Some thing was coming, some thing bad, and... ye, sure, like its that much of a shock.
She forgot about me, of course she did, just like every one does, every one always forgets about the fat one.
Saying shit like 'oh, your not ready'. Ye so what I', pleasantly plump, I loved the cake, but ain’t like I didn’t train, trained my arse off I did.
Got one word for her, and her gang of little groupies.
Fuck you.
Oh ye, that’s two words, right. Ye, like I cared, so what maybe I ain’t that smart, so what, sue me.
Didn’t want to be in there gang any ways, they needed me way, way more then I would ever need them, so there.
They hated me, and I hated them so much more.
And, ye, so what, what if they didn’t know I existed, so what if Will die before he asked them to come and get me, so what if she popped outta the ground, like some sort of decrepit daisy before I ever got my chance, fuck it, so what If I didn’t know exactly where they were, they had help, ain’t like they needed me, ain’t like I needed them, and I mean, ain’t like it was my fault if they lived or died, at least I was still alive, fuck them.

When Soren's father disappears, Ari and Soren are left to unravel the mysteries of Volkir's past as an old enemy threatens the present.
*****
Two years have gone by since Soren turned, and now his father wants him to take his place as Master of his realm. Soren has no desire to inherit his father's responsibilities, however, and would rather live a simple, uncomplicated life with his witch-mage husband and life-mate, Ari Lorenfield.
Ari has enough on his plate as it is, having taken over leadership of the Guardian Circle, and Soren worries he'll work himself to death if he doesn't learn to say 'no.'
When a mysterious new-blooded vampire appears bearing a strange message, though, Volkir vanishes, leaving Soren in charge of his domain. As new perils surface, Ari and Soren must look to their friends for help as they seek to discover the secrets of Volkir's past and save their own future.
