“Get up, vamp princess!”he roars.

“Fuck you!”I spit in his face.

His eyes are black as night.He raises a flaming arrow, and I roll out of the way before it pierces the ground—right where my heart was only a second before.

A demon.Wait...Aren’t the demons on my side?The side of the lycans?

In a flash I’m on my feet, my heel taking the side of the demon’s head in a hook kick.

“Who the fuck are you playing for?”I grit out.

“Myself.More thanyoucan say.”

He’s not wrong.This isn’t my fight.I don’t truly belong with any of these groups.I may be Rogan’s mate, but I’m not wolf.I’ll never be wolf.

I’m only half vampire, and despite my stepfather, no part of me is demon, thank God.

The demon advances on me once more, throws a punch, which I block, and then takes me down with a sweep I should have seen coming.

But my senses are all over the place.Around me, the battle rages, and I jump to my feet as quickly as I can, brandishing Dominic’s blade.

A vampire comes at me, his fangs elongated.He pushes the demon down and then snarls.“I wonder how royal blood tastes?”

“You’ll never know.”

Vampires don’t feed from each other—not for sustenance anyway.Our blood doesn’t have the minerals we require.But...

I’m only half vampire.And some vamps like to take blood from a sexual partner.

Still, he wouldn’t dare defile the king’s daughter...

Or would he?

The vampires see me as a traitor, after all.

He grabs me by the throat and lifts me off the ground.I gasp, trying to get my breath.

“Such a tender-looking neck...”He licks his lips.

I kick and punch, but he’s got me in a hold I can’t seem to break.Until—

I fall to the ground with a thud.

The vamp is entangled with an animal.Not just any animal.

A wolf.

My wolf.

It’s Rogan, and he’s tearing at the vampire’s flesh.

“No, Rogan!”I yell.“I’m all right!”

Still he tears at the vampire, and the vampire fights back, his teeth bared as he wields a blade not unlike the one I stole from Dominic.

In fact...

I check my boot...My blade is gone.I was holding it when the vampire lifted me.Damn it!I must have dropped it.
