“No, you’ll kill him. He’s not immortal.”

“The bullet was silver. He’s dying,” she breathed out with tears streaking down her face. She watched in horror as Evan ripped Rhys’ shirt open.

“Good thing we’re immune.” He glanced up at her. “I have to change him. He’ll be just like us. Well, just like me.”

She nodded. “Save him.”

Evan gave her the royal nod before using his teeth to slice open his wrist. He held it to Rhys’ mouth. She heard Evan order Rhys to drink. Evan’s face became paler as Rhys took more enzymes from his blood. He didn’t have enough.

Elizabeth shoved up her sleeve and held her own wrist to Evan’s mouth.

He turned his face.

“If you don’t save him, we’ll both die.” She held his gaze. “I won’t live without him, and you’re tied to me.” She shoved her wrist to his mouth.

His teeth clamped down on her inner arm, and she dropped to her knees and lifted her head to the stars in the night sky. She felt her life force draining. Her eyes slid closed. Her body was heavy as the darkness sucked her into a black void.
