Chapter 2

"Now that you know who's in charge, I want you to know what I desire..."

The dhampir walks back and forth before the succubus, pacing around her room, her boots making clicking sounds every step she does. Jennie could only stare and force herself to remain standing, ignoring the weird feeling she feels on her knees and throat that made her vulnerable.

Lisa pulls out a small silver blade and plays it around her slender fingers, "I just can't sit and watch your army slaughter humans, especially women and children. As far as I'm concerned, you've already talked to Suho about it years ago and you accepted the deal." her thumb kisses the sharp side of the blade and glances at Jennie, "What changed your mind all of a sudden?"

The vampire raises her eyebrow, "I didn't change anything, half-breed. What? You think I control them? What they do is not my problem anymore," she answered with a more challenging tone.

"You agreed that you're not going to let any vampire step on the mortals' territory,"

Jennie fakes a chuckle, "I agreed but did they?" she responded and shakes her head, "I didn't turn or drain anyone since the moment we had an agreement. Even a single drop of anyone's blood hasn't touched my lips for so long, that was three years ago."

The dhampir grits her teeth, "You think this is funny? That you're breaking your promise?"

"I don't make promises, half-breed." she says with a tired red eyes, "And aren't you supposed to feel relieved I'm not the one off the leash? I could easily kill half of the population outside this city, you're worried about the wrong thing."

Lisa felt anger rushes all over her and swiftly grips the vampire's neck, almost crushing it with one hand, "I'm not in the mood for your bullshit," she glares and meets her by the eyes. "If you keep letting them hunt humans, I...will be the one killing you off."

The queen smirks and stretches her fingers into claws before swinging on the dhampir's face, making her let go of her neck. She slowly turns to Jennie, showing her four long scratch along her cheek down near the corner of her mouth.

"You think a mere half breed like you can end me?" she mutters and pushes Lisa against the wall too strongly, leaving a crack behind her head. She scans her face and scoffs, "That was brave of you,"

Lisa tries to get her hand away but not a single progress was made. Her nails digging deep on the sides of her neck makes it hard to move. She watched the vampire leans in and sensed that she'll do something dangerous. Jennie stares at her neck and thought of licking the blood dripping off the holes she leaves on her skin.

Until she felt her heart tighten, her whole limbs weakening and head pounding hard. She unknowingly fell on her knees, feels like she's choking and couldn't breathe. She gasped for air and repeatedly hits her chest in agony.

Lisa breathed out heavily and ignores the queen, "Meet me once you've made your decision," she mumbles before walking past her on the floor.

Not a few steps after, she felt a strong grip on her torso, keeping her from making any move. She turns and sees Jennie's hand clutching her bottoms, stopping her from leaving.

Jennie looks at her, her red eyes fading into a dark shade of brown, "You..."

"I'm looking forward to see you, my queen." she mocked and kicks her hand off, before completely leaving the room without turning her back.

The vampire internally cusses and crawls to her shelf, where multiple of racks full of tubes of blood can be seen. She has been drinking these since the agreement with the mortals and half breed happened. It wasn't enough, especially for a pureblood like her. She would need another pureblood to quench her thirst and this small piece of tube can only stop her attack temporarily. The blood extracted there were from her parents, she had them for a couple hundred of years and she's starting to run out of them.
