The magic of waking next to Leia hadn’t faded. It was like the universe had created an angel just for me—if I’d believed in such things. I glanced at her peaceful sleeping face, half tempted to wake her with soft kisses that made her request more.

I always wanted her.

And she was always ready for me.

Just the thought of her soft, welcoming body made me hard.

My gaze drifted to her breasts and the amethyst pendant nestled there. Then to her wrist and the delicate selection of crystal charms the witch had insisted would protect Leia… from my implied ineptitude.

I rubbed my eyes and sighed softly. I’d looked through the Book of Gray, poring over the pages of tiny, handwritten text. Shit. I hadn’t so much as thought about that book in decades. Maybe centuries. Mother and Father had given it to me when I left their home, and apparently, I’d just shoved it in a box, because what the hell did a dusty old tome of family lore matter?

Except it mattered now. I’d hoped to read it and find that Lettie had been wrong, but no.

My mate was in danger of becoming a thrall to me simply because I’d claimed her and fed from her and I hadn’t turned her yet.

I’d given her a death sentence.

And I had a fucking witch to thank for extending our time together. I swallowed the idea of being indebted to a witch… Well, it was as bad as potentially owing a debt to the local shifter pack. Neither of those was a palatable option. I kept myself to myself, and I didn’t mix beyond vampire politics, which were a necessary evil for a king.

Otherwise, I’d have been happy in my house by myself. Except… I looked at Leia and my heart squeezed.

I never actually wanted to be alone again.

So I needed to turn her.

But how could I talk to her about that? She’d allowed my claim, but we’d never discussed her being anything other than human. I didn’t know what she wanted. I wanted her with me forever, but I couldn’t force that on her.

I looked away. At first, I’d thought I just wanted power. The power a virgin could bring me, then the extended power of a true mate by my side.

But by the time I’d claimed her, it had been about more than power. And a true mate turning, according to the Book of Gray, was about love. It was the biggest gift I could give. It was immortal life.

Of course, it was also a selfish vampire gift—a lover and true mate, by my side, for eternity. But it was a commitment. A choice. A wedding. The most insane version of marriage ever—where as long as we both should live took on a whole different meaning.

It would mean giving all of myself and accepting all of Leia, too.

Which I wanted with a yearning that surprised me. The idea of her accepting my blood hardened me further and I fought not to move my hips forward or fist my cock in my hand to find relief.
