-Ronan Hale:
"What if you fall in love with a vampire?"
My heart stopped.
For a split second, my brain short-circuited, my body reacting before my mind caught up. My muscles tensed, my breath hitched, and before I could stop myself, I flinched—a quick, barely noticeable movement, but enough that Elara noticed.
I snapped my head toward her, my jaw clenched. "What?"
She tilted her head, watching me carefully. "Would you marry her? Would you be okay with it?"
I didn't answer. I just stared at her, my pulse pounding for some reason I didn't want to think about.
She was still watching me, her expression unreadable, like she was waiting for something.
I sat up fully, anger rising like fire in my veins. "No!" I snapped. "I'm a vampire hunter. I'm not gonna fall in love with a vampire. That's not possible."
