Cassius brought me to a secluded area of the Sanctum. Tall statues of crying angels surrounded us in a circular pattern. In the center of the circle was a concrete slab. It looked like a sacrificial altar.

Was this where he was going to rip me apart?

Cassius set me down. My feet felt numb as they landed on the cobblestone beneath. “You drank from the girl,” I said. “And you left her like that.”

“One of her collectors will be with her soon,” Cassius replied. “He’ll return her to one of the blood farms, where she can recover.”

“Blood farms?” I asked. “You’re talking about her like she’s livestock.”

Under the moonlight, Cassius looked far too ethereal. His white hair and sharp features gave him an angelic appearance, emphasizing how inhuman he was. If he was a monster, then he must be the most beautiful monster to ever exist. “Better a blood slave than a kidnapped human. Blood slaves know no other purpose than to provide sustenance.”

The idea was absolutely repulsive.

“They’re not legal under our council system, but the officials turn a blind eye to them. They provide an easier source of blood.”

“Hypocrisy at its finest.”

“I’m not proud of it. But these humans… at least they’ve never tasted freedom before.”

“And that is a good thing?” Incredulity forced the pitch of my voice up a couple notches. “How can this even be condoned?”

“Blood slaves don’t know what they’re missing. Ignorance is the key to their happiness. The more they know, the more they suffer. We keep them in secluded farms, far away from civilization, and they sleep through most of their lives, woken only when they are needed.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Your justifications are repulsive.”

“They weren’t my idea,” Cassius said.

“I’ve had enough of you.”

I needed to see him dead and removed from this world. I turned on my heels. I couldn’t stand to be in his presence anymore. But before I took my first step away from him, Cassius grabbed my arm to stop me. He forced me to look at him, and in that instant, his pupils turned from purple to red.

“I feed and feed and try to take away my longing for you,” he said. “But the hunger keeps returning, and it comes back too soon. You are a curse upon me, Ver.”

I blinked, and a moment later, I found a dagger in my hand.

I glanced at it, focusing on the foreign metallic sensation that kissed my skin. In its steel blade, I saw my own frightened reaction.

“What is this?” I asked.

“Take my heart, Ver,” Cassius said. “It is yours if you want it.”

My mouth dried up from shock. Was Cassius actually asking me to kill him?

He brushed my hair from my face. “That dagger… it has the power to harm a fullblood. You won’t find anything like it anywhere else. It was spelled by a witch many, many years ago.”

“Why?” I asked.

Cassius dragged the dagger closer to the center of his chest. “This is what you came for. My heart.
