Zenobia Renquist

Whether as D. Reneé Bagby or Zenobia Renquist, Reneé lives in her imagination. When not traveling through her fantasy worlds, she can be found in Maryland living with her husband and two cats. She is an Air Force brat turned Air Force wife, which means she's accustomed to travel and does it whenever possible (so long as she doesn't have to fly). Her favorite pastime is torturing her characters on their way to happily-ever-after for the enjoyment of her readers. On the few occasions her muse flees the scene of the crime, Reneé likes to read (comics, manga, and romance), go to the movies, play a few levels of whichever puzzle game has hijacked her interest or experiment with a new chain mail weave.

CHAPTER ONE

Rae wanted to slam her claws into her prey’s chest and rip out his still beating heart. Her vision bled red as the urge intensified. It wouldn’t take much. She was fast and strong. She could do it and show the heart to her victim before he realized he was dead.

Her continued failure with this human—

Continued? Two instances do not make a trend, Hauke. She has accomplished every assignment I’ve given her except this one. And I suspect— Spir turned his gaze to her —there is more to this one than I know.

Rae held Spir’s gaze… barely. She hoped he didn’t see the way her cheeks heated. Did he suspect? Had she given herself away?

He broke eye contact first, looking down at the folder he’d discarded. Rae, this is the last time. If you cannot convince him this year, I won’t send you again.

I understand, my lord. Her voice shook with unshed tears. Of course, Spir wouldn’t accept failure from her, not like the others. One misstep, and she was cast out. That was the way it should be.

Hauke said, A wise decision, my lord. This human is pivotal, a strong power point for House Kringle and the Winter Clan. But he could be the same for House Hel and the Hades Clan. We don’t know where Rae’s loyalties lie. She could be failing with this human on purpose to—

Would you shut the hell up? Spir yelled.

Hauke and Tysie beside him both gasped loud with shock and their ears laid back.

Rae couldn’t help her smile. Those of House Kringle weren’t used to coarse language. They were the house of purity and light. Such language was a
