CHAPTER 17

  Elena's POV

  A raspy cough from my back startled me and I yelped in worry when I saw Cass gradually dying. His once olive skin looked pale and ghostly, his eyes looked dull and some dark veins were scribbled underneath his eyes by nature's invisible artist, Death.

  "Stay with me, Cass, and stop risking your life all in the name of trying to save me because there will be no thank you sex for you." I squinted my eyes shut and said with a frown and a playful grin lit his face.

  I picked a broken shard of the flower vase that must have broken during Kate's episode and slashed my wrist.

  "Here you go, Cass. Drink and be healed." I pushed my wrist towards his mouth and watched his fangs blare out before sinking into my wrist. Every drop of blood Cassius drained me off replenished him. His wounds began to heal and color was restored to his skin.
