~RYAN'S POV
IN ALL MY LIFE AT THE MANOR, I've learned two things from my father. The first; be brave. I suppose it'd already come naturally for me seeing as I had to have unknown women as my nannies and supermodels as my babysitters—I'm not complaining. The second; be 'blood'. Yeah, it may sound a little bit odd or foolhardy when I say it out loud but this part is fundamental.
In the Hallow Manor, 'BE BLOOD' generally means be a family. Blood connects me and Caden, and so we don't do anything to hurt each other. Never. We may bicker a few times, stay cold and unfeeling most times. But 'BE BLOOD' has always ruled our lives.
