ground and knew no more.

Excerpt:
He shoved another armload full of socks and t-shirts on top of jeans in a duffel bag, then turned to walk to the bathroom to retrieve personal hygiene items. He barely glanced up to acknowledge Isaiah, arms crossed over his chest in a comfortable stance, leaning on the doorjamb."Going somewhere?" Isaiah asked coolly."As far away from here as I can get," he responded from the darkened bathroom."You do know there is a meeting about to begin downstairs, right?"Thoros nodded once as he re-entered the bedchamber, not bothering to look at the archangel. He tossed the items in the duffle with the rest of the things he would need for his extended journey. "I am aware of the meeting. I am also aware that she does not want or need me there." He looked left then right, and then paused only another brief moment before zipping the bag closed and tossing it over his right shoulder.Thoros meant to walk through the doorway, but Isaiah stood upright and blocked the only exit with his body. Well, there was always the window. He thought about turning and diving through the glass and wondered briefly if he would clear the cement and land in the water of the underground swimming pool. The cement would hurt like a bitch. Hell, who was he kidding? The damn glass would hurt! He knew fleeting wasn't an option. The angel would have already put a halt on that shit.Letting the pack fall to the floor, Thoros rolled his eyes toward the ceiling and huffed. "Out of my way, old man. She made it clear she doesn't want me. If you didn't hear her, I can give you a recap: it was a whole lot of 'get lost'.""Old man? I'll have you know I look younger than you. Especially as of late. You should exfoliate more, and moisturize.""You knew what I meant.""That I am thousands of years old? Yes," Isaiah nodded as his lips pursed together. "I am that. That also means I probably have a lot of wisdom, and listening to me would more than likely be in your best interest.""Listening to you has done nothing but piss me off, angel.""You have to go with her. You have to know that it is difficult for her to trust you when she has thought all along that you've betrayed her."Thoros' jaw locked down tight and he spoke through his teeth as anger burst from the depths of his half-soul. "Yeah, and whose fault was that? You could have told her at any time in the three months we've spent apart that I was the one who saved her. That I am the one she is destined to be with. But no, instead, you were a coward who let her dream day and night about going in search of the lost angel, a male fate never intended her to be with!"Isaiah moved out of the way to let him pass and Thoros jumped at the chance, grabbing his duffle and rushing through the doorway. "I see. You are just going to take the easy way out? Never look back? Never see her again?""Oh, I'll see her again," he said, but didn't bother slowing down or looking at the archangel. "I'll see her every time I close my eyes.""She deserves for you to give her time, Thoros. If you truly love her, then you must know that walking away is not the answer to your problems."Thoros froze as his boot landed on the third step from the bottom of the grand staircase. Love. He allowed himself a moment to think about that word. His skin flushed hot and his foot slipped to the next step, causing him to lose his balance and having to reach out for the banister to steady himself. He believed she was his soulmate and that he wanted to be with her—but love? No. Love? Never. He had never been in love before. Was this what this horrible feeling was? And what happened if the one you allowed yourself to fall in love with didn't love you back? What the hell happens then? Right. Broken heart. That's what the horrible feeling was. Fan-fucking-tastic! He had never expected to experience it before, but he never imagined it would actually hurt. He rubbed at the center of his chest and fought the hot sting of tears that filled his eyes. He looked around him, all of a sudden dizzy. Wiping at the sheen of sweat that had broken on his brow, Thoros swallowed hard and concentrated on calming the erratic beating of his heart."Do not give up on her. Your time will come, son."He turned around and looked to the top of the stairs at Isaiah, blinking the angel into focus. "And what if it never does?" he whispered around the lump in his throat."You will know you tried and will never have any regrets where she is concerned.""I already have regrets where Josselyn is concerned. I regret ever having met her."Thoros turned and stumbled down the remaining steps, and then crossed the foyer and opened the front door."It's for the best."Isaiah didn't respond to his thought, so he took a step over the threshold and closed the door gently behind him.
