bWhat Came Before/b

The blood flowed into her mouth, rich and warm - full of memories that were not her own, yet she felt a part of them. The man under her fangs moaned as death touched him - the silver nitrate attempting to take him from her. This was her attempt to stop that - to halt death in its tracks. Selene had trusted Lucien's words, though he was Lycan. The truth washed through her. War, death, revenge. It was all there for her in moments, the collective memories of the Lycan's - the truths Viktor had hidden from her and from all vampire kind.

Her heart swelled with the blood she drank while simultaneously breaking from Viktor's betrayal. His own daughter - burned alive with a child growing inside of her belly. She watched as Lucien watched, tears pricking her own eyes in the here and now even as she watched what came before.
