Ella slowly shook her head in response, "no I've never heard of that before."
Vivian arched her back forward, rested her arms on her legs and smiled briefly to herself, "well have you heard of the term 'mate'? Like in wolves?"
"Yeah, I read about it some time back," Ella responded, "once a wolf chooses a mate they're together for life..." the woman narrowed her eyes at her so called cousin suspiciously, "why do you ask?"
"Well you see princess," Vivian responded, "the same way wolves and lycans have a mate, us nosferatu have blood halves. But unlike lycans who can basically pick anyone at random and mark them, it's very different for us. Finding your blood half is an extremely rare occurrence, so rare that many nosferatu have died without ever finding one. It is only with your blood half that you can bare children, why do you think our population growth rate is snail paced."
