Vampire obsession by ChristinaClarke082

Ruby thought her biggest problem was keeping up with college assignments and dealing with her best friend's sudden disappearance. But when Jack-the cocky, infuriatingly handsome troublemaker-enters her life in the most intimate way possible, everything changes. Jack never wanted a mate. He never wanted the weakness that came with it. But from the moment he laid eyes on Ruby, resisting her became impossible. He tried to stay away, to ignore the obsession clawing at him, but the bond wouldn't let him. She was his, whether she wanted to be or not. Then he showed up. Ruby's past comes crashing back when her abusive ex appears on campus, dredging up nightmares she thought she had escaped. Jack should let her handle it. He should let her fight her own battles. But he can't. Because the bond is driving him mad, and the thought of another man touching what's his pushes him to do the unthinkable. Now, with blood on his hands and danger closing in, Ruby has no choice but to face the truth-Jack isn't just her biggest temptation. He might be her only chance at survival.
