A Storm of Dark Creatures
4.

Izumi knows about werewolves. As a vampire herself, she needs to keep up to date on the supernatural population of Japan. And she knows that, when werewolves pick a mate, they'll move heaven and earth for them.

She's just not sure how she's wound up with one. Was accepting that chocolate some sort of engagement promise? Part of her wanted to rewind so she could make sure not to this time around – but watching him tackle the other vampire also made her a little warm inside.

Vampires are lonely creatures by nature, and only the strong and independent survive. No-one will fight for her, and she fights for no-one.

And yet here is someone – someone she barely knows – fighting for her.

Though he's getting pretty beat up. Not used to fighting vampires, apparently: nimble rather than packed with brute force.

Well, it's only fair she cuts in. It's her fight to begin with and yet she's the only one still looking human.
