Incandescence

In a vampire monster's nest, the most dangerous attraction is the one that makes you human again. Alexander For forty-six years I've been the perfect blood slave, my rare blood feeding my vampire master. His drops keep me addicted, contented. Spellbound. Then Maya arrives, all defiance and desperate fury, and suddenly I remember what I used to be. She'll use anyone to escape our master's nest, including me, but I find myself helping her plan our freedom anyway, wondering if a man who's forgotten how to fight can learn to live again.
Maya Three days ago, I didn't believe in vampires. Now I'm trapped at the top of a building, imprisoned in our master's nest, watching his blood slave stare at me like I'm some kind of miracle. Alexander's been here forty-six years, turned into the perfect victim-beautiful, broken, and addicted to the very drops that keep him enslaved. I'll use him if I have to, because his rare blood makes him valuable and his decades of compliance make him invisible.
Together we might have a chance, if I can convince a man who's forgotten how to hope that some things are worth dying for.
