Chapter 340: Hungry for blood only
Magnus’s eyes softened, his thumb gently caressing her back. "It’s part of your heightened senses," he explained softly. "Everything will feel more intense now."
Alora’s arms locked around him, seeking comfort. "Did you feel this way too?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.
Magnus nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Yes, I did." He looked deeply into her blue eyes, noticing a fleeting redness that flashed for just a moment. From this close distance, he was the only one who could witness the magical transformation in her eyes.
"Magnus."
"Hmm?"
"I feel strange," Alora confessed, swallowing hard. Her gaze was fixated on the vein pulsing in his neck, an unspoken desire swirling in her eyes. She didn’t need to elaborate further; Magnus had already read her thoughts, understanding the powerful urges that now coursed through her.
"For blood?" Magnus asked gently.
Alora nodded, her voice barely a whisper. "I suddenly feel thirsty now," she murmured, the longing evident in her eyes.
"Your Highness, I’ve brought the fresh blood," Selvina announced as she entered, her gaze respectfully lowered. She set the glass on the table as Magnus guided Alora to the sofa. As he helped her sit, he took the glass from Selvina and handed it to Alora.
