Excerpt: Isabela paced in the small patch of moonlight on the street. The body had long since been removed. I wonder if maybe werewolves came by and took the body? She chided herself for getting distracted with ridiculous thoughts again. Just because vampires apparently exist, doesn’t mean everything else does too. She wondered if the steel gray eyes were near. She didn’t feel like anyone was watching her yet, but she hoped he would show up soon. She was getting cold and impatient, mad at herself for thinking this was such a brilliant idea. The street was pitch dark, there was only one street lamp and it was at the corner half a block away. It gave out no light whatsoever. Good street for a mugger, she thought, snickering. She watched her breath fog the air as she exhaled, tapping her feet and moving around, trying to keep warm. Suddenly, she felt a prickle all over her body. Something was out there, and getting closer. She marveled at the clarity with which she could feel that sort of thing. less

Excerpt: Questions kept bubbling up in her mind, and she sighed, knowing she had to go back inside and get the answers she needed. The door slid open behind her, and she could sense his presence standing behind her. “It’s so beautiful out here,” she said, looking back at the snowflakes falling in her palm. “Are you ready to talk?” “I think so.” Isabela turned and followed him back inside, brushing the snow out of her hair. She tossed her coat across the chair, and slipped off her boots. Constantin took her hand and led her to his study, where he had lit a roaring fire to keep her warm. He sat her down in a plush armchair, as he sat opposite, preparing his speech. She sat quietly, watching the emotions cross his face as he considered where to start. Looking down at her hands, she realized she was fidgeting with the hem of the robe. She glanced back into his eyes when he cleared his throat. “Forgive me, Isabela, if this gets confusing. I’ve gone through this routine enough times that I should know how to explain it to you, but each time I’m facing you again, I struggle to remember how to do this.” less
