"You are full of wounds," he added.Beatrice looked at the man in front of her as her eyes grew used to the low light. It was Lucas, of course, outlined against the fire's flickering light. When she saw him, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a flurry of emotions as she tried to process what was going on around her."L-Lucas..." she called his name.

In one last attempt to soothe Lucas's wounds, Beatrice put her quivering palms to his lips and offered him her blood. She felt a wave of heat course through her veins as the red liquid seeped into his mouth, along with a bittersweet rush of both comfort and fear.But the atmosphere changed in an instant.

Morning came and during breakfast at the grand dining room in the palace of blood pack, Beatrice couldn't look at Dylan. She was feeling guilty of what she did. She was neither annoyed because Dylan ignored her and didn't slept with her last night.She knew where he's coming from and she knew that something between them is not really okay. Something they need to fix but she felt something is missing. She felt that he's slowly moving away from her.Despite that, she shook her head as she continued eating her food. All are silent. No one speaks up during the breakfast. Her twins are busy with their food too but when her eyes met his gaze, the tension becomes heavy.She looked away and bit her lower lip.
