The Curse Of Veneto Novels & Stories

"Vanessa, you came... I knew it! Just one night with you—if we sleep together, the curse breaks. I'll survive..." Beatrice shoved me toward him. "She's here, Dario. You're saved!"

He couldn't finish. Rowan tugged lightly at Nathan's sleeve. "Nate." His voice was small, uncertain. "What's going on? What curse? What does this have to do with Arabella?" Nathan looked at him—really looked at him—and saw the confusion, the fear, the desperate need to understand. "The Vitale bloodline is cursed," Nathan said quietly. "It's ancient.

Then he set it down, turned, walked toward Alex. "His curse," Vincenzo said. "The wolf and the hound. You think there's any truth to it?" Alex looked at him.

But their happiness didn't last long when the vital truth revealed itself. Breeding between a vampire and werewolves resulted in a hybrid. It was a sort of a blessing to be a hybrid, the strongest but every blessing had a curse following after. What curse?

Unlike his great grandfather, King Endor, it is said that he couldn't use both sides at the same time. This was a curse placed by witches on hybrids.

I couldn't see his face but I knew, my thundering heart could feel it was him. I tried to open my eyes until I saw the burning chapel and people panicking. What happened? I looked up at the man who was carrying me. I stared at him until my vision got clearer and I met his eyes; it was him. I held his cheeks as my .tears started falling again. I remembered everything.
