If you missed the last weeks snippet from

The Gryphon & His Thief, here’s the link. Chapter 5 #2

Set up for this week: We’re back to The Gryphon and His Thief.  Skipping ahead again. Last week Darrien asked if Calli was going to shoot him when she revealed she had a gun. She tells him, no—as long as he doesn’t try to follow her once she leaves. 

This scene takes place right outside the motel room. She’s having second thoughts of leaving Darrien handcuffed…

“No, don’t go all soft now,” she murmured. Her gaze landed on the bushes to the side of her, and she crouched down. Her hand brushed aside the dirt at the base of the plant, revealing the pouch she’d stashed at the last moment when she’d arrived at the motel. Her instincts had proven right on. She’d known the chase wasn’t over when she left the museum. Hiding the stone was a must, so she’d faked dropping her keycard to hide it without being obvious. If Darrien had the stone in his possession, he would have been long gone by now.

She lifted the pouch and brushed off the dirt.

She’s on the run, but probably not for long if Darrien has a say. 🙂

Until next week, take care.

Some Treasures are Priceless…

A long time ago, a Gryphon shifter’s duty was to guard and protect the people of the tribes, but Darrien Andros failed to keep his human wife safe from harm. Cursed for the crime, he must guard everything in the Museum of Cursed Antiquities forever, never to truly live and never to die. Centuries have passed, but when he encounters a thief, who uncannily resembles his dead wife, he is convinced he has a second chance.

Calli Angelis is hired to steal Hecate’s Stone from the Museum, believing she would be returning it to its rightful owner. She never really trusted the person who hired her and now Darrien makes her doubt her motives, too. He also has her questioning the possibility of reincarnation when the attraction between them ignites into something she can no longer ignore.

As the two work together to unravel the mysteries behind the stone, it becomes apparent an old and dangerous enemy from Darrien’s past is determined to have history repeat itself.

  11. Solid stuff. You and your character get to take a beat but the story continues to move. Nice.
