chain. The two pieces looked like they would fit together like a puzzle if linked.
    â€œIt’s beautiful. Thank you.”
    â€œYou’re welcome.”
    â€œWhy did you bite me?”
    â€œI must admit that what I did to you was very selfish, and I’m not sure how you’re going to feel, but I want you to be mine for eternity. Can you handle that?”
    I smiled up at him because the thought seemed romantic. I touched his cold face with the palm of my hand, lifted myself up toward him, and captured a kiss from his lips. He lowered his kiss down to my neck, over the spot he’d tenderly bitten, and let his tongue roam freely.
    Baring my new fangs, I let out a hiss, feeling this crazed uncontrollable need for his sex.
    Rain took ahold of my jaw making my mouth open up for him so he could take a good look. “You, my lady, are a vampire.”
    The thought suddenly scared me. If I was a vampire, that meant I was no longer alive. What would people think? Whom could I tell? How would I tell my friends? Feeling this incredible strength inside of me, I pushed him off of me. He flew across the room and crashed onto the floor. Tears wanted to fall from my face.
    â€œWhat am I going to do now? Am I going to continue to sleep the day away and awake every night feeling this need for blood and sex?”
    â€œThat’s why I’m here to help you,” he replied, standing on his two feet. “There’s a whole new life ahead of you and you can’t go back to doing things the way you did them before. If you’re not careful, you’ll kill anyone for blood and your insatiable desire for sex will become uncontrollable.”
    â€œWhy’d you choose me?”
    He was back by the bedside in the blink of an eye. “You’re so beautiful. I had to have you.”
    My hunger was back. My stomach pangs confirmed that I wanted to eat. “I’m so hungry. Where’s Colette? I need something to eat.”
    â€œColette won’t be helping you anymore. I’m going to make sure you get everything you need.”
    â€œOkay… Do you have anything to eat?”

CHAPTER 9

RAIN
    B ringing her back to Club Vaisseau in the middle of her transition was dangerous, but she needed blood. I hoped her thirst wouldn’t allow her to kill to get it. Once she had her first kill, the thrill from it would be too powerful, and she would no longer be one of us. One of the dark broods would have no problem taking in another scavenger.
    We had spare blood from blood givers. They gave their blood willingly to keep us alive in case of emergencies. Every night, in a small room inside the club, we collected blood and it was smooth and easy. We hunted normally, but this blood was for our emergencies only.
    If she didn’t get enough as needed, she would die. I could’ve taken her on her first hunt, but since it was excessively early to be exposed, I had to go into our emergency reserve. I wanted her to realize what was happening gradually. The smell of humans would possibly send her over the edge, and her strength at this tender moment would be too strong for me to control, but I took the risk anyway.
    As I escorted her through the back of the club around midnight, I made sure she wouldn’t come into contact with any humans. At that hour, the blood drive was usually over, giving us more than enough to get us through to the next night.
    As I expected, no one was in the room. I sat Essence down in a chair as her head rolled around. She was ready to get to sleep, but her hunger pangs wouldn’t let her. If I didn’t hurry, she was going to bolt out of the room at lightning speed and kill the first human she met.
    I opened the warmer and got out an airtight thermal. As soon as the container was opened, she could smell it. She snatched it from me and drank it quickly. Suddenly, she calmed down. Wiping the excess blood from her mouth, she stared at me.
    â€œBetter?” I
