Read Born to Darkness Book 1 in the Immortal Destiny Series: Vampire Romance Paranormal for Free Online

again. In the meantime, she decided to find out everything she could about vampires. Nicole opened the computer’s browser and started searching for information on the undead.
    Most of what she found was a little silly, but she did find a couple of Internet sites that were downright chilling. People claiming to be vampires were actually placing ads for feeders. She wondered how many of them actually were the Immortal kind of vampires.
    After an hour of searching, she’d found nothing of significance. A lot of nonsense about garlic and burying the vampire victim face down, but not much that would help her get Ethan away from that Omar character.
    For a brief instant, Nicole had to wonder why she was even trying to do anything at all.
    A vampire was a vampire, right?
    But he was her friend. After all, he was trying to do something about it, and it wasn’t exactly his fault that he’d turned.
    No, that was Alec’s doing, but there again, he’d only been trying to save Ethan.
    She wondered why Alec had bothered to save Ethan in the first place. It just didn’t seem to fit with the typical vampire profile, especially with Alec.
    One particular site on the list of search results caught her attention. 
Vampires in the Light
    Nicole clicked on the link. When the page opened, she knew she’d found something of some significance. Unlike so many of the vampire sites, this one seemed to be someone’s story.
    Many years ago I was cursed, doomed to eternal darkness. It is a curse that is colder and lonelier than the grave could ever be. I believed that this would be my existence for all time, but then I found a place where the vampire can live in the light. It is not of this world, but at the same time, it is. I found it by accident, only to discover our kind is forbidden entrance to this place of light. This is what the vampire’s curse really is.
    This could not be a coincidence.
    Nicole looked around the site for contact information, but there was none. She had to locate this person - this vampire. She had to find out what he knew.
    Nicole decided it was time to call in a favor from one of Ethan’s buddies at the police department. They could easily trace the site to whoever had put it up - at least she hoped they could.
     
     
     

Chapter Four
     
    Nicole stared down at the address she’d scribbled in her notebook, and then back up at the sign in the window of the little building.
    Déjà vu Tattoo Body Art
    The address was in a seedy area - near the riverfront. When she’d first read the address, she’d been doubtful. Now Nicole was even more skeptical about the accuracy of the information she’d received from Ethan’s cop friend.
    She tried the door, but it was locked.
    Peering in the window, Nicole strained to see what was inside. It was too dark inside to make out much of anything.
    The sun was nearly down, but there was still some light. If this guy was one of them, it only made sense that he might not be out quite yet.
    One moment she was alone, and the next instant he was standing beside her.
    “Looking for something?” he asked.
    Nicole swallowed her fear. She was determined to confront this vampire about what he knew.
    He was scary - nothing like Alec or Victor. The vampire was completely bald, and covered with tattoos, strange - macabre images of women with blood flowing from their throats. Across his shoulder, was a large image of someone appearing to be half human and half beast.
    “Are you Dash?”
    His lips spread into a dark - foreboding smile. “Who wants to know?” he asked with a heavy British accent.
    Nicole decided to push forward, regardless of the consequences. “I know you are a vampire.”
    Growling, he drew back his lips in a snarl and flew at her.
    “I belong to Alec Norwood,” she gasped, saying the first thing that came to mind.
    He stopped, but his eyes were still glowing with deadly hunger. “You’re lying! You don’t smell like a feeder.”
    Nicole rushed to get her words out.
