Chapter 32

• I spent the better part of the day consumed by thoughts of Gosto of all he’d endured at the hands of Gualtiero. A dull ache throbbed in my chest for him, a sorrow I couldn’t shake. More than anything, I needed to know what horrors he’d been forced to commit each time he was summoned before the King.
• I had never met the current Vampire King, yet I despised him with every fiber of my being. My loyalty was unwavering I’d do anything to help Gosto take that twisted monster and his wretched son down. If my blood could lend him strength, I wouldn’t hesitate to offer it. I’d endure anything if it meant saving him from further suffering. From that moment on, I vowed to trust him fully, to stand by him in every way I could.
• That included doing everything in my power to succeed at the upcoming Moon Ball. I’d start with the perfect dress one that would leave no room for doubt.
