Prologue
It was the kind of night when not even a single ray of moonlight penetrated the cold, deep dark. Not even a faint rustling disrupted the brooding silence. Even animals and birds of the night had hidden away, terrified of the blood thirsty aura that permeated the woods. Alone in the centre of this unnatural stillness stood the shadowy figure of a man, dressed in dark greys, which further camouflaged him by blending into the night.
Suddenly the stillness was broken by a chuckle, which developed into full throated laughter. But if one could see the face of the shadowy figure, they would have noticed that there was no mirth there. In fact the face showed nothing but coldness that would have frozen even the deadliest of predators into scared stillness. It was the face of a predator of predators. There was something inhumanely beautiful about it. Sharp featured, long haired. The man opened his eyes. The shapely lips moved and a faint murmur could be heard.
"You think that you can really get away with that, Shizuka? You really think? You will regret this. I promise you, my interfering mate. Nothing can save you now."
He threw back his head and laughed again.
