Burned Once, Twice…

Fiction gives us the second chances that life denies us.

Paul Theroux

Chapter One

Faith Bliss stood on the balcony staring out at the lush green grounds of her friend Maria’s new home, but not really seeing much, her mind a whirlwind of activity. The first time she actually felt safe to relax for a few days before she would take off again to hide.

She, Sandy, and Lori had all flown in to help Maria plan her wedding ball. None of them had known of the recent attack. Hearing there were vampires and other species around hadn’t really shocked her, especially since her first husband was a demon.

She took a drink of iced tea and grinned. If anyone deserved a second chance, it was Maria. After her jerk of a husband had fucked Red, one of their so-called best friends, it had nearly destroyed Maria. Sandy and Lori had had to hold Faith back, she’d been so furious. A friend shouldn’t hurt another. Their friend’s behavior toward Maria was the lowest kind of thing to do.

Too bad it wasn’t in her cards to start over, even though Faith didn’t know if she could handle starting over for the third time. Faith could only see death in her future. Her only regret was not finding her daughter, Wynter.

Each of her friends had a sad story as well. Maybe women who have been screwed in their lives formed bonds quicker, who the hell knew? Her life had been a disaster even in high school; some cheerleader she was, getting pregnant by the quarterback who was also supposed to be a good friend.

Hope you’re safe, Wynter. Hope you’re safe, Faith whispered, thinking of the child she had given up so long ago along with a small piece of her heart.

She closed her eyes, the wind blowing was like a caress on her skin. Faith loved the outside, nature. After this, she had plans to hit Las Vegas and couldn’t wait to tour the Grand Canyon.

The smell of cinnamon and evergreen drifted to her. Faith opened her eyes searching around trying to figure out where the strong scent was coming from. The grounds offering nothing, she slowly circled around to stare into the house, but nothing. Only one other time had she smelled anything like that. The night Faith had almost died at the hands of her psycho ex number two.

If it hadn’t been for that man, or whatever species he was, Faith would not be standing here. Thank you, she whispered, hoping the man heard her.

An unseen hand cupped her cheek gently, his thumb brushing over her bottom lip right before her body exploded with pleasure.

Oh my. She spun around towards the backyard, holding onto the railing, her first orgasm in years rolling over her. Even her first husband had never given her pleasure like this.

Wow, thank you. She closed her eyes and rested her chin on her chest, enjoying every tingle coursing through her.

But then she remembered what had happened to her friend. Her head snapped up, and Faith cussed. The same thing had happened to Maria when her man, Alexander, had come to her. Had Faith also been chosen?

Am I yours? No, that can’t be right. I’m going to die, she whispered, wiping her sweaty palm on her jeans. She reached up and grabbed her drink gulping it down quickly, needing something, wishing it were something stronger.

Faith, you out here? Maria yelled behind her.

Faith took a breath, smiling at her friend, but Maria gasped.

Oh my, Faith. Are you okay? She took a small step and stopped. Alexander! Maria yelled, and at once he was there, along with about twenty men surrounding them.

What? What’s wrong? He scanned around then his gaze captured Faith’s and he grinned. Who? he asked, confirming what she believed.

I don’t know, she said. Please don’t let it be another psycho. Listen, it was nothing. I’m sure I’m just having one of those old age moments, hot flashes and mood swings at the same time. Faith tucked her blondish-gray hair behind her ear.

I know I promised you some fun. You, Mr. Hot Stuff, are going to have to back away and allow us to have a girls’ night out. I’ve already arranged the private suite at Zero, here in town. It’s supposed to be the hottest dance club around this neck of the woods, and I’ll not have any of you messing up my plans. It’s only once in a lifetime your best friend is changed, becoming a bloodsucker, plus getting married.

Alexander moaned and shook his head. Only your friends could be as troublesome as you, my dear, he stated, but she knew he was watching her, checking to make sure she was okay.

Alexander was very protective of Maria and her friends, which was weird since he included her and no one else ever worried about her.

Lori, Sandy, get your dancing outfits on, the sleazy ones that mean we’re going to get laid tonight, and meet me at the door. Faith grinned from ear to ear when Alexander stepped in front of her, growling.

Oh no you don’t! I will not have any man’s hands all over my future wife! They’ll die first. A small vein in his neck throbbed.

Faith laughed and moved around him. Maria, wear your sexiest outfit and, Alexander, think of the fun you’ll have tonight when we get back, punishing her. Don’t think I didn’t notice the paddles and toys in your ‘extra room.’ Faith raised her fingers in air quotes.

She laid her hand on his arm and ripped it away fast, hearing what had to be another growl. I would never allow anyone else to hurt Maria. I’ve never seen her happier. But this is her bachelorette party, so give us some leeway. Where is Tara?

Cain stepped in front of Maria’s daughter. She is not going!

Oh yes I am. Now move it, wolf boy, or lose it, Tara slapped him on the arm and stepped around him, grinning. I’ve already got Mom’s clothes and mine all picked out, Faith. We’ll meet you at the door in about thirty minutes.

Alexander stepped in front of Faith, his full attention on her. I know one of my kind has placed his mark on you, so be careful, wild one. I heard the snarl, and we don’t share well.

Faith shrugged. He might have marked me, but I’m my own person, Alexander. After, well…let’s say the guy who bugged Maria had nothing on the ones in my past. Always live as it was my last day. She held her hand up before he could speak again. "But I’ll also protect those around
