first met. Who made you that way?” If she was to die here at the hands of this man, she wanted to know why he hated her—and kill whoever had made it so. “Is it because you feel betrayed, Elias? Do you really think you are the first person to ever be deceived? To be disappointed by someone?”  
    When one of his eyebrows rose in disbelief, she gave a crazed chuckle. “You don’t know what real betrayal feels like, human .”
    As she snarled the final word at him, he gripped the back of her neck, forcing her to look at him. “Don’t I, vampire ?”
    “No,” she bit out, a fire refueling her resentment at her impending death. “Real betrayal can only be felt when you love someone.”  
    Elias held her stare without wavering.  
    “And we both know that you never loved me.”
    “Says who?” Then he blinked several times, shocked at what he’d said, and a tense silence stretched between them. It seemed to last hours, not seconds.
    Just as she started to drift back towards unconsciousness, she whispered, “You never said…”
    His eyes, those strange and beautiful eyes of his, softened for a millisecond. Then they once again hardened.  
    “If your kind had the capability to love,” he said, “then you would’ve felt it.”
    She flinched, wanting to tell him that they could feel. It was just different. The instincts that drove her were more basic. They were ingrained in her very being to survive, not to care. Whereas the emotions he wanted to see, she had long since denied. Buried them the night she had been turned.  
    As his breath floated across her lips, her eyes slid shut and she drifted… Drifted far, far away with the memory of what they’d once been lingering in her mind.

Present Day—Alasdair’s bedchambers

    ALASDAIR KYRIAKOUS LOOKED over to where his human yielding lay stretched out beneath his Ancient and marveled at the predicament he now faced.  
    The depraved image on his bed had his cock standing at full attention as he walked closer to the scene that was unraveling. A feeding. And not just any feeding. One between the most formidable of their kind, Vasilios, and a human who he wasn’t fully convinced was human at all.
    Tension filled the bedchamber, and Alasdair understood that one wrong move, one misspoken word, and the man he’d had his dick inside minutes earlier would be dead before he ever found out what he really was.  
    Although Vasilios was fully clothed, he was a shocking sight to behold. Covered in blood from the earlier butchery in Thanos’s chambers, he appeared every bit the savage he was. But that didn’t seem to faze Leonidas Chapel. Even naked and vulnerable as the man currently was, Leo was still enraptured by Vasilios.
    Alasdair had previously suspected it, but that right there was proof positive. The sinful, wicked side of their nature, the killer instincts they possessed, intrigued this human. With every new detail Leo learned, he became more attracted and more involved. So much so that, when his life had been in danger, he’d offered them the use of him in any way they desired.  
    Leo was fearless.  
    Much like he himself had been when he had been mortal, and that made Alasdair…protective.  
    “Vasilios,” he said.
    When his sire pivoted towards him, Alasdair had to tread carefully.
    “Yes, agóri ?”
    Fuck , he knew that tone. It was Vasilios’s version of you dare interrupt me?  
    “Be mindful,” Alasdair said. “He is not like other humans.”
    “Which is exactly the reason this must be done. This way, we will know where he is, what he is thinking, and I can bring him to me whenever I desire…” Vasilios turned back to Leo and trailed the tip of his bloodied finger along his cheek.  
    Leo’s lips parted.  
    “Wouldn’t that be a treat for you, human? To come to me—and for me—whenever I command it?”
    Alasdair’s cock throbbed under Vasilios’s sensual tone, and when Leo arched off the bed, he knew that the invitation was
