Hunter’s Heart

***

Chapter One

The waitress poured Garrett’s coffee, treating him to a long glimpse of her cleavage, the plump breasts propped up in a red lace bra in the V-neck of her tight t-shirt.

If you want anything else, she murmured in her cigarette-burned voice. Just ask. Or take.

The invitation was there in her eyes for Garrett to plainly see, but he merely nodded his thanks and slipped a ten dollar bill under the pepper shaker for the two dollar coffee. The waitress, who looked barely out of her teens, reluctantly turned away from him to tend to her other customers, twitching her hips provocatively with each step.

Garrett curled his hands around the steaming hot mug of black coffee, not at all tempted by the human female’s antics. He had been alone for a very long time. No friend. No family. And definitely no woman. Still, he was willing to go even longer without sex and companionship rather than wasting his time with a breakable human woman he couldn’t use his full strength on.

Through the window of the late-night Atlanta diner, a brilliant crescent moon burned through the trailing clouds. The night was dark and full, a beautiful cloak for the city wreathed in lights. Summer heat reached Garrett, even in the building with its firmly closed doors and cold air conditioning system. He sat at the back at the diner in the vinyl booth, warming his hands around his cup of coffee and pondering his solitary nature.

As a human, the aloneness was something he had chosen. He was a rarity among his people and had gotten used to walking the solitary path. But his isolation was something he thought would end when he found a woman he wanted to make his wife; then they would make beautiful children together. Create a beautiful life.

But then Grayson had come along, the vampire who made him, and Garrett was consigned to being alone forever. He brought the hot coffee to his lips, feigned taking a sip just for the simple and decadent sensation of warmth against his cold face.

Nearly midnight. More than half a dozen humans in the diner, drinking coffee, eating their meals, enjoying an evening indoors away from the muggy summer heat. In the corner of the diner, a TV played the latest hot reality show. Women making fools of themselves for a few moments in front of a camera.

The harsh cry of a woman jerked his head away from the TV screen.

Help! A howl of agony.

A human woman in need. She screamed again. The sound provoked the beast in him, the fear in the woman’s voice. But he had ignored that part of him for long enough that it took a mere thought to silence it.

Garrett looked around the diner, expecting one of the men in the large room, especially the burly one with the beard and thick bowl full of chili on the table in front of him, to jump up and run to the woman’s rescue. He seemed like the type to get off on saving women in need. Garrett linked his fingers around the coffee cup and inhaled again that warm heat, that scent he had loved as a human. His eyes closed briefly as the savored the scent.

When he opened his eyes again, the man was still there. Calmly eating his chili, while the other man across from him extensively detailed a monster truck rally he’d recently been to. Garrett felt himself stirring restlessly. Why didn’t these men do something to help the wailing woman? He wasn’t so far gone from his humanity that such screams did not move him.

Help me! the woman cried out, over and over again. Her voice rose, shrieking into the night like a siren.

It was a wonder these men, these human beings, could ignore such agonized cries without flinching. Human? Weren’t they supposed to be the ones rushing to the aid of the weak? Sheltering the sheep from ravening beasts? He looked around him as the woman’s voice grew even more desperate, then came what sounded like the gurgling of blood in her lungs. Garrett jumped to his feet.

He left the booth and swiftly crossed the small cafe, ignoring the waitress disappointed eyes on him. He let himself out the door and into the cool darkness that immediately enfolded him. As always, in the night, he felt invincible. The darkness touched his skin like a lover, tugging him deeper into her mysteries as he left the world of light and civility behind.

The woman’s cries still rose up in the air. If anything, they were louder, more pleading, more heart rending. Garrett ran toward her pain. He searched the night, running faster than human eyes could see, searching in the dark corners of the human world, this Atlanta where he’d found himself living for the last sixty years.

Garrett ran through the streets, hands flexing into claws, preparing to fight humans or even other vampires to save the woman. But when he found her, stumbled upon the bright red smell of her in a lonely cul-de-sac, she was alone.

Face down and bleeding in a clearing at the end of a dead end street. Far enough away from the diner that it seemed incredible to him that he’d even heard the woman crying out. No wonder the others in the diner hadn’t reacted. They hadn’t heard the woman at all.

A yellow street blanketed her prone form in its pitiless lighting. The smell of blood was like a too-heavy perfume around the woman. Garrett swallowed against his sudden hunger at the tantalizing scent and crept closer to the woman.

He thought he’d been used their smells, living among humans - or at least on the periphery of their human city - for
