“I know what you are,” I whispered.
Adrian didn’t flinch. “Do you.” His voice was a low rasp.
I reached into my clutch, pulled out a tiny shard of glass I’d kept from before—why, I didn’t even know—and without flinching, sliced my palm open. Blood welled instantly, hot and red. His nostrils flared. His eyes bled crimson.
“You’re insane,” he growled, stepping back.
“No,” I said, stepping forward. “I’m curious.”
He moved in a blur, faster than I could blink, grabbing me by the throat—not hard enough to hurt, just enough to hold me still. His fangs had descended, sharp and glinting.”

“I swear, I could wipe out every man in Vladivostok if it would make her speak. If it would make her pour out her fears so I could protect her from them. Let me see every wound, so I can dress them. Let me meet her demons, so I can kill every last one of them.”

“She was Persephone.
Pure spring caught in the harsh reality of my dark domain.
And I?
I was Hades.
King of an underworld forged not of myth but of concrete and blood.
I knew, in the gut-wrenching way only a man like me could, that what I was about to do was wrong. I knew every fiber of her being would scream against the chains I hadn’t even yet forged—but I couldn’t stop the inevitable.
I would make her mine.
My craving consumed me—an overwhelming longing that defied logic, morality, and every rule I lived by. Everything about it screamed violation. But as I watched her, seeing the fragile strength beneath the pain, the absolute virginity of her soul laid bare…
A hunger I had never even known existed devoured me.
I couldn’t stop.
I wouldn’t.”
