The three cloak figures watched quietly,the girl in the midst sipped her wine slowly watching coldly as she stared at the familiar face.

" How ironic,if it wasn't her elder sister Lena",

With a scoff she gulp down the wine before refilling her cup.her red lips glistering and plum.

" What kind of service do you offer"Lena roared as she eyed the fat manger in distain.

" You call this,tea,this is bullshit,more like tasteless water,you scam people with this"

" Such incompetent who do they think they are".

" Yes,yes they made our Lena so angry"Selena flattered Lena who looked smug and check her newly painted nails.

" As expected how disappointing "

The two men were tensed since seeing the other party knowing fully well there young miss could just break her neck but she held back.

" The meal was okay ,but I lost my appetite let's go ".

"Okay miss"..

Standing up they left,and Lena who raised her head later only caught there back view ,as she glance before looking away awaiting her tea.

" Lena,her father,mother and brother who abandoned her would all pay the price".

The girl's eyes seemed to shine more brightly under her cloak.

The castle was brightly lit up ,but the duke's area was filled with dull light giving a eerie and dark feeling.

Footsteps could be heard as they pattered on the cold floor.A maid was holding a lamp as a woman with a heavy cloak wrapped round her followed behind a smile on her face.

" We are here,master awaits".

" Your dismissed"

Jennifer waved her hand in a prideful manner,the maid bowed but threw her glance filled with pity before going away.

" My Lord,gentle please"Jennifer beg her eyes widened in terror as she looked at his red eyes,his fang suddenly found it way to her throat as he bite and suck her blood.

A shrill scream tore through Jennifer's throat as she convulsed with pleasure and pain before going quiet and limp on the bed,her body devoid of warmth,eyes wide open.

Zander licked his lips, tsking unhappily.

" How weak, thought she would last the night"

With a hiss he picked up his robe, slipping Into them and going to the bathroom.

Two maid soon entered and carried the body out, cleaning the mess in the room this was a daily occurrence and they had learn to keep there mouth shut if they valued there heads.
