KATIEI thanked my stars that I went on this lunch date. I had been job hunting for more than three weeks since I moved here and hadn't found a single job opening. When I met Damien at the mall, I was starting to worry cause I had already dug deep into my savings what with the moving and renting a n
My head hurt. It took a while for me to reconcile the Damien I knew in his casual wear and down-to-earth nature with this Damien, who wore expensive suit and watches and cologne.He stood up and walked over to me. "Please have a seat. You look like you're about to faint."I let him lead me to the ch
KATIEAfter the information that was revealed to me about my status as a wolf, I and Damien became a lot closer. We were no longer acting like bosses and assistants but instead, we were closer friends now. He always kept me informed of what was going on as regards to finding the witch that could rem

DOMINICIf I could have hangovers, I’d have had a massive one when I woke up from sleep. My head was fuzzy and I couldn’t see well for a second. Soon after, everything got into focus and I looked around me. I wasn’t even on my bed. I lay slouched on my couch still in my now dirty and rumpled work cl

KATIE'S POV I knew that it would all turn chaotic real fast, but I still wasn't prepared for the level of chaos and violence that had broken out in such a short amount of time. Once Xander had unleashed his vampire warriors on the people Dominic, who had been anticipating such a move, rallied his o
KATIEThe reunion between me and Dominic, Dustin and Damien was nothing short of emotional. I had not seen them in months by now, and it was all so exciting seeing them and touching them . Especially as there were times where I had feared that I would never see them again. They had missed me as much

KATIE'S POVThe vampire world was becoming more and more familiar to me as the weeks crawled by. That was not a statement that I ever in my dreams imagined that I would even be making. Before all of this, the vampire world had seemed to me like nothing but a mere, distant thought. Now, I was entrenc
