Beloved

Forbidden fruit is the sweetest of all, but sometimes it's better left alone...

Passion. It was the thing - the emotion - that compelled you toward what you desired. When passion called you, you had no choice but to listen and obey. Obey and become it's slave.

I wanted Brooke. I desired her. I craved her and wanted her to be mine. Forever.

But danger was on the horizon. Danger for her and for me. Danger I wasn't sure I could stop.

I was a vampire, and she was the human I knew I should leave alone. I needed to forget her. I just wished I knew how.
