Chapter 17
Quickly I wrote in the paper, my handwriting smudging a little because of the tension gripping my body.
“He wants to rape and kill me. Please help!”
I gave it to him, avoiding eye contact with the vampire enforcer next to the Prince.
I smelled the sweat dripping off of him even though the room was properly air-conditioned. Vampires needed the cold so even though the Palace was in the heart of East Europe, they still kept it on.
I watched the Prince read the note but my heart beat faster when I saw him smile instead of getting angry at the enforcer for trying to commit such a crime.
Foolish of me to have such high expectations for a murderer.
I sighed and hung my head as I heard him take a step towards me.
“This is what you wanted to tell me?” He asked with amusement in his tone.
I nodded slightly, defeated.
“Hm. You seem to forget I’m a vampire and I have these sensitive ears. Not as good as your wolf’s hearing range, though, but Gerald here couldn’t even wait for me to leave this floor before blabbering out his intentions,” he finished and then tilted my chin up with his forefinger.
A tear escaped my eyes as I realized how messed up this situation was. He might have said he regretted killing me but he didn’t even seem really
remorseful.
Seeing me alive, I’m sure he simply wanted to finish what he started, and whatever anger he had towards the enforcer would be about him trying to decide him.
“I’m sorry Your Majesty, I was trying to -”
“Shh,” he cut the enforcer off with a raise of his hand. “I came back the moment he shut his door and you know, I’ve been out there waiting for when you’ll fight back. But it seems your survival instincts are dead. I wonder why,” he muttered more to himself than me as he kept examining my face and hair as though I wasn’t a breathing being.
“My Prince she’s -”
“I specifically told you to shut up!” He roared at the enforcer, hitting him so hard his head hit the next wall and broke.
That healing process was about to be nasty.
I almost smiled at the enforcer getting some sort of punishment but the prince continued his examination, spinning me around.
“Something is wrong with you wolf. Care to tell me why you’re so docile? My father is convinced you’re a witch and not a werewolf. And I didn’t agree earlier since I beat that greedy mate of yours and I confirmed the mate bond as well but recent events have made me doubt my own convinctions, For example, why has your voice not healed? You were speaking the last time I saw you, loudly, in fact.”
I thought about just spilling out the secret but it was my only trump card.
If they found out I was wolfless, I don’t know what they’ll do but I don’t assume it’ll be nice.
But what if he finds out on his own?
It won’t be difficult if they keep treating me this way.
“You know you can’t keep secrets from your Master and I’m quite impatient, I’m sure you’ve noticed,” he continued talking. “Your skin is duller than it

should be, your hair is a few inches too short, and you’re so panicky and… subdued for a werewolf, yet it’s obvious you’re not human, or I would have assumed you were disguising as one.”
He walked to my back, my body tense from all the touching and observation he was making. If I wasn’t so terrified, I knew I’d be turned on so much. He had this predatory glint in his eyes that was just so sensual.
