Chapter Twenty-Seven

He watched with cunning eyes as the moon was just beginning to peek over the edge of the trees. Lying on the cushioned forest floor, his thoughts of Jena and the tantalizing pleasure they shared only moments ago consumed him down to his core. She was so naive, so foolish, so careless. There was no turning back now. He sealed her fate with a simple kiss. The blood kiss of eternal life. Finally, the curse was set into motion, and Jena was forever his.

As he inhaled a deep breath, the scent of pine needles and distinctive green things invaded his senses. He closed his eyes, and for a second, he thought he heard voices. His lids flipped open and a sinister smile came over his face. He felt his skin crawling with a tingling sensation. Then the hunger in him instantaneously came to life, releasing the monster within. The transformation rapidly took over. His clothes ripped apart as his chest expanded, and his limbs began to stretch and lengthen. Thick, black fur sprouted from his pores, spreading like wildfire. When he rose to his feet, he stripped the remains of his shirt away and brushed off the torn fragments of his pants. The transition had taken full possession of him, bringing with it the inevitable doom. Nothing in his path would survive.

He flexed his powerful thighs and perked his lupine ears to listen more carefully. The voices grew louder now, the chorus rising and falling as they moved closer to him.

Using his razor-sharp claws, he climbed a large oak with a long leap and moved as fast as he could to the top. As he peered down from above, he caught a strong scent, something flowery that mingled with the smell of a man’s cologne.

The pungent odor of humans quickly ignited his hunger. Every muscle in his body wanted to leap, to spring out and devour them instantly. Instead of killing them outright, he watched and listened to the couple below, who spoke in low voices. They were seemingly oblivious of his presence as he waited for the right moment to attack and end their worthless lives.

“This looks like a good spot,” Chad said, spreading a blanket over the ground. “There’s not a single person for several miles.” He turned to look at the wide stretch of nothing but a vastness of trees, plants, and a grassy meadow sprinkled with bright, colorful wildflowers. Although the darkness surrounded them, the star-filled sky lit up the woodland like a canopy of sparkling lights. The peaceful quiet in the urban forest of the Presidio National Park compared to the sounds of the city made him feel as though they had magically discovered their own private world.

“I hope you brought something to cover up with,” Debi said as she began to undo the buttons on her blouse. “It’s a little chilly.”

“Don’t worry, babe.” He dropped his jeans to his ankles and batted his brows. “I’ve got something that’ll keep you warm.”

Debi arched an eyebrow as she caught sight of his enormous erection hidden behind his tight-fitted briefs.
