BORI'S POV
I could not sleep. Not even a fucking wink!
No matter how many times I shifted my positions or how tightly I closed my eyes, it just would not come. My mind was twisted, tangled, and restless for the first time in years. It felt like the darkness in this room was closing on me, and I could not stop thinking about him.
Albanus. My father. The human turned Vampire and the Leader of Draego.
How was I going to face him? I kept asking myself that repeatedly. What was I even going to say when I stood before him? The thought of his eyes on me—cold, stern, like they always were, made my chest tighten. I had not seen him in so long, and I don't know if I wanted to and now it was not a choice.
