Ensnared in Shadow (Blood & Bone, #4)

Marcus

I dream of a woman, haunted by her nightmares. It's happened before, this connection to humans in danger. I've always been too late to save them.

Until her.

I will do anything to protect her. Merry is my destiny, my fated mate.

But she will never love me in return. Not when she learns of what I've hidden from her.

Merry

A year ago, my nightmare began. I've been running ever since.

Until him.

He's a vampire, but nothing like those who hurt me. I'm drawn to him in spite of myself. He wants to keep me safe but his secrets have been discovered. Now, he's the one in danger.

After running for so long, it's time for me stand and fight for the vampire I love.

Prologue

Merry

I had no idea what I was doing.

None.

Okay, so that's partially a lie.

I did know I was packing up my meager belongings and my computer. Then, I was getting the hell out of town.

Where to?

No clue.

I laughed to myself at the little mental rhyme and then shook my head in disgust. I'd been alone for so long that I was beginning to talk to myself, not just out loud, but in my own head. And not in the ordinary way that a person might talk to themselves silently.

No, I had to be amusing.

Or slightly creepy.

As I stuffed the last t-shirt in my suitcase, I glanced around the sterile studio apartment that had been my home for the last six months. There was little more than a bed in one corner, a kitchenette in the opposite corner, and a garage-sale sofa in front of a giant big screen TV from the 1990's that had to weigh a couple hundred pounds. I assumed the owners left it there because it was too heavy to move.

I'd already packed up my small supply of non-perishable food and eaten the last two bananas I had. My clothes and laptop were all ready to go.

The only thing missing was a destination.

But I had to leave. There was an instinctive part of me that was screaming I needed to run as fast and as far as possible. That someone, or something, was coming for me and I wanted no part of it.

Considering what had happened to me nearly a year ago, I wasn't going to question that instinct.

Being held hostage by an insane witch with a scary pet vampire that drank life force instead of blood had cured me of any skepticism when it came to sixth senses.

Magic existed. Evil existed.

And both had promised to return for me.

I sure as hell didn't want to be easily found when it did.
