DOMINICI carried Katie in my arms as she nearly drowsed away. I carried her to the room we used to share because I wanted to look after her. Even though, Katie herself was not in a state that I liked. She was drunk. Completely, boozed out of her face drunk. So drunk that she kept thinking that thi
KATIEDominic was driving at such a speed that I was frankly a bit scared of being in the car with him. I pressed myself to the back of my seat as the city zoomed by. Wind from the open window blew into my face at high speed, tangling my hair. Dominic’s hands were tight around the steering wheel and
“Why didn’t you tell me about Nana’s illness?” I asked.He stopped tapping his feet and looked at me. “We weren’t exactly on speaking terms, were we?”“I know we weren’t, but still. I love Nana to death and you know that. You should have known that I would want to know about this.”“Can we not do th
KATIEAs I bid Nana farewell, I struggled to contain the storm within my throat from coming out. I would not sob. Nana wanted me to be happy and that was what I would do. I would not let her down this time. But once I was out of the hospital room and Dominic looked at me, his eyes reddish with unsh
KATIEI still felt embarrassed over what had happened at the hospital. I’d damn near had a mental breakdown, in the full view of the public. I winced as I recalled me screaming and beating at Dominic’s chest like a troubled child throwing a tantrum everywhere.I also thought about Nana. I had barely
KATIEI couldn’t have been more grateful for Rachel coming over to my place and comforting me. We had talked about what was on my mind and so many other things before we slept off. Now, as I awoke, I felt a lot lighter and a lot less depressed. I wasn’t happy or normal or anything like that, but I k
I made sure to push Vila deeper into the recesses of our shared mind, so that she wouldn’t do anything irrational. I could feel her protest, but there was nothing she could do about it. I was the owner of this body, not her.Back to Damien. “I’m so sorry, Damien. I just remembered that I had a call
KATIEKATIE’S POVThree days had passed since the last incident with Damien. Today was the day that the Hillson family dinner was being held and to say that I was completely nervous was putting it lightly. I was going to be in the Hillson manor for the first time and I would get to meet all of them

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
I collapsed to the ground, clutching my throat and gulping and coughing till it hurt. "That is the only warning I'm going to give you," Xander said from somewhere above me. "I mean the nerve of you, to think you could try to change me. If you even think of trying to manipulate me again, this will
KATIE'S POVThe words I had screamed out rang in the air, almost seeming to echo. Xander stopped in his tracks immediately, stunned by what I had said. "W-what…what did you just say?" he asked, his hand tightening on my wrist even as he was no longer forcefully groping and undressing me."I did. I-
Once I had the letter safely in my clothes, I patted her in consolation. "Don't worry ma'am. I'll find a way."And then I left.Power affects everyone, even the kindest and humblest of men. Makes them do things they usually wouldn't, hurt people, destroy things. Power in the hands of Xander Thane wa

The way he said human, with so much disgust and loathing in his tone, made me blush."There's nothing you can do about him. Don't worry about it. This is his time to shine, and soon someone else is going to take his place. It always happens."The first voice became hushed. "Now, don't ask me how I k
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
