The cover for "The Strongest in the Forest" by Jayde Holmes. The background is red and covered in dark red splatters like bloodstains. In the four ground is a digital sketch coloured only in black, white and gray of a crumbling square tower with a lone human on top facing down a large dragonlike creature that is clinging to the tower railings, with just a sword. The text is in white, with the book title at the top and the author name at the bottom.

Last April I started posting chapters of my novella 'The Strongest in the Forest' on my website. You can download the whole story for free here: buymeacoffee.com/jayde_holmes... or you can go here to read all three chapters, with my artwork. jaydeholmes.com/short-storie...

“Would you like it to be your fault?” He wasn’t sure what she meant by that. Marcus leaned back and met her eyes, glittering through her eyelashes at him. “You are yet unsatisfied,” Miriham whispered. “If you would like some culpability for my weakness, I would happily take your consent and engage in a little further sin. Perhaps with my mouth?” Marcus swallowed. He said nothing for one second, two seconds, five seconds, ten seconds… “N-No,” he croaked. “Better not.”

“I know who I’d blame for the way you feel, Vio. I blame him too.” A rumble in the ship. “Marcus Albright.” “Marcus fucking Albright!” laughed Alina. “Hero of the revolution and almighty cucklord!” “I simply do not understand what she sees in him!” Vio continued, much louder this time. “I prided myself on knowing Avalynne’s heart better than anyone! And in the blink of an eye, I am suddenly usurped from that position by a short-lived human from another galaxy! One who possesses none of Avalynne’s creative vigour, her passion, her courage! How could such a man truly see the heart of a woman such as Avalynne, I asked myself! And infuriatingly…!” “He’s right,” Alina whispered. “He is right!” Vio agreed. “He does understand her! Because the woman I knew changed while I was unconscious! And I can think of only one reason why that should be the case!” “Because he changed her,” Alina picked up. “He wormed his way into her heart and changed it. Weakened it.” “Weakened it…” Vio repeated. “Made her turn her eyes from that which matters! The freedom to set one’s own path in the universe!”

Curiously, Alystair frowned. He loved to dance. So why…? “You wish to consider your feelings for yonder captive, I fear,” he complained. “That or the… ever so charming and gallant Marcus Albright. Am I mistaken?” Why hide it? She had always been honest with him. “You are not.” Alystair, debonair and cultured. Gremory, professional and compassionate. And Marcus… Miriham knew well that her feelings for him were the most difficult to pin down. He had ever been a friend to her. He was charming. He was gallant. And when he loved her, the way he had done on Forsaken… Ancestors above, he had changed her life. “My Miriham,” grumbled Alystair. “So popular. How you must hate being the centre of such masculine attention.”

“You there!” Aki called out. Demi followed his gaze to the gaggle of elysian technicians, now staring openly at the embracing couple. The blond lad at the front, who Demi remembered being called Hiro, raised a hand in readiness for instruction. “Patriarch?” he called. “I am presently to make such love to my wife as she has never known before!” Aki declared. “Find us a bed! And for the love of the sages, make it sturdy!” The cats cheered. Hiro saluted his cultural leader with a radiant grin. “Yes, Patriarch!” he called. Then, after a quick deliberation between themselves, they scattered to find a nest.

A black and white digital illustration in a charcoal-style. The image depicts a harrowed-looking soldier in padded leather armors rushing towards the viewer. He wields a pockmarked black sword and his eyes are gleaming bright with trails of smoke escaping them. He is overwhelmed with the fervor of violence with a pained scowl.. Around the figure is a hazy snowstorm in a leafless forest. Faint outlines of other soldiers in the same armor can be seen in the background wearing similar scowls.

“Damnit! Why did it have to be %*!#ing zombies?!”

When she didn’t continue, Hal tried to kiss her again. Therese gnashed her teeth against his lips instead. “I’m desperate,” she gasped. “And the second you let me, I’m going to go wild on you.” “Nice.” “Not nice, Hal. I’m pent up and angry. I’ve let my heart stagnate, and I think I might misuse my feelings for you. I might hurt you.” “Nice.” “Hal! I might kill you!” He growled against her lips. “Try it.” Then he forced himself past her defences and kissed her. Therese moaned a plaintive, creaking moan, and then she was kissing him back. Hal tasted her tongue in his mouth, felt her teeth on his lips.

“I’ll say this, though,” Marcus continued. “I look at all of you, and I don’t think it looks like the Galactic Accord, right? The Accord tried to make this happen, but it was stuck with its old rules. It was too focussed on keeping everyone… I don’t know, safe? But that safety was isolation. We never got the chance to just talk with each other. Learn from and understand each other. My people especially…” RKON, Earth… That was another problem he’d have to try and solve someday. But not today. Not right now. “I’ll tell you what this looks like. It looks like the Forge. It looks messy and noisy and rowdy and ho-…” He cleared his throat as he thought better than to say that. But Avalynne, who knew him too well, raised her voice instead. “And horny!” A great cheer rose up across the assembly. The loudest assent seemed to focus around Liera. “Horny!!” was the cry.
