    About this ebook

    The Final Weave - Crossing Fates Book #5 [PARANORMAL ROMANCE - SHORT STORIES]

    With the rebellion having become a terrible failure, Eva and Mal are now sentenced to the most terrible punishment that the Westport Prime can enact. All seems hopeless. Their shared fate is to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The end is only days away.

    With little hope for escape, Eva must face what she has been unable to, make a plea for help that she knows will be rejected. But desperate times mean desperate measures, and acceptance of what fate she has created for herself and others. She must face the fact that the people she has judged in the past may not be as she thought they were, if she is to have the fate she’s fought so hard for.

      Book Description

      The Final Weave - Crossing Fates Book #5

      With the rebellion having become a terrible failure, Eva and Mal are now sentenced to the most terrible punishment that the Westport Prime can enact. All seems hopeless. Their shared fate is to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The end is only days away.

      With little hope for escape, Eva must face what she has been unable to, make a plea for help that she knows will be rejected. But desperate times mean desperate measures, and acceptance of what fate she has created for herself and others. She must face the fact that the people she has judged in the past may not be as she thought they were, if she is to have the fate she’s fought so hard for.

      Whatever Fate

      Under threat of being beaten into submission where they stood, Eva and Mal were handcuffed and manhandled by Pamela’s armored guards into the black van parked the street in front of the church. There was little either of them could do, either to physically resist the heavily armed men or try to manipulate their guards’ behavior. Pamela’s men were Morai themselves and immune to any direct manipulation of their threads, at least for the amount of time she and Mal would be under their supervision.

      You’re making a mistake, Mal warned as he was bundled into the van and shoved onto the bench opposite her. Pamela’s Primeship is not going to last much longer. And when-

      His thread was cut off by a hard jab of a gun butt.

      Leave him alone! Eva shrieked and tried to get over to him but was held back by another guard and otherwise hindered by the handcuffs they’d put on her as well.

      She pulled against the tight metal and chain between her hands to no effect. Still, Eva felt the courage to speak up, to try and somehow convince the men what they were doing was wrong.

      You don’t have to do this, she pleaded, glancing over at the expressionless faces under their masks and helmets. Pamela is a succubus. She’s a monster. How can you do the bidding of such a creature?

      The men remained silent as the van started up then began to speed along to its destination. Their grip on their weapons was tight, while their gaze on her and Mal remained sharp. Every movement drew their attention and provoked a twitch of the grips on their weapons.

      We’ll figure this out, Mal tried to console her, a trickle of blood running down his cheek from where he’d been hit, marring his attempted solace. I have friends in the council, in the community. They won’t stand by and do nothing.

      He turned to them man next to him.

      "And each of you will pay for your unquestioning obedience to the Prime. Do
