“But he—”

“Patience, Tati,” Zhuri cooed. “All in good time. You know it yourself,” she reminded, “you’ve waited for centuries. What’s another night more?” 

***

For centuries, Tatiana has watched the love of her life die and be born again. Each time, their love would be cut short by the ravages of time. However, time was never something that could dull her love for him. 

If need be, she would spend her entire immortal life looking for the man she loves. However, what will happen to that love when he is reborn as a werewolf— the natural enemy to her vampirism?

Bound by destiny yet cursed by society, Tatiana must convince the love of her life, Xander, that their love is stronger than centuries of war and hatred. But in a world where wolves and vampires hate each other, in a world where their union is an anomaly, will she choose love or will she give up? 

Will she fight for her love, or will she let destiny’s curse prevail again?

"What did you do to them, vampire?" Xander said disgustedly.

"What's wrong with you?” Tatiana asked angrily as she struggled under Xavier. “Do you now break and enter strangers’ houses just to assault them in your free time?” 

"I said,” Xander growled. “What. Did. You. Do to my wolves?"

"That's terrible. However, real talk, sister. What happened to you, and why do you look like you've been depressed longer than my whole life?" Zhuri said, taking the next tin of ice cream again. They were obsessed with it, and there was no denying that. 


"I just had a rough day. Tomorrow will be better," Tatiana said. 


"Okay, fine if you don't tell me. I have something to tell you. I know we're best friends and I should have said it earlier, but maybe if I tell you now, we can all be depressed together and wake up tomorrow to fight another day." 


"Whatever it is, it can't be as terrible as my day today. But bring it on, sis, " Tatiana laughed half-heartedly, and once again, Zhuri's heart broke for her best friend. She deserved better than this.
