Preface
As the coffin sat on top of the earth for the final time, Jenna dropped her white flowers into the
casket and thought about the memories she had shared with her dear mother. All those memories.
Jenna remembered when earlier this year her mother had been shopping for dresses for the
formal coming up at the end of the year. She had been so excited. Jenna didnt want to go to the
formal anymore. It was their thing, and it just didnt feel right without her there.
Jenna had loved her mother dearly.
Jenna and her father stood in the sun until everyone had said their respects and left. He stayed
silent through the whole thing. That was Jennas dad. Strong and silent. He didnt even show any
emotion, while Jenna had puffy eyes from crying.
Im going to the pub, He said; his husky voice low and blank before he turned around and
silently made his way to his car.
Jenna knew that he didnt want her there with him. She had to walk home.
Bending down, she put her fingertips to her lips and then put her fingertips to the gravestone that
had her mothers name engraved on it.
I love you, mum,
She turned around and made her legs walk. She could imagine her mum; still see her beautiful
curly brown hair, her creamy orange dress that she loved so much. Jenna looked around the

woods surrounding the cemetery, imagining her next to one of the trees on the other side of the
cemetery, but the image was different from what Jenna wanted to imagine. She was with a man;
a man dressed in a suit with his arms wrapped around her, offering support. Jenna shook her
head, but the image didnt go away. She crept closer, but the image seemed to step back with her,
going deeper and deeper into the brush.
Mum, Jenna whispered and reached a hand out to the image they kept disappearing from her.
The woman blew a kiss, and then disappeared from sight.

Chapter one
several years later
Thank you, miss, have a great night. Here is your change, Jenna received her change from the
lady at the cash register with a smile and made her way outside. Like most nights lately she went
out to the diner up the street from her house and had dinner by herself. Her dad always went out
during the day and somehow there was never any food in the house any more. No matter how
many times she filled it.
Jenna knew what the problem was. Of course she knew. A big blonde, big breasted problem.
Since her dad had gotten a new girlfriend, he had always been out and was hardly ever home.
After Jennas mum had died, her and her dad didnt bond anymore. They were family, but after
her mum had died they didnt act like one anymore.
Jenna hugged her jacket tighter as she stepped outside into the cold wind that splashed her face.
She took her time eating her dinner tonight. She wasnt sure why, but it somehow felt right. She
wasnt much into fate, or destiny, but she thought it seemed right to spend longer at the
diner.There wasnt anyone around, and the only real reason she left was because they had to

close for the night. Looking around, she couldnt see anyone else but her on the streets. She
crossed the road so that she could follow the street lamps home, and stuffed her hands in her
pockets to keep them warm.
Already half way home, Jenna wasnt surprised when the street lamps got further and further
apart until they became nearly three hundred meters apart. It was a strange how they kept getting
further and further away from each other even though there were still shops around. It had been
like that before Jenna had moved here and it didnt bother her that much.
Her friends used to tell her that if walked through the streets at night you could hear ghosts or
some creatures howling or screaming in the science. She used to laugh at them and tell them they
were stupid to think she would believe it.
Jenna stopped, remembering.
Only she knew she didnt imagine it that time.
It was only for a split second, but she couldnt have imagined it. Jenna listened for it again, but
silent greeted her.
Jenna didnt give up that easily.
She was always considered a stubborn girl. Jenna could admit it sometimes, but her gut instincts
were more than likely correct.
Most of the time.
So as she crept towards the way where she heard the scream, she wondered if she really knew
what she was doing. She was always the do-before-thinking kind of person, and once she saw a
glimpse of where the sound came from, she knew this was another time.

