Once Bitten (Shadow Guild: The Rebel 1)

I looked at her. “What do you mean?”

“You heard what the Oracle said. He’s dangerous to you. Cursed Mates.”

“You believe her?”

“Of course I do. Did you see her? She looks totally legit. And Fated Mates are a thing, so Cursed Mates could be one too.”

“I know I’m not up for that kind of thing.”

“Then you know what they say. Don’t make a deal with the devil.”

I nodded. I would avoid him. It was the only smart thing to do.

But more than ever, I had that feeling that we were two stars spinning through space, about to collide with each other. I would see him again. I was sure of it.

I thought of his bite, and how I wanted more. It was crazy, but I wanted more.

This was all happening too fast. Magic. A familiar. Gifts from a vampire. A new life.

I liked it.

I’d had a bite of this new life, and despite the danger and craziness of it, I wanted more.

I grinned at Cordelia and Mac. “How about a girls’ night?”

A girls’ night! I will consult the rubbish bins for a treat.

“Could do,” I replied, leaning out the window to look at the restaurant below. “But why don’t we spring for a kebab? My treat, to celebrate our new life.”
