Chapter 30
She was plotting to kill him, he could feel it!
Damn, her anger was so dark right now, Viktor wondered if she really would murder him.
The moment her body rested completely against the sofa, Kamilla’s head slowly turned to him.
A few seconds passed in tense silence while she stared at him from the sofa, her eyes cold and calculating and Viktor stood as ready to bolt as a wary deer.
In a flash Kamilla darted off the sofa, but Viktor wasn’t slow in making his escape. With a cold draft of air, he’d carried himself into his chambers to escape her wrath.
A second away from celebrating his escape, a pair of arms wrapped around Viktor’s neck from the back, choking the life out of him.
“Think you got away?!” Kamilla snarled in his ear as she wrapped her legs around him and clung to his back like a baby koala with a hundred times more strength. Viktor thought she would crush his ribs.
He stumbled around the room trying to pry her hands off.
“What the hell, Kamilla? Did you just teleport with me?!”
“Isn’t it amazing?!” said Kamilla, tightening her grip around his neck. “We must really be soulmates! Pity–I–have- to–kill–you–so–soon!”
Viktor dropped to his knees, realizing that he had to be mad to be laughing at that moment, but he was. He was in freaking stitches.
“You think it’s funny?!” Kamilla demanded. “You bat–winged neck–sucker! I’ll rip your batwings off and make a pair of chopsticks with the bones, I swear!”
Viktor fell over from the tussle and Kamilla released her hold until he was on his back then which she sat upon his abdomen and wrapped both hands firmly around his throat.
Viktor looked up at her with green eyes full of amusement. “Your threats are rather extreme, my Queen. I— oomph!” She elbowed him in the ribs.
“I haven’t even shown you extreme!” she yelled, putting as much strength into her strangling as possible. “Now, die!”
Viktor made a show of choking, complete with multiple gagging and gasping sounds. “Help!” he wheezed. “Mad woman- trying- to kill me!”
“This is what you get for sending me out in the rain and hanging me in the air for an hour like a freaking ghost!”
snarled Kamilla.
Viktor made more sputtering noises and Kamilla watched his arms fall limply to the ground.

Chapter 30
“That’s right, Die, you evil gnome!”
Her breathing finally began to even out as Kamilla felt her anger fade. Panting, she eased her hands off of his
neck and looked down at his face,
Good. He was dead,
Wait.
What?
Kamilla swallowed to moisten her dried throat as she stared at Viktor’s unmoving face. His eyes stared up at her, a fading green, and Kamilla slowly went cold.
Oh, shit. Had she really killed him?
She reached out a tentative hand and poked him in the chest. “V–Viktor?”
He didn’t move, Kamilla’s heart began to race again. No way. She hadn’t really killed the King of Onyx! With a frightened whimper, she inched back on him and lowered her ear to his chest to hear his heartbeat.
Kamilla listened and listened and listened. Nothing. His chest was as silent as a tomb. She froze against him. No way. Was he really dead?!
Quickly, she sat up and began shaking him by his massive shoulders. “Viktor? Viktor?! Viktor, wake up!” No response. Tears were streaming down her face now. Oh, no! Her and her rotten temper! She should have controlled her anger! “Viktor, please wake up, I’m sorry!!” she begged, shaking him violently. “Please, w-”
Kamilla screamed when she was suddenly swept to the ground as Viktor switched their positions. A very much
alive Viktor!
A slow grin spread wickedly across his face as he sat on top of her.
Kamilla gasped. “You–you… you were playing dead!”
Viktor laughed evilly. “It could never be that easy to kill me, sweetheart. I’m a Vampire King.”
“Why, you…!”
Forgetting all about controlling her temper, Kamilla’s hands shot up to strangle him again, but this time, Viktor easily caught them in his hands and had her arms held down on the floor over her head in seconds.
She struggled to no avail, twisting her wrists and shuffling against the floor to get free.
“Let me go!”
“All your movements are only serving to further arouse me, Kamilla. Do you know that?”
She froze and stared at him. “W–what?”

Viktor’s mouth curved in a smile that had Kamilla’s resistance melting. He lowered his face until it was just a whisper above hers. “I’ll show you what.”
