Chapter 12

Twilight’s Revelation

Seraphine

Shocked, I stood in the center of my ornate golden prison with my hands fisted at my sides.

Is he really going to do it?

The Quiet King claimed he would bring the three vampires that had triggered so much traumatic pain in my life.

He said they were a gift.

My body shook with an uncontrollable fear that took over my very being.

Tension thickened the air like this foggy mist, cloying, suffocating, and almost robbing me of my breath each time I tried to inhale.

Those three vampires had cruelly stolen my innocence, laughing the whole time. They had been huge beings hovering over my young, slim body. With their fangs exposed, two kept my legs separated and wide open, waiting for their turn.

The third. . .well. . .he did more.

My eyes watered.

This deep-seated hatred rose in my core and burned in my veins.

The pain and the nastiness of what the third one did to my body—not even developed yet—had been too much for my mind.

Unyieldingly plunging and thrusting.

Sick and demented.

I could not stop them.

My screams were never heard.

All I could do was focus on the third’s crown tattoo and think over and over and over how I would kill him.

Tears left my eyes.

After each one finished taking my body, they drained my blood for the Quiet King.

By then, I was broken, scared, and lost.

The third one carried and returned me to the dungeon crowded with other blood mages who never talked to me. In fact, we all remained quiet for days, all in shock and depressed about our imprisonment.

Regardless, I lay on the stone floor, bloodied, naked, and shivering. There, I whispered to anyone who would hear, “Kill me. Please. Kill me. Please. Please.”

Out of nowhere, Reye covered me with a blanket, picked me up, and rocked me the rest of the night.

The solid comfort of Reye’s arms was what I needed.

That was the first time I met her. Days later, I still asked her to kill me, and she refused. Instead, she promised to teach me how to defend myself.

Now I could finally use those techniques.

And the Quiet King will be bringing them to me?

For years, I dreamt about taking my revenge out on them—tearing their bodies apart and draining their blood just like they had drained mine.

Sometimes it was the only thing that could help me go to sleep at night.

My bottom lip quivered.

Lysander. Magnus. Draken.

If the Quiet King brought them to me, then was he still my enemy?

Could I still consider him a monster?

These three vampires’ faces had been carved in my mind for so many years, they had become a part of me. Any nightmare that terrorized my soul, surely they starred in it.

And because of the Quiet King, I could finally heal those wounds.

Why would he gift me in such a way?

Never had anyone cared this much for me.

Will I have to begin to see him differently?

I gazed around at the golden cage packed with all his presents of jewelry, candies, and even the book of spells.
