Kapitel 76: Chapter 76

A strange but warm sense overcomes me. I look to the darkness ahead, noticing crimson eyes staring right at me. My body wants to be closer, and my mind feels like it’s going a hundred miles per hour. My wand glows brightly enough to see two hands grasping the bars as I approach, his eyes still fixed on me.

Strangely, I hear numerous whispers in my mind at once. ‘This way, come closer. It’s okay, so beautiful,’ the voices say.

Without realising it, my hand stretches out to touch his. He grips my wrist as our fingers connect, and I feel a slight burn on my wrist. Yiselda grabs my arm and pulls me back.

‘Be careful, dear, that is the Vampire King, Alec,’ she warns. Then, raising her wand, his cell lights up. I glimpse his black hair and light brown eyes before he flourishes his cloak over his face and retreats.

I examine my wrist and notice a peculiar little mark. A strange sensation runs through my body. I shake it off and turn to face Alec.
