A young man who believes rules aren't meant for him. A by the book law enforcer. An interrogation gone wrong puts them in each other's paths.
Half-shifter, half-vampire, Alec doesn't really feel he fits in with either species. He likes to use his lo...
On April 19 (my birthday!), I'll be answering questions about my blog. If there's anything you want to ask about it - or blogging in general - you can leave a comment here or send me a PM.

Alec:I'm about to do something stupid.
Vika:What?
Alec:Don't want to talk about it. Just giving you a heads up.
Vika:Alright. Call me if you change your mind.
Vika:Or need me to bring over body bags.
I was sitting on my couch, phone in hand and staring at the last messages my cousin had sent me with my eyebrows drawn together. I hadn't changed my mind about not wanting to talk about it. As for doing it in the first place...
No.
No changes there either. I was still planning to do it. It would give me an answer on whether I could depend - to a certain extent - on Adrian.
Then why did I keep postponing it?
It'd been almost a week since he'd shown me the alcove and I didn't even have to wait for his next day off; he walked Bear every night. Granted, I didn't know when he'd stop by that particular spot and it was dangerous to just wait for him there; I didn't mind the possibility of an adult seeing me naked, but what if some kids who'd snuck out of home ran into me instead?
If I was one of those kids, I wouldn't have cared I saw a guy in his birthday suit in the park, but I'd never been your average kid. I was taught to never show I'd been caught off guard, so I'd probably make a jab at the dude. Perhaps pointedly check him out and make a comment about his dick.
Besides, I didn't need to get naked until I heard Adrian and Bear approach.
I briefly wondered how Bear would react, but my mind soon returned to Adrian.
Ian.
But we weren't friends, so 'Adrian' would do.
But what if he did pass my test? Could we be friends then?
And what if he didn't?
Chills ran all over my body, my mouth falling open as I finally realized why I'd been postponing the test.
I was scared Adrian would fail.
I was scared that I'd be disappointed and would have to stay away from him.
When had I become attached to this man?
Getting closer to him was supposed to be for amusement, a way to pass some time. Now I had him often on my mind and I hoped he would succeed in the challenge I presented him with because I wanted to spend more time with him.
