Hooked on Hatchlings Curse, BookQW Breath #MFRWHooks

To set the stage, a storm is raging outside and the animals in the stables are panicking. Branin and his friends go to qualm the rebellion. The snippit picks up where the post, Freedom Wanted, left off, with Branin caught in a stampede.

Excerpt:

Branin struggled to draw breath into his starved lungs. He tried to move free of the dead weight on his chest, but his arms and legs refused to obey his command. Pain greeted the attempt. His sight cleared to reveal Anastasia crumpled against him. Pieces of straw in her hair contrasted with the dark brown of her curls.

Liam lifted Anastasia and leaned her against a bale of straw. His attention shifted to Branin. “You lazy lug, do you expect me to clean up this mess by myself?” Worry in the other man’s tone removed the sting from his words as did the hand-up he offered.

Branin drew air deep into his lungs. Slowly, he stood and tested the strength of his legs. Cradled in Dealan’s arms, Anastasia showed no damage from the collision. He looked around to see the room relatively unchanged. His gaze centered on a brown stallion. The larger horse’s teeth closed on the neck of the young mare who had just recently tried to break out of the stable. Rivulets of blood colored the white stripes of her mane. Her head twisted as the stallion forced her into a position obvious to all. He meant to mount the filly, with or without her approval. Something she did not appear to give.

“No wonder the speckled one risked the storm,” Liam said at Branin’s side. “None of the seidheirn would treat a mare that way, especially one so young. The brown is too strong. We can’t handle him by ourselves.”
