DAWN POV.I'd welcome the cold feeling of both pain and pleasure as he gulped down my blood, and every euphoric feeling he felt overwhelmed me until it felt as if my heart was going to stop and for a second it did, or maybe it was more because I found myself floating through an endless spaceI saw and heard nothing. There was only thick darkness, and I felt cold, too cold. Voices seemed to reach me from a faraway place. I could tell that a war raged on and that the room was filled with supernatural beings trying to kill each other, but the pain of a particular person seemed to rend through my heart each time his voice reached my ear. My Mate. Seth. "You do not get to touch her" he roared, and I could feel him punching the various beings in the room as they rushed at him."You are not strong enough to stop me. I am the most powerful sorcerer, and I am going to finish this sacrifice even if I have to use your dead heart and hers." Masika screamed and a blast of dark energy was sent h
Masika blinked her eyes open as she waited, and felt nothing on her skin. Seth stood in front of her, his hand mere inches from her exposed throat. Masika dropped her hand, and stared at him, waiting for him to cut her down. "You will not be performing your stupid sacrifice tonight Masika, and look at that," he said pointing at the little hole in the walls. "The sun's already rising, and the little portal that would have provided you with your indestructible armies closed up," he told her, pointing to the charred circle where the two crosses stood.Masika looked at it, then at the red lights slipping through the holes in the wall. It was all over. Even if she wanted to perform the sacrifice it would take another century before she could attempt opening another gate to the underworld, and during that time, Seth would have gotten stronger and his Mate would no longer be a fledgling. It was all for nothing, but she wasn't going to accept defeat. She wasn't going to go down alone after e
Epilogue. Getting back home took three whole days, but Dawn enjoyed every bit of it as she learned more about the extent of her powers. Seth taught her how to haunt, and after their hunting session, they explored and strengthened their mate bond until it felt as if their heart beat as one.Dawn could hear all of Seth's thoughts after she drank from him twice during their journey back home. She tried to keep it from him, but he soon figured it out when she kept laughing and blushing around him even when he was quiet. His thoughts made her feel good because they showed how whipped he was for her since he couldn't stop thinking about her. It was as if he totally changed from the brooding chaotic vampire to a lovable cuddly one with a dazzling smile that made her heart skip thousands of beats anytime he directed it at her.Seth pulled closer to her as they finally stepped foot into Syracuse."I'm thirsty" he whispered and Dawn looked at him incredulously."Are you never not thirsty"."Y

The distance Masika kept troubled him. Even as a monster_ he considered himself so he didn't think that he had changed much, he still felt the same way he did for her before he was turned into a cursed son of the night, so he didn't understand why her eyes held so much fear. Her dark blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight, her fiery black hair sweeping over her face due to the windy weather. He'd always been
The Present.DAWN ATKINS POV. Stepping into the warm cozy restaurant, I was surprised to see that some of the workers were already busy at work. On normal days, I was always the first to arrive but I guess I'd overslept today, which was all due to my nightmare's return. I hadn't been able to get a wink of sleep through the night, but only got a few shut eyes which lasted all through my alarm noises.The guys gave me the most dazzling smile before the leering, seductive glances kicked in. It was going to be another painstaking day of saying no to numerous romantic proposals. It made me sick, but I'd always had to deal with it all my life, so it was nothing new. Avoiding their gazes, I walked toward the counter and threw on my apron. The attention I got every time I walked into a room didn't bother me as much as it did before.From a young age, I'd always been different. I was the beautiful girl with an innocent soulful face. A face that made people either love me or want to destroy
SETH OSIRIS POVThe smell of warm blood permeated the air as I stepped into the dimly lighted pub. I got a kick out of the lighting and the warm cozy feel of the room as I scanned the whole length and breadth of it.I preferred to hunt when it was dark but today I was feeling too thirsty to wait for the night. It was still early in the morning and the sun had not yet risen. The scent of blood had led me here and I wasn't going to leave until I satisfied my cravings. It would have been spectacular if it was darker, or deeper in the woods where no eyes could see. I choose the night to hunt for my prey and it was all because I loved the way the breeze blew over me and my victim, it fed my sadistic nature when they struggled, thinking that they could ever get away. I've killed a few in the heat of the moment but I've learned to be more controlled as I aged.Right now my gaze was focused on a guy seated at the end of the booth quietly drinking. He was the one giving off the scent. He had
DAWN ATKINS POVI looked up only to freeze as I came face to face with angry grey eyes staring at me. The longer I stared, the more I was convinced that there was a haze of red clouding over them. They were unique. Scratch that, he looked freeking unreal. No wonder everyone went so quiet all of a sudden. He was human tho. A very hot gorgeous package of sin. His jaw was sharp, and he had an athletic build. Not too buff to freak me out, and not too lean to appear thin. He looked strong, powerful even. Everything about him screamed power and dominance. He had dark blue hair and his lips were red in contrast to his flawless pale skin. He was tall too and for the first time, I wanted nothing more than to pull him down towards me and get drunk on his lip.He looked perfect and graceful but he was still glaring at me and the anger radiating in his grey eyes felt like it was seeping through my skin. I was not sure if I had finally gone crazy but I swore his eyes kept flickering from light gr
Dawn opened her eyes slowly and blinked to see more clearly in the darkroom. She felt like a train had run her over. She couldn't move her hand or any part of her body and when she tried to turn her head, it was followed by a banging headache.The nightmare last night had felt real and horrible. Those were the only thought In her head, that was until she heard voices booming off the walls."You almost killed her!" A voice roared sending goosebumps up her arms."Well, I was carried away. You know how the holy blood feels like" he says indifferently like the other person was overreacting for no reason."I don't Seth and if she had died, how would you survive free of agony? You need her blood or you'd go crazy with pain!" The hard voice thundered again, but beneath the anger, Dawn could feel the concern lazed in them."The house is starting to feel suffocating brother. She has so little blood running through her veins and yet this whole place reeks of it. My control is slipping" a girl
