Cade Thain is a werewolf and an assassin for hire when it comes to offing vamps. Nearly tortured to death as a young child, Cade's motto is and always has been the only good vamp is a staked vamp. When the witch Elsa offers him a tidy sum to kill the vampiress Allison Gray, he sees no problem taking on the job.Allison Gray knows she's being hunted. Her witch friend told her where to run to seek a protector. That protector will make himself known to her when the time comes. When she finds herself in a spot of trouble in some dive of a bar, one man steps in to help her. She thinks he is the one sent to help her. Cade finally has his prey in his grasp - but she's still human, sort of. Unbeknownst to Allison, she is a pureblood (meaning she was never human but born as a vampire). It may be but a technicality, but Cade can't bring himself to kill her, even though he knows that she's on the cusp of her change. When another vampire tries to get to her, he protects her instead. He takes her to a safe house where he can keep an eye on her.The more enemies that show up to get Allison, the stronger his protective instincts become. Something about her draws him to her, makes him want her. Can Cade overcome his hatred for vampires and see that not all bloodsuckers are bad? Will Allison live long enough to see what her future might hold and where Cade fits into it?Another great, fast paced novella in the Bound series. I liked the big bad wolf and the vampire, who seemed more angelic than monster. Despite having been lied to and then betrayed, Allison shows that she has balls quite early on, and I do like a heroine that can be tough rather than a fraidy cat. Their passion was hot, and it was nice to see them fight as equals (much like the previous pairing) and protect each other.
