Chapter 34: A Long Story

Oleksander's anger is nothing versus my silence and he eventually sends me from him after only a short time. When he called for me after Sage was taken down to the cells, I went willingly. But I chose not to allow my grandfather's disappointment and judgment stop me from my path.

I must save Sage.

I leave the throne room as silently as I entered and head for the hall on the other side of the main staircase. Werewolves avoid my eyes, my witch and vampire friends now gone. I have no support here, it seems, my people no longer trusting me. Let them believe what they like. Let them believe Caine or Andre Dumont. They can all burn in hell for all I care.

Have I really written off my entire race for the love of one normal man?

Yes. Yes, I have.
