From the Ashes (Force of Nature book 1)
“I knew he had his reasons at the time—vampires never do anything without a reason—but I happily accepted. I was homeless. I was naïve. And I was tired of watching my back.
My sob story isn't especially original; I was orphaned when I was about two and fell into the hands of the foster care system, where I stayed. The Department of Child and Family Services never could quite figure out why a perfectly healthy white toddler couldn't get adopted, but that seemed to be the case, leaving me with few... options. They also had no idea where I'd spent those first two years or who had cared for me. I was no help. I was far too young to remember.
To make up for whatever shortcomings had landed me in the system, I worked my ass off in school, doing all that I could to succeed both academically and socially. Though I excelled scholastically, I failed miserably at fitting in. I wasn't like them, and it was as if they could sense that somehow.
I was forever an outsider.
Until I wasn't.
When it came to light that I was something more than human, and that there was an entire community—an entire world—out there that was too, I cried joyous tears.MoreLess
