Chapter 37

"I was very young back then so I don't remember much." Small blessings I hear Lucien whisper beside me, but I say nothing to that. "Some vampires got attracted by me… 'You are powerful' ' You smell good' ' You are tasty'." At that she frowns and looks at Lucien:

"Do I smell good?" She crooks her head to the side, thinking yet too young to be aware of the undertones, the non said threat, all that came from hunting beasts like these.
