Quenching The Bloodthirst

"NOOOOO!!!"

Before Lucien could stop his daughter, Aria already left his side and ran toward Aiden.

"Miss!"

"Little Miss!"

"Princess!"

"ARIA!" Ronan shouted.

Aria hugged one of Aiden's arms and refused to let go.

Lucien's heart almost stopped at that very moment.

Since when was it a good idea to get close to a newborn vampire?

Not to mention that vampires generally hated werewolves, newborn vampires typically lacked the ability to control their bloodlust! Aria was just a little girl! A vampire could shred her into pieces easily!

But Aiden, this vampire who was not even aware of his transformation, only lowered his head to look at the young she-wolf who insisted on protecting him.

Aria looked up at him, tears glistening in her eyes. Although they only met less than a day ago, she truly meant to preserve his life.

Aiden was touched.

Something about the way he looked at Aria calmed Lucien down somehow.

"Come here, NOW!" Ronan shouted.

"No!" Aria said in defiance.
