Hello Bellaholics,

Just a few updates. I'm sorry I haven't been as active. I've been going through a lot personally that's... to be honest... has gotten me down. We all face hardships and as long as we have at least one person looking out for us, we'll be okay. I'm fortunate enough to have you all. I'm sending you all Big Love.

So, I'm getting back into the swing of things and have been working hard.

Punished: Road to Carnage series b7 is with my editor and soon, it will be published. Like before, I will release it directly from my website, with 2 extra bonus scenes. When I add it to KU, it will have 1 of the bonus scenes. By buying directly from me, the incentive is the ebook will be discounted and autographed like Betrayed was. :D

Matt Williams has started on the audiobook for Betrayed and that will be coming out very soon. I'm so excited about that. I really enjoy how he narrates my stories. We work very well as a team, too.

For the VIP updates, I will be adding more chapters of Ronin Merc soon. And Kingdoms has just been updated with two new chapters. Here is a taste:

“I’m fine, baby. calm down,” I told Elijah as he approached my cell. “Don’t give them the satisfaction. Whatever happens to me, don’t give it to them.”

Elijah scoffed and frowned. “They want me to watch—”

“And you will... every second,” Théoden said as he came into view with Josef at his side.

I swallowed, my jaw tight because I had no idea what their idea of punishment would be. At least Eli wouldn’t have to suffer physically. “Fine... let’s get it over with, yeah?” I said, bracing myself for the shitstorm heading my way.

“I always suspected that you were behind the death of my wolf, Deacon. You’re a devious son of a bitch—literally speaking,” Josef said.

I growled at the insult and he smirked. “Keep my mother out of your fucking mouth, boy,” I snapped because I knew he’d take offense to the term.

I was right. His eye twitched a little, which I assumed meant he was maturing a bit. Normally, he’d have some kind of outburst as he wasn’t known for controlling his emotions. Maybe Dante was rubbing off on him.

“Do you really have to do this?” Eli asked them. “Aren’t we on the same side now?”

“You should know that even if we are, this is inevitable. When one of your wolves misbehaves, they must suffer the consequences of their foolish actions—even if they’re in your pack. This is no different. One of my wolves... well, actually two of my wolves were found guilty of transgressions against me. Only one will pay for it. That should be mercy enough, Elijah,” Théoden said.

“Elliot—”

“Don’t bother bringing him up. You know full well that he is above our retribution. You mention him again and I’ll make Deacon take his punishment as well,” Théoden threatened and Elijah’s mouth closed instantly.

I must admit, I didn’t want to feel any more pain than I already had to. I was taking the bullet for both me and Eli already. 

That's right, New Haven Fans, if you've wished for the day Deacon had to own up for what he did to Theoden and Josef, your wish has come true. This ebook is currently at 64k and will continue to grow as more chapters are added.

But it's not just Kingdoms, you also get several other ebooks that are NOT available anywhere else from various series.

That's it for now. I hope your day is going beautifully and if you're about to go to sleep, I wish you the sweetest dreams.

Oh, before I go... I have a gigantic surprise I'll be announcing on Monday the 27th. Stay tuned.

Love,

Nick
