Leave it to me to bite the first guy who was nice to me.
Adjusting to the Marked Blood Academy is going about as well as I dreaded. Call it what they may, it is more of a prison, maybe like a juvenile facility, although we are all young adults, than an “academy.” And I have my experience at The Urban Academy to compare it to.
Back then, I thought I was unhappy. I didn’t quite fit in, never had a group of friends to hang out with, and everyone seemed to pair up—or harem up. Sometimes it felt like a romance...

Back then, I thought I was unhappy. I didn’t quite fit in, never had a group of friends to hang out with, and everyone seemed to pair up—or harem up. Sometimes it felt like a romance academy. Not for me. I never felt the least bit of attraction to anyone anyway. But there is not one but three guys my wolf is doing growly backflips over. This is not the time to be fooling around.
Especially with what I just discovered in the shower.
We are here because we are a danger to the community. We have all been bitten by vampires in battle or elsewhere and not turned or died. Most of us got very sick for a while, but the powers that be are afraid we could turn at any time.
If this is such a safe place, how did a new vampire bite appear on my belly? Definitely not the time to be interested in romance. This is a battle for survival.
The First Year Continued is the second in the Marked Blood Academy series. When a whole new type of vampires descends upon the world, none of the rules apply. In the past, you died or were changed, but now some young people do neither…so far. And those victims are a wild card who the councils decide must be segregated from the rest. Nothing the headmistress of Urban Academy or any of the other schools sways the council. The students bear the marks, the stain, the shame of something they had no control over and are imprisoned without benefit of trial. None of the rules for their protection apply.
