"Drink up my pet. There's a lot of work to be done." I smelt his blood boiling in his veins, I saw it moving through him, I felt his fear, I heard his mechanical heart. The animal in me had taken over and before I knew it I had drained this human of blood. The human side of me wanted to cry, but there wasn't tears it was acid dripping from my eyes. It burned my face, they were there, then gone. The marks were even gone. There was a mirror across the hall. I walked over and gasped looking at myself. "This isn't me." I reached my hand out and sure enough it was me. There I was looking back at myself, black tight leather pants, double belts, the blades wrapped around my right thigh, tight belly tank to show off my well defined abs I had worked so very hard for, long flowy beautiful brown hair, porcelain skin, light blue almost pale eyes, full lips now stained with blood, and thick heavy long black eyelashes. I have became the thing I hate most, the very thing I have spent my life hunting.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
