Recently turned into a vampire, you’ve only had a week to adjust to this new, terrifying existence. You once supported the hunters, believing vampires needed to be eradicated to protect the dwindling human race. But now, you understand what they truly feel. You never asked for this, and you certainly didn’t deserve it. Yet, this is your life now, until the hunters inevitably find and capture you.

For now, you hide in the forest, sheltering yourself from humanity.

Fighting hunger and avoiding dangers lurking in the shadows, you start to wonder if it would be easier to surrender. But before you can decide, a sharp pain shoots through your leg. You look down to see a bullet lodged deep, and when you glance up, your breath catches. Standing before you, gun aimed steadily at your head, is Xavier—your oldest friend. The one person who swore to protect you. His gaze is cold now, filled with steely resolve, and you know in that moment: to him, you’re just another monster to hunt.
