He can freeze Vampire Alphas with a simple command. It’s his power, I realize, one that comes from the depths of emotion so darkly violent that I shiver against him. It washes over me, and I’m helpless to fight the onslaught.

I’m burning alive.

This male is rage incarnate.

He is power.

He is dominance in flesh and bone.

And he isfurious.

“So much anger,” I murmur as I place my fingers against his chest. A shudder works through me as the overwhelming need for violence and pain rampages through my body.

I know this is what he’s feeling right now. Somehow, it’s bleeding into me.

I’m not sure how to rid myself of it, so I let my body tell me what to do. It seems to have practice with this, and it tells me to give in.

I submit. My entire body goes limp against him as my fingers trail down his bloodied chest, and I discover a necklace. My fingers wrap around the locket, finding it warm. Sleepiness washes over me as I struggle to keep my eyes open.

“Oh, little diamond, what a power you have.” He hugs me closer as my stomach dips, and a heated mist wraps around my entire body.

“You’ll be safe with me.”

Those are the last words I hear, but the emotion that comes with them doesn’t match the sentiment.

I’m not safe at all.

Especially not with him.

“Sleep,” he commands.

Despite all the fight I have within me, it’s a command I decide to obey.

I might be a spitfire, but I know when I’ve met my match.

After witnessing the might of this vampire decimating his enemies into bloody obliteration, I certainly don’t want to be awake when he decides what he’s going to do with me.

Because whatever comes next is going to be the last thing I’ll ever see.

CHAPTER 3

MAGNUS

Little diamond.

That’s what this Omega is.

Rare. Incredibly beautiful.

Impossibly valuable.

And entirely mine.

I kneel as I allow the transition of power to take place. I know what is happening, but I never expected to find an Omega who could ground me. Her blissful scent of cherries makes my mouth water and my knot swell.

Other Omegas have always smelled a little bitter to me, but not this one.

She is sweet.
