Tracey H. Kitts

USA Today and New York Times Best Selling Author I write paranormal, sci-fi, and fantasy romance. I have wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember. I write what I enjoy in the hopes that others will enjoy it as well. I've always been drawn to the macabre. Vampires, werewolves, you name it. I've never written about the paranormal because it's popular. I do it because that's what I'm interested in. If the vampire fad ever passes, I'll still be sitting here in my Dracula cape, getting my fang on.  I write erotic horror under the name T.K. Hardin.

Chapter One

I was sitting on the steps of the front porch, covered in werewolf blood, when Vlad and Max arrived. I noticed the house didn’t absorb any of Bruce’s blood. I couldn’t say I blamed it. Bruce was a miserable piece of shit who killed my best friend. Fortunately, I was able to bring her back to life, even if I had no idea how I’d done so.

Jesus, Max said. What happened?

Vlad knelt in front of me and began searching my body for injuries. Where are you hurt? he asked.

It’s not my blood, I answered softly.

She tore Bruce to pieces, Lori said, looking pleased.

Damn it, Vlad said fiercely. I’m sorry. We should have been here sooner. We were tracking Bruce in the woods near— He stopped abruptly and gave me a strange look. "Did she say you tore him apart?"

We were alone, I’d already emptied a clip into him, and I didn’t have any silver bullets.

Max sat beside me and took one of my blood-covered hands in his. What did you do? he said softly.

I drank the blood. I had no other way to defend us.

The part that I didn’t need to say out loud was, the blood carried a curse. A short while ago a woman named Elaina had showed up at my door with the vial of blood and a family history lesson. My ancestor, Oriana, was a witch who was unfortunate enough to marry a vampire. This vampire, Siegfried (who was also a legendary dragon slayer) bit her on their wedding night. Well, that really pissed her off. She invoked a curse that was meant to fuck him, saying that future generations (descended through her sister, Holly) would hunt down the very last of his bloodline and turn them all to dust. The problem is, Siegfried was already around two-thousand years old by that time and his bloodline was quite extensive. The blood that I drank was extracted from a master vampire, descended from Siegfried’s line, during a ritual. Drinking the blood is how the next vampire slayer claims their prize. Whoever drinks the blood will be the next vampire slayer for at least one hundred years. During that time you won’t age. You will have superior strength, speed, and who knows what other kinds of abilities. Unfortunately, drinking the blood also makes you infertile. I’d already come to the decision that I didn’t want children, but to have this become a reality for me was still unsettling.

It wasn’t a choice I made lightly. I needed the strength and speed to take down a werewolf. I looked up at Lori, standing behind Max. I couldn’t let him kill you again.

Her eyes filled with tears as she said, I know. Thank you.

Chapter Two

I looked at Max then and his aura had changed.

There is a warm, fuzzy, glowing sort of feeling I get from being close to you now, I said to him.

You didn’t get that before? he said suggestively.

Max is around six-foot-three with long, wavy brown hair, and a body that
