The Queens: Queen's Move

Hi, my name is Nikita Slater and I'm the International Bestselling author of The Queens series, Fire & Vice series, The Sanctuary series, Driven Hearts series and several standalone novels. I've loved the written word my entire life and am an avid reader, as well as a writer. I live, eat and breathe books and I'm always working on something new! ​ I live on the beautiful Canadian prairies with my son and crazy awesome dog. I have an unholy affinity for books (especially dark romance), wine, pets and anything chocolate. Despite some of the darker themes in my books (which are pure fun and fantasy), I am a staunch feminist and advocate of equal rights for all races, genders and non-gender specific persons. When I'm not writing, dreaming about writing or talking about writing, I love to help others discover a love of reading and writing through literacy and social work.

Chapter 42

The moment the door closed behind Nico and Desi, Vee collapsed, her legs folding beneath her. Sotza caught her before she hit the floor. He lifted her in his arms and carried her into the kitchen, placing her on the counter. When she tried to sit up he pushed her back down.

"Looks like you've lost a fair amount of blood," he grunted examining her bandage. "I'm going to have to clean it, stitch and rewrap it. Then we need to get the fuck off this island, we have no protection. I'm certain Juan is dead. John probably killed him before taking you." His accent was stronger than usual. From the stress of Nico's attack and her injury, she guessed.

"Poor Juan… that sounds horrible," Vee said faintly, referring to the stitches and rewrapping part of his statement. "Wait, how did you know it was John that grabbed me?"

"He admitted it."
