Dani never knew silence like this. Neither the sound of her breathing nor the beat of her heart passed through her ears. Her hand twitched. Instinctively, she reached upward towards the sky, through the dirt and dried leaves.

She rose in the moonlight, something other than she was before. Thirst clawed savagely at her insides and thundered through her. Need spiked. Pain flashed across her gums.

Bloodlust raged like an angry beast inside her. And she knew exactly how to slake that thirst.

After tonight, Trevor Wilks would never again leave a girl alone on the side of the road.
