Bound In Sin (A Vampire/Werewolf Romance)
was rarely
kissed by sunlight. The land with the savage side that loved his
darkness.
    The wolves had made a truce with him long ago. 
Divided the territory.  That twisted freak Jeremiah had been
all too eager to forge a deal with him.
    But the new alpha wasn’t the same.  Gabe had
known that for years.  Drake Wyler was different. Not so
easily manipulated and controlled.
    Drake will come for my head.
    Because Gabe had taken the head of Drake’s father.
His mother.  And because…
    I took her.
    A wolf howled in the distance. A real beast?  Or
a shifter out for a run?
    Gabe narrowed his eyes and stared into the
darkness.  Jeremiah had wanted him to take the little human.
To torture her, to kill her.
    He’d had his torturing fun. Oh, he always enjoyed
that, but…
    Gabe hadn’t killed Paige Sloan. Death would have been
too easy and not at all in line with his plans.
    “Wh-what can we do?” One of the vamps asked behind
him.
    Gabe’s teeth ground together. “She stopped
screaming,” he gritted out.  When she’d finally realized what
was happening, when she’d seen Jeremiah and had known
why
she was taken, Paige had stopped calling out for her lover.
    He’d actually seen the life fade from her eyes, even
while she was still breathing.
    That total lack of feeling–he’d seen that look
before.
    In my own eyes.
    So he’d stopped Jeremiah from gutting her.  Gabe
had bitten Paige, transformed her. She’d fled, but he’d watched
her. And he’d always known that the perfect time would come to use
her.
    That time was now.
    “H-he followed her out to the lake, ran right out…”
Ah, this came from the still bleeding blond.  John. John
Mackenzie. How long had he been in the fold? Two years? Three? It
was getting hard for Gabe to remember all the fresh bloods. As he
stared at the blond, John gave a quick nod. “He chased her out…I
saw ‘em…through my binoculars.”
    Because you couldn’t get too close to a wolf’s lair,
not without being scented. So the vamps used technology to
supplement their already enhanced vision. 
    They’d watched. They’d waited. They’d attacked.
    The plan had still gone to hell.
    “He took her with him.” This came from one of the
other vamps.  The one with the dark eyes and weathered skin.
Lorenzo, the Spaniard. “She’s probably dead by now.”
    Gabe laughed. They really didn’t understand the wolf
at all. He did.  “She’s probably getting fucked.” Because she
was the one weakness that Drake possessed.  He’d run away from
his pack for her. Run into danger for her.
    The wolf was addicted, and Gabe had no doubt that, if
necessary, Drake would trade his life for Paige. 
    Snow crunched to the left of him.  The vamps
around him swore and leapt forward.
    Gabe shoved them out of the way. He wanted to see
this visitor.
    Curiosity had always been
his
weakness.
    The white wolf edged from the darkness with his eyes
glowing.  The beast didn’t attack. He just stared at Gabe with
that intense gaze.
    Gabe smiled at him. “All alone are you?” Because
there were no other sounds at that lake. This wasn’t a wolf out
leading an attack party.
    This was something altogether different.
    Gabe crossed his arms over his chest.  “If
you’re here to deal…” So many deals, so many years.  He knew
just how the devil felt.
When will it end?
“Then you’re
gonna have to shift and talk to me because I don’t fucking speak
animal.”
    The white wolf crept forward. His wary gaze darted to
each of the vampires. 
    “Shift,” Gabe snapped, losing patience, “or I can
just go ahead and kill you now.” 
    The wolf began to shift.  Disgusting. Gabe hated
the sight of the shifting wolves. 
    Even though he did enjoy the sounds of those popping
bones.
    But soon enough, a man stood before him. Fury
tightened the man’s face and hands. “I know where they are.”
    Fatal mistake. The wolf was just throwing all of his
cards out for them to see. Now, they just had to torture
