Character Biography - Kristina

Kristina is a werewolf on the run from her pack because her alpha decided he wanted her to bear his child, and he wasn't about to give her any choice in the matter.

She is a strong, fiercely independent woman who will bow to no one, but she has deep-rooted fears too, and it's those fears that keep her from connecting to anyone on a more intimate level.

A courageous werewolf, she has spunk and determination, and likes to toy with males. When she found herself in the city of romance and being silently pursued in the nightclubs, Kristina thought that it was her alpha's doing, but her admirer turned out to be a tall, dark and dead sexy vampire, and rather than despise the feel of his eyes on her, she craved it with a ferocity that astounded her. Always willing to go against convention, Kristina turned the tables on Callum and brought the seductive vampire to his knees.

Character Interview

This interview took place on January 26th 2013, at Vampirerotique in London, UK

Felicity:: I have Kristina here with me today to talk about her book, Crave. Firstly, can you tell us a little about yourself?
Kristina:: Callum said that you’ve already interviewed him, so I’m guessing he already mentioned that I have a tendency to go all furry and bite? I’m a werewolf, and while I’m from Britain and still live in London, I’m no longer affiliated with any pack. I’ve left my pack behind me and I have no intention of returning, especially now that I’m married to a vampire. I don’t think that would go down well at all!
Felicity:: Yes, Callum mentioned you were a werewolf during my interview with him. Several times, in fact. You met him in your story, Crave. How did you meet and how did you feel about him initially?
Kristina:: He stalked me. Seriously. I was on the run from my pack and the total dick of an alpha. He wanted me to lay back and bear his cubs, and I wasn’t having any of that, so I made a break for it. I’d managed to reach Paris and was feeling a little safer, and a little lonely. Werewolves run in packs because we’re social creatures and a lone wolf is a lonely wolf. I hated my alpha, but I missed being with my friends and other wolves. So, I went to a few clubs where I had found out werewolves went and mingled with humans, amongst other species. I think he might have been watching me for longer than I realised, but as soon as I recognised Callum was always there and his eyes were always on me… well… every instinct I had, both as a woman and a werewolf, lit up. Of course, they conflicted with each other, and I found myself subconsciously flirting with guys in front of him while at the same time trying to give him the slip. It was very strange. As a werewolf, it’s difficult to ignore my baser instinct to protect myself and defend against vampires.
Felicity:: But that’s just because you’ve been raised by werewolves who have told you that loving a vampire is forbidden, just as Callum was raised by vampires who said the same thing about werewolves. It must have made your relationship difficult for you at first.
Kristina:: Extremely. Like I said, I was torn between wanting to tease him and bring him to his knees, and wanting to keep running. I think the keep running instinct was because I had originally thought he was sent by my alpha to capture me… and then I realised he was a vampire, and I really wasn’t sure whether to feel relieved or even more frightened. In the end, I couldn’t take his eyes on me any longer. It was torture to have him watching me and feel the heat of his gaze, its intensity, and not do anything about it. I made him buy me a drink and I swear to god he was shocked to see me standing there, as though he had been subtle about his staring. Hello, werewolf? I could sense him tracking me… but hell, I didn’t need to… he wasn’t exactly subtle with his staring.
Felicity:: *laughs* I don’t think Callum can do subtle. What happened after that?
Kristina:: I made the mistake of letting him kiss me. God, it was leg-melting, thigh-quivering good and I knew I was done for. I tried to make a break for it, my self-preservation instinct telling me to get out while I still could and was still in one piece, heart intact. I knew that if I let it go beyond a single mind-blowing kiss that I wouldn’t be able to let him go. Callum just doesn’t know when to give up though, and part of me is glad of that fact because he saved me from a little bit of trouble with some bonehead werewolves.
Felicity:: It’s not the only time that Callum has saved your fur. How has life been since the events that happened and brought you together?
Kristina:: A little difficult. I know that things have been hard for Callum, not just because he fell in love with me… a werewolf… and he’s a vampire. I’ve put a lot of pressure on him and I think he feels torn between the theatre and his friends, and me at times. I don’t want to pull him in two different directions. I want him to be happy, so I decided to move out of the hotel and into the theatre. I know it’s the safest place for me and Callum just wants to protect me. I’ve forgiven the vampires for what happened to me and I know it wasn’t their fault. I’m still a little nervous about being in a place full of vampires… but all the new additions to the theatre have made the place a riot.
Felicity:: It most certainly is! You, Lilah, Sera, Chica and Elissa together will drive the boys crazy. We just need Snow to find himself a mischievous heroine now. Your story, Crave, is a book in a series. Can you tell us a little about the series and can we expect to see more of you in other stories in this series?
Kristina:: I’m hopeful that I’ll make an appearance again, especially now that I’ve moved into the theatre. My being there has already lessened the pressure on Callum and removed a lot of the stress he was feeling, but he’s still at the end of his tether most days.
Felicity:: I can imagine he is stressed. Whenever he pops up in the books, he’s either on the verge of tearing his hair out or he’s cracking jokes.
Kristina:: Watch out for the cracking jokes. I’ve learned it’s what he does when he’s really stressed out and normally he’s one laugh away from insanity.
Felicity:: Oh… then I think you need to de-stress the vampire before he explodes. *smiles* To round things off, can you describe yourself in one word?
Kristina:: Insane. *laughs* I must be. I fell in love with and married a vampire!
Felicity:: *laughs with her* True, but I think that just makes you a believer in true love, rather than crazy. We’ll leave crazy to Callum. Thank you for meeting with me today and chatting.
Kristina:: Thank you for interviewing me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go de-stress that vampire of mine just as you said.
Felicity:: I look forward to seeing you around Vampirerotique, causing trouble with the girls!
