Chloe slipped her hand inside the little silk bag concealed under her cape, and carefully crinkled the folded piece of parchment she was hiding. She didn't want Sergei to know she had the note. She didn't want him to know her secret. “What difference does it matter who came to visit me? The man only offered to hear my confession, nothing more.”

“It means a lot,” said Laroque. “The souls who hunt me are dangerous.”

“And these are dangerous times. No one is safe, my lord.”

He hesitated. “You don't understand. You see, Chloe, I am not who you think I am.”

“I am very much aware of who you are, Monseigneur. You are Comte Laroque. The soul who manipulates the night.”

“You have heard the rumors, then.”

She nodded.

“And what do you think of them, what do you believe?”

“I believe, now, they are true. But such nonsense matters not to me. You saved me from losing my head, and for that, I am indebted to you, regardless of who you may or may not be.”

And that was the truth, thought Chloe. She may have come to him under false pretenses, but she would always be indebted to him, and faithful to him. Even if he was vampyre.
