"Do not fear, little wolf," he whispered. "I will make it quick… and painless."
The Bloodveil vials should keep him from detecting anything odd in my blood—but what would happen if he tasted it? What would he see?
Lord Val said that he couldn't contain himself once he tasted my blood. What of this vampire then?!
He's Lord Val's enemy right? That makes him my enemy too!
I tried to shove him away—but my body wouldn't move. My limbs refused to obey. Not even a twitch.
It was like invisible chains held me in place.
His doing!
This was bad.
This was so, so bad.
His fangs pressed harder, just breaking the skin—enough for a single drop of warmth to rise.
Lord Val, help—
"What do you think you are doing, Lord Valtheris?"
He stopped.
The puncture on my neck burned as air touched it, and suddenly I could breathe again. My knees buckled, and I collapsed onto the cold marble floor, trembling uncontrollably.
D-did he… taste it?
