Her veins reject ordinary blood, but the energy of kinship, bond, or fated ties may hold her lantern steady.” Marcus stiffened at the word fated.

Aidan said, dusting himself off, “you invited me. I didn’t expect to find a naked female laid out on the breakfast bar like a buffet.” He helped himself to a glass from the cupboard, like he lived there, then he turned to Marcus. "I couldn't tell if she was breathing." Marcus looked away, shoulders stiff. What the hell was that supposed to mean? Was she not safe with him? She remembered the blood. His teeth in her.

Fresh, dark crimson blood—nearly pitch black—poured heavily onto the cold marble floor. A sharp, biting pain pierced my consciousness, but it was nothing compared to the absolute fire of vengeance consuming my chest. ​With this blood, I lock our fates, I chanted silently, shutting my eyes tight. ​Whoosh!
