All Chapters of Heat (Blood Bound Book 4): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 2   “Put me down you bloodsucking lunatic!” Alicia yelled while clawing at Damon’s back from where he’d thrown her over his shoulder. The moment she’d realized they weren’t headed toward Night Light she had wanted him to stop… obviously wanting and getting were two different things. “I want to go see Micah!” “Michael told me to bring you back here and this is where you will stay,” Damon ordered as he calmly walked into Alicia’s room. He tossed her down onto the bed and winced when her nails left long welts on his back. Growling he added, “I don’t think your boyfriend will be overly disappointed if you’re a little late to his bed… side.” Alicia huffed and tried to scoot off the bed but Damon was immediately leaning over her with a palm firmly planted on each side of her shoulders. Damon glared down at her, trying one more time to put her under his compulsion spell, “Damn it, I said stay!” “I’m not a dog, I’m a cat you...” Alicia’s mind went blank for a se

Chapter 4 The alley became a bit darker than the rest of the city as Misery descended on it to check the rip in the dimensional wall she’d created with Kane's blood. She liked the fact that the humans couldn’t see it, though she was sure some with a stronger sixth sense would avoid the alley. Letting the darkness implode, she stepped forward choosing the child’s form as she knelt beside the opening. She didn’t dare touch it for fear that it would drag her through the barrier, but she could now feel demons gathering on the other side. Those demons could see the rip and that was the purpose of its creation. Misery let some of her own evil slither down her body in dark smoky tendrils and giggled as it seeped into the crack. Within moments, the same thing happened but this time in reverse. Misery’s back arched and her eyes turned blood red as the snaky darkness squirmed its way up her body then sank into her aura. The other side would wait until Misery gave them a sign… then th

Chapter 6 Alicia shivered as the cool water showered down on her head and shoulders. Reaching down, she turned the hot all the way up… it wasn’t like a cold shower was really enough to help her anymore. She blinked feeling like she’d missed something. Honestly, she didn’t even remember getting into the shower. She reached for the necklace satisfied it was still there then searched her memory. Oh yeah… she remembered now. She’d finally told the truth. She’d come clean about everything and it had felt good. They weren’t mad… it had been a misunderstanding… all of it, and she could stay. She placed her palms and forehead against the cold tile wall as she remembered what had happened with Nick… poor guy. It hadn’t been his fault. If only she had someone to talk to who knew what to do. Alicia’s eyes lit up and she quickly got out of the shower, grabbing a towel and running to her bedroom. Sitting on the edge of her bed, she picked her cell phone up off the nightstand. She did ha

Chapter 8 Zeb walked through the crowded dance floor smiling politely when most of the humans gave him a path. They presumed such a man in his fifties being at a place like this meant he was probably just searching for his daughter who had snuck out for the night or maybe even think he was one of the owners with his business suit sticking out like a sore thumb. If they only knew what he was really doing. He reached for the hidden greed of the humans nearest him, touching their need for sex and flesh… their desperation to be wanted by the opposite sex… or even the same sex. He jerked on their jealousy for the others around them whom they thought had better bodies or partners than they did. He took those needs and intensified them to the point where heated kisses became savage and people were pulled to the floor not caring who was watching. Those orgies were quickly trampled by the men who wanted to prove they were tougher than the next guy. The glimmer of small stainless

Chapter 10 “I knew you were keeping something from me,” Micah growled. “Now, what else are you hiding?” Alicia glanced at the floor trying to hide the angry tears that threatened to betray her, “Nothing. At least nothing I plan on telling you… now or ever.” “Alicia,” Micah growled. Her eyes snapped up to meet his. “Don’t use that tone of voice with me, Micah Wilder. You’re not my daddy and even if you were, I’m eighteen and can run my own life from here. I don’t need a father figure!” she yelled, trying to get her point across. “Oh, I think I know what you needed!” Micah yelled back reaching over and ripping her covers off her bed. “Who did you sleep with?” “How do you know I slept with anybody?” Alicia was a little more than shocked over his reaction. He was acting like a jealous lover. “I know because it takes HEAT three months to go away! Are you going to lie to me and say you’re magically different from every other female shifter?” his eyes narrowed on h
