Victor POV I can feel the sensation of worms starting to crawl up my fingertips, as I see them start to turn purple as if they were losing all the blood they had there.I endure the sensation and hold Ayla's wrist, close to the bracelet, and it's like having my body invaded by these shadows. They're different from the ones Strïth manipulates... No, I'm wrong, the shadows are the same, the difference is that these are not controlled but in their purest state.Ayla turns to me, her emerald eyes completely black."You dare defy me?" Her voice comes out almost cadaverous.I start to hear whispers and see shadows moving around Ayla's ears as if talking to her."Yes,"

 Victor POV It's been a few hours since the events and I haven't been able to get near my room to look at Ayla, after all, I have to sort out the situation at the Castle, as well as the position of the battalions and give orders to the House leaders.Lily managed to discover several spies who were still active within the Castle area, all of whom were arrested and thrown into the dungeon. The humans are now working more on the inside, as well as donating more blood, since for things to run smoothly, the vampires can't be hungry.All this time, Klaus hasn't woken up, which is a good sign, it's better that he stays asleep and doesn't disturb everything, but at the same time, it's bad, because he could wake up in the middle of a battle.After a fin

Victor POVI walk to my room and I can already smell Ayla in the hallway, Skyler is standing in front of the door with a worried expression. I look at Klaus' bedroom door and take a deep breath, already imagining that I'm going to have a problem when the smell reaches him."Keep an eye on Klaus," I ordered and entered the room.I shudder, Ayla's scent is sweet, and I can feel my mouth filling with water at the same time as my body reacts, making me horny, these are things I can't control, but what I'm going to do with them, I can.Ayla is lying with her back to the door, completely naked, in the middle of the bed, where there are a lot of Soren's clothes torn, I can see that there are traces of the clothes coming from the closet in my room, as well as from the door that gives access to Soren's room. All the heaters are broken, and thrown against the walls and the floor, but the temperature in the room is still higher."My Empress," I say softly.Ayla

Ayla POV My body is on fire, the only thing I can think of is how to satisfy myself and that it will help to reduce this unbearable pain. My only relief is to feel Victor's touch, I know he's not my mate, but I'm surrounded by his aura.After a long time, even too long, I feel my mate's aura and wake up. I can smell Victor's blood, but my eyes don't leave Soren and Strïth. I see the Shadows and the Lights fighting each other and I know there's something wrong with them.I put out my hand and see a reddish smoke around my wrist, coming from the bracelet and I hear the voices, they whisper that they need to burn, to be able to be free and I trust them.As soon as Soren holds my hand I feel my very soul being pulled out and in an explosion their energies

Note: This chapter has a good deal of Blood Play. They are vampires, after all :) Soren POV Ayla falls apart, Victor takes his fingers out of her and starts licking and sucking all the cum that's pouring out, its sweet taste made even more intense by Heat. Her body trembles as Victor holds her tighter so she doesn't fall.I want to bury myself in her and finally be able to mark her, but there's still a lot I need to do. I began to move my mouth upwards, licking and sucking her skin, leaving a trace of saliva, but also running the tips of my fangs along her skin, which made it redder, but without any blood flowing.As soon as I reached her breasts, Ayla came again, letting out low, long moans of pleasure, Victor slowing down the intensity of th
