"Now, hopefully he actually makes a comment about my appearance," Oksana thought hopefully.

As if on cue, Assar opened his mouth... Oksana tensed, wanting to hear the compliment she knew had to be coming.

Oksana's earlier growing confidence and ego deflated…

Oksana watched as Vadim frantically looked between them with a mix of anger and fear. He was obviously and understandably panicking after first escaping a monster attack, and then being kidnapped by her. And then the first thing he saw when his blindfold was removed was Assar’s scarred face. She enjoyed seeing the panic in his eyes. If what Assar had concluded was true, this cretin was responsible for her parent’s death and the dishonor to her clan. If he was guilty, she would make him pay.


Assar stood up, and glanced back at her, “He’s all yours.”


Assar stepped aside for her, and she in turn squatted down in front of the tamer. She didn’t say anything at first, but instead just looked into his eyes. He met her gaze briefly before nervously looking over at Assar. Though she knew he must have recognized her as a sanguine vampire, he was obviously more scared of Assar than her.


“I’m going to remove your gag, scream, and I will pull out one of your eyes. Understand?”
