She wasn’t aware of this plan prior to getting involved with Anders. She was only thinking about whathecould do forher. Not the other way around. She will stop at nothing now to get rid of Savannah.
“How do I know that?” he asks with a shrug. “You could be a barren bitch for all I know.”
“Ah!” Ambrosia gasps in horror and tries to slap him across the face.
He wrestles with her as she has gone completely feral on him.
“Enough!” he roars and backhands her hard across the face before he grabs her throat and holds her up to his face. “You are here atmypleasure, bitch. Do not presume that your place here is a given. I am tiring of your dramatics. You have a pretty face and a pure Dark bloodline so I’m happy to have you as my wife.Oneof my wives. I will take another, and you will accept it with a smile on that pretty face or I will lock you up in the dungeons and only fuck you when I see fit to create a child.” He huffs and throws her back to the bed. “Now open up your fucking legs, bitch. I want a wet pussy to stick my dick into.”
“N-No,” Ambrosia whimpers and I feel it my duty as a decent member of society to intervene, but where would that leave me?
Dead. That’s where, and what good will I be to the woman I love if I died trying to protect a woman that I loathe?
I don’t wait to find out if he rapes her or not. I straighten up and leap over the balcony and back onto the wall. I have to get back to Savannah and the other men to tell them what I’ve learned.
The guilt hits me as I hear her scream, but then she laughs and looking back over my shoulder, I see sparks of magick flying out of the windows.
Anders’s rumble of laughter joins in with hers and in whatever sick way they’ve made up, at least I can leave here guilt-free.
I head into the trees and my stomach rumbles loudly again, protesting severely at the lack of blood.
I start to run, determined to find an animal I can feed on before I return to Savvie. I will be less than useless if I starve myself much longer.
I race through the brush, silently and quickly and then come to a halt in a clearing with a small lake. On the shores is the most beautiful creature that I have ever seen. A black unicorn looks up at me and gives me a quizzical look.
I hold my hands up slightly to show it that it doesn’t need to fear me. I wouldn’t feed from it in a million years.
I step back in surprise as it Shifts suddenly, shimmering slightly before a man that even I, as a red-blooded male, has to admit is eye-wateringly attractive. He hasclose-cropped hair, vibrant eyes and a body that makes me slightly envious.
“Theo, right?” he asks, startling me. “The Vampire?”
“Yes,” I answer cautiously. “How do you know me?”
“I know everything that happens in this Kingdom,” he replies. “I am Elrich.” He bows his head slightly.
I give him an awkward smile, at a loss for anything to say.
“Come,” he says, beckoning me closer.
When I don’t move, he holds his arms out. “You are hungry, are you not?”
I lick my lips, my fangs dropping at the mention of my hunger.
I nod slowly.
“Then come. Feed from me, Vampire. My blood will fulfil you; I can guarantee.”
Oh, no fucking doubt.
I’ve never fed from a unicorn before. I never even knew they existed before today. But I’m damn sure that he will give me a kick like I’ve never felt before from any creature on Earth, not even a virgin female.
I sidle a bit closer, debating with myself if he is for real or testing me.
“I don’t bite,” Elrich says with a smirk that turns my dick to iron in my pants.
“I do,” I counter, with a flash of my fangs.
“Can’t wait,” he mutters with an eye roll that gets me in motion. “So, don’t be a tease.”
