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.”

“Killing you would serve no purpose, they would simply give your healing blood to someone else,” the corner of his lips quirked up. “You will serve much bigger purposes for me.”

I heard some rustling behind me and I immediately knew that it was Ryker. I hoped to delay him a little more but he already heard it and I could already see him poised to

run.

“We will meet again, Camilla, I hope you stay alive until then because I have so much in store for you.”

“I’m sorry

about what my father did to you as well,” I blurted out and his eyes darkened with anger. “I just found out recently. You don’t have to get revenge on me for that. I had nothing to do with it, none of these people did. You are punishing innocents.”

“Live for as long as I have, Camilla, then you will be equipped enough to give me advice.” He winked and then he disappeared through the threes.

The weakness came immediately and I wanted to crumble to the ground but I managed to hold myself upright. I was the Queen, the guards didn’t need to see me fall.copy right hot novel pub
