Chapter 48: Love, Blood, and Fangs

Marcus Cutler POV:

“I can’t believe you, Marcus,” Angela seethed as she stalked around the room, circling me like a shark.

“No offense, Angela,” I began, “but your approval isn’t something I really care about right now.”

“You’re a disgrace,” Angela continued angrily. “You’re a disgrace to the Red Chapter. You’re a disgrace to humankind in general.” She stopped, putting herself between me and the tunnel I had come from. “How could you do this? How could you throw your life away like this for a monster?”

I shook my head. “I don’t owe you an explanation, Angela,” I told her. “And even if I did owe you one, you wouldn’t understand.”

“I wouldn’t want to understand anyway,” Angela bit out. “Something as vulgar and obscene as a human being in a relationship with a vampire. It’s better to just put you down now.”

“I was thinking that same thing about you,” I admitted darkly.

“So, you came here to kill me?” Angela accused.
