Bab 99: Trickle of fear

The mermaid screamed in agony, her voice echoing and reverberating on the walls of the closed ballroom. 

The second scale had been mercilessly plucked from her body by the werewolf, and he ran his hand on the slimy scales before putting them in his mouth. He closed his eyes, enjoying the taste of the mermaid.

"Absolutely delicious," the man licked his lips clean to remove any residue on his lips. When he opened his eyes, his eyes continued to glow. There was a hunger in eyes that would be sated only by having a bite, as the taste of the two scales had only evoked his appetite. He turned to Lady Annalise and politely stated, "I am not someone who likes to eat leftovers, but if you have no use for this one once you draw the last drop of blood from her body, I would be more than pleased to accept her when you are done with this one."
