Wait…Wasn’t is just Wednesday a day or two ago? Yikes. The days are all running together. The end of the year is rushing at us and I. Am. NOT. Ready! That said, seeing as it is now Wednesday I have words. New words! Yay. Also, they are award-winning words as the snippet posted today took top honors in last week’s Thursday Threads flash fiction challenge. And yes, those words are attached to the WIP, MOONSTRUCK: RETRIBUTION. “What’s the prompt?” you ask. Here it is: *”This timing unsettled him.”* For those of you who are fans of the series, you will totally get the beginning.

Mac glanced at his wife. Propped on her elbows, Hannah bent over the kitchen counter studying the cookbook sprawled open in front of her. Their son sat on a stool beside her.

Liam patted her encouragingly. “It’s not that hard, Mom.”

“Easy for you to say,” she muttered.

Looking away in case she caught him smiling, he refocused on the intelligence report he held. They might be living off the grid but he had ways of keeping a finger on the pulse of their enemies. He had to take them down so his wife and son could live their lives out in the open—well, as open as any Wolf could live. And it wasn’t just Hannah and Liam. The fates of all his men and their families rested on his ability to lead them through perilous times.

His phone pinged. Glancing down, he read Lightfoot’s text message. Mac’s second in command was moving Liz and Micah. Again. He’d gotten the same messages from Nate and Sean. Even Rudy and Antoine, despite the tightly-knit Cajun community out in the bayous keeping them and their mates safe, were on the move.

This timing unsettled him. All of them were being herded to the same area. Why now? And why there? He needed more info

Glass shattered in the kitchen. He jumped to his feet as Hannah let loose with a string of curses. He smiled. Frozen pizza for dinner. Again. He’d figure it out, keep them safe. That’s what Alpha’s did.

There it is. Just so you know, RETRIBUTION is a complitation book which will contain CHRISTMAS MOON, BLUE MOON, and MOON SHOT. This snippet happens sometime between BLUE and SHOT. I have to admit, I’m still in the rereading phase and I MISS these guys! It’s fun to touch base with them again. Writers, grab the prompt if inspiration strikes. Readers, what’s your back-up plan if things go wrong in the kitchen? 😉
