She already hated it.
She knew Halston would be livid, and she welcomed it, he deserved to feel guilty for shoving her aside. She lifted herself into the air and flew towards that wall of glass and kicked it with all of her strength. It crashed into thousands of pieces of glass and Koa flew out, into the sun and as high as she could go.
She’d find a new home and a new family. Wryn Castle called out to her.
Chapter 12
I an Pratt came when called. Koa smiled when he came to the door of her usual room in the Wryn Castle. His large, puppy dog, hazel eyes lit up when he saw her.
He had a quiet, geeky quality. There was an undeniable intelligence that she could see in his eyes. That was what made Koa choose him out of all the others that had been presented to her three years ago at her membership meeting.
Ian was smart, very smart, and equally attractive. The thing that drew Koa to him though, was that he didn’t know he was hot. That made her like him even more. His black hair was unruly, but it was soft and clean whenever she ran her fingers through it.
Koa watched him as he stood outside the doorway. He gripped the handles of his green, graphic print backpack and smiled at her.
Koa did something she hadn’t planned. She pulled him into the room, closed the door, and hugged him tightly. She almost sobbed into his chest but she bit the tears back. She breathed deeply.
Ian was so warm. He smelled so good. He smelled like youth. Real youth, not a young mask hiding a hundred year old creature. His scent was fresh, like freshly washed clothes. She held him close and nearly melted when he wrapped his arms around her back.
“What’s this?” Ian asked when he felt the blood on her side. He looked genuinely alarmed. “Are you okay? What happened Koa?”
Koa didn’t speak. She was grateful to have someone care about her. All she wanted was to feel cared for…to feel loved. She simply held him. She liked that he was thin. She liked that he was tall. Ian rested his chin on her head and sighed. He loved her. That fact didn’t make Koa feel good.
His wasn’t real love. There was no way that it could be…the glamour made him think he was in love. She wished it was real.
Halston’s face haunted her. She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to block the disappointed look he had given her out of her mind.
“I’m fine, Ian, but you can make me all better.” She gently grabbed the back of his neck and planted a soft kiss on his supple, human, flesh. He nearly trembled with glee.
Koa gave him a gentle nudge, but it was enough to send him falling backwards. She grabbed his collar, lifted him from the ground, and led him to the bed. The instant his head fell onto the plush black comforter, she was on his chest. She tied her hair back, getting it out of the way. Every vein and artery pulsed in her body. She needed him.
Koa moaned and plunged her teeth into his neck. She drank, greedily. She knew why she was so hungry, so out of control, and she yet she didn’t care. Halston could abandon her. Her mother could keep secrets from her. She would have a new family, one that wouldn’t lie to her or hide things from her.
The blood gushed into her mouth and that familiar euphoria radiated throughout her entire body. She could feel his blood rushing and meeting with her own.
She felt powerful. She felt invincible. Koa could feel herself healing as she drained the blood from Ian’s neck.
She nearly cried out from the intense pleasure. Her heart was breaking. Halston had hurt her, but Ian was sustaining her. He was rebuilding her. Koa sucked the blood until Ian was nearly dry.
Dry? Koa paled. No !
Ian let out a whimper and Koa froze. She realized what she had done and ripped her mouth away from his neck. Alarm overcame her when she looked down at his pale face. She grabbed him.
He was cold.
She screamed the most horrified scream
