Rhain observed the peaceful figure of Daisy, her breaths soft and rhythmic in the cocoon of slumber. Her previous state of high distress and fear was precisely what he enjoyed in his prey, yet he had employed his preternatural abilities to lull her into sleep. Now was not the time for hunting, and with Daisy, he wanted more than her blood. She intrigued him, and he wouldn't deny himself his other desires.
He sighed. Too bad he wouldn't be able to keep her for long.
He had taken care of her worried family, who had been frantically searching for her, except for the callous stepmother who had orchestrated this turmoil. Rhain had no interest in family dramas. Had Katherine stuck to her daily torture, he would not have interfered, but now she was a thorn in his side, threatening to spoil his chase and interfere with his other schemes.
Well, that could be fun too, he thought with a wicked smile.
