Chapter 178

A chill ran down my spine.

I needed to check to know exactly what kind of blood it was. It wasn’t the familiar scent of werewolf blood or that of a vampire or any supernatural creature I knew of. It was something different. And the other different creatures that exist are humans.

I went light headed just thinking about it.

Why would anyone take the life of a harmless creature just for the fun of it? It was a cold–blooded act.

Human blood?

My mind refused to believe Lord Shevek would have it here for dinner, but it looked real enough.

“Is this really human blood?” I asked Lord Shevek again. He only stared at me with a smile.

“You should sit and eat Eden.” He said.

I wasn’t interested in eating. I was more interested in what has been set before me as food.

I moved closer to the table.

Another shiver ran up my spine. I have heard amazing stories about humans; I always wanted to see them and to know their way of life.

They were a part of the world that was mesmerizing, fragile, creatures that have no supernatural gifts, but somehow exist on their own and survive in their own world, far from ours, unaware of creatures like us.

So why would anyone want to hurt them? To serve their blood like vintage wine for dinner.

Did they not care about the lives they took to get this blood? Did they never think that these people have families and dreams and ambitions?

I couldn’t hide my unease; I looked around the table. My mother seemed to be a little tense; her lips were pressed into a tight line, but she seemed to be taking it better than I was.

“Eden, you should sit.” My mother encouraged me from where she sat at the table.

I sighed and went to sit at the table.
