Robert Montgomery POV:

Ricky’s eyes sharpened. “What did you say?”

“Rotten blood?” Charlotte tilted her head at me in surprise. “Is that really what it smelled like?”

However, my focus is on Ricky, and the troubled expression on his face doesn’t escape me.

“How’re you feeling right now?” Ricky asks her.

“Fresh. "Better than I have in ages,” Charlotte replies warily.

“Good. There’s a spare set of clothes in the back room. Go change into them and leave what you have on there. I want to take a sample of the blood.”

As she nods and walks away, I say, “I’m already getting a sample collected and delivered to you, but with all the hocus-pocus you’ve got around this place, I don’t know if my guy is going to be able to find it.”

Charlotte is already gone when I say the last part, and the way Ricky reacts to the phrase “hocus-pocus” confirms my suspicions.

    Charlotte Sanguinite POV:“You’re walking funny again,” Jazz observes, grinning as she empties the dishwasher. “I know what that means.”The kitchen door opens, and Gina walks out with a tray of glasses. “So, I think things are going well with you and Robert?”“I’d say they are,” Jazz laughs as I try to ignore their sly teasing. She called in again yesterday. You’re lucky. I’m such an accommodating manager. I take my employees’ love lives into consideration.”“I’m glad you’re happy, Charlotte.” Gina sets down the tray and pats my shoulder, smiling at me. “Everyone needs a little love in their life.”“And speaking of love, your boyfriend is here.” Jazz points out the window. “See?”As I looked over to see Robert crossing the street, I heard Jazz whisper, &l

    Charlotte Sanguinite POV:I’m warm and comfortable when a thudding sound has me stirring.My brows wrinkling, I buried my face in Robert’s chest, wanting the annoying sound to stop. However, it’s like a consistent drum, refusing to take a break.Wait… Robert’s chest?My eyes fly open, and I realize I’m in my room, but I’m not alone on the bed. Robert is holding me in his arms, his eyes closed, he's breathing deep.What is he doing here?The room is cold. I’m tucked inside the blanket as he holds me to him, but Robert is on top of it.Silly man. I touch his hands and feel displeased. He’s like a block of ice. He should have climbed under the covers with me.The pounding sound intensifies, and I figure out it’s coming from downstairs. Someone’s banging on the front door.“Robert.” I shook him, but he

    Robert Montgomery POV:I never thought the day would come when I would be annoyed at being stuck in meetings. I’ve always been a workaholic. When you’re always working, you don’t have time to think about which parts of your life are lacking.But now, these meetings simply seem like they’re interrupting my time with Charlotte. She told me she’d be heading to the animal shelter tonight. I don’t want her around that vet, Ricky. He’s not human. I don’t know what he is, but the day Charlotte was attacked, he realized that I had figured out he wasn’t a human.I didn’t even get the chance to confront him.

    Charlotte Sanguinite POV:Terrence rubbed his hand over his face. “What are you talking about? Beruth told me that you up and left. You turned your back on your family.”“How would you know what happened?” I ask, my tone scathing. When didn't you bother writing to me or asking me what I was going through? I was tossed out of the compound in the middle of the night, just a few days after I turned fourteen. My father and my siblings threw me out at a time when predators would be roaming the woods. They wanted me to die. But I survived. I will always survive. And now you’re here pretending to be clueless!”I felt my phone vibrate in my hand, under the table. Without bringing it into view, I accept the call, already knowing who it is.“Tell me why you’re here, Terrence. You don’t need to bother hiding your

    Charlotte Sanguinite POV:The thunderstorms continued for a few days.Rainy weather usually means less business at the cafe, since people don’t really like to venture out of their homes or offices with such downpours on the cards. We mostly have takeout orders and a few remote workers who’re huddled in the corner booths, fueling themselves with coffee and snacks every couple of hours.I checked the time and sighed.Shelby is out sick, and Gina has a doctor’s appointment. Jazz just slipped out of hand in her thesis and told me to close up without her. It’s around 6:45, and I’ve already cleaned the whole place. Robert told me he'd be in a meeting tonight, so I had to head to t
