Chapter 621

• Looking at the other woman, Pietro could see she was younger than he'd first thought and a bit on the nervous side. He felt old instincts starting to well up inside and was surprised to note that the protectiveness he'd previously felt mainly towards the Vârcolac was being extended to the girl he'd just scared the life out of. Perhaps it was because Cassia appeared to be taking the youngster under her wing. If she was important to the Vârcolac then maybe he should take more of an interest in her.
• He found himself smiling and knew it must be tugging at the scar on his face. Trish looked at him hesitantly but he didn't see any sign of repulsion in her expression. He dialled back his previous bad mood a bit more. "My apologies, Trish, I didn't mean to frighten you."
• His gaze turned back to Cassia. "You have a reason for being here?" He couldn't think what they possibly wanted. The Vârcolac was hardly going to bring along a teenager if she wanted to spent intimate time with him. He had to admit that his interest was piqued.
