Chapter 204. Pardon My Impertinence
Jael frowned as he stared down at the physician. It was over two weeks but the poor human was still frightened of him. The strong smell of fear permeated the air around him.
Jael might say it was better but the difference didn’t seem significant. However, this wasn’t unusual. Humans’ fear of him was more than the average vampire.
Was something wrong with Mauve then? Because she overcame her fear relatively quickly or at least there was some significant difference within the first couple of weeks.
He shook his head, the first time he had seen her, he had found her amusing and he could get over how small and fragile she was. He still thought all those things but he would be lying if said there was nothing more now.
He grunted and closed her room door. He wanted to keep her close and safe. He also wanted to give her whatever she wanted.
He knew the vampire regions didn’t come close to human territory. He was worried that one day she would get tired of it and want to leave.
Of course, he could always tie her up and throw away the key but she wouldn’t be happy that way and he wanted her happy. It was the least he could do with what she had gone through.
Jael ran his hand through his hair. What was wrong with him? He needed to clear his thoughts and concentrate on important things like getting rid of the Palers.
He pushed the door to his study open and the smell of vampire blood hit his nostrils. It was pretty faint but he could smell it all right. He didn’t need to think about who it belonged to.
