Diary of a Vampeen (42 page)

As for Mike, he was the one that
changed. A tiny part of me wondered if he would ever threaten me
again, but my intuition informed me that I’d be prepared for him if
he tried. Krav Maga master or not, I’m a vampeen – one step above a
human, one up on a vampire in the realm of humanity and control. I
don’t self-destruct on instinct; mental clarity leaves me pure. I
don’t mind a mental block on blood or humans; in fact, I’ve
embraced it as a gift. I will never feel like an alcoholic who
loses control when a bottle of scotch is opened nearby.

The royal cake topper of all I’d been
bestowed was Kellan. Reading, living through the character
experiences in my books and fairytales I’d read, they all painted
love mildly in comparison to what I shared with him. Many times the
heroines, the leading ladies, love and lose or love without
reciprocation, yet I had been blessed by God – Yes a vampire,
vampeen, immortal can be blessed by God.

I have discovered that we are
treasured above all others by Him, or at least I like to view it
this way. I’m not speaking in an effort of favoritism, but rather
in creation. We are the closest to his exact likeness. We bear his
physical resemblance, as humans do; but we are exact in other
realms of comparison beyond what any human could fathom
possible.

We are infinite in lifespan should we
live admirably; though He bore no creation, no manifestation, we
are offered the same forever as He holds dear. We run at optimum
speed, have the strength of the strongest predator; both of which
are every soldier and athlete’s prime goal of attainment. He allows
us the enhanced senses He used to make the earth; we are the ones
who enjoy all of its glory from hearing the tiny spring of a
grasshopper to seeing through the cocoon at a butterfly’s
transformation with our enhanced vision. We are given the ability
to wipe out nations with our muscle, yet are taught to roam idly
with compassion for humans; warned against mass man-slaughter
despite our feeding habits.

Above all else, the greatest proof of
choice by God I’ve confirmed through Kellan. Humans are limited to
love in one lifetime, yet vampires and vampeens alike are granted
love for eternity, the same length He embraces us for.

“Look,” Kellan returned me to my
reality with a pointed finger towards the ocean’s infinite horizon.
The sun’s beauty was rising to greet us with a rainbow of colors
announcing its arrival.

“It’s beautiful,” I smiled.

“As are you,” he grinned baring his
irresistible dimple.

I watched the sun rise in the
reflection of his bright green eyes, reliving the last three weeks
in three minutes knowing it would seem like three seconds in my
eternity.

Dear Reader,

Thank you for purchasing this book.
Hopefully you grew to love Lexi as much as I did and do throughout
her journey. Life is certainly unpredictable, but it’s our
reactions that determine whether the situation overwhelms us or
not.

Presently, I’m working on the second
installment of Lexi and Kellan’s journey. Diary of a Vampeen: Vamp
Yourself for War will hopefully be out soon.
