The girl collapsed to the ground, clutching her broken wrist and crying out in pain, her body trembling uncontrollably from the sheer agony. Her scream echoed through the boutique, drawing the attention of many vampires who had been shopping upstairs. Curious to see who had killed whom in the latest human fight, they stepped out, expecting to witness nothing more than another interesting brawl.
But every step halted the moment their eyes landed on the man standing outside, tall, unbothered, with the supposed slave held protectively in front of him. The mad vampire… and his human wife!
The other girl, who had heard the human they had insulted was the duke's wife, fell to her knees and bowed her head, begging for forgiveness. But if Rohan heard her, his attention was now on his silent wife.
"Are you hurt?" came his question to his wife, who was leaning against him, her heart beating in a strange rhythm as she stared at the human crying on the ground with a broken wrist.