She hid behind one of the garbage bins as she tried to make out the three dark shadows that
seemed to look like towering male structures.
That wasnt very nice, now was it? She heard a deep growl that resembled what Jenna thought
to be some type of dog followed by a female whimper.
I think she actually drew some blood, Jenna heard another say and a very deep laugh.
Disgust rolled off of her as she thought what she knew was going to happen. She knew she had
gone too far this time. She should have just ignored it and walked away. But now she couldnt
move because shed get caught. There was nowhere to go.
Jenna put her head against the garbage bin that was between her and the criminals and prayed
that this would end out okay. Maybe if she just ran for it, they wouldnt be bothered to chase
after her.
Jenna looked back and squinted as hard as she could to make out the shadows that were closer
together now, hearing little whimpers every now and again.
Thinking that shed call the police while she ran, and that this was her chance while they were
distracted, she turned around.
And smacked into a wall.
A warm hard wall.
Jenna looked up at the dark shadow that loomed above her and gasped as the only thing she
could tell about the male was his gleaming white teeth. She stumbled backwards but he seemed
to keep the distance and grabbed her throat, causing a feminine gasp to escape her mouth. Jenna
was pushed against the wall behind her with the hand on her throat, but she noticed that the hand
was soft and gentle against her skin.

Didnt your mother ever tell you its not good to spy on people, little one? The males voice
was soft and arrogant, and the thumb that was on her throat starting moving up and down her
jugular.
Jenna stiffened under his hand and tried to look a different way, not giving the criminal the
satisfaction.
Now, now, dont be shy, youre beautiful, Despite where she was and the situation she was in,
she blushed at the gentle compliment.
Weve a got a beauty here, brothers, Jenna knew she was going mad; how could she blush at
this stranger who was going to do who knows what to her. Shed lost it. Completely.
Whats her name? Jenna heard another say.
Genevieve, Light from a passing car shown on his face, and Jennas eyes widened at the
beauty of the man who was holding onto her neck.
Jenna screamed, but only until the hansom gentleman brought his lips to hers. Her eyes widened
even more, and then closed unconsciously to the feel of him. Jenna didnt realize that he had said
her name without her telling him, or that he had taken her further into the alley.
That wasnt very nice, Jenna. Someone could have heard you, He leaned back and had that
arrogant grin on his face again.
Please, Jenna whispered as she felt the other dark shadows come closer.
Begging already? Youre good Nathan, One said and the one who held her neck leaned in
closer, Jenna seeing that arrogant smile, and then stepped to the side letting her neck go. Jenna
tried not to notice to cold that movement brought to her neck.
She looked around, but all she could make out was blackness or dark shapes that resembled

crates. She didnt realize that shed been brought so far into the side street.
Oh, let me go first, The one that was slightly taller than all three of them said, itching forward
and putting his handon her waist, heading upwards. She smells divine,
Selfish bastard, the one with the deepest voice muttered, but stepped back.
Fear set in for once in Jennas life, and she unconsciously leaned back and wished she could sink
into the wall and fade away instead of dealing with what was now stroking her cheek.
Absolutely divine, He leaned in, almost nose to nose with her, met her in the eye and almost
instantly she felt herself tire out. Her heart slowedto a beat bordering unconsciousness, and she
felt his head lower down towards her neck while one hand went to her waist, and the other held
Jennas head that had lolled to the side.
Pl PleaseJennas mouth felt slack, and she couldnt finish the word that was mumbled
from her lips.
She only felt lips pressed against her neck once, before Jenna was overwhelmed with pleasure as
his teeth sunk into her. She could feel her heart pick up, and literally felt her blood rush to her
neck, giving him more sustenance as he drank.
Nathan watched as one of his older brothers satisfied himself on the nosy being that happened to
be spying on them. He heard her as soon as she entered the side street, and took it in himself to
greet her first.
He studied her glazed over expression, and his brother, Stephan as he worked his mouth over the
tender spot at her delicate neck. His fangs probed his mouth, waiting to elongate, but he held
back; he had to give his brother a fair go. But as Nathan thought about it, just the subtle

