Castle Has Bite. Royals of the Opalese, #2

Hating him used to be easy. As the days pass and Soravelle remains Alobaz's prisoner, her hatred for him blurs. She isn't allowed to want him. To do so is to betray her brother's memory and the dynasty she's sworn to protect. So what happens when he gives her a devastating choice: drink his blood only and surrender to the fierce attraction that binds them, or succumb to bloodlust and thus become a monster? What happens when she can't resist the one man she must resist above all?~~~Baz should absolutely execute Sora for attempting to murder him.
Instead, he spares the stunningly beautiful temptress. Not only does Baz desire her, even more disturbing, he wants to protect her. If the emperor were to learn that Baz has the legendary D'Arco assassin imprisoned in his dungeon, he would command Baz to murder her, and gruesomely. When soldiers conspire to betray his prisoner's identity to the emperor, what will Baz do to shield her? And what will be the cost of defying the sire he has vowed to obey?
