Originally Human
by Eileen Wilks

This short story is set in the same world as ONLY HUMAN, but the hero and heroine of this one are even more unusual. Take Molly, for example. She doesn’t look her age, which her driver’s license claims is fifty. In fact, Molly has not-so-fond memories of turn-of-the-century London—the turn of the nineteenth century, that is. But that’s because Molly is a succubus. “Not a demon,” she insists. “I’m cursed, not demonic.”

When Molly stumbles across a gorgeous young man with a faulty memory who’s being chased by some very scary folks, she can’t resist giving him a helping hand. But he’s no more what he seems than she is. They have to solve the riddle of his origin before his past—or hers—catches up with them.

Originally published July 2004 in the mass market paperback anthology, CRAVINGS.

Eileen Wilks' Bio

Eileen Wilks is the NYT best-selling author of over thirty books and novellas, including her World of the Lupi series. A multiple RITA finalist and recipient of a Romantic Times Career Achievement Award, she’s currently hard at work on the tenth book in the series, RITUAL MAGIC.

Eileen came to writing the usual way: by reading compulsively and daydreaming a lot. She likes quilting, dark matter, chocolate, books on brain science, yoga (even though she's not good at it), and painting things—walls, boxes, furniture, floors, even canvases sometimes . . . but not the cats. The cats do not wish to be painted.