Nathan knew this fragile human meant a lot to a lot of people around town. And it definitely
wouldnt be a good idea to finish her off and leave everyone guessing as where she had
disappeared to.
More than a little angry at his own weakness, Nathan released the girls neck and let her crumple
to the floor, landing on her side, eyes still partially closed.
Little rough there, brother, Stephan said and inclined his head to Genevieve who whimpered in
protest at being on the floor. But she did taste a bit on the sour side,
Nathan wanted to ring his brother until his head snapped off. And he showed it in his growl of
disapproval.
You know where to take her home? His older brother asked and Nathan huffed. Of course he
knew where she lived. But that wasnt the question his brother had asked him. The question was
whether he was going to take her there.
Fine, Nathan said grumpily and went to the big oversized crate that she had tried to conceal
herself in. Bending down to retrieve the tiny electronic device that was her phone, her sweet
aroma filled his nostrils and he had to close his eyes from the attack against his senses.
He bent down in front of the girl when he reached her and watched as she slowly lifted her eyes
to his, her hand loosely holding onto her red soaked neck.
With a sigh of frustration, he lifted her with the ease of lifting a small child and made sure she
hadnt left anything behind before running her back to her home. He could rely on his brothers to
make sure he hadnt left anything behind if he had, which he hadnt.
It only took him several minutes to get to her home, and even then, he was going slowly.Nathan
was a fast runner. A very fast runner. He could normally run faster than all his family. Well,

except his uncle Paul, but he was good at everything. Nathan didnt count him, because no one
beat his uncle at anything.
Nice house, Jenna, Nathan said quietly, unconsciously stroking her cold hair until he realized
what he was doing and stopped himself. He found the reactions she was bringing out in him
strange and he didnt know what they meant, nor did he think he wanted to know.
Unlocking the doors with his mind, he made his way to the closed door that had her name
scribbled on it and used his back to open it.
It was an ordinary room, close to what Nathans sisters looked like, except very empty.
Thinking about it looked too empty. She didnt have many posters, only a couple of pictures of
what Nathan thought were her friends, and one picture of her and another woman. Nathan knew
just from looking at the resemblance that they were mother and daughter or siblings, but Nathan
doubted that idea.
Without noticing, Nathans grip loosened, and the fragile human slid down the length of his body
onto the floor. She seemed to melt away and pool at the floor, letting out a little groan. He looked
down at her loose head that was leaning all its weight on his thigh and realized that her breathing
was shallow.
Im going to have to do this all by myself, too, Nathan muttered to himself, as he bent again
and carried her to the blue bed, letting her sink into covers.
He positioned himself behind her so that she leaned herself against him, and then before bringing
his wrist to her mouth, he bit it and made blood start to swell. There was really no pain involved,
only a slight flinching feeling that seemed to overcome Nathan, no matter how many times he
tried to calm himself.

At first the little vulnerable human whimpered and moved her mouth away, but Nathan growled
impatiently and pushed his wrist back in his place while holding her more securely.
Drink, he commanded softly but firmly and then when she refused again, he pinched her nose
that made her gasp. He knew as soon as his blood had touched her tongue because her body
jerked, and then she started to suck greedily at his open wrist. Nathan leaned his head back
against the head board and kept his mind occupied from the little thing at his wrist.
Of course, Nathan knew that Jenna was his responsibility from now on. His brothers probably set
it up too, but Nathan would deal with that later. He needed to figure what to do with his new
problem.
What to dowhat to do, he murmured to himself.
Jenna whimpered softly and started to slow, and unconsciously Nathan put his hand on top of her
head to keep it in place, while she finished.
Many miles away, on the other side of town, the leader of the werewolf clan was bent over a map
when one of his lieutenants ran in, waving photos around at everyone in the room. The other
members of the clan stopped what they were doing and came closer, wondering what was wrong.
Theyve been spotted, theyve have been spotted! He ran to his leader, and handed him the
photos, along with a map with a red spot, marking a location.
Impossible, The leader whispered, almost to himself. He had been trying to track them all his
life, taking over from his father, and his father before that.
Just on the other side of town, sir, The lieutenant pointed on the map to prove his point.
Why would they show themselves? After all this time? A man who was in charge of weapons

asked, almost not believing the lieutenant. It wasnt common that someone would try and make
something up like that.
My source said that it was a celebration meal for buying a new town house somewhere in the
city.
The leader, contemplating everything, put his hand on his chin, and then narrowed his eyes at
one of the pictures.
Who is the woman?
One of their snacks. Our research team is trying to get a name, but its taking some time.
The leader nodded. Everything from now on stops. He looked around and held up the photos in
his hand. This is our number one priority. Weve spent too long waiting for them to make an
appearance, and were not going to let them get away. Find out anything you can. Where theyre
living, etc. He then looked at his lieutenant. And do anything you can to make our researchers
work harder. This woman might remember something.
As everyone started to get to work in a hurry, the leader of the werewolf clan sat in his chair and
thought about how he was not going to let his ancestors down again.

