On My 2nd book

Post Reply New Topic

Hey everyone! I just finished my 1st book in my series. I figured that since I have no one to share with in real life maybe I could share it here I

If you don't know what my book is about here is a few things to know:

-Jared's character is a Cambion (half-incubus and half human) and due to that he is mistreated by his full-blood family
-Shiloh is a full incubus and Jared's best friend
-Jared is also demon royalty because he is the prince of demon society making Roman, his father, the about to be retired king.

Here are chapters five through the middle of seven. I've worked very hard on this series so far. If this is too much to read and you get bored that's fine

Chapter 5
A week had passed since all of the chaos had taken place. Shiloh lied on his bed as the stereo blasted music. He started singing a long to the memorized lyrics.
I miss being in a band. That was my career in the making…
Shiloh sat up and turned the stereo down. The beep on a text message was heard on his phone. He picked it up and read the message out loud.
“Hi, Shiloh. Can you get dressed please? We’re invited to the Royal Mansion to eat dinner! I can’t wait for some good food! XOXO, Mom”
Shiloh stood up and stretched his arms.
A car beeped from outside. Shiloh looked through the window. Ken and Darla were parked outside. Shiloh walked to the front door. When he got out he got into the back seat of the car.
“Will alcohol be involved in this?” Shiloh asked.
Ken laughed.
“We’re adults! Plus, I come from the land of sake and your mom comes from the land of vodka and every beer imaginable.” Ken said cheerfully.
“Great.” Shiloh said sarcastically.
The car soon drove away from the house. The vehicle bumped up and down.
“I didn’t know there were going to be so many bumps on the road.” Darla said.
“They don’t live in Pond’s End anymore. They live semi-hicksville.” Shiloh said groaning.
Darla turned around.
“Why are you so grumpy?” Darla asked cheerfully.
Ken soon parked the car at the mansion’s drive way.
“We’re finally here!” Ken said opening the car door.
Shiloh exited the back seat. He saw Jared up in his room with his head down.
Ken greeted Roman with a firm handshake. When Amber appeared Darla let out a gasp.
“Amber.” Said Darla furiously.
Shiloh looked at Darla confused.
“What’s wrong?” Shiloh asked.
“Oh nothing, I’ll try not slap her.” Darla mumbled
Shiloh was confused.
“Slap?” Shiloh asked even more confused.
Darla pointed to the mansion’s front door.
“Shiloh, this is none of your concern!” Darla shouted.
Shiloh bolted it to the door step. Amber soon noticed Darla and smirked.
“Darla, Darla, Darla…” Amber said under her breath
Chapter 6
Caleb continued toast the sugar on the crème brulee. He hummed 90s music while putting the finishing touches on the food. Ken Darla sat at the table. Shiloh soon sat down in a chair at the table as well. Roman was heard upstairs.
“I don’t care what kind of mood you’re in; you’re coming down to eat!” Roman shouted at Jared.
A door was slammed shut.
“Shut up!” Jared shouted.
Jared soon opened the door and walked downstairs into the kitchen. He sat beside Shiloh.
“What was that all about?” Shiloh asked.
Jared looked at Shiloh with his eyes fill with anger stayed silent. Roman walked down the stairs and greeted everyone.
“Darla and Ken I just wanted to apologize for that. It’s not every father that has a son who doesn’t sit properly at the table.” Roman said eyeing Jared’s posture.
Jared quickly sat up straight.
“That’s more like it.” Roman said
Caleb soon entered the kitchen with pots, pans and trays. When he saw Shiloh his heart was beating so fast that he could hardly stand it.
“He has such a perfect shade of black.” Caleb said dreamily.
Amber stood up.
“Caleb, I think you remember Darla and Ken.” Amber said.
Caleb flipped his hand.
“Oh yes! I remember two servants, but I don’t remember this fine young man.” Caleb said pointing to Shiloh.
Shiloh’s body soon froze.
“That’s our son Shiloh, he’s Jared’s friend from school.” Darla said.
“Who’s Jared?” Caleb asked.
“I am.” Jared said sneering at Caleb.
Caleb looked at Jared.
“Oh! You’re Jared! Sorry Shiloh is going to be way easier to remember.” Caleb said.
Shiloh leaned over towards Jared.
“Is your uncle homosexual?” Shiloh asked quietly.
Jared cracked up laughing.
“Well? Is he?” Shiloh asked.
Caleb soon began added food to plates.
