LOGINKAELMy entire life force cripples to a stop at the same time that my mate does. My heart is thrashing around in my chest at the sight of her weak form, her skin a very scary shade of pale under the unwavering moonlight.It takes all of the patience that I don't have to watch and wait as she battles against the vampire in front of her.I felt it the moment she took over, the moment she slipped past her own walls and dominated his mind, but nothing could've prepared me for the swell of pride in my chest as his head explodes, brain matter, blood, and bone bits slapping the already grimy walls and concrete floor.She slumps, but before her body touches the ground, I'm there. My arms sweep around her, wrapping delicately around her frame like I'm scared she'd break.Maybe I am. Maybe the wildness in my chest is courtesy of my own fear. A fear that is neither familiar nor faint, the thought in my head tears a violent growl from my throat.What if she dies?She'd better not. I'd uproot the

KAELNeil's words stay with me the whole drive home, and a thought sings in the back of my head as I continue to stew over it.Could he be right? Was this my one chance to actually redeem myself from the shackles that have bound me for a whole lifetime?I shake my head, a mirthless laugh falling past my lips as I remember just what curse I carry. "If you're so certain that she can't help, why did you run all the way to your company tonight?" Rico's agitated voice carries over my thoughts, inputting itself firmly in the center of my mind."Not the time, Rico," I snap. I don't want to admit that he's right. I'm not so sure that he's entirely right, anyway. Her smell still lingers on my skin, eating deep into the flesh underneath and soaking itself into the very essence of my being.I want her.

ELIRA"Look who it is. Our freshly deflowered patron."The familiar voice causes me to spin around, my hair falling around my face. I smile at him, even as I hope he doesn't note the redness of my cheeks. "Hi, Fangs," I greet back.The huge man flashes me a grin, a dimple popping on his cheek in t
ELIRAThis is the wildest thing I have ever done in my life.My jaw is nearly hitting the floor as I scan the incredibly packed expanse of this room. If I ever need an imagery for sin, this is definitely it.“What do you think?” There’s a smile in Brie’s voice as she asks, standing beside me on the
ELIRAI'm moving before I can stop myself. My hands fist in her hair and I pull her off the floor, fueled by an adrenaline that I can't explain—nor care to."How dare you?" I scream, my voice catching on a sob. "You've been..."The words fail me, and so do my legs. I fall to the floor as she shoves
ELIRA I can feel it all. The pain, the hollowness, the confusion. Everything is mixing violently inside me and making rational thought a luxury I can’t afford.
