32. Varlets

Astrid's POV:

I gasped as his eyes caught my attention. They turned pitch black momentarily before shifting to crimson and returning to normal.

"What happened? What did I do?" Rafael asked, shaking his head, to exit the zone he had just entered.

Scanning the room, I found everyone seemingly unfazed. Perhaps this is usual for vampires, just as it is natural for us to transform into wolves and grow fur on our bodies. I'm not sure why it happened; as I previously stated, I'm not familiar with vampires, and I had no idea that a mate's blood could be used to kill even a royal.

It disturbs me...
