Prologue

LUCIAN

"Goodbye my love." She was gone, burnt to a crisp.

Lucian woke drenched in sweat as he did almost every night since his love had perished. "Will these ghastly nightmares never end? Am I truly being punished for loving someone so beautiful?"

He shook it off as he always did putting to the fact he had not avenged her unjustified death yet.

"Soon my love it will be over and I shall come rest with you."

A loud roar brought him out of his thoughts followed by cheers. "Take that hook!" "Slash his throat!"

"Fantastic another barbaric fight! Is this not one of the very reasons we are fighting in this war? To be treated like an equal to stop being called cur?"

Fed up Lucian grabbed a shot gun off the table walking furiously out to where the fight was. With one shot the pack was silent.

"You are all acting like a pack of rabid dogs! And that gentleman simply will not do. Not if you want to defeat that vampires on their own ground, not if you want to survive at war. Pierce, Taylor! Put some clothes on will you."

SELENE

"Damn lycans! I can't they would shoot in public. They could have harmed the innocent. It's not like they cared anyway. What the hell was so important to those stupid dogs, why they would risk exposure?"

As Selene looked through the footage at the train station she noticed the two lycans following the blond man she saw at the station.

"They were after you."

"Who was after what?" Erica walked in.

Much to Selene's annoyance, she came over.

"Oh he's attractive."

"Who's attractive?" Kraven walked in.

"Do you see this human?"

"What of him?"

"I think the lycans were following him."

"Other than food, what will those mangy animals be following a human for?"
