HIS EX-LUNA HAS A SON
"Come on, boy, drink up! It's just our leader's blood and nothing more. Every one of us drank it when we wanted to join the group. It's strong as fuck, but it binds you to the clan. Makes you family. You are handling it like a champ!"
Jacob's ocean-blue eyes met mine for one heartbeat. I swore I saw pleading in them, even terror, before he looked away and kept drinking. When he emptied it, he let the bowl drop. It hit the dirt floor with a dull thud and rolled away.
In the blink of an eye, Jacob collapsed.
His knees slammed into the grassy floor, and he threw his head back, howling into the night sky, raw, broken, half-human and half something else up at the full moon.
