Chapter 47

James’s POV

The attack ended just as fast as it started.

James was kneeling over a servant. He was trying to apply pressure to the young woman’s throat, but she was bleeding too fast. Within moments she was gone. His sleeves were drenched in the girl’s blood. He didn’t even know her name, but now she was dead.

The time of night, only a few hours before midnight, wasn’t a coincidence. It was a coup. James instantly knew that the Vivace’s were behind it. It was a power grab.

He didn’t know what caused the Vivace family to withdraw so quickly, until he saw Eva crashing through the doors. She had Jessica in tow, both of them back-to-back, pushing out the threat. Jessica had a bite mark on her arm, granting Eva the gift of blessed blood.

Jessica was not as strong as a pureblood, but she could hold her own. She was a force to be reckoned with, but Eva? Eva was a missile.
