     However, rules are rules. They are like our bible; our ten commandments and we must obey them or accept the consequences. When I joined this clan, near two hundred years ago I made an oath, on my life, and though at times my life is tedious and I welcome death, something stays my mind. It has kept me alive another day and then another…

My instincts kicked in, followed by a territorial reaction. It took me by surprise. I cannot remember the last time when blood-crave consumed me; two Centuries of near flawless control, dashed away for a moment by one weak scent.
