Beside the fire, in the comforting warmth of her home, Secret listens as Kane tells her not of his early history as a vampire, but that of the early history of vampires. There are vampires of mixed human ancestry who live and walk during the day, and whose true identity does not emerge until later in life.
And Secret realizes as she listens that her recent dizzy spells, craving for rare steak, blood test results that confuse doctors, and her unique psychic capacity to detect vampires are evidence of secrets to a hidden, inborn nature.
Earlier, hearing her tell stories of her orphaned childhood, Kane begins to connect the dots. She must not return to the doctor's office because her blood work is a secret unfit for the narrow confines of modern medicine. And as he realizes what she really is, he understands why he cannot fight being drawn to her the moment he first sensed her.
She is his mate. And he has to be there when she starts sleeping the sleep for the first time, or she will never wake into her own eternal night.

Secret had gone to sleep in Kane's arms the night before more relaxed than she had been in a very long time. Yes, her life was still about to drastically change, but it was okay now because she still had her best friend and she had the man that she had always dreamed she would find one day. Maybe life wasn't going to be so bad after all.
Just after midnight, Secret started to moan lightly in her sleep. Kane tightened his hold on her to try to calm her, but that only made her start to flail about while moaning louder.
“Secret,” Kane said quietly. “It's okay, my love. You're just dreaming. I am here, sweetheart. Everything is fine.”
As he held her and talked to her, it seemed as if her body was suddenly on fire. He didn't want to even hazard a guess as to what her body temperature was right then. Leaping up from the bed, he stretched her out on her back just as she began to go into a violent seizure.
What the hell? he thought.
There had rarely been humans that he couldn't help when it came to a physical malady but nothing he did seemed to stop whatever was attacking her.
All at once, it hit him like a wall of bricks. He knew exactly what was happening! The reason he hadn't spotted it instantly was because he had never been involved in anything like it.
Oh, God, he thought. She's changing.
