The Vampire Lord Wants My Blood
“I told myself you were safe here. I was wrong.”
“Alistair, look at me,” I said, reaching out to touch his arm. He stiffened but didn't pull away. “I’m okay. I’m a bit shaky and my throat feels like a desert, but I’m alive. You didn't do this.”
“But I am the reason you are a target,” he responded, his eyes meeting mine. “You are the Consort. My… blood mate. To hurt you is to hurt me.”
“Well, mission accomplished, I guess,” I joked, trying to lighten the mood. It was weird seeing him so vulnerable. “But hey, now we know the assassin is sloppy. They didn't do their research well.”
