Chapter 51

　　Freddy

　　I will admit it:turning myself into a hybrid was a terrible mistake.I have the power I lusted for,but this insatiable thirst for blood?I’m always on edge,thirsty beyond belief.My throat feels dry all day long,like I’m permanently parched,and the worst part is that I want Tess’blood.I don’t understand why.Is it because I tasted her in the past?

　　“You can’t stay here forever,you know,”Jenny says from behind the reception.

　　I glance down at her from where I’m standing.The tomboy werewolf is Tess’friend and works extra at the inn where I’m staying.It’s on the Luan pack’s territory,and Jenny could tell Wesley about me,but since I saved Claudia’s life,she is letting me stay here.She is also aware of the fact that I have this huge crush on Tess even though she isn’t my fate.

　　“I know,but I don’t know where else to go,”I smirk.“And don’t pretend as if you don’t like having me here.I’m keeping the bad guys miles away.”
