Chapter 91

• "Lucien, what are you doing?"
• Rhea's voice was a harsh gasp. She could feel the piercing of his fangs into her neck. A burning shock, not of pain, but of a strange, dizzying pleasure, ran through her veins. His hands gripped her head, his touch cold and possessive. She was in an enclosed alcove in the ancient academy library. She had followed him. She had to see her brother.
• "I'm doing it for you, little wolf," he breathed, his voice a soft, buzzing hum. "This is the last part of our agreement. I get you to Micah. But I have to do this. I have to take a small bite. It's the only way I can touch you. It's the only way I can protect you from Theon and my people. It's the only way I can truly be your friend."