Chapter 2
Nathan walked through the hallways of the place he had now called home for the past 133 years
nodding to some of the guards he passed and headed to the big wooden doors that held the
lounge where his family sat on chairs around the gold plated fire place. His brothers were already
there looking at home, Stephan standing and leaning against the fire place, Sebastian sitting with
his bonded mate Marissa cuddled up to him.
My son, His father, king Dante said with affection, even though his face didnt show much
emotion.
Father, Nathan bowed his head and knelt in front of both his mother and father. Forgive my
lateness,
His father leant out of his chair and put his hand on his sons shoulder, while his mother said,
Of course, my dear, your brothers had informed us already, Nathan nodded at them and then
stood up, glancing a thanks at both of his brothers.

Brother, Stephan held out a glass that was his own mixture of whiskey and blood. Nathan
went to his brother and it took it hesitantly, keeping his stare on his older brother.
A sudden look of amusement, mixed with annoyance overtook Stephans face as Nathan sniffed
the drink before taking a small sip to test if it was clean.
I wouldnt do it to you again, Nath, Stephan said, but Nathan just narrowed his eyes. Last time
Nathan got Stephan to make him a drink; he had put salt and spices into it that had Nathan in the
kingdoms clinic for two days getting it washed from his system.
Nathan, we were just informing your siblings that the family will be over hopefully next month
or sooner if things go well for a few days. Nathan nodded, even though Dante had caught the
wince when he had heard the news.
The little ones will be staying on 7a, a level below Sebastian and Marissa. When Marissa
nodded, and Sebastian just shrugs, he continued. We all decided that it would safer close to
Sebastian and Marissa, and that it is nowhere near the front entrance. When the rest of the family
arrives, they can choose where they would like stay for a couple of days.
Yes, father, The four of them said in unison.
I do hope you were careful tonight, His mother said seriously, looking over at her sons, finally
resting on the oldest Sebastian, who had promised that they would behave and stay out of sight.
We not only need to be careful of the were community, but the human community too. The
press doesnt need to know that you will be going to school at May brook,
Nathan and his brothers knew his mother was right. There was the threat of the weres, but they
had to keep as much away from the human population as well, especially the press. Nathans
family was famous, being the number one richest family in the world, both in human and

vampire worlds, the press flourishes at the sight of them. It wasnt just being rich; Dante was in
charge of nearly every real estate company in the country as well as looking after the country for
the vampire world. Of course, Nathans extended family was just as rich, living in different
countries to help battle all the dangers that threatened their race. Just in Nathans kingdom alone,
they had forty-five hundred guards, over 60 hectares of land. Of course, the only way you could
get there is if you had a portal key, and the kings permission to enter, otherwise, you wouldnt be
allowed in. everyone in the family had one, a special small object that is kept on them at all times
to help them get to where they want to go in seconds. Nathans was a ring that he wore, the
family emblem imprinted on the band.
Nathan didnt know why they were being forced to go to school either; I mean, in his vampire
years, he should be the same age as the teenagers in the human high school, but that didnt mean
that he had to socialize with them.
They were humans for Christ sakes.
Yes mother, we behaved ourselves, Stephan said to his mother and took another sip of his
whiskey.
Good, She said with a nod.
You did make her forget, didnt you, Nathan? Stephans voice entered his mind and he looked
over at his brother. His brother must have known that he had opened his mind enough to let his
voice through.
Nathan stiffened.
Did he make her forget? He relayed the events of the night in his head, trying to find the key
event that would make him say yes.

