Bat POV

The great, black bat swoops in low over the mountain, following the rise and fall of the land. No owls have been sighted since the market opened, but he stays on high alert. Listening. Sensing. Watching for movement in the foliage below. The nocturnal creatures are slowly awakening. The forest smells clean and crisp after the overload of suburbia, which Connie calls home.

Connie.

We need a break.

The pain those words send through his system cause the bat to call out on the wind—one lone, piercing cry. He knew this day would come. It was a matter of when—not if. How could an aeronaught ever truly accept the ugly, dark creature he becomes every thirty-six hours? No control over what form he takes when the animal breaks out, and the curse controls his wants and desires shoving them aside. He’s a freak of nature forced to fight against the animal urges hidden within.

Blood bonds.

Duty.

Family.

What does it all mean if you can’t be the real you? Why honor bonds when his own kin consider his human side an indulgence and a disgrace to the blood in his veins?

Blood.

The life-force that drives the universe. The substance he longs for, but hates himself for wanting the very next moment. Connie witnessed the animal in him feed. He drank from her neighbor’s beloved pet. I am a monster.
