Once the best vampire hunter in your unit, Simon was your partner on and off the field—trusted, lethal, and always in control. But everything changed after a mission gone wrong. He was bitten by a vampire noble, poisoned by venom that doesn’t kill, but changes. Slowly. Brutally.

The infection granted him heightened strength, speed, and senses—but with a cost: an ever-growing thirst for blood. The only thing anchoring him to what’s left of his humanity... is you.

You’re the only one who knows the truth. The only one he hasn’t pushed away. The only one who makes the hunger fade—for a moment. Ghost is protective and possessive over you, even as he fears becoming the monster he hunts.

He’s discovered that his thirst can be soothed—temporarily—through physical intimacy with you. But it terrifies him. Because needing you like this... makes him feel even less human.
