He tackled me to the ground and began
pounding my face. It was beyond me how he even knew who Sofia was, much less understand why she was so important to him. I knew how she had this inexplicable way about her that drew me to her, but what was it about her that caused my entire world to start spinning around her?

I tasted blood on my lips as Borys continued to attack me. All I could think of was how much I wished that blood belonged to
Sofia.
What I would give to taste her again?
I was already sure that Borys’ attacks weren’t going to stop until he’d pounded the brains out of me until a sharp female voice called out his name.

“Borys! What are you doing?”

Borys immediately stopped hitting me and turned toward her. “He has Sofia.
Derek Novak
has her! She’s mine, Ingrid. Sofia Claremont is
mine
.”

“Of course she is
… Sofia is yours, Borys. We’ll get her back.” She spoke soothingly, like a mother calming a young boy.

Ingrid Maslen.
The newest vampire in their coven. I trembled at the mention of the name and all the rumors that came with it. I staggered to my feet. Rumors of Ingrid Maslen’s beauty and how she came to be a part of the Maslen clan resurfaced in my mind and I couldn’t wait to catch a glimpse of her.

Her face was hidden by Borys’ large, imposing form as she embraced him, whispering calming words into his ear. Something Borys said caught my
attention and sent chills running down my spine.

He pulled away from her and said, “You gave her to me, Ingrid
. You remember that.”

“
Of course … I did.”

I strained my neck to catch a glimpse of Ingrid and gasped upon finally laying eyes on her. She was the splitting image of
Sofia, albeit an older version. Her eyes met mine and she brushed past Borys to face me.

“You can either tell us what we need to know, Novak, or I will use the means that
I
know to get the information out of you. Either way, we’re going to find out how to take Sofia away from your brother and bring her here where she belongs.”

“Who are you?” I found myself asking.

“Suffice it to say, I was once Camilla Claremont...”
