Zelda Stacy gets sucked into a life she was born for, a life she has no choice but to fight in. Defiant exterior and creamy interior. Zelda was immediately taken out of her typical life and tossed into a world called Night. There there aren't any rules except "don't fuck up". Unfortunately for Zelda, she goes against the grain for a living. In this world there are seven species: Humans, Vampires, Demons, Werewolves, Shifters, Angels, and Witches/Warlocks. No rules? Oh, this is paradise. "Not really sure if you're really a bad girl or not," he taunted with a small grin. "You don't want to know if I'm a bad girl." she snickered leaning into his face, she inhaled his minty scent and felt his body temperature spike. "Bad girls don't give in to idiots like you." his lips twitched. She got up and walked away. Lynn came up to her with a raised brow. "You've got all the inhuman boys after you," she said shaking her head. "This will be interesting." "They can chase all they like, I don't believe in this bullshit." Lynn only laughed. "Boy, oh, boy you are in for a rude awakening. One of these days you're gonna be all pinned against a wall by one of these beasts holding on to your dear soul as they suck the life from your body in all sorts of ways. They're quite the creative ones." "I'd kill to see them try," she said with daring eyes. Lynn snickered. "Oh, you'll see them try, girl."
