Hearts Eclipsed: A Beautiful Nightmare Companion Novel

“That’s good. Well, Keiron still isn’t talking—at least nothing more than his usual request.” Jackson replies as he responds to texts on his phone.
“It’s been over a month and he still asking for her?” Dalcour shakes his head and chuckles at the irritable scowl now etched across Jackson’s face. Jackson nods his head affirming Dalcour’s question, but never looks up. Quietness brews between them and Dalcour paces the floor, staring back and forth at Damina’s suite. “What do we do when she wakes?” Dalcour asks staring at Jackson while leaning on the doorframe of the room across the hall.
“We help her find her cousin. That’s what she would want,” Jackson answers with his arms folded at his lap.
“And, what do we do about us? When she chooses one or the other?” Dalcour replies, now sipping from the new smoothie bottle Braelyn gave him after the brawl.
Pushing away from his chair, Jackson stands and smiles at Dalcour and says, “When that time comes, Lord Marchand, whoever is not chosen will bow out gracefully and clean up the mess our brothers have made. While the other keeps her safe until that mess is no more.”
“I see,” Dalcour responds with a deep sigh. “One thing is sure, Lord Nashoba, when she does awake, for one man she will be his redemption and the other his reckoning. I just hope we are strong enough to endure our fate—whatever that end shall be.”
Both men stare at one another, take a deep breath and smile before laughing quietly.
As they laugh, the door to Damina’s room opens and Delia rounds the corner and smiles. Jackson and Dalcour stand, gazing at Delia with frozen expressions.
“What is it, Delia?” Dalcour questions, his heart thumping loudly in his chest.
“Is she…” Jackson begins, his voice trembling.
“Yes, gentlemen, Damina is awake.”
About the Author
L. C. Son has the life she's always imagined and more. A wife to one and mom to three kids and a very regal Beagle, she would say she is living a life full of awesomeness!
Growing up, she spent hours reading comic books she "borrowed" from her older brother which inspired her love for heroes and all things fantasy and paranormal. Much like the characters she adored, she lives a duplicitous life. By day she works tirelessly to champion the employment of persons with severe disabilities. By night she puts on her wife-mom cape, sharing with her husband at their church and juggling their kid's very active schedules.
Writing has always come second nature to her and a skill she uses in her professional career. Beautiful Nightmare is her first published work and she's thrilled to finally bring to life the characters that have lived in the creative corners of her mind. Presently, she's working on the next installment in the Beautiful Nightmare series and an anthology in the Beautiful Nightmare world named Origins.
