The Vengeful Vampire (Creature Feature, #2)

"I am going to ask a question…and I don't want anyone to panic." A beat as they all waited for him to speak again. "Where is the corpse?" Quincy moved his flashlight to shine down into the coffin. And sure enough… It was empty. The corpse was gone.

"I awaken from my nightmare to find you here. I almost did not recognize you, my Mina." Hands rested on her shoulders.

"You are the moon in my night sky." His words were nearly a whisper, but she felt them rumble through her like thunder. "Run from me all you wish. I am where you belong. It seems time herself knew what you could not accept, my Mina. She has brought you back to me at last."

"Please sit with me."

That had to be hysterical. Maybe he would fly into walls as a little drunk bat. "I…" He seemed confused as to what to do with her thought and shook his head. "Perhaps another time."

"You are mine," he whispered, his breath now warm. The sound of his heartbeat was deafening to him. But it was a beautiful tempo for their new dance. "Now and forever. In this life and the next. I will never stop hunting you, no matter how far you may run."

“I—um.” It was Renny. “Any—any mortal?” He cleared his throat. Mina fought the urge to slap her hand over her face. Or laugh. She had the urge to do both. But she still had a gun pointed at her own head. Vincent, however, chuckled. With a disbelieving shake of his head, he gestured at Renny while still speaking to the three ladies. “Will he suffice, sisters? I promised him immortality at the end of this road. He is not to be killed.”
