A chance encounter between two fated strangers, and what was meant to be a night of unforgettable passion, grants more than they bargained for, changing their lives forever. ♡●♡●♡ Three years may seem like such a short period of time for many, but for Cassilas Yildiz, it was a lifetime. Because three years ago, he was still human. Yvonne Ntaba is a 22-year-old born to a religious family and coerced into an arranged marriage by her mother. With only a few weeks left to her pending nuptials, she finds her desire to get away from the clutches of her family growing stronger by the second, and a chance encounter with the shy and alluring vampire may just be the escape she needs. Except... it does not come cheap. In a world where vampires are known to be a myth, and the idea of their existence an abomination, will Silas and Yvonne find love and healing while trying to adjust to their new reality? Or will the undisclosed history between their families, along with their beliefs and differences, lead to their ultimate demise?

01 // Strangers

I've always wondered what it was like living life outside religion and family, having the freedom to just be.It was the same story every day, being told what to wear, how to sit, how to speak... it was only a matter of time before they dictated when to breathe.I was in a room full of people, and yet my heart and spirit were not there. It was time for praise and worship, the congregation at large was praying as if competing with the piano man; and I just stood there, not knowing what to say because my dreams were out of reach. We are told to pray to God and speak what is in our hearts, but in the eye of the church, what I wanted was against our belief.What was so bad about wanting to be my own person, to want to see the world and meet different people? What was so wrong about wanting to breathe different air away from this place?My phone vibrated in my purse, and I looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to me, but they were all praying.'Meet me outside.'...

02 // Hands On
The smell of cigarettes was overwhelming, I couldn't wear the sweater for longer than a minute. As if reading my mind, he said, "Sorry." I handed the sweater back to him and he put it on, covering his face with the hoodie yet again. "It's okay, thanks for the warm gesture though," I said, and he laughed. I could never get used to that rumbling laughter. "Was that pun intended?" My cheeks warmed up. "Maybe." "I'm Silas, by the way. And you are?" We stopped outside me and Esra's room. "I'm Yvonne." "Well, nice to meet you, Yvonne." He held out his hand, and I stared at him before linking our hands in a handshake. I gasped as a familiar feeling of electricity shot up my arm, and I snatched my hand away. I wanted to ask him if we had met earlier, but I couldn't find the words. We stood there awkwardly, until he cleared his throat. "Well then, goodnight," He said and walked away. "Wait!" I

03 // The Taste of Freedom
His hands flew to his face and his face morphed into a horrified expression when he realised he no longer had his shades, and his amber eyes swept across the room in search of his sunglasses. My heart was beating in my throat as I watched him pace around, and all I could think was, his eyes are glowing an almost-red orange. That was not normal. He found them under the towels on the bed and then rushed to the bathroom, coming out with his sweater, and he headed straight for the door. "Silas, wait!" I curled my toes as my feet landed on the cold tiles, and I paddled to the door before he could get there, blocking his way as I stood with my back against the door. "Yvonne, get out of my way," he said in a broken voice, not meeting my eyes even though he had retreated to wearing sunglasses. "Yvonne." There was warning in his voice, and I should probably have listened, but I didn't. "When I saw you wearing glasses earlier, I thought maybe your

04 // Blind Spot
I groaned as I tried to get up, my body felt weird. I don't suppose this is a result of a beauty spa. My thighs were paining as if I'd just begun working out after being on hiatus for years, I could barely move. I ran my hands over my skin, and my eyes shot open, prompting me into a sitting position, and I regretted it immediately because it was a bit painful down there. My mind started racing with thoughts, and I could feel my eyes stinging with tears. Why was I stark naked? I raised the bed sheet and peeked under just to be sure that this was all a dream. A choked sob escaped my lips and the tears started rolling as I wrapped the sheet around my body and climbed out of bed, my eyes widening in horror at the blood spots on the linen. "No." I shook my head furiously, taking uncoordinated steps backwards. The main door opened and a chirpy Esra walked in. "Hey, sleeping beauty, you are finally awake! You were sleeping like a–"

