Ceri pulled out of Virgil’s mind, his body numb, his thoughts scattered. He tipped his head back and dragged in a lungful of air, still scenting Virgil’s warm and welcoming aroma. He wasn’t even sure how he was able to feel his mate as if the man were right there in his Ceri 73

arms. But as he stood there, Ceri felt the longing grip him like a hand that was trying to squeeze his very heart from his chest.

A child.

Never in over two thousand years had Ceri thought of fathering a babe. Especially after the keeper had come to him during the Great War between vampires and warlocks, telling Ceri of the curse. He had resigned himself to walk the earth alone. But now he ached for what Virgil offered, a place of solace, a warm heart, and a family.

And you called Rhys a fool for wanting such nonsense, calling him weak. Ceri scoffed at himself for most of the things he had said to his twin regarding love and family. If only he had known that fate would place those treasures just outside his reach.

He had to find a cure now more than ever. It was tearing him in two that he couldn’t be there for his mate and that agony began to fuel a rage building inside of him.

Leaving Neverlight Hall, Ceri stormed through the underworld, seeking out the only person who had half a chance of curing him.

“Keeper!”

The withered creature was standing behind a lectern, gazing at a book as Ceri entered the man’s chambers. “I need a cure, now!” He felt like he was going raving mad from the need to be with his mate.

Virgil needed him and Ceri couldn’t go near the guy for fear of dining on his flesh.

“I do not want to hear of great sacrifices,” Ceri stated evenly. “I have sacrificed enough for simply laying with a harlot. Nenya had no idea what a loose woman his daughter truly was.” His hand came crashing down on the desk, sending scrolls and jars flying. “I shouldn’t have to pay for that!”

“Your mother was the catalyst who bargained for what you have become.”

Ceri had no clue what the creature was talking about. For once, the man was speaking clearly, yet Ceri was still confused. What did his mother have to do with his curse? As far as his memories reached, 74

she was a beautiful and gentle woman who loved her sons more than life itself. She was the greatest queen who had ever ruled a kingdom.

His parents’ death in the war had shattered Ceri.

But learning who his true father was, the man who had sired him, had gutted Ceri. Marsian had been a great man, a true hero in Ceri’s eyes. He didn’t want Panahasi to be his father. The man had taken advantage of Serentene Espelimbergo and then abandoned her and her offspring.

He still hadn’t found the demon leader. Ceri wanted to have an up-close talk with the man about visiting Virgil.
