Here is an extended preview of Dark Illusions: The Final Chapter for you guys. This is the excerpt/preview that is found in the back of the Dark Illusions: The Next Chapter.
===================================================
Julian cleared his throat
and Kat twitched. Maybe more than she should have. Her attention leapt to him.
Around her his aura spun until she dug her nails into the table. Kat was aware
of everyone in the room watching her, but she didn’t move or say a word. She
clenched her teeth and felt Julian’s pleasure over it.
“Kat, did you have something
you wanted to say?” he asked, not just putting her on the spot, but convicting
her as well.
How can you do this to me? You will regret this. Her nails lengthened into
the table and she further clenched her jaw. Speaking through clenched teeth, a
deep growl slipped out as she said, “No.”
Julian smiled and strode
past her, his scent drifted over her, entangling her in its grip. His hand slid
along the back of her chair. “What the Queen really wants to say is ‘fuck you
Julian,’ but she can’t. Why? Because I won’t allow it. Will I, Kat?”
Kat gawked at him. What the
hell was Julian’s plan? Shame her? Embarrass her? If he expected to play with
her in front of everyone, he was dumber than he looked.
“Julian—” Kat sucked in a
breath and stars danced in her vision, her back stiffened. Julian did something
she couldn’t stop.
“As I said, I won’t allow
it.”
Kat leapt up, fighting
against Julian’s aura. The move small, but the pressure it caused upon her
wasn’t. “Stop manipulating me.”
A deep snarl ripped out of
her and Kat’s body grew tense, her nails lengthened, her teeth sharpened, the
room shook.
Julian blurred over to her,
but didn’t touch her. He stopped in front of her face. “Sit. Down.”
The air grew thick with his
power, overwhelming the entire room.
Kat continued to face him
and her defiance caused him to once more, crush his aura around her. A heavy
pressure lay upon her shoulders, determined to force her down. The entire room
would’ve felt it this time. There was no way they didn’t. Kat wanted to tell
him to screw himself and to fight everything, but as she faced him, she slipped
within his mind instead.
Knowing she heard him with
little effort, he threatened through his mind, “I will kill them, Kat. Every one of your clan. Even Sean, Declan,
Hunter, Jake, and Max.”
The complete calm with which
he uttered the threat, knowing she searched him, quieted Kat in an instant, and
her head snapped back. Her gaze moved away from Julian, to Sean, and back to Julian.
She drifted back down to her chair. Her bottom lip trembled.
Julian turned his attention
to the room and Kat glanced at Patrick. He shook his head at her, not Julian. What was wrong with everyone?
