HELLBOUND
Erotic Paranormal and Dark Fantasy Romance Novella
Tuesday's Teaser Excerpt:
Samuael rose to his feet and motioned to Marowit. “Creator
of all, I present Marowit, Lord Demon of Nightmares, temporary Justice of Final
Damnation.”
Just as Samuael had, Marowit fell to one knee and paid
homage to Aeon and the Supreme Gods. He remained on his knee with arm crossed,
until the Almighty acknowledged him.
Aeon held out his hand and gestured for him to rise.
“My son, do you wish to present your case?”
Marowit stood. He cleared his throat. “I have acquired
a pure soul who has given herself in place of the damned human, James Weiss.”
He locked eyes with each of the gods and added. “I agreed to the bargain.”
Marowit waited for a response. He was not surprised
that Dedarius, God of the Temporal Realm, would speak up first.
“The soul is pure. Her self-sacrifice was to save her
sister from death at the hands of her stepfather. That is martyrdom.”
Hell's Supreme ruler, Ashmedai stood. “It was a fair
trade. As the deal maker, Marowit had every right to accept the replacement.”
The thickly muscled dark burgundy-skinned Demon-God turned his ram-horned head
to face Dedarius. “We all know that bargains cannot be broken, however if a
human soul accepted the fate in place of the damned, then it is Marowit's word
against this Council.”
Adonai, the most beautiful of the angels and God of
Heaven, made a slashing motion with his hand. “Not if the human soul in
question thought her loved one would be damned.”
Ashmedai sneered at the heavenly Lord, opening his
mouth and letting him see his large poisonous fangs. “It was not Marowit's
fault that the girl thought her sister's soul in jeopardy. He was not there to
console her, or guide her to the righteous path! Marowit is a demon, for
mercy's sake.” The Devil-God turned to Marowit. “Did the girl
wish to take her stepfather's place?”
Marowit was afraid they would ask that. “Well, not
exactly, she only said to take her because she thought I would take her
sister—but she was very willing.”
Adonai snorted. “I bet she was.”
Dedarius looked at him with disgust. “You should talk.
Your angels are worse for seducing Mortals.”
The God of Heaven rolled his eyes at Dedarius,
and started responding but another god interrupted.
“I agree with Ashmedai, the girl made her choice,
regardless if she understood the ramifications of such a choice.”
They all turned toward Eidolon, Lord of the Astral
plane, and Marowit's father. If it was not for the fact Marowit's skin was red
and his father's skin was as black as night, they could pass for twins.
Dedarius snorted and quirked a perfectly arched brow.
“Your vote shouldn't even count, Eidolon, since it is obviously biased.”
Eidolon glared at Dedarius. “I am simply following the
order of things. There was a reason we wrote the Holy Law into existence.”
All four of the gods bickered back and forth. Marowit
stood, silently waiting for their decision. It didn't seem like there would be any
resolution by the way everyone bickered back and forth. He looked at Samuael
and saw the exacerbated expression on his face.
Samuael shook his head as if the situation was
hopeless. Then his eyes widened, and he froze for a split second. His
expression suddenly changed like an idea came to him. He winked and smiled at
Marowit.
What was he up to? Marowit watched him with narrowed
eyes as he approached Aeon and knelt before him bowing his head.
“Rise, my son.”
All the gods stopped arguing immediately after they
heard Aeon's dual toned voice. Samuael arose and took a step back so he could
address them.
“I believe that I have a solution for this. It's a bit
unorthodox, but considering the circumstances, may be the most logical one.”
Marowit was skeptical. What in Chaos's ass, was he
talking about?
HELLBOUND, A story that WILL ignite your imagination!
By Author Emma Paul.
Tricked by Peklenc, the demon of judgment, Marowit must spend eternity judging the souls of the damned and meting out punishments. That is, until he is summoned by a drugged out mortal for sacrificial reasons and the mortal's daughter catches his eye. Striking a deal with the mortal, Marowit returns to Hell with Isabella, a pure virgin soul.
In an attempt to save her sister's life, Isabella Michaelis makes a deal with a demon to serve him for all eternity if he'll just spare her sister's life. Part of her finds the demon Marowit oddly charming and quite frankly, downright sexy enough to make her wonder about her own sanity, especially once she's in Hell.
Knowing he broke the rules, Marowit's hand is forced to make the woman he brought down to hell fall in love with him, or forever lose her back to normality. Yet truly wicked forces are at play behind the scenes.
