Three
A prequel short story.
During the full moon the vampires gather to renew their bonds. It takes three, and those in groups have total power over those who are alone. Luc, alone since he was created, takes the full moon as a rare freedom. Hunting for blood that will satiate him for the month ahead, Luc finds instead a rival. Anders, a demon just as alone, with the same plan.
They choose the same prey: a handsome young man resistant to their supernatural charms. Neither a vampire’s glamour nor demon’s passion working, it becomes clear their only chance of success lies in the unthinkable: working together.
As Luc tastes blood and Anders devours soul, they gain a chance at something neither expected.
Freedom.
Originally appearing in Bold Strokes Books’s anthology Blood Sacraments, “Three” introduces the characters from ’Nathan Burgoine’s novel Triad Blood.
