    About this ebook

    This is a novelette from the world of Nyx Slaughter. It is told from the perspective of her faithful and reliable Hellhound, Clyde.
    Join Clyde as he goes about his day in an apartment full of vampires and werewolves. It is meant as a thank you to those who have read the other books in the series and want a little extra Clyde. It can be read by itself, but it is just a normal day in the life of Clyde when he isn't following Nyx on a case.

    Amber Lynn

    I love books. Until recently, I kept to just reading them, but ideas for characters and scenes took control of my mind and made me have to get those ideas down. I have been writing for about a year and have really enjoyed working out the process of taking my ideas and forming new worlds for others to enjoy.This whole writing thing is still a hobby for me. I sit down on weeknights and weekends and just float over to my other worlds for a while. Other hobbies of mine include: drawing, baking, arts and crafts, motorcycles, hockey, and archery. I like to think I have eclectic tastes where my hobbies are concerned. I love to laugh and try to at least make myself smile once a day. With the crazy thoughts going on in my head that usually isn't hard.

      Preface

      A little note before we begin

      This novelette takes place in between the books Night Lurks and Night Finds in the Nyx Slaughter series. Reading it may reveal a few things you would not know if you haven't read up to Night Lurks, but I don't think it will ruin everything for you. It includes or mentions most of the characters from the books and hints about at least two key events.

      It is told from one of the favorite characters in the series, Clyde. Clyde is, for the lack of better terminology, a lovable Hellhound that seems to relish in getting in trouble. His language has been known to be questionable and I don't recommend his eating habits at all.

      To help make sense of who the characters are, here are some quick, generic descriptions:

      Nyx is the usual main character in the series. She is snarky and can often be found polishing her weapons.

      Sebastian is a vampire that has been friends with Nyx for a while and has developed a special bond with her.

      Alex is a werewolf that started out as a giant headache, but Nyx has grown to love the jerk.

      Ben is a demon. Do I really need to say more?

      Marcus, Smitty, Will, and Dante are personal guards that Sebastian assigned to Nyx. They are all vampires.

      Jonas, Jake, and Walt are also personal guards, but were assigned by Alex. Can you guess what species they are?

      Sam and Phee are wounded werewolves that have fallen under the others' wings.

      I think that is all the usual troublemakers. I have already described Clyde a little and if you read on, you are going to learn more than you ever wanted to about what makes the Hellhound tick.

      Hopefully, that is the path you choose. If so, enjoy.

      Chapter 1

      A star was born

      I hear backstories are things people like to read, but before we get into any of that, I need to set a few ground rules. Some of you will probably already know who I am, if you are smart you will anyway. My name is Clyde, my species is Hellhound, and I tend to believe I am amazing.

      That is why I think you need to read about my life. I am a busy Hellhound, so don't expect me to write a long memoir about my relatively short life. I am saving the good details for the blockbuster movie coming out next spring. I am hoping they don’t mind me playing myself because I haven’t been able to find another canine as good looking as yours truly.

      On that subject, another thing you should
