When Helen released her fromthe bonds of her will, the girl didn’t even scream nor show a single sign of surpriseat seeing a naked blonde next to her capturer; her eyes went wide in fear and only amoment later, she was already running through the dark. Alina’s guttural laughter turnedinto a growl as she changed into a wolf, and then the two of them begun their hunt.Helen glances at the she-wolf; the impressive animal moves graciously, muscles tensingand relaxing in a display of incredible strength, and deep snarls coming from her throatsound so dangerous Helen is thankful for not being Alina’s opponent in this hunt. Shedoesn’t dare to imagine how intimidating those sharp teeth can be, how iron strongthose muscles are when pinning her victim to the ground, how little seconds it takes herto tear her prey to pieces. How long would it take her to kill a vampire, Helen brieflywonders, shuddering as her skin tingles at the thought.

But at this moment, it doesn’t matter. Helen will think about it tomorrow,after this night of moonlit promises is over.Alina looks at her briefly, her eyes shining like the moon, and Helen can swear she readssome of her own thoughts in those two silver pools of light.

I’ll do… whatever you want me to.”Helen glances at Alina; the she-wolf ’s shiny eyes tell her it is time for feasting. Thevampire then looks at the shivering girl and smiles, allowing her fangs to be seen. The girlflinches as her eyes widen even more, pure horror filling them.
