I want to go. Oh, how I want to go. I can feel a tug, a pulling, as if there’s a string inside me, urging me to get up, to move. But I can’t.
Not yet.
Gritting my teeth against the compulsion, I grind out, “No.”
“Carmen,” Zegulf growls, his anger licking at my skin again. “Come to the door right now.”
The pain of resisting, of refusing him, when he’s this close, just within my reach, brings tears to my eyes.
“No,” I groan in misery. Hoping. Praying. Secretly begging, he gives me what I want. “Not until you promise me you won’t kill him.”
“Fine,” Zegulf snarls. “If you come to the door, if you come to me, I won’t kill him.”
The relief I feel is so powerful it’s almost like having an orgasm. But he didn’t promise. He has to promise.
“Promise?” I ask, shakily getting to my feet.

~Carmen~Hair messy, a few strands fall into his eyes, giving him a dark, menacing look. Especially as he stares down at me, panting like he’s not sure if he wants to kiss me again or destroy me.All thoughts of Angels and heavenly beings instantly flee my head. He’s not an Angel... he’s a demon that is hellbent on devouring me.His ocean blue fiery gaze widens a fraction as if he can read my thoughts just before it bores into my eyes with an intensity that shoves me closer to the place between dream and reality.“Yes, I’m going to devour you,” Zegulf says, his voice striking a chord behind my ribs and thrumming through every vein. “But don’t worry.” His hand lashing out, moving faster than my eyes can follow. He shreds my shirt to pieces, exposing my bra. “You’re going to love every second of it.”

~Carmen~Carrying me into a dark room, Zegulf slams the door shut behind him and pauses.His arms tighten around me, and time seems to come to a standstill. My eyes strain to see the beautiful face in front of me.I just want one more look before my mortal existence is torn from me. If his face is the only thing I see before I die, I’ll die happy.But I’ll die not knowing what’s being done to me. My soul shivers at the thought, but it’s true.After everything I’ve been through, I just want to gaze upon his face. To become truly lost. So lost, I don’t see what’s to come.Since the moment Zegulf wrapped me up in his arms, I’ve been drifting in and out of a heavy fog that is now quickly fading.I don’t know what it is, if it’s the mark itself or simply him,

~Zegulf~My sight temporarily goes blank when the door finally opens and I see Carmen.It's unbelievable that all this time, the gods and goddesses were only making me wait for her. I was never mateless; I just had no idea my mate was being held captive, several miles away from me.‘No one deserves to die without experiencing true companionship,’ Brody has once told me.So, I decided to find a companion. I already accepted my fate and was hoping to find a mateless female who would be willing to put up with a broken soul like me. That was until the signs of my failing body started, and Brody finally came up with a reason for thatI searched for her. I hoped, waited, and raged for her. I’ve felt every emotion under these dark, starry skies.Finally, taking in the beauty of my mate after a momentary

~Carmen~The sunlight is quickly dimming, and the shadows in the corners are growing larger.Where’s my phone? Dropping to my knees again, I start sorting through everything on the floor, searching for it.I haven’t heard from Kennedy. has he deserted me, too? Or is he mourning the death of his father? Does he also blame me for his father's death?If he's still coming to get me, what if it's for revenge?Well, it's all too late now. I need to call him and tell him not to come. It’s too late for a rescue. The vampires are close. If he shows up, he’ll only be in danger.I can't be blamed for the death of a father and his son. Even if Kennedy believes that I contributed to the death of his father, I can't lose him, too. I think as I fling away a shirt. He’s literally all I have left.Crawling around on

~Carmen~Did Elder Felix … Did he just suggest…“We?” I croak out. “Are you saying that my father didn’t die from an auto crash and my mother my mother didn’t abandon me like I was told?”“The Sect is always out to identify cursed girls like you, and we have a way of knowing one even before she gets into the world. So yes, your parents are dead, and I, for one, know exactly how. They would have died eventually. With your curse hanging on your neck, surely, you would have still killed them.”I squeeze my eyes shut and groan painfully. I thought the Sect took me in because I was homeless, cursed, rejected, and hopeless.They are known for their good deeds, so I thought… Oh my god. A heavy, painful sob tears out of my throat.“Think about it, Carmen
