[Bonus chapter] Bumping heads

"Shouldn't you be more careful then?" Marcus spoke up after being quiet for so long. He looked between Gabriel and Esme and shook his head. "You came to the Hub like some stupid knight in shining armour, which she never needs, by the way. But you might as well have used a megaphone to announce your feelings for Nyx. If he has spies-"

"It doesn't matter," Esme interrupted. "I met Davian. He is Cassius'.. what do you call him?"

"Davian is Cassius' childe. But the term doesn't mean one is related. It is just a term we came up with because the master who sired the vampire has to teach them everything they know," Luther answered her, and she nodded her head, learning yet another thing about vampires.

"Well, you kinda need to know this stuff now.. being mated to the Vampire King and all.." Isana murmured.

Esme continued. "Davian said Cassius knows of my existence. But at the moment, it sounds like he thinks I am just a fling and nothing more."
