Deceiving Senses

Paul - His villa

I’ve never been so enraged, not even when Alin challenged my decision in front of everyone, nor when my father or Lexa left me. There’s something inside of me, a weakness I need to smother.

Laura’s presence transforms me into a person I don’t recognize. I don’t want to change for a woman who’s not mine to keep. A sad chuckle comes out at the thought that I claimed her nevertheless. What was I thinking?

Why do I insist on seeing her as anything other than a selfish bloodsucking strigoi? Blood boils inside my veins. I can't explain what's happening to me, but I'm certain of one thing. I should have killed her on the spot.

Marching like a blind lunatic, I bump into Ana, who is dusting a table in the corridor. She opens her mouth, most probably to apologize, even though I’m the one who wasn't paying attention.
