Fondness for an Ancient Warrior
His mate, Athenodora, had left the Volturi long ago, throwing Caius into fits of anger. Nothing in the Volturi castle was safe from the destructive rage of the vampire leader. Years later, after it was reported she had been destroyed by an enemy of the ancient coven, taking away any chance of a reconciliation, his mood changed to one of mourning. All at the castle began to tread lightly around him, until Aro decided to send Caius away on sabbatical far away from Volterra.
One day, while he's driving around Italy, Caius sees a woman rider, in his eyes, a warrior on horseback. He has to know more about her. Thus begins the courtship between a vampire who hates humans and a human who loves horses, two people so similar in temperament, why can't they get along?
