"Please call me Shade. My name is Shade," he quickly added.
"Alright, Shade," I replied. Then, I quickly looked down at my feet. I realize how vulnerable I was now. Alone in a room with a vampire with no weapon and of course in a dress. He made me feel like weak and quickly put shivers through me again. Then, I heard him clearing his throat.
"Kylee, you must never take eye contact off from me, so here comes your first punishment," Shade says in a dark tone.
I quickly looked up to find him, but Shade was already holding me tightly in front of him. I felt his hot breath at my neck as I struggled. I quickly panicked and was about to scream for help, but before I could think, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. Fire was burning me and I let out a blood curling scream. I couldn't get out of his hold, for he was way too strong for me. While he was feeding off me, I felt something powerful coming throughout me something good. I then thought of what it could be. Pleasure.
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.
