My Blood Mate was the most exalted prince of the Thirteen Noble Houses of the Blood Tribe. Derek Bennett—once so merciful, so self-proclaimed compassionate—was determined to "save" the poor woman Victoria Wooten, newly turned and unable to control her thirst for blood. And so, again and again, he allowed her to ruin the formation of our blood bond. The first time, she stole three days' worth of my primordial blood essence, ruining my reputation within the Blood Tribe. Derek only said, "She's a pitiful soul, newly turned, alone, without guidance. Lilian, you are fortunate. You still have me." The second time, she sealed half of my bloodline power while I lay in slumber. When I awoke, I could no longer even command my blood servants. Derek said, "She has yet to find her Blood Mate. Jealousy is only natural." The third time, she poisoned the Blood Grail with withered blood toxin. I nearly had my lineage severed entirely—unable to ever bear offspring again.
