It's hard for me to see faces, sometimes. 
I mean, it's difficult to see someone's face when it's obscured beneath a colorful fog of all the things they don't want you to see. The fog is emotion, aura, soul essence- I don't know...something like that. The colors tell you things, though...things the person doesn't think you know. It's only polite, then, to focus instead on what they know you can see...Their face.

The face tells you more than that colorful fog anyway. Do you know why? 
Well, it's because the face, - the wrinkles under their eyes and the dirt smudged along their chin- they tell you all the tiny things. The tiny things tell an honest story.

So one day I enchanted a pair of glasses. They take away the smoke and I can see things as they are. I could see her face.

She smiled and rolled her eyes. That told me more than plumes of pink and purple ever could have.

I'm a vampire hunter. Nothing is more important than keeping humans safe from the things that haunt their nightmares. It's what I was born to do. So when I hear that a body has turned up that looks a lot like bodies from a previous hunt, I fly to investigate. There's just two problems. One is that I killed the vampire responsible for those deaths. The second? The new body turned up in the home country of the one man who can ignite my temper faster than anyone else. Just when I think it couldn't get any worse, a simple touch has my demon claiming that he is my mate. Things just got a whole lot more complicated. Tall, curvy, brunette with hazel eyes that change from almost totally green to deep brown depending on her mood, she is the one woman that has me wanting to shake her one moment and kiss her senseless the next. She's the one woman I can never have, and the only one I truly want. But when a body turns up that looks like the bodies from a case of hers, I have no choice but to call her in to help find the killer. On top of that, the touch of her hand on my arm is enough for my demon to start claiming her as my mate. Then as if things weren't already complicated enough, I find out that I have a daughter when her mother is killed and the child's rescuers find me. So now I have to get to know my daughter, convince my mate to accept me, and deal with a demon that has a one track mind about protecting its mate, even though she can look after herself way better than I can. All while tracking down a vampire that thinks I killed her sister and is out for revenge. Piece of cake. Right?

My father and the guy who had just bought me, shook hands, finalizing the arrangement, as they stood on our front porch... or could you even call it that? The rain came down making it hard to see. Yes, breathing. Everyone knows how to do it, but it's normal for someone to forget how to, right? Right now, I felt as if my lungs had been ripped from my chest... or was that just my heart? My buyer ran from the porch, covering his head with his jacket. He stepped into his Mustang, and pulled it into reverse.

One thinks that it's unfair for a human to have to live with a beast, while to the other; these creatures exist only in stories. One can choose to break the mate bond, but the consequence to it involves death of one, or both the beings. Things get out of hand when our wolf learns that all the attempts to stay away from the human so as not to evoke feelings have failed miserably and now the feeling of love is a mutual one. What will be of them? Mates for name sake? Or will they actually mate? Hop in to know more! And don't forget to hit the orange star below each chapter. Read, comment, vote and share. Thank you!
