RyderTears flowed down my face, making silent tracks through the dust on my cheeks. Coal had just left, and I could no longer hold my eyes open. My fingertips trembled as I tried to apply pressure to the saturated rag against my throat to slow down the crimson liquid dribbling out.The scent of blood was intense, metallic and iron. It caused my Wolf’s nose to wrinkle. I focused on breathing and calming my heart rate so the blood wouldn’t come out as fast. Maybe I could last long enough for him to kill our father and return in time to save me. Even as I thought the words, I knew how foolish they were. I had already lost a lot of blood. The flow was not as steady now, but it was only a matter of time. Not enough time.Abruptly, another overpowering scent hit my nose—Aatos!My eyes flew open, darting around wildly. I didn’t see him. Still, my sensitive Wolf nose didn’t lie...Aatos was close. How?! How had he found me? In another second, Aatos came into view, instantly crouching by my s

My Wolf purred with satisfaction at making the vampire lose control. Aatos returned the fervency, moving his fingers in my ass harder and faster...so hard, I cried out at the pleasure. My cry was cut off by his relentless lips.Silence reigned as we kissed, biting and licking, sucking each other’s lips. My hand wrapped around his cock, jerking him off, his three fingers buried deep in my ass, pounding me to completion.And then I could take no more. My balls pulled up tight. I cursed loudly, “Fuck yes!” and released, my cock shooting. Aatos’ let go at the same time, grunting loudly, as he added his cum to my belly, hot and thick.I panted to catch my breath. Aatos’ eyes were still wild, locked on mine. He dragged his finger through his cum and brought it to my lips. His tone was low and deep as he commanded, “Taste me.”I opened my mouth, allowing it inside and sucked the salty liquid clean from his finger. My Wolf growled in approval at the taste.Abruptly, a female voice could be he

Before I even had time to ask, Aatos dove down to the ground, somersaulted and came back up in one smooth move, jerking his body to the left to avoid the mass of fur, teeth, and claws whirling around him. In the next second, he was back by our side and thrust his hand out. Something green and gold glittered in his palm. It was a man’s ring, but I didn’t recognize it.Savannah apparently did because she gasped loudly, “No!”Aatos growled at me, his fangs gleaming, “Who does this belong to?”I was taken aback by his feral and clearly deadly tone. I swallowed past the lump in my throat and stammered, “I don’t know...I—I’ve never seen it before.”“Is it possible?” Savannah hissed.Aatos didn’t answer. Instead, he jerked his phone from his pocket and pressed the button. Almost instantly, a male responded. Even though Aatos held the phone to his ear, my Wolf senses allowed me to easily hear the person on the other end, deep and gravelly, “Speak.”Chills ran down my spine. There was somethin

The vampire king shifted his position. His gleaming fangs extended—the sight of them causing me to hold my breath—as he bit into his wrist, opening the vein.Pressing his arm tightly to Brinley’s mouth, he wrapped his other hand around her head to keep her in place. In her unconscious state, Brinley didn’t fight him. She appeared to be swallowing slowly.I stared in confusion. If the vampire didn’t think he could save Brinley, then what was he doing giving her his blood?He answered my unspoken question, his tone hard. ”She’s lost too much blood. Her heart has slowed past the point of saving her. Her only option left is for me to turn her.”Turn her?My heart felt like helicopter blades beating in my chest.Surely, he couldn’t mean…Never stopping his deadly dance with the attacking wolves, Aatos cursed, “Fuck! We don’t have a human.”Trepidation crashed over me. “What do you need a human for?”“Their blood,” the vampire answered evenly.I couldn’t hold back my gasp. “All of it?”He s

With a burst of energy, he roared as his jaws clamped down on Alpha’s neck, piercing through fur and muscle.Alpha fell with my Wolf on top of him, our paws wrapped tightly around his shoulders, our claws impaled in his flesh. With one snap of his head, my Wolf tore out Alpha’s throat.The fight was over...Alpha was dead.Finally!My Wolf stood to his feet, trembling, as hundreds of living threads suddenly connected to him!He felt them. All of them—the pack!My heart stuttered painfully as searing warmth filled our chest. The surge of life within us was enough to cause my Wolf to stumble under the emotion of it.For a moment, we were too overwhelmed to move, just panting heavily. But after another minute, there was only one place we wanted to be—Brinley!BrinleyI couldn’t stop shaking.A single phrase repeated in my head over and over…I was a vampire now!! Not just me, but my Wolf as well! Very much present and just as confused as I was.What did this mean?Savannah had gently re
