I wish my husband were dead. I married him to save someone I loved. Now I’ve been trapped in this loveless marriage for years. He parades his mistresses right in front of me. Strikes me if I say something he doesn’t like. When he’s away on one of his business trips, I head to a bar to blow off steam. My intention is to go home alone, but that changes when I see him, the sexiest man ever. He buys me a drink. Stares at me in a way my husband never has—or any man ever. He doesn’t say much, but when he does, it’s all the right things. Asks if he can take me home, and I want to scream my answer at the top of my lungs. But I decide to tell him the truth instead. “I’m married.” My husband isn’t faithful to me, but he’s dangerous. Dangerous, as in, he kills people. Lots of people. “And my husband is someone you don’t want to cross…” “I’m not someone you want to cross either.” His stare doesn’t falter with the information. On his right hand is a diamond ring, carved into a human skull. Built like an ox, he looks like he could be dangerous too. The energy he emits from his strong body is subtly hostile, but not directed at me. “Let’s go, sweetheart.” I should say no—but I don’t think I can.

Afinal, a cada lua de sangue, ele reivindicava meu corpo. Então, no auge de um prazer agonizante, ele afundava as presas no meu pescoço e bebia meu sangue. Ele pressionava os lábios frios contra minha pele e sussurrava que eu era sua única, que nenhum outro sangue, nenhum outro corpo poderia fazê-lo perder o controle daquele jeito. Mas, desta vez, no momento em que terminou, ele anunciou um vínculo eterno com Elsie, a princesa de sangue puro do clã Valerius. Ele sorriu com desdém ao ver o choque em meu rosto.
