Chapter 60: Chapter 62

Ophiomormous

adj. Snakelike.

It had been more than twenty minutes and still I hadn't received a response from Kieran. I had managed to wrap up my conversation with the Viktor and his siblings, confident enough to think we'd have a new ally but before I could escape and begin hunting for my mate, I was approached by an unknown vampire.

He had bright red eyes and dark brown hair. Like all vampires, he was quite handsome but he had an air of superiority about him, making him even more intimidating than everyone else.

"Artemis is it?" He asked, his eyes never leaving my face. It was quite unsettling but I didn't want to look weak so I met his eyes.

"Yes and who might you be?" My tone was polite but I let my suspicion leak in.

"Nikolai Valesky, Third Prince," he held my hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it, his lips lingering longer than polite. I gave him a slight smile and pulled my hand back.