“I put so much effort into this food!” Caleb said.
“Don’t you mean the cookbook did?” Jared said under his breath.
When Caleb got to Shiloh’s plate he dumped roast beef onto the plate straight from the pot. He leaned toward Shiloh.
“I gave you extra because you’re my favorite.” Caleb said followed by a girlish giggle.
Shiloh cringed in displeasure.
Caleb soon sat down and started carving the meat.
“So tell me, Mr. and Mrs. Kumori. What was Shiloh like as a little boy?” Caleb asked.
Shiloh spat out his soda.
“Well, there was a time when he got lice in 2nd grade. The shampoo and nitpicking worked so we didn’t have to shave his hair.” Ken said embarrassed.
“With perfectly parted hair like that it would have been such a shame.” Caleb said smiling at Shiloh.
Darla looked at Amber.
“Speaking of sons, what was Jared like as a little boy?” Darla asked Amber.
“I think you know the answer because you were there.” Amber said looking at Darla.
Darla stood up quickly nearly knocking the chair over.
“Why did you people treat him like that?” Darla yelled.
Amber dropped her fork.
“Darla, this really isn’t…” Amber began.
Roman soon overheard the conversation and walked into the room looking at Jared not eating.
“That’s enough!” Roman said slamming both fist on the table.
Roman’s face was read and sweaty.
“What did he do?” Roman growled.
Everybody was silent.
“If you all aren’t going to tell me I’ll ask Jared.” Roman said.
Jared’s eyes were focused on the food.
“Jared!” Roman shouted.
Jared didn’t answer him back. Roman grabbed Jared’s upper arm and pointed up the stairs.
“I’ve had enough of this. Now leave!” Roman shouted.
“Let go of me and then it will be physically possible for me to leave.” Jared said smiling.
Roman let go of Jared’s arm. Slowly, Jared walked upstairs.
Roman cleared his throat.
“I want everyone, except Caleb and Amber out of my house! Go!” Roman shouted.
Darla, Ken and Shiloh soon left the mansion and went back to their quiet suburb of Pond’s End.
,Chapter 7
When Jared got upstairs he sat on the floor and covered his eyes with his hands. Frittata was under his small bed and whimpering.
“You can come out now.” Jared said.
Frittata came out and put her front paws on Jared’s shoulder. She gently licked his cheek.
“Sometimes I wish that you were a human girl!” Jared said as he lifted Frittata.
He looked at Frittata’s tiny black eyes. Jared saw his reflection. He stuck out his pierced tongue at his reflection and made his eyes squint. Frittata jumped out of Jared’s hands.
The clopping of high heels was heard walking up the stairs.
“Amber! Do not go upstairs!” Roman said firmly.
“Roman, Jared doesn’t deserve this.” Amber said as she stopped walking up the stairs.
Jared ran to the door and peeked out at the stairs.
“I’ve already had to disown one family member and I cannot disown my own sister!” Roman shouted.
“Why should I have my brother boss me around like this? This is your fault! What happened at dinner was uncalled for and you call yourself a high society aristocrat?” Amber asked.
Roman groaned loudly.
“What are you going to do when you reach 50 and Jared takes over the throne? You only have a year left!” Amber shouted.
Roman paused for a few seconds.
“I’ll have him disposed of before he takes over.” Roman said without emotion.
Amber gasped.
“You monster!” Amber screamed.
Jared heard Amber slap Roman hard across the face. Jared got up and ran down the staircase.
When he got downstairs Amber and Roman looked directly at him. Jared breathed in and out heavily.
“Is that a threat or a promise?” Jared asked Roman seriously.
Roman walked towards Jared with a sneer on his face.
“Both.” Roman said.
Jared grabbed a hold of Roman’s shirt collar.
“So, you’re going put me somewhere where they’ll dope me up and make me a vegetable, perform all of these experiments on me and then kill me so I can be harvested?!” Jared shouted.
Roman tried to pull Jared away from him. Jared held on tighter while his eyes turned red.
“If you want to do that, you might as well do that right here, right now!” Jared shouted.
Roman soon thought back in time. He remembers Maya’s words:
Roman, take care of him. Love him unconditionally. Be the angel in demon’s body that you are. I love you…
Roman looked away from Jared.
“Let go of me please.” Roman asked softly
Jared removed his fingers from Roman’s shirt. His eyes soon returned to normal.
