Chapter 14Rene froze, unable to move as a knife pressed into the tender flesh of his neck. A figure appeared in the doorway of the cell where, moments before, Rene had discovered Evan and Will gone. Morgan was nowhere to be found. Rene knew he would be executed as soon as Mordell found out, but the knife currently at his throat was not his lord’s doing. The figure moved into the light of the torch. A chill swept over Rene.
“Annette,” he whispered breathlessly.
“Hello, dear brother,” the vampiress purred.
“Ann, what’s going on? What are you doing?”
“Something I should have done a long time ago, Rene.” She nodded.
Rene was turned around to face the very mortal he thought he had lost.
“You’re Mordell’s w***e?” Morgan asked him. Rene nodded slowly. “Good. Then send him this.”
