Sorvane did not talk unless he was hungry. “I could eat her whole. Just let me in, Ravok.” And I would give in, because if I did not, the hunger would tear me apart from the inside.

I had to buy slaves (women who would end up in my bed and die) just so Sorvane could devour the energy he craved.

Romeo had once told me, “If you find a woman whose energy matches Sorvane’s, she might survive you.” I wanted to believe him. Maybe that was why I was here tonight, hoping to find a woman with a pulse s

    POV MELANYBeep. Beep. Beep.The steady sound of the hospital machines didn't arrive all at once — it seeped in slowly, as if crossing layers of water to reach my consciousness. A rhythmic beep, the low hiss of oxygen passing through some tube, footsteps muffled on a polished floor, voices low in the background.That was what pulled me back.But opening my eyes… didn't happen.I tried. God, I tried. I gave the command, forced it, kept insisting… and nothing. My eyelids stayed heavy and stuck shut, my whole body felt disconnected from me. Not even my fingers responded. Not even my breathing felt fully under control.I heard voices closer now."She's stable, majesty. It was just a sudden drop in blood pressure," someone said, in a clinical tone I didn't recognize. "But there are clear signs of dehydration. We'll keep her under observation for a few more hours. It would be best if you went to rest."A brief sil

    Romeo nodded and left.I looked back at Melany more carefully, this time without rushing, letting my gaze take in what I'd only registered before. Her skin was hot, the warmth obvious even without touching her, concentrated in her face — her cheeks flushed in a way that had nothing healthy about it, her lips parted, her breathing uneven.I brought my hand to her forehead more carefully than before, resting it slowly, as if that could change something. I brushed aside a strand of hair stuck to the side of her face, the damp strand clinging to her hot skin, and tucked it behind her ear.For a moment, my hand stayed there.The trembling continued, faint, almost imperceptible, but constant."Get a coat," I told Rose. "Something warm."Rose ran to the dresser and grabbed a coat. She came closer to me and opened the fabric over Melany's body, covering her carefully.I waited only as long as necessary and, when she finished, I left the

    He arched an eyebrow, taking in every detail of my attempt to hold myself up. "Or?" The word came almost with curiosity. "I found one of my rings in that hoodie you left in the rain," he said, tilting his head slightly. "Where are the others? With the human you freed?"My heart sped up."I sold the rings."He didn't react right away, but there was something in the way his eyes fixed on mine. "Lie. There was no money on you."I swallowed hard, feeling my throat burn with the movement. "Sold them for very little.""Lie," he repeated. "Is she with the human?"His gaze didn't leave me — not directly the whole time, but always present, as if every small movement of mine was being registered before it even happened. There was something unsettling about the way he watched: it wasn't just suspicion, nor just authority, it was pure, cold analysis, like someone who had already reached a conclusion and was now just waiting for me to confirm it.

    "I do need to." She squeezed my arm lightly before letting go, her gaze fixed on mine. "Since I can't stay with you, let me help." There was a small silence. "You're not going to die here."And, for the first time since I'd arrived there, I wanted to believe it.The door opened without warning, and both of us turned toward it.The sound broke the little comfort there was inside the room, and my body reacted with a slight startle, almost invisible, but enough to make my fingers clench inside the blanket. The rough fabric brushed against my too-hot skin, and a shiver ran up my arms even with the heat that seemed trapped inside me.Ravok.His body filled the entire doorway before he stepped into the room. Hands in his trouser pockets, hair combed, suit impeccable. I only realized I'd been holding my breath when I lost my air.His gaze swept the room unhurried, passing over the tray still on the bed, the disturbed space in the blanket, Rose's bo

    The sound was quiet, but enough to make my body react at once. My eyes opened as the handle turned and Romeo came in, carrying a tray.The smell reached me before I even processed what he was bringing. Soup, a glass of water, and a piece of fruit. Nothing elaborate, but in that moment it felt like more than enough."Eat." He set the tray on the bed, near my legs, the mattress sinking slightly under the weight.I didn't move right away. I lifted my gaze to him, holding it, trying to read something beyond the direct order. He looked back at me, not softening his expression, and then raised an eyebrow, impatient, as if he already expected resistance.Slowly, I pushed the blanket back a little and sat up, my body still shaking despite my effort to control it.I reached for the bowl, holding it carefully, and brought it closer slowly, feeling the warmth cross my fingers before it even reached my face. The steam rose in thin threads, touching my cold ski

    I left the study and stopped in front of the side door. The one that led to the room next door. I stayed there for a moment longer than necessary. My hand rose slowly toward the handle, hovering over the cold metal without touching it right away.Ridiculous.I exhaled through my nose, irritated with myself, and then stepped away from the door. I told myself she would stay in punishment, and that wouldn't be undone by one or two sentimental words from Romeo.I moved away from the door and headed toward the stairs.I went down the main staircase. The stone, polished by years of use, reflected fragments of the light coming through the narrow windows, and for a moment my attention caught on that.The activity in the hall below slowed as I appeared. It wasn't immediate, it never was, but it happened in waves: a conversation cut short here, a servant lowering their head too quickly there, a guard adjusting his posture as if caught off guard. I didn't nee

    “I did not bewitch anyone.”“Then what are you hiding?”Before I understood what she meant, her hand went to my dress. I tried to pull away, but two girls caught my arms from behind. Victoria searched me with rough, angry movements, and when her fingers closed around the chain beneath my collar, my

    My face burned. With my left hand, I carefully pulled the fabric away from his side. His skin was warm under my fingers, and the muscles of his stomach tightened when I touched him. I had never been this close to a man like this. Not unless someone was dragging me, hitting me, or throwing me aside.

    Dominic pushed me away and I was surprised that I lost thought because of his action. He told Victoria, "Amo has a keen sense of smell and he hates the smell of women's blood."Victoria was not quite convinced by Dominic's explanation, still, she wrapped her arms around him like she was showing of

    “Washing clothes,” I answered, because the truth was already humiliating enough and I had no better lie.His eyes narrowed slightly. “In that?”Heat rose to my face. I gripped the basin and tried to stand, but Dominic reached for it before I could move away. I held on by instinct, even though there
