Everyone of my family members had managed to find and have their happily ever after. Everyone but me that is. My name is Liam Madison. I am a Hybrid; half vampire and half werewolf. I watched as one by one my siblings found their mate or their beloved as the case was.

Even my own mother had both a wolf mate and a beloved and had a happily ever after with both. I however never seemed to connect with either. Finally after being alone for so long I was driven to depression and the inability to socialize with my loved one any longer. I moved away from home to a place I believed no one would ever come looking for me.

I was immortal and incapable of dying. I was even more indestructible then a regular vampire. While there are relatively few ways to kill a vampire such as beheading, removing their heart or poisoning them with werewolf blood, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I can not die by any of those methods.

I came to Miami with one goal in mind, to find a way to put my mind to rest for a long time. I chose the house in the middle of no where with the intention of sitting in a chair and not moving for many years to come. I had a theory that if I failed to eat or drink eventually I would become lethargic and fall into a comatose state.

I'm not sure how long I had been sitting in the chair when I started to hear scratching at the back door. It sounded like a wild animal ripping its way through the rotted old wood that hung poorly over the back entrance.

Then I heard long nails scrape over the old ceramic tiles that coated the shabby little kitchen area. The I caught a whiff of her lavender and cherry blossom scent. I felt my soul begin to tingle and my wolf sparked to life within me as both my soul and my wolf said in unison MINE.
