Excerpt:
MY STOMACH CLENCHED as I sensed
the vampire’s approach. He was close. So close I could feel the thrum of his
power vibrating along my skin. The hairs on the back of my neck rose, and I
knew if I was going to use my power for defense, then I needed to bring it
forth now. I closed my eyes, forcing myself to breathe as deeply as I
could—which thankfully had gotten easier with practice. I focused on the energy
inside me, willing it to the surface, and as I felt it swelling, building like
an approaching storm, I threw out my hand, gripped Stone’s shirtsleeve, and
urged him to the floor. “Get down! He’s here!”
Stone raked me with a look that
told me he was not too pleased, but then fear swept over his face when he realized
just how little time we had.
The wooden door to the pub
suddenly burst open—bits of wood and dust raining down from the force. Even
though Stone should’ve cowered behind me—since his gift of reading blood wasn’t
something he could fight with—somehow he’d found some bravery and boldly stood
by my side. Though I appreciated it, I didn’t like it, and desperately wished
he had listened to me. But I couldn’t think about that and call forth the fire within me at the same time. So I pushed
Stone to the back of my mind with the silent promise of dealing with him later.
Then I returned my attention to the power building inside me. One last deep
breath and my heart shuddered to life inside my chest, making a rhythmic
pattern with my faux breathing. A tingling warmth spread from head to toe, then
settled on my awaiting hands. Seconds later, there was a glowing orb of fire
(about the size of a basketball) cupped inside my palms. And just as the
vampire appeared through the settling fog, I called out, “Not another step,
Tristan, or it will be your last!”
