Chapter 48
Kamilla squeezed her eyes shut and gave her head a quick shake. She looked at Viktor as he continued to pace around his library.
“Can you sit down? You’re making me dizzy.”
Viktor glanced at her as the door opened. “Stop staring at me then.”
Kamilla scoffed as Viktor turned to speak to Damon who’d walked in. Staring at him? When had Kamilla stared at him?! Hah. Talk about being conceited.
Damon led Grace into the room and closed the door behind her.
“It’s Rogan, isn’t it?” he asked Viktor.
Viktor pursed his lips. “Definitely.”
“Say the word and I’ll kill him, V.”
Viktor ran a hand through his hair and made a sound of frustration. “Fuck, I want to kill him myself, but I’m holding back. Rogan is what holds most of those Elders together. Over the years, he’s made them dependent on him. He controls them. That’s why the bastards didn’t look into my father’s death.” He glanced at Grace who was looking at him with wide eyes. “You may sit over there by Kamilla. She used to be human too, so I assume that you two will find plenty to relate to each other.”
Kamilla made a face at Viktor as Grace headed her way. What the hell did he mean by “used to be” human?! Why she ought to-
“Hello,” said a quiet voice.
Kamilla blinked herself out of her thoughts of violent revenge and looked up at Grace.
She smiled. “Oh, hi. Sit right here.” She patted the space on the sofa and Grace lowered herself onto it, smiling shyly.
Kamilla studied her. “Yup. You’re definitely turning. I see your eyes getting a bit of green in the grey. You got fangs yet?”
Grace blinked. “Pardon?”
“Kamilla, don’t terrorize her, please,” Damon called from across the room.
Kamilla innocently put a hand to her chest. “Me? Why would I ever terrorize anybody?” With a huff, she turned to Grace and smiled. “So, have you heard about Witcher’s Cliff?”
“Kamilla!”
“Okay!” she yelled back at Damon. “Geez, I’m just trying to introduce her to the culture of Onyx! Isn’t Witcher’s like a tourist attraction or something?”
Viktor walked over to his desk and started rummaging through the drawers. “When I send you there, you’ll find out,” he said. Kamilla glared at him and silently mimicked his threat, not in the least bit scared. “For now, though,” Viktor continued. He looked up at Kamilla. “Pack a bag. We’re going somewhere.”
Kamilla jumped up. “What? Really? Where?”
Viktor put the documents in a briefcase and glanced at her with a sigh. “Where the killing took place. I need to do damage control.”
Kamilla nodded impatiently. “Yeah, where is it?!“/
“You’ll find out when we get there!” Viktor said sharply. He closed his briefcase with a bang and carrying it, stalked out of the room.
Kamilla pouted and tugged at the hem of her large hoodie. “Sheesh. I asked nicely, didn’t I?” she asked Damon.
He gave her a reassuring nod. “Yeah, you totally did.”

Chapter 48
Demetrius suddenly poked his head into the room. “Ill, Grace!” he called with a smile.
Grace waved at him. “Hi”
“How’s your arm?
Damon turned to him. Why do you care so much?”
Demetrius gave him a look. “Relax, bro. I’m just nice like that.” He looked back at Grace. “Hey, remember that recipe you wanted to learn before Basha dragged you off the other day? I’m making it today. Wanna watch?”
Grace nodded enthusiastically. Demetrius waved her over, but Grace didn’t move. Kamilla watched as she turned to Damon with wide eyes.
Damon smiled at her and nodded. “Go on.”
Excitedly, Grace ran off with Demetrius.
“Woah,” said Kamilla, shaking her head. She waved a finger in the air. “So, what are you? Her Dom or something? Are you guys kinky?”
Damon made a face. “What the f- No! It’s not like that. She’s just… a little obedient to me because of the bond we formed when I turned her. I should be asking you that, Viktor’s more a Dom than I am!”
Kamilla gasped. “Geez, okay, don’t turn it on me! I was just asking.”
With a huff, she looked down at her toes, wiggling them in her socks before slowly looking back up at Damon. “So… Viktor’s… he’s a…?”
“Yes, he has Dominant tendencies!”
Kamilla shook her head in rapid denial. “Th–that’s not what I was trying to ask! I don’t care about that! Hah. I only wanted to ask if he… uh, really saw a sorceress in Cassius.”
Damon thought for a bit and nodded. “Oh, yes. Yeah, he did. He told you about it?”
Kamilla blinked. “Hm? Oh, yeah. Uhm, he did. Wait, he actually said that she saw another him?”
