Chapter 2

     Was she really going through with this? Just a second ago, she seemed to comply with no hesitation, but she thought it over. Losing her vampire half didn't seem pleasant at the moment. It wasn't even about the power she'd lose— she was afraid of losing herself if she went through with this.

     "Taemin, stop. I can't. " He halted in front of her, smiling all-knowingly as he turned to face her.

     "I guess someone's not as tough as we all thought," He tried intimidating her with that damned smirk of his.
