❝like a moth to a flame, she always returns to me❞
Dakota Elkins is no stranger to the supernatural with her being a telepath and vampires out of the coffin, but when one winds his way into her cousins...

EVEN IF THE SILVER AGAINST HER SKIN DIDN'T BURN, SHE STILL PRETENDED THAT IT HURT. The four of them were cramped in a van, five guards on their side as they drove to god knows where. The scent of burned skin was strong as the three vampires struggled against their restraints, Eric getting the butt of a weapon slammed into his gut.
Dakota inched forwards but at the vikings glare she halted, teeth clenched together in anger.
They had been driving for what felt like at least three hours but she wasn't sure, there were no windows in the van and she had no idea what time it was or where they were. The van came to a screeching halt and Dakota pressed herself against the seat so she wouldn't fall. The man beside her got to his feet and opened the doors, revealing nothing but dark sky beyond.
Nora was the first vampire to be escorted out, then Bill and after him was Eric, who tugged himself from their grip with a roll of his eyes. Dakota was last, snarling at the man who grabbed onto her arm to help her from the van.
"Where the fuck are we?" she demanded, as the five guards led them into what seemed to be an abandoned building.
"Keep walking," the guard commanded and pushed her to toward the rest of them.
It looked as if there hadn't been anyone alive there for centuries but there were more guards stationed around the large room, ceilings high and windows broken. It was cold and smelt like mould, very much a place where you'd expect to be murdered.
Heels clicked on the cement floor and in stalked a woman, dark hair flowing behind her with a plum coloured dress hugging her curves. She smiled at the small group and said, "Darling,"
Nora took a few steps towards her, "Salome, listen to me. They're more valuable to us alive. I never had any intention of betraying you."
"Shh, fairytales are for children" she whispered, holding a finger to her lips before she looked around the vampire and smiled at Bill. "Mr. Compton, Welcome."
"And you are?" he raised a brow, unimpressed.
The vampire ignored him and peered up at Eric, assessing him as she looked at him up and down. "Mr. northman, you're much taller than I had expected you to be."
"I get that a lot."
"Ah, life is full of surprises." she muttered before she turned her dark gaze on Dakota, raising a brow in amusement. "And you? You've brought a human to us." Vampires weren't able to smell it on her due to her fae heritage and she clenched her jaw. "A snack, perhaps? Or is this Mr. Northman's plaything?"
"None of your fucking business." said Dakota, tugging on her restraints.
Eric snapped his head toward her in warning but she ignored him, offering the vampire a humourless smile.
