Book 2⌇14. Escapist

Chapter 14 ∣  Escapist

-Lucca

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit...I just fucked the king's daughter!

I'm completely and utterly mortified.

Evicka snuggles into the side of my body, her head resting on my chest. Her white hair wraps around her body and mine, embracing the both of us. The steady breathing that comes from her puts me slightly at ease.

I remove the syringe from the side of her arm, the tip of the needle almost breaking through her skin, as I'd been ready to keep her weakened.

I feel bad not holding back with her. It had completely slipped my mind that I was having sex with a weakened vampire and not the strong, pureblood she truly is...

...fuck, Locaine's daughter for that matter.

Like a deck of cards being shuffled, everything falls into place. Evicka doesn't need to tell me anything else...her name is enough. I place the syringe on the side table next to me, momentarily pulling away from her serene sleeping form.

I lean back toward her, running my hand down the side of her bare arm, the covers pulled up over our waists. I understood why she killed Blaise and Enzo and judging by her intent on killing the rest of the recognized coven leaders, they hadn't been the ones who'd taken her mother.

Everything I did to her...

...I degraded her, bringing her down to nothing more than a human.

I'll call Locaine tomorrow and let him know his daughter is safe and where he wants her to be. Whether or not he wants her with me after what I did to her...that'll be a whole different story.

Evicka sighs softly in her sleep, her nightmares seeming to have finally edged away from the corners of her mind. It relieves me that she feels comfortable in my arms.

Tomorrow...

...I'll tell you everything, Evie.

-Evicka

My eyes snap open, a rejuvenating aura caressing my body as I feel my power seep within. Any pain I'd been in from the event that had taken place last night, has dissipated. The first thing I notice is that my cheek is laying against Lucca's firm chest, my arm wrapped around his waist.

I'm very curious now, lifting my face away from him. His arm is cradling around my back, holding me close to him. My eyes catch the syringe that's on Lucca's side table and from what I can see, it's filled with the undiluted silver.

This very well might be my only chance.

Lucca's breathing is even, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. His heartbeat is normal, assuring me that he's still fast asleep.

I skillfully maneuver out of his arm, sliding back the covers just enough for me to climb out. My senses are heightened, and the exhilarating rush I receive from my strength renews my fight.

The cold marble touches the bottom of my bare feet, sending an icy chill through my body. I slip on my underwear and ebony yoga pants that had been discarded onto the floor the morning before. I find my bra and tank top, covering my exposed breasts.

I step lightly around to the end of the bed, finding the silver chain that had once bound me to Lucca lying on the floor. I kneel and see the pin setting, opening it wide enough to entrap my trapper. Once I set the lock in place, I rise to my feet and bring the chain with me to the side of the bed Lucca is resting on.
