The Black Rose
Karpov Kinrade
A hint of your scent carries on the wind. Strawberries and lilac. An intoxicating blend that I close my eyes to savor. I twist the onyx ring on my right hand. I could claim to be under your spell, but it would be a lie.
I’m protected from your magic. But apparently, not from your inherent charm. Still, I mustn’t let that distract me from what I need from you.
You took something from my coven’s former leader, and now the vampires under my care are dying because of it.
You have escaped capture thus far, but your time is running out.
I now know where you will be for an entire evening without the ability to disappear like the dark tendril of smoke you are. It might be the only chance I have.
On the night of the Ball, I will hunt you. I will find you. And I will take back what is mine.
And not even your charm will stop me.
The Black Rose was originally published in The Monster Ball: Year 2 Anthology, but now contains nearly 2,000 words of bonus content.
