"He knows what he's doing."
"Just don't get upset. Don't watch if you have to. We're
almost done."
"You just don't get it."
"I understand perfectly." She kissed his cheek and felt his
jaw tighten. "But I'm not the least bit interested in him.
Anything that might happen will be fake."
He nodded. "When this is done, you're going to be hungry.
We'll go into the back for your first."
"Mmmm. Sounds like you've already picked someone."
"I have." He kissed her forehead and his face lit up. "I
think you'll like my choice."
"I can't wait."
Michael cleared his throat behind her, "Are we ready?"
Elena turned to see Michael and Tori, who was glaring at
her through narrowed eyes. "Uh. I think so."
"What name have you chosen?"
"Iuliana," Jonas said with an Italian accent.
Michael smiled. "You've returned to the old names?"
Jonas nodded. "I'm going to use my real name from now
on. She wanted something suitable to match it."
He nodded, "Then Luciano and Iuliana it is." Michael's hand
reached for hers. "Let's go."
Jonas clinched his jaw. Elena kissed it and felt him soften a
little. "I'll be right back."
She followed Michael, holding on to his surprisingly warm
hand as he led her to the center of the open floor. The others
all watched. The music went low, and Gregory, Blane and a

few others stood in front of the doors to keep anyone from
coming in or leaving.
Michael smiled down at her. "Tonight, I announce the
newest member of our cosca, Iuliana. She is the neonato and
compagna of Luciano." He patted her hand. "And my
grandchild. She is also one of the Council's Specialists. I
expect all of the privileges and honors due to her through this
title. Any offense on her is an offense on your padrone." He
turned toward her. "Kneel, sorella."
Elena, now officially Iuliana, went to her knee. Jonas had
told her what this would be like, but doing it in front of so
many strangers made it awkward.
Michael cut his wrist with his own teeth and held it to her.
The wound had already sealed, stopping the flow of blood
before he turned it to her. "The blood you take will bind you
to me as your padrone. Each of your brothers and sisters has
done the same before you. Know that what you take now will
seal your death if you betray us."
Elena nodded, and Michael nodded to her in return. She
discreetly licked a slow line up the trail of blood, taking it in.
It burned and sparked in her mouth. This blood was stronger
than Jonas's and could easily be a drug of its own. The potent
taste of it sparked something in her mind. A warm electricity
flowed from the top of her head down. Her breath flowed out
as a chill covered her skin. It was more than she'd expected,
even with last night's warning that taking Michael's blood
would bind her metaphysically to him, creating a loyalty
beyond what she could imagine. It could only be rivaled by
the one she shared with her mate.

She looked up at the padrone and knew Jonas was right.
She would never betray him. God help her if she ever had to
choose between him and Jonas. It would be easier to end her
own life.
Michael pulled her to her feet. "Now, on a separate
subject. Luciano breached the Alleanza during his last
assignment."
Elena watched as Gregory and Blane went to stand in front
of him. He looked pained, his brows furrowed.
"He allowed a human to know of our existence and our
secrets." Michael stopped, waiting for the hisses to end. "For
this, the Council has decided that the Scarico will be an
appropriate penance for the transgression." Jonas's head
hung as Michael continued. "Since Iuliana is his new
compagna, she will be the payment for his mistake."
Elena took a breath she didn't need, but it helped settle
the new butterflies in her belly.
Michael held his arms out to her.
Oh shit. He wanted her neck. She glanced toward Jonas.
He was already trying to get past Gregory and Blane,
snarling. It's going to be okay, she said silently but didn't
convince herself.
Stepping into Michael's arms and smelling that different
but equally intoxicating scent confirmed it. That succubus
inside her cackled. She wanted Michael, to push him to the
ground and fuck him in front of everyone.
La, la, la, la, la. She couldn't let Jonas know what she felt.
He roared from behind her.
Too late.

Michael smirked and whispered so low in her ear. "He'll be
fine. Just be good to him afterward. He had this coming to
him."
She closed her eyes and surrendered her neck. Michael
pulled her hair back and hovered just above her skin, but his
aura was mixing with her, rousing her so close to an orgasm
already. Whatever strange power she'd inherited from him
recognized its origin and blazed to life inside her. Suddenly, it
was almost impossible not to touch him, not to slide her
hands inside his shirt.
Michael swallowed down a groan, but she caught the first
bit and hoped that Jonas didn't. He sniffed her slowly, "Is this
what I smell like to them?"
He was obviously not talking to her, but she couldn't stop
herself from saying, "Yes."
"Try not to react."
He slid a hand around her waist and pulled her hard
against him. Too close. She could feel every inch of him
conforming to her curves.
Then he bit her.
His lips were soft on her skin, warm and inviting. His teeth
slid into her with a cold precision that brought no pain that
wasn't coupled with an equal or great pleasure. It launched
her immediately into a soft, pink orgasm. She bit her lip so
that no sound escaped, then tried not to hold onto him too
hard and to keep both feet on the ground.
Her brain went to mush. The only sound in the room was
that of Michael breathing against her skin. That dark vixen
inside her cackled with sadistic pleasure.

Michael pulled his teeth from her skin and licked closed the
wounds.
Elena stiffened against her body's attempt to shiver, then
opened her eyes. Her heart was pounding but her body felt
weak. Please let me be able to stand. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
