They laughed, pulling me towards them, and I kicked as my body collided with something solid and cold.
Another scream ripped from my throat, but a large, calloused hand landed on my mouth. My assailant’s fingers gripped my jaw shut as they dragged me through the darkness, snarling, “Quiet, mortal.”
I recognized the voice. The winged male who led this horrible group of vampires yanked me, even as I kicked and scratched at his arm. It was no use. His grip was like iron as he dragged me through the darkness.
The screams grew fainter, and now the air was colder. My captor lifted his hand off my mouth. The second my jaw was free, I screamed at the top of my lungs. The male wrenched aside my hair, swearing as I lifted a knee and aimed for the place that all males protected with their lives.
My aim was off.
“Stupid bitch,” he swore, his hand slamming back onto my mouth as he dragged me kicking through the darkness. “I was just going to kill you, but now, I think I have a more worthy punishment for you. One that will harm you as much as it does that husband of yours.”
My eyes widened, and I shook my head, struggling even harder. He laughed, roughly yanking my hair to the side. My eyes watered. His hand lifted from my mouth, and I drew in a breath to scream again. Before I could do anything, two piercing points of pain erupted like flames on my neck.
Fangs.
This bite was not gentle. It was not pleasurable, nor was it loving. This bite was one of nightmares. The vampire drank my blood as I struggled against him, but it was no use. He was far too strong. Pinning my arms against my side, he groaned.
Black spots appeared in front of my vision, and my head swam. My knees shook and my entire body grew weak as the vampire pulled out my lifeblood. Dark. Everything was dark. Darkness was inside me. Around me. There was no difference anymore.
I always knew the vampires would kill me.
I had heard the stories. Read the accounts of what happened to people whose lives were ended by vampires. And now, here I was.
Getting the chance to experience it firsthand. I never thought death would feel like this. My head spun and my entire body felt weak. This was it.
My life was slipping away, and there was nothing more I could do. The vampire drew more of my blood into his body, and I trembled in his grasp.
One final breath escaped my lips as my eyes fluttered shut. The cruel male kept drinking, but I couldn’t struggle anymore. I had nothing left.
The last thought in my mind before everything went black was Sebastian.
If only he knew I loved him.
