Relentless: A Vampire King's Desire
Christine Gray - 2016
For the last six years he has hungered for Georgian, the savior of his clan and the woman that would become his Queen. “So, what’s the mission?” Inquired Levi with a loud sigh. Colin smiled. He handed him a black folder. “It’s simple. You need you to watch the girl in the file…get close to her, and bring her to us,” answered Colin. “You want me to kidnap her. Why? Did she see something, or you want to drink her blood?” Grumbled Levi while he flipped through the file. The fact that the woman in question was a stunning African American wasn’t lost on him. He pulled out a picture that had been taken at a great distance with a high powered camera. The woman had her head tossed back in laughter. Her natural hair was being swept by the wind. The sunlight was hitting it just right to bring out the natural brown tint within the thick locks. Levi didn’t like the fact that they still hadn’t answered his question about the woman. “Is she human?” he pressed. “To a point, yes,” answered Colin. “Then why do you want her?” Levi asked again, this time a bit more firmly. “Because,” smiled Grayson as he scooped up the same photo Levi had just been admiring a few seconds earlier. “She’s going to become my wife.” He bit his bottom lip and moaned. “And I can’t fuckin wait.” 27-year-old Georgian had no clue that as she struggled to keep herself together after the loss of both her mother, and later grandmother, the pale blue eyes of the Vampire King had been watching her with a deep desire that now, no longer would be denied.
