Chapter 14

Mora~

Despite everything that was going on around me, despite what I’d been going through since Kalon had kidnapped me, my mind was still in denial because the alternative was still…inconceivable.

I also knew that vampires could love because I still felt love for my parents and Zaire. I still felt something whenever I thought about them. I still felt concerned for them. I still felt love for them. I still felt attached to them, and I didn’t understand it. Vampires were supposed to be dead and without feeling. All the original tales of vampires painted them as soulless creatures, unable to feel emotion. They were the undead, immortals that no longer possessed human understanding.

However, that wasn’t true.

None of it had ever been true.

Plus, there was also the way that Kalon’s hand felt against my neck. I felt the heat from his hand all the way to my toes. His nearness felt…igniting. My need for him felt unlike anything that I’d ever felt for any man before him, and even though I knew it was because of that damn prophecy, the need was still there. I could still feel the pounding in my chest when Brander had mentioned that Kalon could still be killed and how my fangs had been quick to come out.

I closed my eyes when I thought about what killing myself would do to Kalon. If I felt that volatile at the simple mention of someone killing him, he was right to want to follow me in death if I really ever did kill myself. I thought about how he was just as much of a victim of the prophecy as I was.

When I opened my eyes, he was looking down at me, his grey eyes trying to see inside my mind. “Talk to me, baby,” he said, and I could feel my body clench from the way that I was craving him. “Tell me what’s going on in that beautiful head of yours.”

“I want to talk to my parents,” I told him. “I want to talk to Zaire.”

“Mora-”

“If you want me to believe that vampires can love, then I need to talk to the only three people in the world that I do love,” I said, and I could see his eyes flare in irritation at knowing that I didn’t love him. Still, how could he expect me to love him when I didn’t even know him?

His hand dropped from my neck before stepping back. “Since there’s only a couple of hours before the sun comes up, I think I’ll go eat,” he stated simply. “When I get back, I’ll go lay down, and you can call your family.”

“What do you mean?” I asked, panicked at him leaving. “You already fed, didn’t you? Earlier, with me?”

“I didn’t feed, Mora,” he replied evenly. “It was bloodlust. It wasn’t nearly enough to sustain me.”

He was making up excuses to leave.

“So…you’re just going to go out and kill someone? Snatch them off the street because you’re not up to dealing
