Kingsnake promised me he would let me go once he found the cure, but heâs known this entire time and never once shared it with me. And now that I know the truthâthat there is no cureâhe still wonât let me go. Now Iâm his prisoner once again. He asks to feed from me several times, but I refuse all his advances. If he wants my blood, heâll have to force it from me. He comes to my bedchambers to speak with me, but I pretend he doesnât exist. Once his hunger intensifies and the weakness sets in, heâs forced to feedâand it wonât be from me. Viper escorts me from my chambers to the brothel where his prey awaits, and Iâm forced to look at a gorgeous naked woman waiting for him. His betrayal has iced my heart and closed off my feelings, but my jealousy canât be controlled. I may be angry with him, but I donât want him to have anyone else but me. So I submit to the vampire kingâagain.
