Valyn
Ambrogio was not happy to be what he was. Soon, the time would come for his
first feeding and once that happened, there was no going back. Not that he
could change the fact that he was a vampire, and a prince at that, even if he
wanted to.
He
also wasn’t thrilled to know that Baldassare would be bonded to him. The older
vamp was conditioned to be his protector, but Valyn couldn’t stand the guy. He
was voracious when feeding, turning Valyn’s stomach.
Then
there was his friendship with Chesten Murray, a human. A friendship that Valyn
wished was so much more. Chesten didn’t know what Valyn was, and he had to keep
that secret. There was no doubt that Chesten wouldn’t understand and would be
scared of him.
That
secret didn’t last when Valyn’s need to feed snuck up on him and he lost
control, in front of his best friend. Chesten ran and shut Valyn out, refusing
to see him or talk to him so he could explain.
It
was when Baldassare found out Chesten knew about Valyn that things got
complicated. Valyn couldn’t let Baldassare hurt Chesten, much less kill him.
But how he was supposed to keep Chesten safe when his bond to Baldassare was
completed after he fed?
And
how was he to live for an eternity knowing the man he loved thought him a
monster?
*~*~*~*~*
Chesten
Murray had harbored a huge crush on his best friend, Valyn since the day he met
the other man. Valyn was so damn gorgeous and had a fragility to him that drew
Chesten in like a moth to flame.
Valyn
was a fascinating contradiction to Chesten. Seemingly strong, yet vulnerable.
He didn’t understand it, but didn’t care. His heart wanted the other man, and
his body too.
It
was when Chesten witnessed Valyn attacking someone that his impression of his
friend was shattered, along with his heart. He knew what his eyes had seen, and
even if he didn’t want to believe it, Chesten realized, the man he cared about
was a monster.
How
was he supposed to live with that knowledge and the heartache that came with
it?
