121 years without hope has a soul become silent. Salem, Massachusetts. The home of magic. The hell of the damned. The place where I rest until the end of time. There is only one way for me to wake from my coma. My beloved must find me and feed me her blood before I turn to ash. It’s a rarity for a vampire to meet his blood mate. I knew when the coma took me, I’d die. In the dark. Alone. Until Maven Wildes buys my estate. Her presence at the house wakes my spirit. But not my mind. I want her out of my home more than I want to breathe fresh air. Unfortunately, the infuriating beautiful woman refuses to leave. Yet… meeting me revives a lost magic in her veins. And now breathing her in is all I want. Our love creates power a warlock craves. He’ll spill blood to have Maven, but I’ll drink his until his heart stops. I will always protect my beloved with my entire being. Even if it means spending my days in eternal night.

I’m a monster DNA experiment and she’s everything my beasts want. I escape the hell that tortured me for months. I’m turned into something so dangerous and brutal; I don’t recognize myself. And when I feel a pull in my chest, I follow it not understanding why. I see her and possession takes over. Her beauty is addiction. And her smell? God…her scent….mmm… It drives me insane. A thing like me doesn’t stand a chance with a woman like her. I am obsessed. I can’t stay away. I stalk her. I kill for her. I take her. I mark my territory. I protect her from everyone and everything. Except me. She’s mine. Whether she likes it or not. And all my beasts agree.

I’m a monster DNA experiment and my beasts salivate at the thought of her. In my human life, I was a hardworking blue-collar man.And now I’m a monster.My anger is tenfold in this form.Yet I find a part of me that’s fragile and needs protecting. Every day, I turn to stone on her property to watch over her.At night, I let myself into her home.I find it impossible to stop myself.These things inside me roar knowing this woman is mine.I won’t let her be taken from me.Not when she’s all I have left.I watch. I stalk.I feast. I prey.I devour her when she has no idea.The invisibility of my new body works to my advantage.Until I see her scars.The love I pour into her is nothing compared to the hate I’ll give to him.She. Is. Mine.And all my beasts agree.
