Kiss The Dark

Sold into marriage to a reclusive man. Megan is dragged to a clandestine midnight ceremony and delivered to Gabriel North. Megan must spend 30 days married to Mr. North before she may finally be free forever. The only problem is that he marries every year only to annul the marriage and his brides are never heard from again. No one knows anything about him except that he is extraordinarily wealthy, and he has an estate high on the mountain above the city that no one is brave enough to visit. Before this Megan Steele had the perfect life. She was a wealthy heiress from a prominent family. Her days were filled with family, travel, parties, and society. Expected to marry at eighteen but unable to bear the thought of leaving her perfect life she turned down one offer of marriage after another. Four years and four suitors rejected, Megan has been proposed to for a fifth time. The suitor is the son of her father's investment partner. Megan made a fatal error with this refusal and placed her desire for freedom above her father's company. She finds herself sold into a forced marriage to Mr. Gabriel North to recoup her father's investment funds. More than that though, Megan swears there is something dark about Mr. North, something dangerous, something otherworldly. Where is the staff that keeps caring for them? How does his house keep changing? Why did his friend call him sire?

The Test

"Everyone is so excited to meet you but that will have to wait. We are on a timeline. It is only your grief allowing you to sleep deeply enough to give you this time with us." Ali said. 

"I'm asleep?" Megan asked and the women nodded at her. 

"Next you must learn to walk so quietly not even you can hear your steps. Follow me." Ren showed her how to walk and had her try it multiple times before instructing her to practice constantly. Ali told her the shoes that came with her Regata armor would help. When Megan asked about the armor Ren told her it had already been given to Mim to hang in her closet so it would be available when she needed it. 

"Next, we must test your instincts, Megan. Turn toward me." Ali walked out in front of Megan in a clear space and pulled her sword. "Megan close your eyes and prepare to fight. Your Regata instincts will guide you."
