Kai craned her neck, checking out the unique design that had bloomed where he’d bitten her. Her creamy virgin skin now bore her Alpha’s mark. The burgeoning connection was undeniable. Her beast had submitted and it was true, she’d heard his voice inside her head.

As she traced the fine line, astonishment coiled in her chest; she was still unable to fully accept the Alpha was her mate. Magick was a tricky thing. Perhaps she’d absorbed more of his energy than she’d thought. Her knowledge of her beast had been limited to the whispers of Elders and her mother’s lost notebook. Despite her skepticism, Kai’s lips curled in a hopeful smile.

She glanced to the mirror, noting the gold flecks in her eyes. Something was changing inside her; a restless hum danced over her skin. Last night, she’d almost killed a vampire. While Jonathon may have deserved her wrath, she’d been out of control. Only the Alpha had been able to dominate her beast. While she’d always known her ability to absorb energy, draining a creature to the point of exhaustion, never in her life had she been without discipline.

My master. The term had both angered and terrified her when she’d first heard Quintus say it. But after last night, an odd sense of security had blanketed her. For the first time in her life, she wasn’t alone. The Alpha never hesitated, saving her from herself. Soon, she’d morph like a caterpillar. Far from a harmless but gorgeous winged butterfly, her beast would demand blood. Whatever dangerous creature lurked inside, she took solace in knowing Jake could command it.

A noisy clatter filtered up through the floor, and her stomach growled. Kai snatched a fluffy robe off of a hook on the bathroom door, donned it and set off to find her Alpha.

True to Quintus’ enigmatic nature, his home reflected his dark rich style. The hallway’s cream-colored walls contrasted with its mahogany crown molding. An enormous antique bronze crucifix hung on the wall at the top of the landing. Kai had heard that religious artifacts had no influence on vampires, yet this relic appeared prominent, causing her to wonder what he’d done as a human.

As she approached the stairs, she heard her name spoken in the distance. Her beast stirred, anticipating the presence of its master. Kai took a deep breath, attempting to calm it. She grew nervous about seeing Jake after he’d marked her. Words dissipated into whispers and her stomach clenched as she became aware they were talking about her. Tiptoeing down each plank, she bravely put one foot in front of another.

By the time she reached the foyer, her heart pounded in her chest. Would Jake reject her? Had he changed his mind? He’d promised he’d help her find the Kris and her sister. She couldn’t do it alone.

Kai. She heard her name as if the Alpha had been standing next to her. Startled, she pressed her palm to the wall, regaining her balance. She closed her eyes, searching for her own beast but a black wolf stared back at her instead.
