Big hands grip my hips as his smile softens. “You have fully turned.”

Slowly, I slide my hands down to the base of my horns. The sensation sends a shiver down my spine. It’s nothing like when Vameer touched them. But they’re… sensitive.

I let go of my hold and run my fingers through my hair. Then I shake my head side to side.

They aren’t heavy, like I thought they would be. I can feel my hair settling around them, but without that, I don’t think I’d even realize they were there.

I slide my hands down my cheeks, feeling my fangs with my tongue.

Then down my chest and sides.

I feel the same.

My body feels the same.

My squishy parts are still squishy.

I have horns. I’m…

I blink as I soak in the fact that I am a vampire.

My hands drop to my lap. “Holy shit.”

A stifled snicker pulls my attention to the side.

Nix is sitting on the ground beside Volik, who looks to be asleep, flat on his back.

She grins and mouths Holy shit back to me.

Absorbing the moment, I look around at the green leaves overhead. The trees as far as I can see in every direction. The grassy forest floor.

It’s too warm to be Volik’s forest. And too green to be anywhere else up north.

“Where are we?”

“We’re in Dread’s forest,” Vameer replies. And sitting like this, on his chest, I feel the vibrations of his voice against my ass.

I wiggle. “Where’s that?”

Movement to the side has us both looking over.

Volik’s eyes are open, and his head is facing this way. “Yes, brother. Where is⁠—”

A tree root pops out of the ground, moving like it’s going to cover Volik’s mouth.

I let out a squeak of surprise at the sudden, unexpected scene as Volik rolls away, his speed indicating the use of gravito.

He wraps his arms around Nix as he goes, bringing her with him.

The root sticking out of the ground sags, like it’s disappointed, then slowly disappears back into the earth.

My mouth is hanging open.

What in the hells…

A fingertip presses against my chin, closing my mouth.

I look down at Vameer. “Did you see that?” His unfazed expression annoys me, and I look over to where Nix is now sitting on Volik’s lap. “Did you see that?”
