Chapter 12

My breath quickened, and my heart flipped like a crepe. I leaned against the bathroom’s marble-tiled wall, still using it to keep my frame upright. Had Dante really called me by my name, and had he really offered me a truce?

I stared down at the blond-haired vampire, who remained on his hands and knees. A mixture of hope and humility shone in his aquamarine eyes, and tremors ran through his body as though he was still suffering the aftershocks of my attack.

There was more to my captivity than I’d initially thought. Maybe I had more power in this farce of a relationship than the boys had indicated. My gaze wandered to the brother lying on his right.

Nero propped himself on his trembling forearms. The muscles under his dark skin twitched and flexed, creating a tantalizing if not disturbing sight. He stared up at me through a curtain of dreadlocks, his ebony eyes etched with pain, but he still managed to force his full lips into a trembling half-smile.

“What do you say?” he asked.

My gaze skipped over Raphael, who didn’t speak or raise his head. His copper hair fanned out on the marble floor, and his shoulders rose and fell with rapid breaths. A sneer curled my lip. Let him speak to me like I was a pet one more time, and I’d zap him again.

The hope in Dante’s eyes dimmed. “Alicia?”

I folded my arms under my chest. “Why do you want a truce?”

Dante licked his lips. “Wouldn’t you prefer to get along with us?”

“As equals,” added Nero.

My brows rose, and I surveyed the two brothers groveling at my feet. Most bullies were cowards who flinched when their victims stood up to them, but I hadn’t imagined that the Stryx brothers would decide to treat me better the moment I fought back.

I raised my chin. “You’re just biding your time until you can work out a way to neutralize my attack.”

Nero shook his head. “It’s not like that.”

“Oh?” I stepped over the boys’ prone bodies and strode to the edge of the pool, leaving behind drops of blood. When I turned around, all three of their gazes fixed on the blood, but none of them moved to touch it. More importantly, none tried to seize me from behind. “Tell me why you decided to enslave me, and maybe I’ll consider your truce.”

Nero turned to Dante, who scowled. Raphael raised his head off the floor and gave his brother a pleading look. Dante shook his head.

My eyes narrowed, and I wondered if the boys’ reasons for enslaving me were related to the hold Micalla had over Dante.

“I want to speak to Dante alone,” I said.

“What?” asked Nero.

“Raphael, you go to your room.” I turned a cold gaze to Nero. “And you get into the dog bed.”

Nero’s nostrils flared. “If you think—”

“Just do it,” said Dante with a sigh. “She won’t work with us otherwise.”

It took several moments for the two boys to scramble to their feet, as their muscles didn’t seem to want to cooperate with their bones.
