{NOTE! ~THIS IS A STANDALONE SEQUEL OF 'HER BLOOD'}

In a world where immortality reigns, life knows no end. However, immortals are divided into two categories: the strong and the weak. The weak can be easily killed, often possessing vulnerabilities that make them susceptible to the superior immortals. 

*
Tragedy strikes when my father, a weak immortal with a fated weakness, is killed by a man I once revered. This man, who cannot be vanquished, has also passed down his trait to me through my mother. I hold both my mother and this man accountable for my father's demise and all the ensuing events.

Even though my mother sent the man into hiding to atone for the pain caused, I am certain that he will return. Only this time, it will be different. He will come back to complete what he started, to seek vengeance and forcefully take back what belonged to him.

HER SON

Fortune's lips parted as her hand slowly lowered in shock. She never thought that taking her mother's blood could make her go weak.

She wanted to say something but couldn't, especially when Reginald arched an eyebrow at her, waiting to outsmart her.

Drussilla came to stand beside Reginald and asked out of concern. She didn't like Fortune looking downcast sometimes.

"I want your blood," she didn't hesitate to say what she wanted even after her father's warning.

Hilda arrived with a deep frown on her face as she directed her gaze to the little girl whose back was facing her.

Fortune eagerly stretched the glass cup in her mother's direction and Reginald frowned at her.
