Girls, there´s a new excerpt out of Dark Slayer. Slavica from the Members Only Section posted it:
"Dark Slayer - September 1 Excerpt
For the Gregori lovers out there.....
"We will know what really happened when Ivory chooses to tell us." Gregori stretched and tried to stand. Dizzy from lack of blood he sank back down. "In the meantime, we can only hold to this course we are on and work to help the pair survive."
"They may be the key to destroying Xavier."
"I think you may be right, Mikhail."
The prince offered his wrist to his son-in-law. "Take what I freely offer. And Gregori, this time you heed what I tell you. You go home to Savannah and you rest. I have already sent her a message that you are on your way. I've asked Syndil to meet with you there."
"You sent word to Savannah?" Gregori glared at the prince. "She's going to fuss over me and you know she's pregnant with the twins and needs to rest."
"She needs to feel as if she's helping her lifemate. Go home and rest. You said it yourself, these two will survive. Perhaps in talking with Syndil, she will find a way to enrich the soil even more in order to lessen their suffering."
Gregori made his way home, avoiding the two women and their lifemates waiting to speak with Mikhail. He didn't want to try to reassure them that Razvan and Ivory would live. He believed they would, but he didn't understand how, and he could barely function with the amount of pain washing over him each time he touched them. There would be no speaking to them, no getting answers, maybe even no recognition from Razvan for those women-he was too far gone. On top of the couple's pain, he didn't wish to feel the pain of a sister and daughter for the suffering of a loved one.
Savannah waited at the door for him, her beautiful face smiling, welcoming, her eyes so compassionate that for a moment he wanted to weep with joy that he'd been given such a miracle. He just gathered her silently into his arms and held her tight to him.
Savannah walked him inside. "You look tired."
"I am tired."
She tried not to be alarmed. Gregori never admitted to being tired but this couple, so torn and mangled, fighting valiantly to live when anyone else would have chosen to go to the next life, had captured far more than his attention as a healer. She knew her lifemate well. He respected that couple, wanted-even needed-to find a way to end their suffering.
Savannah put her arms around him and held him, laying her head against his chest. Gregori's hand came up to stroke her hair.
"How are the girl's behaving this evening?"
"Kicking a lot. We're getting closer. I don't think they're going to wait much longer."
"Maybe I should talk to them," Gregori suggested. "It is not yet time. They are too anxious and need to stay where they are safe."
Savannah laughed, the sound happy and bright, dispelling some of his tension. "I don't think you should talk to them again. You always sound gruff and stern and the little one is a rebel. Whatever you order, she does just the opposite." She glanced mischievously up at him. "I have a feeling she's going to be a lot like you."
"Don't say that. I was a very bad child."
Savannah laughed again and Gregori found himself smiling. He dropped several kisses on her nose. "Have I told you that I'm madly in love with you?"

I think this book is gonna be one of the greatest Carpathian novels CF has ever written, and I love this little scene with Gregori and Savannah. It's wonderful to see how deeply inlove they are, and how becoming Gregori's lifemate and now, a soon-to-be-mother, has matured Savannah; I think she's really come into her own as a woman, and as a future leader among the Carpathian Race. LOL And I love how Savannah teases her lifemate, about their future daughter being like him, when it comes to stubborness. LOL And I could definitly see Gregori being a handful as a little boy; no doubt his parents got some grey hairs, in dealing with their minature Dark One. LOL ;D ;D ;D
