There's only one thing left to do. I walk to my bedroom, open my nightstand drawer, and pull out my gun. There's one bullet in it, a silver one. My wolf howls in pain, knowing what's coming, but he knows it's the right thing to do. I hold the gun to my head and close my eyes, picturing Gail's sweet face. "I love you," I say as I pull the trigger. ________________ Adrian's P.O.V.

Even though we knew there really wasn’t one, it was an involuntary reaction. Murphy the vampire walked toward Troy and they shook hands.
