Chapter 126 — Time's Up

• I lower my forehead to my palm, listening as Alex storms from the room. Everything’s gone from bad to worse, and I can feel the last thread of control snapping somewhere inside me.
• I can’t afford to lose this friendship—not with Alex Zander. His magic is the only thing that lets me space out my feedings, helps tame the madness crawling under my skin, keeps the bloodlust at bay. Without him, I’d have to drink at least once a week, turn twice a month, and slowly lose my mind in between.
