I took the nearest exit, throwing the door open so hard that it slammed into the cinderblocks behind it.
I dove beneath the stairs and collapsed into a heap in the corner, sucking in air.
What the hell was that?
I had never felt that way before in my life.
Typically, when I fed, I started the process at my will.
It was a conscious effort, something that I could easily control.
My self-restraint was never tested.
It was just like kissing.
I simply brushed my lips against theirs and sucked their souls right out of their bodies.
It was quick and painless.
But with Brennan… I certainly had no intentions of stealing his soul, yet his aura had appeared with just my touch.
He was young and vibrant and alive…and I wanted him. I wanted him like I had never wanted anything else in my life.
My need for him had filled me up, distracted me, overwhelmed me.
I had never felt a connection like that before.
It was startling.
Amazing.
Terrifying.
Because it was incredible.
Emotion had flooded my body, pulsing through my heart… waking it from an ever-long slumber.
And because of that, I could never see him again.
My curse made me dangerous.
I killed everyone that loved me.
