My heart was in my stomach while I raced towards my house. I could feel her blood sticking to my body. I had to get ahold of Agora and see if there was a way for her to help. Most vampires would have already healed, but it seemed that Katya didn’t possess that healing power, or it was slower than usual. Maybe, she needed blood. I wonder when her last injections were. She couldn’t consume blood like a normal vampire, I knew that much, but, what if it was given to her. I slice across my chest with an elongated claw that shifted in my hand, blood started to pour out of the gaping wound, and I turn and press Katya’s mouth to it. “Come on Katya, drink it please,” I whisper to her, pressing her mouth to my wound. She stirred faintly but I still had to force her mouth open so blood could drain in. I entered my room and placed her gently on the bed with her still drinking from me. It was the most erotic thing I had ever experienced, had I not been distracted by her bleeding profusely from

I was sitting quietly in the bushes waiting to spot the elusive forbidden that had been circling Killian’s pack lands, they definitely had begun hunting us instead of us hunting them. What could possibly have caused this shift? It still irked me, I was missing something and that hardly ever happened. I heard twigs snap behind me. I shift quietly to turn around and give myself room to unsheath my sword. “Calm down it’s me,” Killian whispered leaning down next to me. “What are you doing here?” I hissed. “We discussed this.” “Eh, technically you screeched at me while I stood in shock that you smacked me upside my head,” Killian answered with a small smile. “I don’t screech.” I was offended, I never screeched. “It was a high octave.” “Shut up, I don’t like that you’re here.” “Listen, I need to do something, and actually feel like I’m accomplishing something, so I can go hunt somewhere else or we can work in twos like you told all your people they were supposed to.” “Them

I sat emersed in my thoughts of my childhood, and how Sarai had tormented me for my so-called weakness, how as I became older, my father joined her. My mother was my only friend in the constant darkness, but she too fled, and never looked back much like I had chosen to do. My phone started ringing bringing me out of my thoughts as I sat in the parking lot of Katya’s club. “Yeah?” I asked, slightly irritated. “They’re at a hotel that situated over one hundred miles away, why would she come this way, Killian?” Markus on the other end answered perturbed. “That’s what I want to know. Sarai never misses or loves anyone, what do they want? What are they doing?” “There is a bank conference there, but I thought your dad dropped the banking investments he was making?” “Dad said the best way to lose money was to depend on human banks, he pulled out of that shit over two years ago, he only invests in cars now.” “Would Sarai invest in banks?” “She is quite adept at money situations, but w

Normally, someone would say two weeks is a breeze, but this was far from a breeze. I kept picturing Katya, and her long black hair and cat-like eyes. What could I do? I hadn’t figured out if I would bow to her or not. She hadn’t reached out, I knew she wouldn’t, but a part of me had hoped she would. I was sitting here like a love-struck teenager, it was ridiculous. I could have any woman in this entire world, why did I want her and only her. She invaded my dreams, my every waking moment, nothing I did would stop it, nothing. Morpheus asked me if I would be willing to bow to her, and as much as I would say no out loud, I knew I would. I would bow in a heartbeat if she would be mine. I would bow to see that very rare smile. “Killian?” Markus knocked on the office door. “You have a visitor.” “Let them in,” I say, standing. Markus walks into the room, his face told me everything I needed to know. “Move you, oaf,” Sarai said, pushing past Markus. “Brother, you don’t look happy to see m

Two weeks had passed since Killian and I had argued. Well, technically I argued Killian listened to me argue. I wasn’t proud about hitting him, but he refused to listen; it scared me that he would put himself in danger for me. I didn’t want that. I was happy alone; wasn’t I? No, I was happy. I walked out of my bedroom to Luscious nervously waiting for me in my living room. “Knock much?” I ask, giving him a smile. “No door.” He answers, gesturing to the elevator. I laugh. “Good point. What’s up?” “So, um, I’ve been talking to everyone, and, um” he clears his throat rubbing the back of his neck, “we want you to be our person in charge. Would it be an Alpha?” “Why me?” I ask, I had figured it was coming. “You brought us together, who better to lead us?” “You?” I answered hopefully, making him laugh. “So when do we vow our allegiance, and kneel by our swords.” I roll my eyes. “I’m not your queen, dummy,” I say. “No? You’ve been our savior for quite some time, Katya. T

I had just finished putting my sweats on and was looking at the cuts I had gotten during the fight in the mirror when my bedroom door flung open. Katya stomped into the room slamming the door behind her, she was pissed. Oh was she pissed. She didn’t slow down she walked straight up to me and smacked me across the face. I had been in so many fights growing up, but this hit stung me to my core. “Are you dumb, or are you stupid?” She yelled. “Neither,” I answered, trying to contain my anger. “Well, that was a fine display of both of those things, Killian.” “I helped you, why are you mad?” “Because Killian, because you are an Alpha, did you for a minute think about what would happen to your pack if you died?” “As a matter of fact, it hadn’t crossed my mind,” I say leaning against the wall. “Does it ever cross your mind, what would happen to the vampires in your building if you lost?” “No, because I have measures in place, you dumbass.” She yelled. “Well, I’ll get measures in place
