Kaylee
I've been running, but not anymore. I have questions, and I'm coming for the truth, to know more about what I am and what it means.
He is more than a celebrity crush. He is my obsession. A vampire king hidden in plain sight. Not once had I considered that the object of my secret fantasies would just stroll into my real life and elicit such dark desires. How can I escape from someone who feels tethered to me, body, mind, and soul, making me question everything? He scares me but helps me to fight my fears; he is the epitome of danger but is my safe haven. One thing I am sure of is he will bring about my reckoning with my revival. He is a monster, but I want to make him mine, and I might just die trying.
Einar
I've spent most of my existence searching for meaning, conquering kingdoms, feeding and fighting, but never really feeling until something sparked to life inside of me almost twenty-three years ago.
I remember the first day I felt a pull to a place unknown. It was a foreign thing to feel anything other than hunger, unfamiliar and exciting.
When I followed it, I found myself drawn to the island of Jersey, and seven months later, I felt the first punch of air into lungs that hadn't breathed that way in over twelve hundred years.
I didn't know then that it was her who drew me here, that it was her first screaming lungful of air that gave me newfound breath, her heart that gave mine a beat, and her soul's entrance into our world, that sparked a flame in my own.
She might not yet know it, but she is fated to be mine, not only a part of the dark underworld from which she has been hidden but from those who believe that she might be the one destined to rule it all.
