“No kidding.He’s a fucking bastard.Always has been.Which is why I want to know… How the hell can you be onhisside?”
“I’m not on his side, princess.”
“Uh…except you are.”
“No.”He rubs his forehead, closes his eyes a moment, and then opens them.“Everything is not as it seems.”
“What are you saying, exactly?Are the demons going to overthrow him?”
Rogan widens his eyes.Fuck.Am I right?This war just got a whole lot more meaningful for me.
“Not exactly,” he says finally.
“What, then?Because mates or not, I will not fight on any side that includes Richard Tomlinson.You can’t make me.I may be drawn to you, and I may love you, but I will draw the line at fighting on the same side as the demon who made my sister’s and my lives hell.”
“If I tell you any more,” he says, “I can’t keep you safe.”
“Do you truly have so little faith in me?”I ask.“I’m perfectly capable of keeping myself safe.”
“Are you, though?Why do you think I tested you that first night?Sent Delacourt after you?”
“That was three against one, Rogan, and I held my own.”
“And how do you think it will be with the demons, if you fight on your father’s side?Three against one?It may be ten against one, Hannah.Or more.And I’ll protect you.I can’tnotprotect you.”
“And that’s a bad thing?Why is your side more important than mine, Rogan?You say there’s no choice for me.I feel that.I do.But why must I be the one to give up the loyalty to her side for you?Why can’t you do the same?”
“Because,” he says, “I can’t protect you then.”

“Plus,” Rogan continues, “there’s one other thing you haven’t considered.”
“Yeah?What?”I whip my hands to my hips—
Then it hits me with the force of a hurricane.
The hunger.
The blood lust.
When did I last feed?
God, I don’t remember.
My heart races, and my skin prickles.I’m empty.So empty.
And I know what I need.
His cock back inside me...and my fangs in his neck.
His heart beats in tandem with mine, and I hear it as if it’s inside my own body.
Th-Thump.Th-Thump.Th-Thump.
My gums itch and tingle, and then my canines descend with a sharp snap.
“See something you want, princess?Or rather...hearsomething you want?”
