"I thought about it and came to the conclusion that you need my help." 

"I need nothing from you," she said through clenched teeth, and pushed him out of the way. 

Ariana Mann, a part Vampire, born into a powerful Vampire-Otsukii family, struggles with her power and bloodlust, a side effect of having an alternate personality. As a means to subdue her powers so as not to cause harm to anyone, she willingly lets herself be bullied. Well, not until her Knight in shining armor comes along; or so, she thought. 

Brandon Daniels has never in his life met someone as spineless and weak as Ariana. Her inability to stand up for herself baffles him, but that isn't the only thing about her that does. He isn't sure what draws him to her: her stupidity, timidity or the unknown power she thinks she hides so well. 

She seems hopeless, but giving up on her is out of the question until he finds out why he is so drawn to her. With anger and despair, a dark flame is born within her that only he can tame, but can he save someone who doesn't want to be saved?

Taming The Ruthless Hybrid

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Richie muttered. 


"I didn't get what you said," Brandon said as he advanced towards them. "But it doesn't even matter, does it?" 


"What the hell do you want from us? Are you now her bodyguard or something?" Stanley asked him. 


Brandon cracked his knuckles. "What I want from you is to know why you keep bothering the girl. Do you seek superiority so much that you will also crave to torment another person?" he asked. Disgust was etched all over his face. 


Brandon's fist collided with Richie's jaw in response to his order. "Nobody, and I mean nobody orders me around," Brandon said. The other two boys barely got away from him. Richie tried getting up but the other boy held him down and beat the life out of him. 


Ariana stood there, unsure of what to do. 'Should I leave this scene or should I stay and thank him for standing up for me?' she asked herself. While she was still in a state of confusion, a shadow engulfed hers.
