The Vampire's Hunter

"Don't make me shoot you." Orion said, his gun drawn.

We both knew it wouldn't kill me. It'd just be a small pain in my ass. Unlike Orion himself.

I smiled at him, fluttering my eyelashes. "Oh no, woe is me! I've made you mad, haven't I? Was drinking his blood really that bad? It was barely a drop, Ry."

Orion growled, his blue eyes locking with mine. "Don't call me that."

I stepped closer, and I could tell he tensed at our proximity. I trailed a finger down his hard chest, then bunched his shirt up in my hand and pulled him to me.

"Why? Does it bother you?" I whispered, our lips almost touching.

Orion drew in a breath, looking me straight in the eyes. "It does. And so does this. So move before I shoot you."

I curled my lip at him in amusement. "My pleasure."

Juno Hayes is a vampire. And she's just turned. Oh, don't get me wrong. She isn't suddenly a pale, poreless beauty queen. Her complexion is the same as it's been the past 16 years; clear and olive. And she's just arrived in North Dakota's Champion Glade High School.

Orion Waters is a hunter. One of the youngest and strongest. One who harbours a strong hatred for vampires ever since his sixth birthday. And he's just arrived in North Dakota's Champion Glade High School. As Juno's observer.

But when a mysterious shadow has taken Juno's one weakness and fled, it is Orion's responsibility as her observer to go with her to retrieve the weapon.

And when the thief seems to be closer than they expected, Orion finds himself questioning whether his growing attraction to Juno is what makes him want to be around her more and more.

That, or the fact that if he gained possession of the stolen weapon, it would give him all he needs to kill her.
