Christos doesn't want the responsibility for the care of a human, no matter how alluring he is. And, with Dracul's unknown plans taking everyone's attention, there is no time for any distraction. But he can't stay away, and the trust this vulnerable human shows him is humbling. It also chips away at his resolve to stay alone. The final battle is gearing up, however, and Christos and Mateo are at ground zero. No matter how Christos tries to keep his boy safe, the fate of the world rests in both their hands.
