Maybe | was too rough on her when I did it! Maybe my fangs went too deep! Maybe, maybe, maybe...

When | tried to wake her and she didn’t stir at all, | began to panic. So, 1 carried her over to the bed and I dialed

“Not alone,” she chuckles. “But I'm not with Domonic. He went out into the woods to check for traps. You know,

“Wait a minute!” Draven stops me. “She threatened to leave you? Why? She adores you. Why would she-oh!”

Draven gasps. “Angle she found out about Angle, didn’t she?”

“Yes,” | mumble, disappointment in myself blossoming in my gut. “She said she didnt want to be a mistress or

“Isn't that enough? | snap incredulously. “I damaged her!”

“Boy, oh boy. Your daddies really didn’t teach you anything, did they?” she asks with a Laugh.

“What the hell is funny about this?” I grow! softly.

She laughs again. “Listen, first off, it's okay. | mean, I'm no expert, but that’s what happened tothe first time
