The First Epistle

[Trisha Volkov]

I felt Christian's arms tighten around me as we broke our hug. I looked into his blue eyes and saw a mix of relief, joy, and pain. He had been searching for me for weeks, ever since I was kidnapped by the vampires. He had no idea what I had gone through, or what I had done to get back to him.

"Trisha, I'm so glad you're back. You have no idea how much I missed you." He whispered in my ear, his breath warm on my neck.

"I missed you too, Christian. So much." I said, trying to sound sincere. I did miss him, but I am also missing Shadow. The vampire prince who had saved my life, and whose father had asked me to spy on the werewolves for him. The one who held the fate of my best friend Binnie in his hands.
