Beruth Sanguinite is a sadist. Both my siblings inherited that cruel streak of his. I never mourned my brother’s death; I felt relieved. One less monster in this world.Clyde used to enjoy luring human girls into the woods around our compound, where he and his friends would each have a go at her, drinking her blood till there was no more ecstasy for her, just pain. The bite of a vampire is like a potent drug. In certain parts of Europe, there are human farms where humans willingly live with vampires.Over here, human farms are not a thing. We’re not allowed to drink from humans at all. But it’s not a hard-and-fast rule; it only becomes a problem if the human becomes aware of what is happening. Most of the time, vampires drink during sex, as the human reaches his or her climax. In Europe, the humans are treated better than they are here. Clyde and his friends would not let their victims enjoy the experience or even hide what they were from their victims.They tormented the girls and dr

I know why Morris changed the topic. While Harry is now technically an adult, Morris is quite protective of him. He doesn’t want Harry to be too entrenched in this fight with the vampires.“You okay, Robert?” Morris asks as he’s finally leaving, his brother-in-law in tow.I nod. “Yeah. I’ll probably get some food and then head to bed. I feel pretty tired.”“Maria said that would happen,” Harry pipes up. “She said the wolfsbane in your blood was really potent, so you’ll still feel a little weak. I’ll order you some rare steak burgers.”“Thanks.” I hear the door close behind them before slumping back into the couch cushions.There are a few things still puzzling me.My wolf’s reaction.I remember feeling weak, the wolfsbane muting my animal. But there was a surge of protectiveness, an adrenaline rush that had me shifting, working against the wolfsbane that was killing me. I remember blood in my mouth and an icy scent that was also undeniably sweet. My wolf’s response to that scent is in

I find myself coughing up the cash, unable to deny her that. “This is extortion.”She just shrugs.As I walk out with my coffee, knowing she’s not going to answer any of my questions this easily, my lips twitch again.She’s cute.And possibly dangerous.I’ll have to dig deeper into Charlotte.If she has any secrets, I’ll find them.Chapter 5Charlotte SanguiniteI know better than to mouth off to an Alpha of a prominent shifter pack, but the way he looked at me, as if I were nothing more than a pesky insect, pissed me off.I didn’t know that vampires were no longer allowed to conduct business in shifter territories. I have always tried to stay away from any establishment owned by my former clan, and they had no reason to inform me of such a decision.I press my fist to my mouth as I look at job postings in the city. The problem is that, even with the map in front of me, the lines between each territory aren’t clearly marked. As an exiled vampire, I will not be welcome in any vampire c

As soon as I end the call, I absentmindedly stuff the crumpled card into my pocket and look at Shelby. “I’ll finish wiping down the tables. Do you mind locking up tonight? I’m needed at the animal shelter.”“Of course!” Shelby seems a little too relieved, for some reason.Ricky knows where I work because sometimes I bring him free coffee and leftovers from our bakery section. I’m drying the coffee pots when the taxi arrives.“I’m leaving, Shelby!” I call out.In response, the older woman hurries out of the kitchen, holding a bag. “Here. We have a lot left over.”The smell of the beef buns makes my mouth water. Shelby has gone the extra mile and heated them up for me.“You’re the best, Shelby.” I beam at her, feeling much better.Grabbing my things, I make a beeline for the taxi waiting outside. Fortunately, there’s not much to pack for an annoyed Mano when I reach my apartment. But I slide my pajamas and a shirt into my bag. Ricky is waiting outside the shelter for me when the taxi fi

When she looks up, she wipes her eyes with one hand. “Thank you for finding her and bringing her back.”“Of course.” I smile at her warmly. My eyes are drawn to her clothes once again. They’re childishly endearing, and I grin. “I like the pajamas.”She looks down, and her cheeks flush instantly. Seeing the color spread across her pale skin makes me want to tease her more. From our first meeting, I have found her beautiful. The fact that she’s one of those bloodsuckers hasn’t done anything to diminish that attraction. Even when I grew suspicious of her, I couldn’t deny how her presence made me want to admire her beauty. And now, as she looks at me, sniffling, the red coloring her cheeks in embarrassment and mortification, I find my gaze drawn to those pouty lips. There is nothing elegant or sophisticated about her at this moment, and yet all I can think about is how pretty she looks.“I—I didn’t think I’d run into anybody.” She holds the cat closer to her chest. “Especially not you.”“
