So my blood was super special. People, human and paranormal alike, desperately crave power, which makes the means of attaining it—me in that situation—the target of many.

And about this Lucian fellow. I had half a mind—correction: I had a full mind—to beat his beautiful face in with a shovel. No, a cinder block. No... Something bigger…ah hah, Australia. I'd beat his face in with a country and continent.
