“I do not like that you must feed from Mistress Sinai,” she grumbled into his chest. “She is such a bitter female.”

He released a breath. “She was not always so. As a youngling, she was fierce but… not unkind. But when she came of age two millennia ago, she became a rebellious half–adult. Always getting into trouble. Once, she ended up killing a female.”
