"More, babe…" Zeke continued whispering to her in a soft voice as she drew on his blood. "Don't stop… it's not enough yet, Alicia."
Zeke could feel her trembling. Wanting to stop. But he could not let her stop. He needed her to drink more. When Zeres came to him and told him about the content of that spell that could bring Alicia back to life, while Alicia was asleep, Zeke had decided not to tell Alicia at all. Because the sacrifice that was needed in exchange for the spell to work was a vampire royal's blood. And it was not just a small amount. It should be enough to actually cause the vampire royal's death. In short, it was an exchange of life.
