Only Half Dead
Chapter 76
Dre nodded eagerly, nearly falling off Blake’s lap. “Yes! Now,” she came back within an inch of Kamilla’s nose. “He and his cousins are the saly ones allowed. there! That’s why Sniper wouldn’t let you in. They’ll kill you if you go in with no permission, little love!”
Kamilla gasped. “Reallly?! Those jerks! But… I saw someone else go in. A man.” She waved a finger. “And he’s not a royal.”
Maya’s head suddenly snapped up from the table and she too brought her nose into the little meeting at the centre of the table. “That man? Are you talking about that tall, deliciously beautiful man with the blonde hair and those black eyes?”
Kamilla made a face. “Gross! But, yeah, him.”
Maya nodded. “He’s been going in there for yeeeaaars. I also thought he wasn’t a royal. But guess what?” she paused for dramatic effect. Kamilla and Dre inched closer.
“What?” they asked simultaneously, mouths hanging open.
Maya lowered her voice conspiratorially. “Sniper finally told me and… that sexy man is close to Diana’s son and his cousins. Really really really close.”
Kamilla closed her mouth to swallow and moisten her dry throat. “Really? That means they’re working together. The swines!”
Maya swept a hand into her thick, black hair and closed her eyes. “Oh, a swine or not, that man is beautiful! Strong as yer horset t’ll tell ye a secret! The other night, I was stumbling my way home and I tripped in the darkness. Just as I was about to kiss the ground, he appeared out of nowhere and swept of my feet! Eeeek! His eyes!”
Kamilla blinked uninterestedly. “What about them?”
Maya fluttered her lashes. “Dark and glittery! Like midnight with a splash of stars! He’s got magic in him for sure!”
Kamilla moved her tongue around in her dry mouth. Rogan’s eyes were scary, what were these girls on about? “Magic? What do ye mean?” With her elbow, she nudged Jaime in the ribs until he stirred and raised his head, pushing back his dark hair. Kamilla patted his shoulder. “Won’t ye pour me a dop?”
It was like he’d been charged with two electric cables. Jaime instantly brightened, more awake than ever. “Of course, little love! I’ll pour ye whatever ye
want!”
Kamilla leaned back in as Jaime went about pouring drinks, yelling at Blake to call the waiter for more.
“So what’s that ye say? Magic in him?”
Maya nodded and glanced at Dre. “Ye know how we have those once in a century babes with the magic in their eyes?”
Dre nodded eagerly. “Yes! Yes! Oh! It’s so special.”
Kamilla shook her head in confusion, withdrawing to throw back the drink Jaime poured her as he looked on with adoring eyes.
She put aside the glass and leaned towards the women. She had to get it all out of them before they passed out again. “So what yer saying is…” Kamilla sighed and shook her head. “What are ye saying?”
Dre set her hands out and cleared her throat. “S–so it’s like this. Everybody knows our Cassius is an Enchanted Kingdom, ye know? Some say Cursed Kingdom, but let’s be positive. We’re halves here, half–Vamps and half–sorcerers. We welcome it. So then, the magic in us doesn’t always show. But very rarely, as rare as our marrying a human, very rarely we get the babes with the magic in their eyes! Oh, it’s precious.”
Kamilla blinked at her. “Really? I’ve never seen it? What’s this magic look like?”
Maya sighed in longing. “Oh, it’s just like that beautiful man. It’s that depth in one’s eyes, with that darkness and that twirl of magic. So
Kamilla watched them lean against each other, sighing contentedly over the thought of glittery eyeballs.
Tilting her head, she slowly lifted another drink to her lips and sent the liquid burning down her throat.
o beautiful.”

Chapter 76
Hissing Kamilla hung her head low, letting her hair fall over as she thought. Oh, Okay. Maybe she understood this now. Rogan had a trait that my very fate Cassius babies got.
“Dance with me!” screamed Jaime as he threw his empty shot glass over his shoulder, turning all his attention to Kamilla,
She held up a finger. “Wait, I’m still thinking.”
Kamilla pursed her lips and nodded in silent conclusion. Well, that was it. Rogan has rare Cassius baby trait, Rogan must be rare Cassius haby.
She turned to Jaime. “Done.”
He grinned and flicked his dark hair to the side. “Let’s dance!”
He got up, dragging Kamilla out of her seat so they could lean drunkenly on each other.
“Okay, okay!” Kamilla said before lifting a stern finger. “Only once, however! I have a pet dragon who would probably eat us both if he saw this.”
She and Jaime made their merry way towards the dancefloor, arm in arm.
“Really?” said Jaime.
Kamilla nodded. “Yuup! He’s- oh!”
Kamilla gasped when someone grabbed her elbow and she was suddenly snatched away from Jaime and spun around.
Where her vision stopped blurring, Kamilla blinked up at a face that was more familiar, more beautiful and far more furious than any she’d ever seen.
Viktor’s enraged blue eyes narrowed. “What. The hell, Kamilla?!”
Kamilla gasped loudly before her mouth spread in a slow, delighted grin. “Oh, helllloo, little love!”
