Bad Blood
There was a strange sense of surreal feeling as Lukas struggled to move. It was like being trapped in some kind of dream where you were aware that you were in one—unfortunately he couldn't force himself to wake up.
However, he had all the wits to know that if he died here… he would actually end up dead. Chaerin would come find him in the room and already gone that she might think that he killed himself or was assassinated.
Lukas couldn't let that happen.
What was the reason why he couldn't move? Lukas's gaze flickered to the woman and he realized that it might be because of her aura. Just the sight of her caused his entire body to go rigid with fear.
That was true domination.
A power unlike anything Lukas had ever seen before—and that was even when he had met Serena Weiss or Stacy Vardoken. This ancestor of the Sanguise House was on another completely level of her own.
"Tick-tock, boy." She spoke. "The water is rising and I fear that you may drown before everything is over."
