Excerpt: The Birth of Jaiden (blog tour)

Here is an excerpt from The Birth of Jaiden by Jennifer Malone Wright

He thought the room he was in looked like an underground cave. The damp stone walls had foreign
carvings etched into them. There were no bars anywhere, the only things which kept him captive were the chains attached to his cuffs and the guards.
I have to find a way out, he told himself, then thought about the puddle of his own blood in which he sat. There was no way he could move with the amount of blood he had lost. He knew his only chance would be for the council to find him. He was sure he would bleed to death if he stayed cuffed
in the cold much longer. A few moments later, he heard a commotion in the stairwell leading to his prison. Then, a tall woman emerged onto the landing. She had short black hair and wore very large dangling diamond earrings. Her maroon evening gown shimmered like it was covered in the same diamonds which
hung from her ears.
She locked gazes with Stewart. He stared deep into her green pupils; as she breathed in, her eyes briefly flashed red. Slowly, she turned to the guards and told them in a thick British accent, “Malcolm wants him taken to the doctor now.”
“Right away, Miss Levine,” the largest of the guards replied.
“He said to come and get him after they have him healthy enough.” She turned back to Stewart and crouched down over him. Stewart knew of Levine, though he had never seen her; hardly anyone had ever seen her. She was Malcolm’s lady. The story was that he had never taken another lady besides her and she had remained by his side as his queen for hundreds of years. Her lips moved lightly over his earlobe. “Your blood smells delicious.”
“Thank you.”
“Oh, young man, you have no idea what I could do to you right now if I wanted to.” Stewart snorted. “I’ll use my imagination.” She caressed his face. “It’s lucky for you that my husband wants you alive and untouched.”
“Yeah, that’s lucky.” He couldn’t help the sarcasm. She removed her hands and stood. “Just be a good little
prisoner.” With that said, she turned quickly, exiting, via the stairs from which she had arrived.

Summary: 

Long ago, a prophecy was foreseen. A child would be born, a child who held the power to destroy the world. Now, it is up to Alexander Lucas, a one-hundred-year-old vampire, to keep the baby girl safe from his arch enemy Malcolm.

In order to save her, Alexander must raise the child as his own. Will he be able to resist his vampire tendencies to care for a human baby? With the help of the wisest of the supernatural, an organization called The Great Council, Alexander must face many battles to ensure the safety of this very special child.

Jennifer Malone Wright resides in the beautiful mountains of northern Idaho with her husband and five children. Between the craziness of taking care of her children, whose ages range from fifteen all the way down to one year, and being a homemaker, Jennifer has little time left for herself. The time she does have left, usually leading far into the night, is spent working on freelance work or her beloved fiction.

When she grew up, Jennifer always had her nose in a book. She has been writing stories and poems since grade school. This love of the written word and her strong interest in the paranormal is what has led to her first novel “The Birth of Jaiden.”

In addition to being a mother and homemaker, Jennifer is also a very proud military wife. Moving around the country for the last ten years has made her a bit of a nomad and she finds it difficult to be in one place for too long.
