Blood seeped from Charlieâs arm and throat. âGods.â Drake hurried over to her, igniting the lamps as he went. âYouâre bleeding.â He grabbed her med-kit, pulling out bandages.
âBloody Goodridge,â she cursed as Drake held a cloth to her neck. âWhy do I get the feeling heâs not trying to kidnap me?â She winced as he pressed harder. âI think heâs testing me.â
Drakeâs jaw clenched, his ice blue eyes bleeding to black as they did when he felt strong emotion.
âIâm alright.â She touched his cheek.
âSometimes I forget how fragile you are,â he muttered.
Fragile? Me? She snorted. âThereâs nothing fragile about me, Vlad.â
Charlieâs skin began to tingle. She looked down to see the blood flow ebbing. Had she started healing on her own? That meant only one thing: transition. She backed away, seeing the slashes close over. Drake looked too, frowning. âMy ascension must be getting close,â Charlie mused. She didnât know whether to be excited or terrified. Sheâd become immortal soon, and that came with its own risks.
âWeâll need to be extra careful then.â Drake wrapped an arm around her, hugging her against his chest. Charlie melted against him, knew he worried.
âYouâre right, Goodridge does seem to be testing you,â he said, running a hand through her hair.
âFor what?â She pulled back, running her fingers over her throat to feel the slashes fading and wiping the dried blood away. âThe Srimtar is somewhere he canât reach it â unless heâs trying to figure out a way to weaken me.â She slumped onto the bed, feeling too wired to go back to sleep.
Drake sat up beside her. âWe are already weakened. Your powers will be unpredictable now youâre in transition and Iâm still injured.â
âWhy do I get the feeling youâre hiding something from me?â She looked him right in the eye.
He flinched and had the same guilty look on his face. Sheâd started to read her demon well now. âDrake, we agreed no more secrets.â
He sighed. âThere is one way to speed up my healing.â
Charlie brightened. âGood, are we finally going to be bonded?â
âNo, I can take power from other demons.â
She nodded. âYeah, Iâve already seen that.â
Drake hesitated. âItâs more effective if I take it from blood.â
Okay, that part she hadnât expected. âLike a vampire?â Charlie grinned. âGuess my nickname is more fitting than you let on, huh, Vlad?â
Drake scowled. âI need blood to survive, it strengthens me. Blood drinking was outlawed by my clan centuries ago. Iâve never drunk blood from anyone before,â he said. âI have no need for it, butâ¦â
âBut youâre weak.â Realisation dawned on her. âOh.â Her cheeks flushed. âYou need to drink from me, donât you?â
âNo, I wonât.â He moved away from her. âIâll be healed a few days.â
âDrake, youâre the Akaran. You canât be weak like this.â She grabbed his arm, forcing him to face her. âYou donât know what your brother will do either. So just do it.â
His eyes shifted from blue to black again as his jaw set. âNo,â he growled.
Stubborn demon! âWhy not? You wouldnât have told me if you need my help.
