Red Haze

Prologue

Prologue

The fiery huntress, Amelia finds her fate entangled with a vampire lord, Lucian when she sets out to kill him. Strangely, she was attracted in so many ways to him instead of feeling her usual hatred of vampires. Oh, she was more than attracted.

What Amelia didn't know Lucian knew. He knew from the very beginning that she was rightfully his. His mate. But, he kept her in the dark, trying to toy and tease her as she was forced to be his bodyguard after her failed assassination. Until she comes of age.

SNIPPET

All she could ever think of was that his hands were not as cold as she expected. His skin was not pale as the other undead that she slew. As matter of fact, all she could ever think of was that she wanted to run her fingers through his hair and his well-built chest. The feeling in the pit of her stomach intensified.

" What? Charmed already de.., " his words died out when he finally set his eyes on hers. His eyes flashed with recognition. His thick eyebrows furrowed for a moment.

" Charmed? Charmed, " His words finally woke her from her own thoughts.

" Talking bout yourself, big boy? " she smirked.

His confusion was immediately replaced with a devilish smile. " I would watch my mouth if I'm you, "

" I'm not the one with the fangs, " her voice came out as a whisper. A seduction. It was certainly not what she intended to do, yet somehow she just couldn't help it.

" Indeed... " his voice dropped yet another octave, becoming even huskier. He stepped closer, trapping her between a concrete wall and his concrete muscle. His fangs extended, teasing her neck without actually spilling any of her blood. " Just a taste.. just a taste, " His hands were already wrapped around her waist.

Her breath hitched as her heart pounded against her rib cage. Her fingers were already on his chest, toying with his shirts button.

" Your heart is beating quite fast. Don't you think so, signore? " His words were thick with an Italian accent.

" The answer you are looking for is suffocation, signora, "

" You're probably the only hunter stupid enough to talk and expose your own location. Have you forgotten about vampire sensitive hearing, signore? , " he chuckled.

Stupid. He did not just call HER stupid. She graduated top of her class from her academy. She had so many recommendations that she actually lost count of them. And, she did the best next thing. Punching him.
