Lyra's POV
"Ah, Julian Czarnel, Count Prince and the last of the High Vampire race…" An elf stood up staring down at the three of us with eyes wiser than any elf yet there was prejudice within them. "You've brought your mate, the human called Lyra Ellison."
"Indeed. She's beautiful, isn't she?" Julian smiled as he glanced at me. "I brought her here to officially introduce her to the world…and to reveal that she is indeed my only weakness."
"What?" Something tells me that the elf was more shocked by his words than the revelation.
"Yes, the oracle said it herself a decade ago: once I found my mate, an invisible bond was formed and our lives linked. If she dies, I die. It's something you are fully aware of since the beginning, eh, Thalor?"
My eyes widened. Julian went straight to the point. Was that his plan to just get out with it with no word play?
Or was this his mind game methods again?
