Chapter 323

“Why?”

“I never wanted it. Kali forced it on me. Can you take it away again? Please, I’m begging you.”

“I could hurt you, control you, make you my slave to forever do my bidding if you let me in,” I whispered, hating myself for voicing those words. But he needed to know the truth. The whole truth. I was dangerous.

His voice didn’t waver when he answered with conviction.

“Yes, I understand. But anything is better than being part vampire.”
