I didn't expect what would happen next.

" Stand," Alexander commands.

We all move to stand immediately. Not wanting to disobey him.

" No," he growls. "Just her," he says, nodding his head in my direction.

I look up through my eyelashes to make sure he really did mean me. My eyes meant his. Dark and captivating.

Alexander stared down at me with his arms crossed over his muscular chest. " Yes, I mean you Violet. I want to see the look on your pretty face when I choose my Royal Slave."

I swallowed and stand, pretending to be afraid when actually I was far from it. I was more confused than anything.

Why did he want me to stand?

After one last look, I quickly look back down at my feet. I didn't want to anger him. Rule number one: never look your master in the eye unless told to do so.

" I know I promised another and I usually don't break my promises but tonight is different," Alexander explains in that deep voice of his.

Suddenly, goosebumps rose on my skin and I knew without looking up that he was staring at me.

" Before I say who I've chosen, they should know I'm not gentle, kind, or loving. I'm far from it. I only know two things: blood and fear. Is that understood?" he questions.

I wanted to nod my head but I wasn't sure if he was talking to me since he didn't say who he chose yet.

His words echoed in my ear.

Blood and fear.

Two things vampires love the most and two things I hated the most.

I hate to be afraid. I hate being jumped scared or snuck up on. That's why I'm always ready. Its very rare a vampire will get the advantage on me.

Alexander will find out I don't scare easily.

" She isn't afraid," Alexander says as he inhales, "but she will be. I'll make sure of it."

Good luck.

With increasingly fast vampire speed, Alexander was on me. He pinned me against a rose brush, pushing his body on me.

My eyes flew open and I bite my lip to not cry out in pain as thorns dug into my skin. I look over at Zoey, Mia, and Lara. They kept there heads down and stayed in their submissive positions. They didn't care about what was happening. They were used to the Master's actions.

But I wasn't. It was a struggle to not fight underneath him.

" Get off me," I say through gritted teeth.

" Is that what you really want, Violet?" he questions, my name rolling off his tongue like velvet.

" Yes," I say without hesitation.

Alexander ignores me and moves his hands to my wrists, pinning my arms above my head. He grabs one finger and presses it against a thorn. I feel a tiny prick and know he drew blood.

Slowly, Alexander brings my bleeding finger in front of his lips.

" Look at me," he commands.

My eyes instantly go to his. I could feel that magnetic pull again. His piercing blue eyes pulling me deeper. I wanted to look away but I couldn't. It took all my willpower to stay locked to his gaze.

" I want to taste you," he says while bringing my bleeding finger closer to his pink lips.

My eyes go wide. No, not yet! The time isn't right. I have to wait for Adrain orders and then I'll make my move.

I try to move my hand away however it was impossible. He was stronger. Way stronger than me.

I started to panic.

Alexander smiles, showing perfect white teeth. " Now, I smell fear."
