Liam spoke with a low voice. His gaze was distant as he recounted the memories that haunted him.
"It was back in 1999," he began, "back when my mom and I were still living in the city. Supernaturals ran it — well, vampires did, really. They were like kings, untouchable. And my father… he was a notorious shapeshifter. Not exactly a high rank in the supernatural world. We were easy prey, you of all people should know that.."
Liam paused, his jaw tightened as he remembered. "One night, my father got himself into some serious trouble. I don't know exactly what happened, but whatever it was… it got the vampires riled up. They wanted him dead, but they didn't just go after him. They came after our entire community of shapeshifters."
