Chapter 121
What would happen now?
Viktor was determined to see this thing through with Rogan and wouldn’t even take any of her genius ideas into consideration.
That stubborn iguana.
What happened if he got hurt? Or worse.
As far as Kamilla believed, Rogan wasn’t all Vampire. He couldn’t be! Not after what Maya and the others had told her.
He certainly had Cassius in him and that meant he had Magic in him too. He wouldn’t play fair with Viktor. Sure, Viktor wouldn’t play fair either, not if Kamilla knew him well, but the whole situation just seemed so unnecessary in her opinion.
The path curved into the corner of the property where wild flowers grew unapologetically beautiful. In dark scarlets, purples and greens.
Kamilla dazedly sat before a rose bush and sat her chin on her fist.
‘Vampires are dramatic,‘ she murmured to herself.
After a moment of dazedly staring at flowers, Kamilla’s heart grew heavy, suddenly aware of another presence.
On guard, she quickly stood ready to either run or defend herself.
Kamilla quickly froze when she saw the threat“.
Ursula sat in a corner near her, a red cloak pulled over her head, a basket in her lap as she calmly picked wild flowers.
Kamilla blinked and looked over the tall bushes at the castle to see
if anyone was coming.
The coast was clear so she quickly looked back at Diana’s aunt in surprise. When did the woman even appear?
“Excuse me?” Kamilla called quietly. “I genuinely don’t think you should be here right now, the King of this castle is currently mad at all existing Enchantresses.”
Ursula’s hand paused over a dainty violet and she slowly raised her head. Lifting a hand, she silently signaled for Kamilla to come closer.
Kamilla carefully approached the woman, glancing about at the silent terrain.
Ursula pushed her hood off her head and looked up at Kamilla. “Did you dream, child?”
Kamilla blinked. “Dream? Well… yes. I dreamt of a runaway horse, a party with the Legion-”
‘Not that,” said Ursula waving it away with a graceful hand. “Did you see what I showed you? Your death.”
Kamilla’s chest tightened and she grew quiet.
“You didn’t tell him, continued Ursula. Her mouth curved. “Bizarre. I never thought I’d see a human so bent on protecting a Vampire King.”
Kamilla bit her lip. “That… wasn’t just a nightmare, was it?”
“You know it wasn’t. I made sure you’d know exactly what you were dreaming of.”
Wrapping her arms around herself, Kamilla looked at Ursula, her heart growing heavy with fear at knowledge it carried. How was it even possible? The girl Viktor had killed… she existed centuries ago. Could this really be true? She sighed. Even if it wasn’t…
“Viktor doesn’t have to know,” she told Ursula. “He remembered for a moment and in that moment, he grew far darker than I’ve ever seen have to believe himself to be a monster when I know he’s not! I’m afraid of that.”
He doesn’t

Ursula smiled and reached for a rose. She twirled it as she studied the black thorns protecting the beautiful flower,
“That is not all you’re afraid of, child. When he remembered… he warned you away. Did he not? She looked at Kamilla. ‘He put up a clear boun between his darkness and your light. To keep you away from the harm he could do to you. That… is what you do not want. You are too busy trying to him close, trying to protect him that you do not see that he is also trying to protect you.”
Kamilla felt her lips part at the words, realizing that they were true.
Her neck prickled, her heart thudding when she felt the gaze heavy on her.
Turning around, Kamilla looked at the castle and turned her gaze up and even higher.
He stood on the terrace, still bare–chested with the wind in his dark hair as he met her gaze, staring intensely down at her.
“You’ve always known how dangerous he is. You were not afraid to lose your life before,” continued Ursula as she picked more flowers, hidden from Viktors gaze by the giant bushes around her. “And you’re not afraid to lose your life now. For the sake of keeping your Vampire King close, you ignore his darkness and his danger. And for that… you will pay a high price.”
