you.”
    â€œAnd let me live?”
    â€œYes.”
    â€œAnd if they won’t?”
    â€œYou have to hide.”
    He shook his head. “I won’t hide. I won’t live my life that way.” There’s another way,” he reminded her, and he couldn’t believe that he’d even consider it. But since meeting her in the alley, she’d turned his world upside down. Everything he’d believed she’d proven false, so maybe this idea wasn’t that crazy. Because the only way for him to become strong enough to fight them off was to become one of them. “Turn me.”

Chapter Five
    â€œTurn you?” Jennifer asked, incredulous that he would even consider it. She must have heard him wrong.
    â€œIs there any other way to keep the entire society from coming after me?”
    â€œI’ll explain about what Roger did to Bryan. They may make an exception.”
    â€œFor a man whose rage turned him into a vampire hunter? For a man who turned your sister into a vampire hunter?”
    â€œBut she didn’t kill anyone,” Jennifer reminded him. “And I don’t think you have either.”
    â€œI doubt that’ll matter,” he replied. “You think they’ll let me live, knowing what I do? I just don’t know about their existence. I know how to end their existence.”
    She shuddered as she conceded the logic in his thinking. There was no way the society would make an exception for him. “Maybe it won’t come to that. Maybe you really did kill Roger.”
    â€œYou don’t believe that. Not with the way he flew out of here. And even if I didn’t miss, your special surgeon probably could have saved him.”
    She nodded.
    â€œSo there is no other option for me. I won’t spend my life hiding.”
    â€œBut you despise vampires,” she reminded him.
    â€œI despise one vampire,” he said. “Just the one who killed my brother. He’s a monster. But you’re not. You’re not any different now than you were as a human.”
    She smiled at his ignorance. “Everything’s different. I had to give up my family. My friends.”
    â€œI have nothing to give up,” he said. Then, as if just realizing what he’d admitted, he solemnly repeated, “I have nothing.”
    Touched by the vulnerability on his handsome face, Jennifer stepped closer to him. “Liam…”
    â€œI’ve been so consumed with my quest for vengeance that I wasn’t really living. I have nothing to give up, Jennifer.” He slid his hands around her waist. “Turn me.”
    â€œIt’s not just people or things. You’re giving up your lifestyle,” she said. Wistfully she added, “Sunshine.”
    â€œI’ve been living in darkness already,” he insisted. “I won’t miss the sun. I would miss you, though, if I had to go into hiding.”
    â€œMe?” Was it possible that he was feeling it, too, this emotion that connected them?
    â€œYou’re the only one who knows Bryan like I did. You’re the one person I can share his memory with—the one person besides me who truly cared about him.”
    She nodded. She had loved her friend. But she was afraid that she was falling in love with his brother. And Liam, as loyal as he was, probably wouldn’t let himself fall for her—not when he believed that Bryan was the one who should have been with her.
    â€œWhat would he want you to do now?” Liam asked. “Wouldn’t he want you to protect me?”
    â€œBut I wouldn’t be protecting you. I might be hurting you more. I’ve never even bit a human, let alone turned one. It’s dangerous. You have to take out a specific amount of blood,” she explained. “Too little and you won’t turn. Too much and I’ll kill you.”
    â€œI know the risks. I extensively investigated the society,” he reminded
