A queen does not stutter. You should speak freely to me, Freda. I don’t bite well, I do technically, but you understand what I mean.” I turned to look at her, making sure she could see the softness in my eyes, the softness I held only for her.
When I saw a smile on her face, I breathed a sigh of relief.
“We’re here, the guard announced.
As soon as we reached the cage that held the beast, he saw me and bared is teeth for a brief second. He retracted them when he saw his daughter. The look of anger vanished, replaced with sadness. He looked at her like she was the most valuable thing in his life.
I turned to look at Freda. She had tears in her eyes.
I should give them space, I thought. But I didn’t. I wanted to finish why he’d called me here so we could leave before he tried to talk Freda out of this union while she was in such a vulnerable state.

“But that’s too soon! I mean, I still don’t know anything about the vampire kingdom, and….”
“Over my dead body will that ceremony be held! There’s no way we’re joining families….”
‘I assure you, we can hold the ceremony over your dead body if that’s what you prefer.” I was growing irritated. The wolf was beginning to provoke me. If it weren’t for Freda, I would have taken his head.
“You have to push it forward, Damien.”
A jolt went down my spine. It was the first time she’d said my name aloud and it sent my mind to places I wished it hadn’t because now I wanted her to keep saying my name.
