Read The Witch's Vampire (New Adult Paranormal Romance) (Mystery Springs Series) for Free Online

Aren’t you supposed to be a giant?” While Christopher was tall, at least six feet, he was far from the giants she was told they were.
     
    It was Christopher’s turn to chuckle and Sophie noted he was handsome when his face wasn't marred with sadness, “It would be hard to blend in with the humans if we were giants. This is my human form. I do battle in my angel form which is more like the giant you imagine.”
    “So you’re the offspring of angels and humans?”
     
    “Yes, first generation nephilim. Which means my father was an actual angel.”
     
    “Can’t your mother or father do something to help your sister?” It was a logical question. Surely an angel could heal just about anyone.
     
    “My mother was human, she died in childbirth and my father is - unreachable.” He tied his blond waves back in a ponytail. “My older sister, Tiffany, is human. She’s all I have left.”
     
    “What happened to her?”
     
    Christopher cast an angry glance back toward Giovanni. “She was attacked by a vampire. Injured, infected, and in the process, mortally wounded.”
     
    “So if she dies she’ll become a vampire.” Giovanni supplied an answer to the confused look on Sophie’s face. “What troubles me is vampires don’t attack humans or supernaturals anymore in Mystery Springs. We get most of our nourishment from blood banks and willing feeders. Such an attack is a violation of our treaties and if it was unprovoked is punishable by death.”
     
    Sophie cringed at the idea of vampire's drinking blood from human veins. Live humans! It seemed almost barbaric, but the idea of using blood donated for the injured and sick was not much better. She buttoned her mouth deciding it wasn't the time or place for the ethical debate of vampire feeding.
     
    Christopher laughed coldly, “You expect me to believe vampires are no longer killers?”
     
    Giovanni looked offended, but conceded. “Accidents happen and every death that has a certain supernatural air about it is investigated thoroughly. If it was more than an accident the punishment is severe and irreversible.” Christopher snorted in disbelief which caused Gio to respond defensively. “You’re a hunter. Does that not make you a killer?”
     
    “For a cause, to protect the humans and other supernatural beings from your kind.” Christopher defended himself, narrowing his eyes at the beast in the backseat. Sophie tried to occupy herself with navigating the darkened streets, but couldn't help but get distracted by the argument between the two men. She imagined it was an age-old dispute.
     
    “Death is death. It’s permanent and carries a high cost to those left behind. Think of the supernaturals in Mystery Springs as enlightened. We don’t take the death of any species lightly.” Giovanni flicked something, probably lint off his black leather jacket and narrowed his eyes at Christopher. “Humans don’t need protection in Mystery Springs, not from the supernatural that is.”
     
    Sophie saw the look of concern slide behind those intense eyes in the mirror. “You have a reflection in the mirror.” She spoke her thought out loud. She didn’t mean to sound naïve, but it wasn’t everyday she had an angel and demon in her car.
     
    “That’s because vampires are the worst kind of predators, wolves in sheep’s clothing.” Christopher responded for the sexy man in her back seat. “They’ve learned to adapt and blend into the world of the creatures they hunt.”
     
    “No, that would be werewolves, literally.” Giovanni growled back and Sophie couldn’t hide the laugh that escaped her lips. It was a nervous laugh, but if werewolves were real they would definitely fit that description.
     
    Both men stared at her with dumbfounded looks. “I’m sorry, you’ve got to understand. I only found out I was a witch tonight, before that I had no idea that you people existed in any other place aside from books, television shows, and movies.” She
