Hi everyone! Thank you so much for the wonderful reviews that I like so much! Hope you like this new chapter!
Just a little thing, real life is completely crazy for me right now, so maybe I won't be able to update every day as I used to (alternating this one and More pheromones), but I'll do my best!
Enjoy, and please review!

Hi vampires! I wanted to share an email with you, sent to me by a vampire who wants to remain anonymous. With his permission, I'll give it to you. It says it all.
Dear Edward,
Thank you for your interesting blog. I wanted to share my own reflections with you about humans. I'm a regular vampire, I drink human blood, like I've done for the past six centuries. But during all this time, I've never found my mate. Six hundred years roaming the earth alone as a nomad is a long time, I can assure you. I feel lonely and sad most of the time.
And maybe because of that, human blood doesn't satisfy me anymore. It soothes my burning throat and fulfills a basic need, but that's all. And in all honesty, I do believe that we vampires are just powerful serial killers, murdering humans to feed. I don't dare count the humans I drained in my long existence, not if I want to keep my sanity.
I watch humans all the time, Edward. Being a solitary nomad gives me the opportunity to. And you are right, they are our equals in most ways. But they are superior to us in the fact that they condemn murders. Do we? I don't think so. The first time I've seen something looking like that is your blog, Edward. It states clearly what I've been thinking for a long time now. And it gives me such hope! I killed humans because I thought there was no other way, but there is!
I've started my new diet a week ago thanks to you, with a black bear. It was just delicious, and I felt much better killing it than a human. Even if the blood wasn't fully satisfying, I just tell myself that I saved a human life, killing a bear instead. I saved a human life.
Now that I'm resolute to hold on to my new lifestyle, I've much hope that, like you, I'll find my mate someday, somewhere. I never sought her out among humans, only looking for a vampire. But perhaps, like your mate Bella, she's just a human waiting for me to change her?
Thank you so much, Edward, for giving me hope. I'll continue reading your blog faithfully, and I'll keep you updated. Wish me luck.
I was moved when reading this. Please think about this vampire and wish him well, like me.
Edward
From HappyMumofSix, 5.41 am: Oh, what a moving story! He'll be in my thoughts, of course!
From GoldenDoc, 5.42 am: And in my prayers. It is so brave of him to change his lifestyle like that!
From SparkyMate, 5.44 am: Kudos, anonymous vampire!
From FashionPixie, 5.47 am: He will find his mate sooner than he thinks ;)
From AlaskanWildfire, 5.48 am: Has he ever visited Alaska? Maybe he'll find his mate there...
From BlondeVenus1915, 5.50 am: So subtle, AlaskanWildfire. Are you desperate to the point of trying to shack up with all celibate vampires?
From HappyMumofSix, 5.51 am: BlondeVenus1915!
From BlondeVenus1915, 5.52 am: What? She's the one who tried for eighty years to shack up with my brother! If it isn't desperation, I don't know what is!
From AlaskanWildfire, 5.54 am: Can we please not talk about this mistake anymore? I don't want to be dismembered by EdwardsMate87.
From EdwardsMate87, 5.55 am: Hmmmm, dismemberment. Interesting idea...
From FashionPixie, 5.56 am: EdwardsMate87, go play with your waiting mate and leave our family alone! Edward is only yours, and if someone here is dumb enough to ignore it, then you'll do whatever you want.
From EdwardsMate87, 5.57 am: You got it, FashionPixie. But my prayers go to this vampire too. I hope he'll soon find happiness.
From FashionPixie, 5.58 am: He will. Just not in Alaska...
From AlaskanWildfire, 6.01 am: Dammit!
