He smirked. ” what?
Act like you know everything about me when, in truth, you only know what you can find out in a background check. “I blinked and sucked in a soft breath.“a background check doesn’t allow anyone to know what someone felt thought or would do. And as long as you don’t know all these things, you will never truly know me
Why would I want to know more than I need? A cold amusement flickered in his eyes again.
d me as his woman
*I understand what you are saying. “I threw his words back at him. I suppose you only needed to know that your brother‘ had me as before you bought me by paying the highest prize ever paid for a slave.”
The flicker was snuffed out quickly. Before I could react, Darius moved at a crazy speed and hovered above me. I gasped softly, my jaw hanging low as he placed his hand on the headrest and leaned in.
The coldness radiating from his eyes sent a shiver down my back. “You seem to want to push my buttons, little wolf”
You revealed it to me. You must have wanted me to push your buttons. “I whispered calmly, even when our faces were inches apart.
He narrowed his eyes on me.
are you really that?”
“What?” I clenched my fists tighter by my side as I stared at his face.
There was a strange resemblance in his features and Maximus stoic face, I had just noticed it, and it knocked the breath out of my lungs
“Are you really his woman? Does he truly care about you, or are you just someone he likes to play with? “His voice was lethally low.
Why? “I licked my lips, and his sharp eyes, to my utter surprise, followed that small movement
If he cares about you, I would hurt you. His gaze snapped to mine before he removed his hand from the headrest and used it to slide my hair behind my car instead.
I wanted to recoil, but I didn’t. I didn’t want the band to shock me.
I am—someone he likes to play with. So what will you do then?” I smiled. That’s right.
He liked to tell me he wanted a family with me, yet he could never give me an official title. He wanted to be good to me, yet he couldn’t even pretend to understand me. He was supposed to be my mate, but he never protected me.
Why were these signs, not enough for me to understand that he was toying with me before!
Darius stared at me, his cold fingers brushing against the shell of my ear. The coldness was not scaring me.
It was like my mind was hazy. I didn’t understand why my mind fell a sudden llip after he drank my blood.
Was I under some sort of influence? Or had I simply accepted that I had to get out of here on my own? Or was I angry that someone who held a grudge against Maximus had gotten his hand on me!
Why did you call him your brother? What is your grudge against him? Why target me to hurt him?” i my senses at once.
Darius‘ lips curled into a cold smirk again.” why should I tell you?
I asked all the questions that were assaulting
My shoulders stiffened, but I still nodded. His eyes lowered to my lips one last time before I felt like he was about to pull away
I spoke up before he could do that. Give me clothes to wear.
His brows shot up.
Please. You said you would treat me better if I behaved. I am trying to do that.” I added a whisper.

They were paler than any I had ever seen before. The signs were there all along, yet I couldn’t see them when I was drowning in my hopeless thoughts.
And let me go out of the room. “I said, dragging my gaze back to his dark eyes.
Making demands now, are we?” He chuckled, a dark–low laugh that made me shudder.
* I can’t run away from you even if I want to. “I lifted my hand and showed him the black band on my wrist, this won’t let me. What do you have to fear from a defenseless, helpless woman like me then?”
–
Would you let me drink your blood willingly if I allow you to roam free and look for ways of escape openly? His lips twitched.
My throat dried. And instantly. I shook my head without hesitation.
He laughed again. “I would take it anyway. So, you should have agreed.
–
There are some things that you should know you are taking by force. Maybe, someday in the future, when you are old and alone, you them. “I shrugged, annoyance filling my mind.
will regret
Darius shook his head, the amusement still flickering in his eyes. “that’s the point, Little wolf. You are cute to think that I will regret it, but I have such a long life ahead of me that I won’t even think about you in the future.
There was a bitterness to his words and his eyes. I nodded without thought and didn’t say anything.
Darius stared at me for a long time before he marched to the door and pulled it open. I watched him go silently. Clothes would do for now. I would come to the point of getting him to let me out of the room later sometime.
I was just thinking when his voice shattered my trance.” wear the dress I sent you and have dinner with me in the dining room tonight.”
My eyes widened, nervousness and relief flashing in them at once. I caught him glancing at me from over his shoulder and instantly masked my
reaction.
Darius rolled his eyes before he strolled out and closed the door behind him. Either he was underestimating me, or there was really no way out of here.
But he didn’t understand. I was not only searching for a way out. I was looking for answers,
I had asked Maximus about where his real mother was one night in the penthouse, and he had said he couldn’t find her.
But this man before me—the man who called Maximus his brother, resembled his face, and was a vampire—had to know.
Because Maximus mother was
was a vampire. And only a vampire could give birth to someone like Darius.
From what I speculated, Darius and Maximus mother had to be the same woman. But it also meant Darius was a pure–blooded vampire. Only they were born, raised, and not turned.
In the end, if everything I was doubting turned out to be true, I was in deep trouble.