You idiotic piece of shit, Stephan growled when Nathan didnt say anything.
She wont believe herself that tonight happened, shell think shes crazy,Nathan answered back
quietly, hoping that he would be right.
you better hope she does, Nathan, because youre going to have to deal with Mum, not us,
Sebastian said and Nathan made a slight inclination of his head, secretly nodding his head to his
older brothers.
I think Marissa and I will retire for tonight, Sebastian said and patted his mates thigh,
indicating for her to let him up. What time does school start?
8:45 Her mother said sweetly, before both Nathans brother and his mate kissed went to them
and gave them kisses goodnight.
Rhage, Sebastian said, putting his hand around Marissa and started for the door.
Yes, my lord, Sebastians personal guard said in a humble tone, suddenly making himself
known from the wall he had been leaning against.
I want you to have to the night off tonight, and probably tomorrow as well, Sebastian said,
making Rhage nod at him, even though Nathan saw that the guard didnt like the plan. All the
guards seemed to like being guards and protecting the royal family, which Nathan thought was a
bit crazy. Rhage had been Sebastians guard for fifty years now, and they had grown to be good
friends. Such good friends that Nathan had even caught Rhage arguing with Sebastian, which
was rare.

Chapter 3
The next morning, Jenna awoke with a headache. She groaned as she sat up from under the
covers of her bed, and then looked around, confused. She was still in her clothes from the night
before, but as a sudden headache hit her, Jenna couldnt remember how she got home. She must
have been really tired.
Looking at how late she had woken up, she ran to the shower, and probably had the quickest
shower she had ever had in her life.
Going down stairs, Jenna found her dad smashing the coffee pot against the table, muttering and
cursing to himself.
Here, let me, Jenna said quietly, and reached for the pot, but her dad snatched it and threw it in
the sink. Im not thirsty anyway, he said angrily and grabbed a piece of bread that he had been

buttering.
Jenna grabbed some cereal and sat at the table, knowing that he was in a mood and probably
hung over. She knew not to say anything so he wouldnt get angry.
Half way through her breakfast, Jennas dad cursed again out loud, and grabbed his keys. Me
and Lacey are going out tonight, dont wait up,
Wasnt going to, Jenna muttered before she could stop herself, but her father didnt even hear
her. At first she waited for him, but he stayed for several nights and left her by herself. Now, she
didnt even care whether he came home or not.
As Jenna walked to school like she normally did, she felt charged. She felt she had such power in
her bones that she actually felt like running to school. No, she wouldnt stop at school, shed go
run a marathon she felt so good.
School was like it normally was, dull. Jenna didnt mind school, but it did become quite dull at
times. Familiar faces, familiar surroundings, after a while everything started to merge and
became repetitive.
Passing everyone that gave her a big smile and a wave, Jenna pasted a smile on her face and
nodded in greeting. She had a small school, and everyone knew everyone. Sometimes, Jenna
loved it because she was liked by a lot of people, but other times, like now, she just didnt want
to be known. She didnt know why, but she felt like she had changed somehow, and everyone
was looking at her strangely. Like she should be somewhere else.
Jenna, A very familiar voice called her from behind and she turned to see her best friend with
an annoyed look on her face. You were supposed to call me on Saturday.
Jenna winced a little for forgetting. Sorry, Katie. I was so busy this weekend, time just flied,

Katie just huffed and through her arms up in the air. I had to spend all day, She held her hand
up to stop Jenna from talking. And night babysitting Lily. All by myself, I might add. She
wouldnt sleep! Jenna just laughed. She couldnt help it. Katie wasnt good with kids. Any kids.
She would normally call Jenna for assistance, and then everything would be sorted out.
Ladies, Katies boyfriend Leah came behind Katie and wrapped his arms around her waist,
giving her a kiss on her shoulder.
Hey, Leah, Jenna started to say, but she got cut off when she was grabbed from behind and
hauled over someones shoulder. She screamed, as she was flung over and her eyes were
suddenly focusing on the ground beneath her, but she stopped when she saw familiar white and
green shoes.
Tom, put me down! Jenna said and huffed when she started vibrating on his shoulder from his
laughter.
Calm down, babe, He said and put her back on her feet. Jenna put her hands on her hips as he
grinned at her and held out his arms. Come on, He dragged out the words, and pretended to
look sad.
Oh, fine, She went into his arms and he tightened them around her.
Hey, he said and kissed her.
This was probably the best bit of school, thought Jenna as she kissed her boyfriend back just as
the bell goes for class.
Do we have a class together? He asked, but Jenna shook her head smiling, causing him to
groan.

Come on, buddy, Leah said patting him on the back and led him away with a wink. Youve
got class with me,
