"Well fuck me sideways," Eric drawled once I was done speaking. He ran his hands through his hair, the corner of his lips tugging upwards. "Of course you're the daughter of a vampire king. You just can't do shit halfway, can you?"

He laughed loudly, his hands resting on his stomach to hold himself back. "Damn right you are. Goddess… a vampire. I've never seen one of you before."
"Technically, I'm not a full vampire," I reminded him. "I still have a wolf, and that's the most dominant part of me… at least right now."
"How does your wolf feel about this?"
I tried reaching out to her but she had up a wall between us. It'd been there since the moment Allister told me what I was. I felt her confusion, then her panic, then she slammed the wall shut and refused to speak to me after that.
