My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust
I'm a vampire because I am a hunter, and while I don't particularly enjoy tapping into the essence of who I am, I do it now.
I dig deep within me, feeling that raw, primal power of bloodlust.
Energy surges through me as the wind picks up, rattling the leaves and trees around me.
I start running and almost see wisps of scent weaving their way through the forest, like I'm tracking a wounded doe that's leaving me clues as she bleeds out.
I try to ignore Ara's scent because she isn't the one who's going to be on the receiving end of the violence that's building up inside me, but she's the one who calls out to me.
