Chapter One
Lily
I keep my gaze on the floor. I knew better than to look any of these people in the eye. It would be considered a challenge and essentially suicide. I could never survive a challenge with one of them. I’m a human, a servant of the royal family in Wolf Hollow. Forced to serve my captors, the Wolf Hollow royals – shifters. I shudder.
“What’s the matter, girly? You scared of the big, bad wolf?” One of the guards taunted me.
He gets in my face, pressing his body unnecessarily close to me. I shudder again, a mistake. The guard’s grin twists into something evil and cruel. He steps back.
“Man, a human rejected you. That must sting, Callum!” Another guard behind him sneered. I held my breath, waiting for his reaction. I tensed, waiting for a slap, a hit, something. Praying to the Goddess Leto for help or someone to save me was futile. I had never once been saved. I had never once been given help. I had actually given up my belief in the Goddess. There was no way a Goddess would willingly let one of her disciples go through what I had been through.
Sure enough, Callum swung his big, meaty arm and brought it down across my face. The resounding smack echoed throughout the chamber. A gasp escaped my lips, right before the guards started doubling over in laughter. I sucked in a breath, straightened up, and tucked my chin into my chest, attempting to hide the tears that were pouring down my face. I tucked my lip in, tasting the metallic blood. Callum stepped up and grabbed my chin, angling my face up toward him. I kept my gaze down. It didn’t hide the sneer on Callum’s face.
“Don’t you ever reject me again,” Callum snarled, his voice deep and rough. A whimper escaped and it turned Callum’s sneer into a grin. All I wanted was to get away from him. His touch made my skin crawl. I hoped he wouldn’t take a liking to me. I didn’t know what I would do then.
“Callum, let’s go! The King is waiting for us to report to him,” The guard behind him gestured. Callum let my face go, ran a finger down my neck, stepped back, and stared at me. I could feel his gaze up and down my body, willing myself not to shudder again.
“I’ll be seeing you again, little lamb,” Callum hissed. He turned on his heel and walked away, my body starting to shake the further away he went.
Nicole is a 32-year-old who still escapes into fictional worlds to avoid her adult responsibilities. It shouldn’t come as a shock then to find out that she will devour just about any book and has since she was a young girl. It doesn’t matter whether the book is dark, twisted, and full of smut or if it’s light, breezy, and sweet, she’s reading it.
Don’t be alarmed that she’d rather read a book than interact with you – it’s not your fault, she just doesn’t know how to people. Talk to her about what she’s currently reading or her favorite book and then you’ll find out she doesn’t know how to stop talking, so be careful what you wish for.
She lives with her husband of 5 years and her adorable dog-child, Ollie. She writes romance – paranormal, dark, contemporary, and more. Keep an eye out for her next book.

What inspired you to become a writer?
I spent my childhood buried in books. After spending a lot of my adulthood struggling to figure out what to do with my life, my mom was the one who actually suggested I actually write, since I was always writing anyway. My husband suggested turning all of the blog posts I had been creating into a book and it kind of evolved from there! It seemed like a natural, although nonlinear progression.
I enjoyed the excerpt for Claiming My Mate. Thank you for the giveaway!
This sounds like an interesting book and I also like the cover.
Looks very exciting Do you write in a daily journal?
Hi! Thanks so much. No, I don’t tend to write in a daily journal. It’s always an intention to do so, but I haven’t worked on that habit lately so it falls by the wayside quite often.
This looks like a very good book and I look forward to reading it. Love the cover and the excerpt.
