Ryan started to stagger after making a turn at the floor corridor. The dark red velvety carpet started to become blurry. Ryan clenched his jaw and stopped to rub at the spot between his eyebrows. What was happening to him?
Poisonous desire started to burn inside his heart, threatening to engulf every bit of his senses. Ryan knew what it was.
Aphrodisiac.
His drink had been laced with an aphrodisiac. Human aphrodisiacs did not work for vampires. Whoever it was used vampire aphrodisiac to specifically target him. No other vampires attended the banquet.
Ryan slammed his fist against the wall in anger.
"Sir? Are you alright?"
Ryan's head snapped up. The young man who stood in front of him widened his eyes in surprise.
"It's you, Mr. Caldwell…"
Ryan's eyes wandered from Aiden's surprised face to the throbbing vein at his neck. He could almost hear the pulsing life as if he was holding the young man hostage in his arms. Ryan shook his head repeatedly.
