I leaned my head back, the memory fading. I had drained almost all the blood from Drake, and I didn’t care. He’d led her to Kaden. To see it, to feel what he felt, and to know he didn’t even try to stop it. He hadn’t hesitated or even thought about changing his mind, and it broke any connection or care that might have remained. The sliver of my heart I had left was in tatters. I had no real friends. I never did, and because of him, I had no family either. The final connection snapped, and every emotion inside me seemed to die.
