Viktor watched over Cate’s pale lifeless body as the nerves bounced violently in his stomach. He’d never changed anyone himself, although he’d witnessed it plenty of times. It wouldn’t take long for the change to complete. In a matter of minutes, Cate would awaken, part of the undead. He couldn’t wait to show her all the elements of vampire life she had yet to experience.
He was beginning to grow anxious when he caught sight of her finger twitching. Soon, her legs began to flex. A minute later, her eyes snapped open and she stared up at the ceiling as if dazed.
“Welcome back, my love,” he said, planting a kiss on her hand. “How do you feel?”
She turned her gaze on him and his breath caught in his throat. She’d always been beautiful, but the change had only enhanced her good features. Her blue eyes were as vivid as fresh paint on a canvas and her lips formed the perfect pink pout. Her chocolate hair had a sheen to it that made it irresistible to touch. Strength ran through her muscles as she stretched and he couldn’t help but admire every inch of her beneath the Egyptian cotton sheet.
“I feel...hungry enough to eat a horse.” She blinked up at him in alarm. “Is that normal?”
“Perfectly.” He handed her a goblet he’d had delivered to the room this morning. “Drink up. This will satisfy your urges.”
She guzzled down the red liquid, moaning as it hit her tongue. He grinned and watched her feed, relief finally washing over him. The change had been complete. He could sense their connection, like a thread tying the two of them together. He’d forever be able to sense her and the fraction of his soul she carried. It was part of the magic of their breed. He couldn’t think of a better host for it than Cate.
“Now, how do you feel?” He asked after she’d emptied the cup and abandoned it on the table.
“Great!”
She launched out of bed and examined every inch of herself, including the set of new fangs inside her mouth. He leaned back against the pillows and grinned as she did. He didn’t mind the view and he didn’t feel like sharing her with the rest of the world yet.
“I’m a vampire,” she said, turning to him with wide eyes. Her chin trembled.
He sat forward, his heart clenching. He’d been afraid of this. “Do you regret it?”
She took a few deep breaths and clasped her hands in front of her chest. A smile broke out across her face and her eyes filled with tears. “Not on your immortal life. This is everything I ever imagined and more.”
He was beside her in an instant, wrapping his arms around her back. She pressed against his chest and raised her lips to his. They didn’t waste time with sweet nonsense. His mouth devoured hers with a hunger that reflected in her own groans. They kissed until she shoved him hard and he fell back against the bed.
“What was that for?” he asked, shock crossing his face.
A wicked grin tugged at Cate’s face and something naughty twinkled in her eyes. “Just seeing how this vampire thing worked. I think I’m going to like it.”
She crossed the space between them in a flash and leapt into his arms. A satisfied groan left Viktor’s mouth as she claimed his lips with her own. The rising sun spilled in through the windows, caressing the two immortal lovers with its rays, and promising wonderful times to come.

Bite the Big Heartache - Book 2 in the Monstrana Paranormal Romance Series
Chapter One
Werewolf Princess Stasia Pavlosky was going to be fired from her job. Today. She could feel it in her bones. There was a tremor in the air at Lochness Broadcasting Network. The kind that made every employee uneasy and left the bosses itching to put the ax down on the first person they caught sipping too long at the water station or smiling a little too hard.
As if on cue, station manager Travis Treckle came stomping down the aisles between the two dozen work stations, a tremendous scowl etched permanently into his pudgy face. He tugged at his sagging khaki pants and rubbed a swollen hand across his belly. Stasia averted her gaze to stare at the mess of papers spread out across her desk, but it was too late. Mr. Treckle’s beady little eyes had zoomed in on her the moment he entered the room and he marched to her side.
