Sonja sighed, it was just one more day until she and Lucian would be reunited. The vampire princess looked around the room one last time, would she miss this place? Her father? Maybe a little bit, but she was leaving for the one she loved, her father would never accept how she felt about Lucian...and Eve, she was like the sister or daughter she never had. Sonja looked up upon hearing her father enter.

"Father, what are you doing here?" The princess asked.

"I have found that I have been selfish and gave no thought to your own feelings" he explained, Sonja was shocked at her fathers sudden affection, "as you know, Lucian and Eve have escaped, but I can't help but wonder...did you help them escape?" Viktor asked, Sonja scoffed in disbelief.

"Of course not! They are lycans father, how could you think that?" Sonja lied.

"Of course, I want to believe you, please forgive me" Viktor said, before Sonja could stop him he sank his teeth into her soft flesh. Images flashed before him, filling him with anger, Sonja and Lucian making love, Eve and Lucian discussing their plan of escape with Sonja. The elder took his mouth off her jugular.

"Father please_" she started, but Viktor cut her off with a fierce slap across the face, knocking her off her feet and on to the bed.

"I wanted to believe your lies, but I knew better! My own daughter? How could you? A lycan!" Viktor spat, venom in his voice.

"Father, I love him". Sonja whispered, the elder scoffed and got up to leave the room.

"You have betrayed me! To be with an animal, I loved you!" He shouted, "she does not leave this room!" he ordered the guards.

At the councel meeting

"The lycans are going to rebel mi lord, you need to bring your pet back" Coloman said.

"You think I don't know that? Lucian will come back in due time".

"How can you be so sure?"

"I have something he wants".
