“It’s not like that. You need the blood of a male vampire. That’s all.” “That’s all,” she repeated in a dead tone. “We don’t prey on humans. That’s an old wives’ tale.” “You’ve never taken a…human?” “Not to drink from them,” he hedged. “There are some vampires who do, but the strength doesn’t last long. To thrive, we need to feed off our own race.” “You make it all sound so normal.” “It is.” She fell silent.

When it’s time.” She let out a strangled sound, like she’d wanted to cry out, but her gag reflex had kicked in. “Beth, I know this is hard—” “You do not.”

God, he’d let down so many people over the course of his life. He didn’t want to add her to the list. And she deserved a prince for her first.

Lol

“Yo, cop. We’re heading for Screamer’s. You wanna come?” Butch looked up at the doorway. Vishous was in the hall with Rhage and Phury behind him. The vampires had expectant looks on their faces, like they honestly wanted to hang with him.

Butch found himself grinning like the new kid who didn’t have to sit alone at lunch after all.
