I quietly observed Reilyn from across the room as she shuffled a deck of cards, her eyes flickering over the top of the men seated with her to meet my gaze. Winking at her, I grinned when she averted her eyes first. I was playing a dangerous game with her, blurring the lines between hate and lust. I recalled the jolt that had gone through me when she had pressed her supple body close to me moments earlier. The way she had gasped when I grabbed her thigh and the heat I felt between them when she unconsciously parted her thighs under my touch. I had felt her desire in the chaos of our twisted emotions through the bond and saw it in her hooded eyes.

As I watched Reilyn wrap the table of card players around her finger, only to win against them all while they talked amongst themselves and then flit from table to table, I didn’t know if I wanted to kill her more or cage her against a wall and kiss her senseless. My cock hardened as unwanted thoughts trickled into my head. I envisioned her tantalizing skin dewy with perspiration, every line and curve of her body bared before me as I bent her over on my bed and plunge into her wet…. I stopped the stray thought, clearing my mind of the assassin.

“Say, I’ve been hearing stories about these disappearances,” I said to the barkeeper who just came to my table to refill my mug. “Do you know anything going on? I’ve heard the king is tightening patrols.”

The barkeeper turned rigid, fear entering her eyes. She leaned in, her voice shaky, “There have been rumours about the nightwalker-”

The door of the tavern flew open with a hard crash. I jumped to my feet, knocking the mug in the process. The keeper yelled out a warning while everyone screamed at the sight of the bleeding man in the doorway.

“Save me!” The man cried as he held onto his bleeding neck. The blood leaked through his fingers, dripping onto the floor. His eyes suddenly bulged as a hand pierced through his chest. He wheezed, gurgling on a breath, and slumped dead on the floor. A lithe dark-haired woman with unnaturally pale skin and glowing milky white eyes stepped forward, grinning ear to ear with blooded fangs and hand.

Bruxsa.

More chaos erupted in the tavern, the walls ringing with cries, stomps, and crashes of patrons pushing each other to flee for safety. I remained standing, my eyes fixed on the Bruxsa. Unlike the Strigoi, the Bruxsa was attractive, and I could see intelligence in her eyes. An intelligent monster. And yet I didn’t fear her. Halafarin is my kingdom. Rage surged and coursed through me. The Bruxsa cocked her head at me, a sinister smile playing on her lips as she took me in, likely seeing through the poor illusion I weaved to blend into the tavern with Reilyn. Then her hungry eyes fell on the barkeeper behind me.

“Run!” I shouted at the barkeeper, summoning magic to my hands to throw it at the Bruxsa.
