Tabitha didn't know why
she couldn't control herself in class. Sebastian hadn't tried to kill her or

Rule number two of
being a vampire hunter: Keep the secret.
No one, no one could know that vampires

– who were as much hunter royalty as Tabitha's family. Surprisingly, there were
quite a few vampire hunters in their small town. For some reason Tabitha
couldn't fathom, the Carters' ancestors had decided to make Rosewood their base
of operations. Where they had settled and created the headquarters for the
Moirai, the secret, worldwide hunter organization. Since then, hunters from all
over the world came and lived there, drawn to the place.

the adrenaline rushing through her system, urging her to kill. He'd snuck past
her last night and then today in class. How had she not sensed his vampirism to

She focused on her
reflection, inhaling one more deep breath. Tabitha wiped her face dry before
heading back toward class. Control. She needed to control herself. Tabitha kept

her an amused smirk that didn't reach his narrowed eyes.
