CHAPTER 8

I stirred, waking in another room with Eve peering anxiously over me. “They should have never bled you before you had taken food,” she said, patting my forehead with a damp cloth.

Hunger slammed into me when I smelled a bowl of something that made my taste buds come alive in a roaring inferno.

I sat up too quickly and dizziness assaulted me. Nausea kicked in and I said, “I think I'm going to be sick.” I slammed my feet down on the cold floor and ran to the bathroom, but my weakness caused me to stumble and I put my hands out to brace my fall and I was in his arm's again.

Cole's.

I was too weak to struggle and lay there, my stomach heaving from blood loss and lack of food.

“You fool! She can hardly walk... she is sick to her stomach! Could you have not waited?” Eve yelled at him and I lay still, listening for a heartbeat that wasn't there.

I watched Cole's eyes close, the iciness gone for a moment then he looked down at me. “Forgive me, I would not harm you purposely.”

I was too tired to be angry. I said nothing and he sighed but the urge to throw up had passed.

“Give me the soup. I will feed her.”

Eve pursed her lips and gave him the bowl. Cole carried me to where I had lain, using only one arm, the soup in the other hand.

He sat down and tenderly brought me to a sitting position and my stomach lurched. Instinctively I put a hand over my mouth.

He scooped up some of the fragrant broth and lifted it to my mouth and I parted my lips for him and a fine sweat appeared above his lip. It was then that I knew that he wanted me for himself. It didn't matter what their leader (Alexander) thought, this vampire would be as territorial as he needed to be.

I would use that as leverage and escape this place. It didn't matter that the sex was great. The fringe benefits weren't sounding too hot at the moment. I ate half a bowl and allowed my head to fall back against his chest again, playing the weak female card for all it was worth.

It wasn't that hard.

He clenched me tighter and stroked my hair.

Eve said, “Don't get attached to her. You know better. Alexander will make a match that is best for a breeding pair...”

“I know that better than most!” he spoke to her harshly and she cringed away from him.

“Have you stopped to think that the Druids should not be matched for biology solely, but for love?”

Eve shook her head. “You know that is not the way of it, Cole. Think with your head,” I watched her press a fingertip to her temple, “not your emotions. You have always been thus.”

“I am not ashamed that I wished to be mated to a Druid and not share her with others.”

“That will never happen,” Eve said. “At the very least, she will have two mates.
