"So tell me the truth," said the woman, her voice slicing through the air with a sharp edge. Even though I felt better after drinking the blood, I pretended not to understand what she was implying.
"What are you talking about?" I replied, attempting to maintain an innocent facade, though I knew it almost never worked on this woman.
"Don't take me for a fool, Aurelia. You've already drunk blood directly from a human, haven't you?" Her words were laced with confidence, leaving no room for denial.
I sighed, realizing there was no point in hiding it any longer. "Well, that's true, but I usually never lose control of my desires," I admitted reluctantly, sinking into a chair.
The woman's laughter filled the room, echoing off the walls before she spoke again. "She's not your perfect match for nothing. Even if you don't want to admit it, your body's asking for Lydia."
