Tangled Moon: Part Five She groaned. “Unbelievable.” “What?” he asked, still holding her when he could have put her down already. They were at the table. “Me, passing out, that’s what.

Tangled Moon: Part Four …“You’re a…” “Vampire,” he finished for her quietly. His words seemed to hang in the air around him, kind of like his scent. “They’re real. Last night was real.” “Yes.” “And you’re one of them.” “Yes.” She took another step back, ran into a side table and then felt her way…

Tangled Moon: Part Three …The rest, he couldn’t even bear to tell her. He could see only two options. Eventually he’d have to either change her, or to allow himself to be destroyed.
