Incandescence

By: Mel Teshco

In a vampire monster’s nest, the most dangerous attraction is the one that makes you human again.

Alexander
For forty-six years I’ve been the perfect blood slave—my rare blood feeding my vampire master. In return, he gives me just enough of his own blood to keep me addicted, contented, spellbound.
Then Maya arrives, all defiance and desperate fury, and suddenly I remember what I used to be. She’ll use anyone to escape our master’s nest, including me, but I help her anyway. Because even a man who’s forgotten how to fight might still learn how to live again.

Maya
Three days ago, I didn’t believe in vampires. Now I’m trapped at the top of a building, imprisoned in our master’s nest, while his blood slave watches me like I’m a miracle.
Alexander’s been here forty-six years. He’s beautiful, broken, and addicted to the tiny drops of his master’s blood that keep him enslaved. I’ll use him if I have to. His rare blood makes him valuable, while his decades of obedience make him invisible.
Together we might have a chance—if I can convince a man who’s forgotten how to hope that some things are still worth dying for.
