Vampire (Alpha Claim 3) (Brief-Bites Novelette)

Narah Adrienne is a scant twenty hours from her sentence of three lashes. But first she must meet Marc, her liaison with the illegal underground. He might have the fix for her mysterious medical condition.



But Marc's solutions come with questions attached—and at a cost too high to pay. Now that Narah understands her bounty target is really a Hunter assigned to commit a part of her to death, she must make the best choice among terrible options.



Narah narrowly escapes capture as Hunter and Turner collide in their pursuit of her. Does she allow Aeslin to turn her into the vampire she is on the verge of becoming, and submit to an uncertain future? Or does she choose to live with the knowledge that she'll never be anything but human by the hand of the Hunter.



Worse of all, if Narah does not make her hearing the sentence will worsen. Either way, she could die.



Only one man can save her and technically, he's not human.



Vampire is 55+ pages/12,000 words, and is the third volume of episodic novelettes in the ALPHA CLAIM serial.
