In the previous volumes, “My Favourite Nightmare” and “The Wolf Den”:Sarah Adams ran away from Inverness after discovering that the man she liked, Clyde Donovan, was a r****t. She moved to London where she ended up dancing in a stripclub, a place she would have gladly called a nightmare, if not for the real nightmare that ensued. She was kidnapped by two pale and frightening figures, who wanted to keep her as… as their... dinner. These two were, in fact, vampires.
Another vampire “saved” her. Adrian cured her and took her with him, asking her to work for him, as a… slave.
Being Adrian’s slave, Sarah soon discovered, isn’t all bad: he is handsome and lustful. He’s blood-thirsty, but he has some especially positive traits between the sheets.
Sarah thought she had reached some peace and quiet but the world in which she has found herself is not a peaceful one. Thanks to some secular conflicts with the wolves, she meets Harry Pierce, the leader of the British wolves. They feel an immediate attraction towards each other.
Harry looks like your average financial investor and doesn’t resemble a werewolf at all, but looks are deceiving. Very quickly Sarah finds out, that, against all logic, she finds Harry the most captivating man in the world, even if it is all down to chemistry. She can sense his pheromones, but the strange thing is, humans shouldn’t be able to.
One frenzied evening, Adrian and Harry wrangle over the situation, trying to find a solution between their two species. They share Sarah in bed that night but soon after Sarah experiences a seizure and she nearly dies.
She is saved by Adrian’s blood and Harry’s blood saves Adrian in turn.
A little while later, it becomes clear that that evening produced an unexpected result: Sarah is pregnant.
The father is obviously Harry, who is on cloud nine. In truth, procreating is extremely important for wolves and before this Harry believed he was sterile.
The vampire council is informed about the pregnancy as they need to agree whether Adrian should undergo several medical exams because his blood may have had a role in the conception.
Tyr, the very old albino vampire who’s the President of the council, is particularly interested in the matter.
Sarah begins to prepare herself for the birth but she is always torn between the two men in her life, Harry and Adrian. On the one hand, she loves Adrian and she wants to stay with him, on the other, Harry will be the father of her child.
When it comes to Adrian, the word “reasonable” doesn’t exist in his dictionary and he soon becomes jealous and suspicious of Sarah and Harry.
One evening Sarah quarrels with both men and she decides to distance herself from both of them.
But she soon encounters the Observers.
Not much is known about these humans; they have been observing wolves and vampires for centuries now. And they’re increasingly aggressive.
What they seem to want more than anything is the vampire healing factor, but they also seem interested in wolves.
Sarah is kidnapped and undergoes various humiliating tests.
Adrian and Harry also fall prey to the Observers while they try to free Sarah. While they are imprisoned, the three of them are forced to put aside their jealousies and misunderstandings and they must concentrate on survival.
In the end the “goodies” arrive, they are in fact a rescue expedition made up of both wolves and vampires, led by Tyr. They put an end to the imprisonment of Sarah and her two men and they destroy the laboratory.
The Observers, however, remain a threat and Tyr tells Sarah that vampires and wolves have decided to eradicate the Observers completely.
While another war is on its way, Sarah gives birth. Little Sean, her son, can transform into a wolf but this isn’t his only strange characteristic.
Sean, in fact, doesn’t drink milk like all other new-borns, but… instead he drinks blood.
