“His truck is right behind us,” Tori said.
My head jerked, and my gaze landed on Archer Madden, in the front seat of his truck.
A truck I was way too well-acquainted with.
My body warmed at the sight of him, and my stomach rumbled again, louder than ever.
“How does he smell?” Tori asked, noticing me staring out the back window of our shitty little car.
“Like a drug.” My gaze didn’t leave his obnoxiously-gorgeous figure.
“Hopefully, the pull to him will get easier to ignore after you have a blood bag.”
I really hoped she was right.
Because if she wasn’t… well, I had no idea how long I’d be able to fight it.

My wolf growled unhappilythrough the entire drive to Lovene’s apartment.
It was difficult to pair the old-fashioned name with the feisty female I’d found in my pack’s bar. Somehow, she was soft and playful… and a vampire too.
She’d been telling the truth when she said she felt safer in Wildwood—because whoever she was running from wouldn’t dare search my city without coming to me first.
Considering the way Love had asked me about our vampire visitor, it seemed safe to assume he was the one looking for her and Tori. Thankfully, I hadn’t given the bastard permission to look for his female in my city.
My stomach clenched at the thought that he could’ve killed or taken my mate right out from beneath my nose.
“We need to figure out a sincere fucking apology,”my wolf growled, for the fifth time since we realized the truth.
“I’m aware.”
“And you need to tell her she’s drinking our blood, not anyone else’s.”
“I know.”I couldn’t stop myself from snapping the words. The thought of my female’s teeth in another man’s throat made my fists tighten on the steering wheel, my wolf’s claws breaking through my fingertips.
Another bastard’s blood, running through her body…
I’d kill him.
“We would’ve heard about it if there were female vampires feeding on humans in our city. People talk,”he said.“So she hasn’t been eating. She’s hungry. And you saw her fangs descend—it obviously wasn’t intentional.”
Fur broke out down the lengths of my fingers. The throbbing in my lip had subsided, and the wound was on its way toward being healed. I wasn’t angry with her for hurting me. She hadn’t been in control—and I may have overreacted a bit.
Possibly.
“She’s not feeding enough. That’s why her stomach kept growling,”I said.
“She didn’t need food, she needed blood.”
“I’ll talk to her about it.”
“If she doesn’t listen, I’ll force her into submission.”
I scoffed.“Did you miss the bit where she was pretending to be a human? She’s not going to be forced into anything.”
