Chapter Two Hundred
RILEY
I woke up with a strange hunger and thirst.
I stared at Thane; he had his hands wrapped around mine.
“You would be fine,” he promised, kissing my knuckles.
“You are back.” I whispered, and he nodded.
“I am; Nick will be here soon, I don’t think he did this; he speaks of a sorceress; could help,” he informs.
I nodded absentmindedly.

The sorceress was coming; how was I going to keep this a secret for much longer?
My breathing quickened
“Riley, are you alright?” He questioned the slight panic in his eyes. I nodded. “Look at me, Riley,” and I did as he said. “Breathe in and breathe out very slowly.” I did just that, and after a while I felt better.
“I’m fine, thank you,” I said.
The hunger panged at my stomach. I stared up at him; his scent was so nice, and then his neck. I couldn’t get my eyes off it.
“I’ll get you something to eat,” he says, rising to his feet.
“No, please don’t leave me.” I pleaded.
He sat back beside me. “I am here, always.”
“Kiss me.”
It had been an urge in me to say those words, and I blinked, even more surprised by my own
words than He was.
Thane leaned closer to me, and then he claimed my lips.
My whole body tingled. I’ve missed this. With him, there would always be the electricity and the sparks; there would always be that churning in my stomach when he touched me.
I would think of how bad a decision this was or why exactly I yearned for this later. But for now, I fell into the kiss.
I gripped his hair hard; the kiss got rough. A sneer left my lips. I kissed him more, biting into his lips and drawing blood.
The moment I tasted the metallic liquid, something changed in me. I wanted more; I sucked

against his lips, drawing blood, and just when I couldn’t get anymore, I bit into his lips again.
Finally the door pulled open, and I pulled away from Thane. Axel walked in with some food.
Thane’s lips were beautifully swollen and red.
“More,” I growled, and only then did he stare at me with a questioning look.
He didn’t deny me his kiss, but then my kisses trailed lower, down his neck, and my teeth grazed his neck.
Every single part of me knew this was wrong, and yet… yet I couldn’t stop the urge; it was so
strong.
I bit into his skin, taking in his blood. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever tasted.
Thane let out a growl. He was enjoying this; he shouldn’t enjoy it, and yet he was, because he was always that twisted.
I was ripped off him.
Axel’s hands wrapped around me, holding me down.
Finally, the urge had died down.
“What the hell?” Axel cursed. Thane blinked.
“What are you doing? Let her go,” Thane said to Axel.
“She was drinking your blood.”
Thane shrugged. “And it’s bad because?”
“She wasn’t doing that for fun, Thane; she looked starved and hungry. Take a look at those teeth,” he said, and two pairs of eyes were on me.
“I’m sorry… I couldn’t stop; I’m so sorry.” I cried.
Thane finally seemed to understand that this wasn’t some sort of kinky escapade. “It’s fine.” Thane says to me,
“You should eat. Axel, I need to talk to you.”
I sat alone in the healing room; my brain in a haze.
What the hell is wrong with me?
I stared at my stomach. Oh my… It hadn’t been this size a while ago. I managed to rise; the weight of my stomach was prominent now.
I headed to the bathroom, and after I was done with my business, I washed my face.
When I stared at the mirror, I was surprised by what I saw.
I was thin, very thin; my blue eyes seemed darker, and my stomach was huge. There was no way this was normal.
