Tempted

"Who?" Melina asked, her voice coming out weakly. She had a feeling that she already knew who it was. Who else would want to scope her out?

"Alaric. He's the one who sent me to meet you," Blair said. "He wants to meet you now."

Melina let out a shaky breath. The last thing that she wanted to do was be anywhere near the demon that wanted to kill her just because she was powerful.

She had a feeling that meeting wouldn't end well, but she knew that she had no choice but to go if she wanted a chance at saving Benjamin.

"If I come, will you let Benjamin go?" she asked quietly.

"I guess you'll just have to come home and see, huh?" Blair replied within a sneer.

Melina wanted to throw her phone down the hallway as she seethed with anger, but she knew that wouldn't help anything. If she wanted to do anything, she had to go back home.
