His eyes suddenly turned serious as he continued, "You shall never offer your blood to anyone else throughout your academic years...meaning you will never serve anyone else.."
Eve stood stunned, her breath caught in her throat as she waited for him to finish. Then he leaned in, his lips barely an inch from hers, and whispered, "Except me."
She couldn't respond, she was simply too stunned to speak. The only word that kept echoing in her mind was 'blood'. It wasn't as if Evelyn had ever considered offering her blood to anyone before, so when he told her not to give it to anyone else, she was more than happy to comply. But when he added "except me". She could see she was becoming something rare in his eyes. A delicacy reserved for the devil himself.
She knew she had to accept this demand willingly if she wanted to serve him properly, one of the academy's binding rules. Though she doubted any rules truly applied to someone like Ivan.
