Lamia Four days until the full moon I woke up shivering, even though I was wrapped in the heavy blanket I had been provided by Xander, it was cold enough to freeze the balls off a polar bear. The guards were nice enough to bring us hot tea and I grasped at the mugs warmth, holding it close to my chest. God what I wouldn’t give for a nice long hot bath and some frickin’ fresh clothes right now. I had been in my suit for 3 days now. I felt dirty and scummy. It was sometime late afternoon when I scented and heard Mathias’ footsteps coming into the dungeons. Marching straight to my cell, like a man on a mission, ordering the guard to open the door. He barged in aggressively, his larger-than-life frame filling the tiny room. His eyes were ablaze and had me backing up on instinct. Inanna
