Ouch! My Vampire Doms Keep Biting Me (My Vampire Doms #1)

by Calista Jayne

I slam down the gas pedal again. “Come on, baby,” I mutter, downshifting without slowing to gain more power and speed. She gets me through. The old girl gets me through. My mom would be so proud and happy. Sorrow rips through my chest. I’m going to have to abandon the car. It’s too unique and noticeable, and Dale’s going to be looking for me. And then a fresh wave of panic and anger and sorrow follows the first. My mom’s death…after seeing what Dale did to Marcus Patrick, after hearing him on the phone with the emergency line operator…my mom’s death comes back to me. I heard a similar conversation between Dale and family friends, ten years ago. …Heart failure, they say it must have been. She just collapsed in front of me. I’m so distraught, she was my world. He wasn’t distraught. It wasn’t heart failure. It’s happening again, this time with Marcus Patrick. Dale, my stepfather, killed my mom. I blaze down the street, tears streaming from my cheeks. I don’t even know what’s causing the tears. Everything, I guess. There’s no time to analyze my emotions. I just know I need to get out of here and find somewhere to stay. Flashing red and white lights fill the gloom ahead, and seconds later, I have to pull over as an ambulance shrieks past. I check my rearview. Nobody is behind or chasing me. But give it time. Dale works within a network of very powerful men. He’s gotten away with murder before, and he’ll do everything in his power to do it again.
