Quiet
His attack is swift and merciless, a tactic he'd perfected over the centuries, causing a silent scream to catch in her throat.

Bane
She stared his wrath in the face when she should've been quavering under his fury; the very worst part of him was her.

Quarrel
It's a futile struggle, a physical tug-of-war between their limbs, spawned by an argument; he subdues her easily, pinning her arms to the bed, a reminder that he is physically stronger; he is far too experienced, and she is far too weak.

Natural
She accuses him of tampering with the natural order of things, the natural order of the world; what's so natural about a world where vampires exist?

Wonders
The small wonders never cease to amaze him like the way he reveled in the secrets in the blood of the white-haired woman he'd preyed on.
