I could feel Adrian’s gaze even when he wasn’t looking.
He was always around, watching me with that quiet intensity.
But even Adrian had to retreat sometimes.
When he handled his affairs, when he gave orders to Marianne and the others, when he listened to reports behind closed doors—those were the only moments he wasn’t right by my side.
He owned most of the city, after all. Businesses, safehouses, entire districts under his control. He was responsible for all vampires. He was busy.
