control so quickly, Damien couldn’t help but think it was because he came back to Big Timber.

“It’s all my fault. If only I would have gone after her at the college that day. Maybe I could have saved her.” Damien said, his grip on Jill’s hands firm with frustration.

“Damien, if you had gone after her then whoever was responsible for turning her would have either killed you or taken you to Lilith. This isn’t your fault. This is what they do. It’s always been this way.”

Damien pulled away, turning around. “Are you hearing yourself? You’re doing exactly what you’re accusing them of doing. I’ve learned so much about the lycans. However, lately, I’ve had a nagging inside of me to try and find out if the vampires are just as sick of losing loved ones as you are.”

The words Kain told Jill ran across her mind. Purifiers were the peacekeepers between the two races. He’s doing what he was sent here to do. You cannot interfere with that.

“I hope you’re right, Damien. I really do. I need to sleep though. I hadn’t gotten much since the incident with the pup.” Jill replied, hopeful that there were peaceful vampires in the world.

“Okay. I’m going to go talk with Kain.”

“Damien.”

“Yeah?”

“Will you stay here tonight?”

Damien smiled, nodding before heading out of the tent.

Chapter Twenty

Damien waited until he was sure Jill was asleep before taking out his phone. He knew she would be angry at what he was about to do but he needed to try to reach Chelsea without Jill around.

He opened his contact list to scroll down to Chelsea’s cell phone number. God please let her still have the same number. Damien sent the text asking her to meet him.

A reply came shortly after agreeing to meet him alone at a place known to the townsfolk as the Lookout.

“You are going then?”

Damien looked over to see Kain leaning against a tree.

“I have to. I need to know if she’s really gone.”

“You realize this could be a trap. It is cloudy outside, Damien. Vampires aren’t as affected during overcast days. What is there to stop Chelsea from harming you?” Kain asked, a sense of concern laced his voice.

“Nothing. She won’t trap me, Kain. I don’t know how I know, I just do.” Damien put his phone in his pocket, walking towards his bike with Kain on his heels.

“I won’t stop you, Damien but I will tell you I don’t like this. We wouldn’t be able to help you.”

“You won’t need to. Just make sure Jill isn’t too angry when I get back.” Damien retorted, getting on his motorcycle. The engine roared to life and he headed out onto the main road towards the Lookout.

Damien sat on his bike looking out at the mountain range in front of him. The view always took his breath away. The woods spread out as a green sea. In the distance the clock tower at the top of the town hall peaked just over the canopy. A hawk’s call could be heard ringing out across the landscape.

The sudden chill up his spine alerted him to the vampire who had once been his friend. Chelsea rested her hands on Damien’s shoulder, her cheek leaned against his arm.

“It’s messed up isn’t it? We’re supposed to be going for college degrees, getting jobs, falling in love, and getting married.” She purred, kissing his shoulder.

“Chelsea, you don’t have to obey the vampires. You can choose to stay who you were.”

“Damien, that time is over. I like being with the coven. Becoming a vampire opened my eyes to just how pathetic humans are. Look at me, Dame. I’ll be beautiful forever while you age and die. I have power that I never would have gotten as a human. You are so much more powerful than even you know, Damien. Come with me. Let Lilith change you and stay as handsome as you are now.”

“Right, and have my heart and blood frozen inside of me in return. I don’t think so. Chelsea, this isn’t you. I refuse to believe that you’ve become nothing more than a heartless monster.”

“Then you’re in denial. Tell me Damien, why did you choose that dog? You never even knew her until that day at the school. What makes her so special to you?” Chelsea spat, pinning Damien against his motorcycle.

“Jill completes me, Chelsea. You always talked about soul mates and meeting the ‘one’, remember? When our eyes met, I just knew. I knew Jill was my soul mate.”

“And yet here you are. Unchanged. Dying with each second while she remains young. Please, Damien. You’re a temporary thing for her. Once you’re gone, she’ll run to Kain and you know it.”

“Is that Lilith talking or you?” Damien replied, unshaken by the threats involving Kain.

“It doesn’t matter. She won’t get the chance to change you.” Chelsea’s eyes darkened with the shadows of the vampire.

Damien found himself held tightly against his motorcycle, his back aching from how far it was being forced to bend.

“I told you. I will see you dead before I see you with her.”

Just as Chelsea was about to sink her teeth into Damien’s throat, a single ray of sunshine pierced through the clouds, burning her so badly she jerked back almost shrieking in pain.

Damien took the opportunity to start up his motorcycle to head back to Holt’s camp. His heart hurt from the realization that Chelsea was gone. His once gentle friend was replaced by a vindictive, jealous vampire.

Jill woke to find she was still alone. The moon had risen well into the sky, yet Damien was nowhere in sight. She got up and got dressed, heading out into the main section of the camp to meet Kain.

“Kain, did Damien stay?” Jill asked, nervous.

“He did. He’s
