Chapter 155

• Sheila's point of view
• I kept staring at the mirror, watching my very own reflection. I could hardly get any sleep last night, especially after my time with Vladimir. I could feel it in the depths of my soul, something was happening. Nikolai was getting to Vladimir. He had begun to suspect the process of the ritual; he must know I was doing it wrong. And now, just when I had to be involved, they were trying to cut me off.
• The Blood moon was a few days away and we were supposed to have found the right vessel by then. A vessel that had enough energy to contain the Shota's magic before we had it transferred to Vladimir on the night of the Blood moon. That has been Vladimir's plan all along. He wanted the Shota's magic. That would be terrible for all of us. Vladimir was a mixed breed, being a wolf and a vampire. The last thing we needed was him getting his claws on the Shota's magic. I couldn't let that happen. That would make him a step closer to his plan.
