Jenna stared down at the baby suckling at her breast. A weary smile curved her pale lips, a mixture of pride and love and exhaustion all jumbled together as she felt the gentle tug of her child nursing hungrily.
But as she watched him, darker emotions cracked through the haze fogging her brain. Confusion. Terror. Memory broke through, but too late. She'd never had a baby, never even been pregnant.
Weak, Jenna melted back into the rocking chair. She cringed as the child's teeth sank deeper into her skin, draining more than mother's milk.
