Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Forced My Hand

　　~ CASIMIR ~

　　Kill, or claim?

　　Anything less, and the moment that door was unbarred, those males would kill me to take her. Or force me to compel or kill all of them.

　　The truth was, even after this, I didn't want her dead. She was the most fascinating of the females who had ever been brought to me. I looked forward to awakening her, teaching her, molding her. And the power she brought me when she submitted…

　　That power throbbed in my veins as, despite her fear, she must have chosen to give herself, because suddenly my blood pulsed with fire and heat and power, and my hands were shaking.

　　But if I wasn't going to kill her, that meant there was only one choice left. And I hadn't planned to claim her. Wouldn't even have considered it until she gave me an heir. Yet she'd found a way to force my hand.

　　God, I could have smacked her for that. But I refused to become my father.
