    About this ebook

    He took Katelyn.

    My best friend is missing, taken from me, her life in the hands of a killer. The Rakshasa are strong. We're confident. We're powerful. But the Champawat Tiger has found a weakness, a crack in the armour of our kind; our attachment to humans, to those we care about.

    Our friends.

    The killer casts a wide net and I fear for Katelyn's safety, but there are worse things coming for Ishan and I, things that pain me more than words can say.

    The shadow is coming. With it, the end of everything I know.

    Part I of the Tigress serial.

      Part III: Beating Hearts

      A Paranormal Romance Serial

      with a little hint of spice.

      When the moon crosses the sun, all shall come to its end.

      - Cinder the Rakshasan Prophet, 1699.

      Author’s note: A section of this piece was written as I watched the total solar eclipse on the 14th of November, 2012. Cool, huh?

      Prologue

      You Hurt Their Friends

      I gripped the receiver so hard the plastic creaked and I had to stop myself before I broke it. Let Katelyn go. She’s just a human. She has nothing to do with this. It’s not her you want.

      You’re right, the Champawat Tiger purred down the line. "It’s you. She means nothing to me, nothing at all, so don’t think for even a second that I won’t tear this little friend of yours to shreds and mail her remains to you piece by piece. A pause, then, If you want your friend to survive, you’ll do exactly as I say."

      I looked into Ishan’s bright blue eyes. I could tell he wanted me to hang up, to let the Champawat Tiger do whatever he wanted to with Katelyn so I didn’t endanger myself, but I couldn’t do that. I just couldn’t.

      Okay, I said, inhaling slightly as I steadied my nerves. Tell me what you want me to do.

      A low chuckle through the speaker. Excellent.

      Ishan’s silent gaze told me he did not approve. ‘Hang up’, he mouthed, but I shook my head.

      What I am proposing, said the Champawat Tiger, is very simple. I wish to exchange a life for a life.

      I frowned at that. I’m not going to rush to my death, I said, and I’m not going to kill someone else.

      "Well, now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. You are going to kill someone else, either the person I name, or your friend by your inaction. Your fate has already been decided. All I’m asking you to do is choose."

      It wasn’t a choice I could make easily, but when it was put in such black and white terms the decision was obvious.

      I’m not a murderer.

      A low chuckle from the speaker, throaty and deep. Oh, silly fledgling, we’re all murderers. We kill every day with inaction. A child starves in Africa, a mother dies in childbirth from easily preventable complications, a man contracts HIV for lack of a fifteen cent condom, and what do we do? We drink fine wine at dinner, grumble about the cost of petrol, and our biggest health complication is obesity. The Rakshasa’s tone became venomous. "Obesity. These humans created a society where they have so much excess that they gorge themselves to death, wilfully ignorant of those who have none. The humans are a species without compassion."

      You’re one to talk of compassion, I said. You murder Rakshasa fledglings. You kill your own kind, to gain power for yourself. You’re a monster.

      We both are, he said. "I’m
