Chapter 115

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

They started in his direction but I raised up a hand to stop them. “No, leave him, he isn’t a threat to me.”

“That might be true but I can still bite them as much as any other person,” he waved his hand in the direction of the guards. “The way I see it, if you give out any more blood tonight, you’ll pass out. That would be the perfect opportunity for me to take you.”

“What do you want, Alastair?”

“From you? Absolutely nothing. I am just curious.”

“What do you want to know?”

“Why did they choose you?” he asked and my brows furrowed. “I have heard stories about you, Camilla. I know how you came back from near death twice, I know now that you have two powers instead of one. Why are you special enough for them to bend the laws of nature for but she wasn’t.”

He was talking about his lover. My heart ached for him and I gestured for the guards to step aside and they did.

“I am sorry about what happened to her.”

“Do not speak of her,” he growled and for a second, I thought he would attack me but he didn’t. He remained rooted by his spot next to the tree.

“I’m sorry,” my dizziness was getting worse but I managed to stay upright. I knew one of the guards would have mind linked Ryker already, it was just a matter of time until he appeared. “To answer your question, I don’t know why they chose me. I don’t know how they think or why they would prioritize one life over another. It isn’t what I would have wanted but they want to keep the balance of the world.”

“It doesn’t matter now, does it? She is dead and you are alive with healing blood running through your veins. If I bit you now, you would simply heal again,” he pushed off the tree and took a few steps forward. The guards held out their swords to try to keep him away and he shook his head. “Do they know that I am fast enough to kill you and run away before they even take a step?”

“They know, so do I, which brings me to the question, why aren’t you doing anything?”

“Are you asking me to kill you?”

“No, I’m just curious.”
