An Authorized Excerpt
Sun
glared at Lightning. She had always been jealous of
Lightning’s beauty. “I just had an interesting discussion
with Mars. He told me a secret about you,” Sun answered in a
deep, husky voice.
Lightning
became concerned but didn’t allow Sun to know, keeping her
calm demeanor. “What secret of mine could Mars possibly
know?”
“I know
all about your nighttime trysts with Thunder. How you meet
under the willow tree in Storm Meadow. I know how you
fulfill your sexual desires and how you renew your energy.”
“That’s
none of your business.”
“I’m
making it my business! I am a mighty force. During the day I
rein and you can’t do anything about it!”
Lightning
laughed. “I’m not afraid of you, Sun.”
“No? You
should be, bitch. I will destroy you and take your staff.
Then it will only be a matter of time until Thunder dies and
I have his hammer. Then I will rule the skies.” Sun raised
her hand, her fingertips flames of fire. She flicked a small
flame at Lightning’s feet, satisfied when the flame licked
at the grass and caught fire. Lightning moved back a step,
but she wasn’t about to let Sun know she was frightened.
“Don’t
mess with me, Sun. You’re vindictive and power hungry. I
won’t let you hurt Thunder or me.”
Sun’s
face grew redder. She raised her hands and shot a ball of
fire at Lightning.
Lightning jumped out of the way as the ball of fire landed
beside her. She raised her staff. “If you want a battle
here, then you’ll have one!”