05 // Surprise Guests
It is said that non-believers only call upon God’s name when they are in serious trouble. Well, I went to church literally seven days a week, but I doubt He would save me right now, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I’ve been a very bad girl in the last twenty-four hours. I've just been in enough situations to know when, or not God chooses to show up and show off. The temperature in the room dropped instantly, and I felt the hair at the back of my neck rise. I felt like I was being watched and I didn’t dare turn around, I reached for my phone and ran for the door, calling Esra as soon as I was out of the house. Not even an hour later, she sped into the compound and got out of the car, pulling me into a hug. “I couldn’t hear you on the phone, you were saying a lot of things at once, are you okay?” She asked worriedly while inspecting my face for any injuries. “What happened?” I didn’t have a single scratch on me, but I was shaken. “I

06 // Bride-to-be
It's been two weeks since they announced my wedding date, and I was officially getting married in a week. Yes, my wedding was a week from now, and I was going through the hell of looking for a wedding dress with my sister. My mother hasn't been speaking to me since I broke her China set, the only time she said something was when she suggested designing traditional attires for the wedding instead of having a white wedding. And when I turned down her idea, she resumed the silent treatment. I was being forced into this marriage, the least they could do is give me a perfect wedding. We already picked a venue for the reception, the wedding was obviously going to be held at the church. "You are serious about marrying this guy, aren't you?" Ivy asked, while rocking the baby on her chest. "Does it look like I have a choice?" "If I were you, I would have run away." I glared at my sister. "Seriously, Ivy? We both know that if thi

07 // Two Stripes
Two lines. I couldn't stop crying and haven't attempted to move from where I was seated on the floor. Two weeks had passed since the entire ordeal at the resort, and since then, I've never even once thought about it. It never happened. That's what I kept telling myself, I pushed it to the back of the closet, never to be opened again. Esra never brought it up, neither did I. It was all a dream, and I guess I convinced myself that was true. But Flo had a completely different story. In case anybody wondered, Flo was an app I used to keep track of my period, and as it was, my period was late by two days. I don't remember much about that night, but I don't remember finding a used condom the following morning either. Why didn't it ever occur to me? How could I be so reckless? My mother was going to kill me. "I am not pregnant, I am not pregnant, I am not pregnant," I chanted, rocking back and f

08 // Uncovered
My ears were ringing as if a bomb had gone off in the room, Ivy was speaking but I could not make out what she was saying. "Ivy. Ivy, I can't... I can't breathe." I didn't care where I was, I wailed, and it felt as though there was a block of cement sitting in my chest and cutting off the air circulation. I slapped my chest continuously, resorting to fists when that did not seem to work. "Yvonne, breathe, please breathe. Can we get some water, please?" Ivy's urgent voice was distant even though she held me in her arms. I don't remember when we left the lodge or how we got to the car, I only came back to life when I realised that we were going back home. "No, where are we going? Ivy, we have to turn back around, I have to find them." Her boyfriend did not stop. "No, Yvonne. You've had a long day, you need to rest. You can take care of the rest tomorrow," Ivy said. "Besides, we left Angel with mama, you know how she is, she hasn't stopped calling." I had no energy to argue. S

09 // The Taste of Betrayal
It felt like deja vu when I opened my eyes, my head pounding from all the thoughts of that night. It was as if someone had opened the kraal and invited the bulls to stomp in my head. I heard voices speaking harshly, and I remembered where I was. I was in Silas' bedroom, in his bed. "I don't understand why you won't allow me to save her, she could be dying." "Cas, she just fainted." "She looks so pale, I can help her." "Or kill her!" Esra grounded. Anger bubbled in my chest, and I wished I could leave without them seeing me. I sat up, feeling slightly dizzy. I waited for the fuzziness to dissipate, and then got off the bed and put my shoes on. "She's awake." I heard Silas say. The door opened and they both walked in. "You are finally awake," Esra said with a wavering smile. "As you can see. I found what I came looking for, and now I'm going home." "Yvonne, can we talk about this? It is not what you

10 // Wedding Blues
Apparently, seeing the bride before the wedding is a bad omen, could the same be said about calling the bride? I just got off the phone with Gift a minute ago, just checking in before the wedding, which was in less than two hours, by the way. A few nights ago, I got to see how desperate Gift Ramodisa was to get married, and in the next few days, I witnessed him become more excited than I was for the wedding, he literally became a groomdzilla in a snap of the finger. He wanted to make sure everything was perfect and paid for, from the wedding dress, to the reception venue, decorations and catering; he even wanted to make a last minute change to the venue, wanting to book some fancy place instead of having the wedding in the church. If that hadn't offendedc his parents, I would probably be getting married at some fancy garden or expensive hotel in town. I once heard this saying when I was younger, that when wedding bells go off, the chickens come home to roast. Y
