Lucian looked at Nikolas. "You're in pain and I know that even regardless, you will try to save her. But, Nikolas, you're very weak under the sun, meaning you're like an average human right now. Do you know what will happen if you attempt to save her?"
He took the pistol from one of the vampires, aiming it at Viviana's forehead. "I'll blow her brains out. So, don't even think about it. You'll only just be making things worse for yourself."
"And as for you?" He squatted down and grabbed Viviana harshly by the chin. "You'll do whatever I want."
Viviana rapidly nodded her head. "I will. I-I will. Please just let him go."
"Hm." Fernando stroked his jaw thoughtfully. "What if I say I want you to belong to me completely? You'd have to severe whatever you have with him. Are you willing?"
Viviana froze up.
Nikolas shouted at her. "Don't you dare! Don't you dare do such a thing, Viviana. You belong to me! You are mine and mine alone, and it's going to be ugly if you try it."
