Marked

18 year old Caitlin, abandoned by her family, enters a new school and feels an instant attraction to Jonah. But before their romance can blossom, Caitlin finds herself changing. She is overcome by a superhuman strength, a keen sense of smell, a tremendous power, and by feelings she does not understand. Her eyes are opened to a hidden world, and she, as an outcast, finds herself caught between a werewolf pack and a vampire world. And caught between two loves. Caleb, a mysterious and powerful vampire, rescues her from dark forces. He needs her help. And she needs him. But their love is forbidden. To fall in love would be to risk it all, to risk a war between races that could destroy them all. But it is a love that transcends time and place, a love too powerful to resist. A love that will force them to decide whether to risk it all for each other…

CHAPTER 33

I reached over and slipped my hand into Caleb’s arm. I hoped that he would let it sit there. He did. In fact, he tightened his arm around mine. Once again, everything felt OK. I felt that I could descend into the depths of darkness, as long as we were together.

Our footsteps echoed on the wide, stone staircase as we descended. It was dimly lit.

So many thoughts raced through my mind. What was this Council? Why had he insisted on taking me? And why did I feel so insistent on being at his side? I could have easily objected up there, told him that I didn’t want to go, that I’d rather wait upstairs. But I didn’t want to wait upstairs. I wanted to be with him. I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else.

None of it made any sense. At every turn, instead of getting answers, all I got were new questions. Who were all those people upstairs? Were they really vampires? What were they doing here? In the Cloisters?
