While Adam, Genevieve, and Luca recuperated inside the cave, on the other side of the mountain, King Jacob de Vile had already made his move.
The preparations for his mysterious ritual were almost complete. All he needed was the final piece of the puzzle — Genevieve Saint Laurent.
If it weren't for him personally seeing her through the eyes of the raven, he could have made do with any random maiden from the human settlements in the east.
But the moment the Usurper laid eyes on Genevieve, he knew he had to have her.
Not only was she beautiful, but she also reminded him of her…
And so, the vampire king sent his underlings to retrieve Genevieve. This time, he was determined to have her, no matter the cost.
Having already witnessed Adam and Luca's battle prowess, the Usurper did not take any chances this time. And so, he sent proper vampires.
Three vampires rushed through the mountain pass at incredible speed, their figures little more than blurs against the rocky landscape.
