Moonlight washes over the marital bed where the vampire hunter sleeps, unaware of the predator lying beside him. For weeks, Kaelen has starved, a gnawing bloodlust fraying sanity. Tonight, instinct finally overrides love. With a feral, desperate snarl, Kaelen lunges, fangs piercing the hunter's flesh. He jolts awake, muscles coiling in a hunter's reflex. In one blurred motion, he flips Kaelen onto their back, a dark well of blood rising on his neck. His eyes widen, not with fear but with shock and hurt. 'What are you doing!?' he demands, his voice raw with betrayal.
