Chapter 209: Coming to his senses (1)
’Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Cassandra wondered, trying to make sense of how Gabriel was walking around perfectly fine.
She was down to the last drop of the holy water she had been slipping inside his blood yet she wasn’t fortunate to celebrate Gabriel falling sick.
From what she had heard from the priests, Gabriel should have felt the effects from the first few drops. He should be weak by now or even dead since he was a mixed-blood. They were always the easiest to kill.
Cassandra stared at the small bottle which would be gone by the end of today. She wouldn’t be able to get any more unless she went to see Bryce but he was always stingy with the amount he had.
Since Gabriel was still able to go about his day and train outside, Cassandra now questioned if the church had given her holy water. It was the only explanation as to why Gabriel wasn’t dead yet.
’They lied to me,’ Cassandra thought.
It was becoming clearer day by day that the church did not care for her. First, their plans were taking too long so she ended up having to sleep with Gabriel who wanted to put a vampire inside of her. They were slow to attack the palace or the purebloods around the town and now, they had lied to her about the one thing she could count on to save her life.
Cassandra started to see the church in a different light.
Were they moving slowly since it was her body which had to feel Gabriel’s touch every night? Because it was she who would have to carry a child to later get rid of?
