It's another day in my restaurant. My haven't I fallen since the bloody war. I used to be living the high life, with more riches and followers one could ask for. Life was so good, it all changed when the royal Ravenwood's killed her. Killed my mate; Tynan. My beautiful mate. Her long blond hair that sparkled, her Ember eyes glistened she had so much love to give and she kept me grounded. She was coming home after a night of visiting her remaining family; they were still humans. On the way home their caravan of vehicles were ambushed. Rouge wolves, filthy uncivilized swine. They killed her guards and she barely made it out alive. Tynan, ran for her life, she didn't know the area well, we were only mated a few months. She didn't know the boundaries, that she could not cross. Running for her dear life, she stumbled upon Ravenwood territory, probably the worst pack territory to stumble on. They captured her, tortured her. They summoned me to her trial, I begged and pleaded her case. The Ravenwood's, didn't care what I had to say, they were always so unforgiving. Sébastien, tore my mates head clean off. tossing it at my feet. To add insult to injury, Genevieve set my loves body on fire, I watched my mate perish from this life. Never in the centuries that I've been alive have I ever had to deal with such ruthlessness, and I'm a Vampire. I was stunned, shocked and broken. How dare they hurt her. I was escorted off of pack territory and I fell into waste and ruin. I started to plot. Months had gone by and I heard through my network that, the Ravenwood's were expecting their first child. How could two monsters bring an innocent child into the world. I swore to kill every last Ravenwood, yes even a child. I make my plan and I get a rival pack and my underlings to fight. We ravish the Ravenwood's territory, killing everything in our wake. My underlings captured the Ravenwood's. I gave my underlings permission to continue. I watched in satisfaction as they tore them lumb from limb. Their screams and agony was revenge for my sweet mate. Where did the child go? The child disappeared, we captured the child's servant, my underlings killed her before questioning, how bothersome. I made a vow, I will find you. 17 almost 18 years should seem like a blink of an eye for us Vampires, but it was the longest wait of my life. I never knew my targeted prize would just waltz into my establishment. I'm in awe as this beautiful, pure creature walks in with a heart of gold. Maybe I should stop this? No, a vow is a vow. I let them enjoy their last meal. They never knew what hit them, my witch casted a tracking spell on her. When they left, I summoned my creatures of the night to take her out. She survived, this is going to be harder than I expected. I learn she is soon expected to turn 18, on the celestial blood moon. How interesting, nearly 18 years ago, she was born on a blood moon. Rest easy little wolf, you won't know what hit you. I'll be coming to visit you real soon.
