The Veil

“Have you thought about… what we read in the library?” Dragan asks me and I swallow hard when I realize to what he’s referring. I need to take another lover—one of light. Otherwise darkness will eventually overpower me.

To answer Dragan’s question, yes, I have thought about it. In fact, it’s a subject that’s been occupying my mind long before we ever decided to research it.

“Yes, I have,” I answer.

“And?” he asks and by the tightness of his lips, I can tell he’s uncomfortable with this conversation. Not that I blame him. I understand how Dragan feels—the idea of having to share him or Baron with another woman leaves me cold.

I realize the sacrifice I’m asking him to make.

“And, I realize I need to feed the light within me,” I answer, my voice so soft it sound more like a squeak.

“Have you thought of a… candidate?”

It’s a silly question because there’s only one candidate. There’s only one man strong enough to allow me to feed from him. Cambion. Well, that’s not true. Variant would be equally able but clearly he’s not on offer.

“My choice would be Cambion,” I reply softly.

“He appears to be the only… viable option,” Dragan agrees.

“But, I think that option is looking like more and more like an impossibility.”

“It’s Cambion or…Variant,” Dragan barks back. “Which means it’s Cambion because I’m fairly sure Variant still wants you dead. Probably even more so now.” He sighs. “There are no other options.”

I nod because I know Dragan’s right. “Yet Cambion can barely even look me in the eyes ,” I say.

“He needs to figure his shit out,” Dragan responds gruffly. “If it gets to the point where we force him on you, that’s what we’ll have to do.”

“How would that work?” I ask, frowning at him.

He shrugs. “We lock the two of you up in the same room together and you turn on your seduction full bore. We don’t let him out until he… does what he needs to.”

“It sounds so…”

“It doesn’t matter how it sounds,” Dragan interrupts. “We can’t let you fall to the darkness.”

“Right,” I say and nod. “Are you sure Cambion and Variant are the only ones strong enough to survive… bedding me?”

Dragan nods. “You saw what the books said.”

I nod again and then fall silent. We both just look at one another for what feels like an eternity. I finally break the silence. “I don’t want to turn into a succubus.”

“I don’t want that either,” he admits.

Dragan leaves me when we return from our walk and I return to the clearing to practice while the others eat supper. I have no appetite. I can hear the sounds of clattering plates and silver as they feast. Jovial stories about Kolvar and his band of mercenaries fill the cottage with happiness, causing laughter to carry out the windows and to my ears. But, I can’t share in their mirth.

Not when there’s so much on my mind.

Winter is coming to The Veil. I can feel the chilling tendrils of
