The Kindred: Hacix by Sinister Styx & Naomi Valkyrie

I've made some bad choices in my life, but the worst one just walked through the door.

Every time I think my life is getting settled, the demon who stole my soul shows up turning everything upside down. I'd give him the permanent boot, except we're Fated. Even so, he's a bad habit I need to quit.

Except this time he needs my help to save someone. And against my better judgment, knowing he's going to make me use the powers I've kept suppressed, I agree to be his backup against a nest of rogue vampires.

He's the devil on my shoulder. He's stolen my soul. Will he finally tempt me into giving him my heart?

A quick read short story for a bite-sized reading escape!
