The scar on my thigh pulses faintly, a dull echo of something I don’t yet understand. Blood, it turns out, doesn’t mean loyalty. It just means proximity, and I have never been close enough to matter.

Hearing that, the neighbors started cursing. "She already wired the funeral money and still won't admit it." "That really sounds like Lydia's voice. How cruel! Three people are dead because of her!" "The world has gone mad. She was speeding, and she's blaming the victims for the accident? I saw the video. She hit them before they even stepped on the crosswalk!" I turned to Maeve. "You told me the car was scraped and asked me to transfer ten thousand for repairs. How did it become funeral money? Besides, I've been sick the past few days—that voice is clearly edited!"

He smiled at us, like he'd been awaiting our arrival "Welcome,” he said, arms spread in mock invitation. “ I've been expecting you." he said, and looked around, "but I don't see her. Where is the chosen one?" "you will never have her. I thought that message had gotten through already." I said angrily, but his smile only deepened. "I suppose I'm just as stubborn as she is. Blood runs thicker than water , you know?" Damien said and tilted his head when I looked confused. "what are you saying?" I snapped and he chuckled.

However, the most burdensome thing in the air was the heaviness of Nikolai's words - cold and irreversible. Amora experienced them sinking heavily in her chest. Blood is the circulating fluid in our bodies. The ultimate cost, crucial for their forbidden partnership with the vampires, would require more than just a injury. Now, her life force, which was her blood, became the key to staying alive.

Not exhausted—she knew that kind of weight well—but *thick*, as if her blood had turned one shade closer to sludge. She had splashed her face. Bent over the basin. Coughed once. The sound was deeper than a simple clearing of the throat. Wet. She had straightened, wiped at her mouth more from habit than concern, and then glanced down. Red. Not a torrent. Not a flood. Just a fan of tiny droplets along the heel of her hand. For a瞬, her mind refused to make the connection. This happens to other wolves, she thought stupidly. After a bad fight. After a lung-puncture. After poison.

The skin and flesh were cut open, but Caspian's blood did not flow out at all. Even if the surrounding seawater continued to surge, it didn't. Because every drop of Caspian's blood was more condensed than mercury. It was impossible for the seawater to disperse it. At this moment, if Caspian condensed a drop of blood and placed it in the seawater. Not only would the blood ball not scatter, but it would also fall down, creating a deep pit in the mud beneath the sea.

I pitied her. I wasn't sure about the taste of blood but consuming the same thing over and over again didn't seem like it was ideal. "Do different blood types taste different. Like, how does it work?" I was genuinely interested. "Oh yeah for sure. Blood tastes different each time. That's why it can be so addicting. The taste changes depending on the humans health, age, eye color, hair color, blood type and so many other things. It's a taste I can't describe because it's so..."

He placed it in the middle of the audience, then recited a prayer. When I dripped my blood into the water, my blood immediately formed a small ball-shaped lump that swam. Then Hayden did too, and his blood also clotted into a small ball. Our blood clots separated from each other. Mine in the right, and Hayden's in the left. That proves that the water in the cup is indeed not ordinary water. The last one is Baby Pasha's blood. The High Priest could easily stab a needle into his tiny index finger. I almost headed that High Priest if he hurt my son more than he needed to. But thankfully, the High Priest did his job in one stab, and then my son's blood entered the cup.

"Miss Lila didn’t want to go. She said every time she set foot on campus, her head ached. Delivering milk makes her happier." Happier? My daughter had always been top of her class, obsessed with studying. She had clawed her way into that university. I knew exactly how hard she had worked. And now delivering milk made her happier? No. Something was very, very wrong. The unease gnawed at me. I scrolled through Adrian’s social feed, and there it was. Just a short while ago, he’d taken Martha, Paul Mitchell the driver, and Serena on an overseas vacation. During that same period, my poor Lila had collapsed from heatstroke and been rushed into the hospital.

She tried to concentrate enough to will the sky to return to its previous state, but to her astonishment, it only darkened even further. "What's going on?" Adea muttered to herself. She soon realized the water felt thicker than before. She turned her head over to look at the water. It was almost too dark to see clearly, but the substance in which she lied had become thick and dark in color like maroon. At first, Adea thought it was merely reflecting the obscure light of the heavens above her, but it did not take long to realize the horrifying truth: the water had turned to blood.
