Chapter 117: Coming back

After sating her thirst, Schwi reluctantly released her grip on Adrian's arms and recoiled in shock, her eyes widening with realization as if emerging from a trance.

"Had enough?" Adrian inquired casually, wriggling his arm free from her grasp. The wounds inflicted by her fangs sizzled momentarily in darkness before miraculously closing.

"What... what did I just do?" Schwi stammered, struggling to comprehend the implications of her actions.

"You fed?" Adrian replied with an almost amused expression, regarding Schwi as if she had asked the most absurd question.

His response triggered a surge of frustration within Schwi, yet now that her mind had cleared and the insatiable thirst had dissipated, a newfound awareness washed over her. 

The senses that had been veiled by her broken rationality and intense anger were now unobstructed, cautioning her to be wary and consider the option of fleeing if possible.
