Cassian clenched his jaw and said, “You are no mother to me.” And with that, he felt a pang of hunger and somehow, his instinct told him he needed to feed. Blinded by rage, he plunged his teeth into her neck and sucked out blood. He didn’t know how long he kept feeding, but long enough for his father to hit his head with an iron. His head collided with the hard surface and he felt a stinging pain at

he commands. So I do. “I am Alejandro. Son of two worlds. Born of betrayal, raised in shadow. But I carry the flame of the Bloodfang, and I do not hide it.” The grove responds. The ground trembles.

Histories, myths, philosophies—every book was a whisper of the past. Ashara’s gaze stopped on a particular section on the far wall, its books older, darker in design, and faintly ominous. Something about the curling silver script caught her attention. One of the titles read: Nocturnae Vitae: The Legacy of the Blood Born. Her breath hitched. “Vampires?” she murmured, tilting her head.

I curled up on the floor, felt a rush of iron in my throat—and coughed up a mouthful of blood. That bright-eyed boy I used to be—the one who still had hope—faded into nothing. After that, I had nothing left to live for. Until just now, when this wretched, drifting life of mine finally ended. Matthew, your big brother is coming to join you. I've finally paid for my sin.

Kaelric let go of her shoulders and took a step backward, clenching his hand into a tight fist, his fingernails reopening the knife cut. “How did you carry my seed without a divination?!

He raised a fist to his lips and sighed deeply, shutting his eyes as he tried to piece together the blank pages but it further enraged him to decipher how a slave’s womb could nurture a king’s blood, not just any blood: Dragonblood.

He looked up at her, and the grey in his eyes was replaced by a flickering, unstable gold. "Rhea... what is happening?"
