Valerie, I love you so much. I wanted you to have a normalchildhoodso I lived a double life. Hiding in plainsight. Living modestly. He began to pace the room, thewords tumbling out of him. I tried to keep it up, but Ivebeen so disrespected. Even by my own wife. I couldnt do itanymore. Ive settled for far less than I deserved, and I justcouldnt do it anymore. I decided it was time to leave forthe city....For richer hunting grounds. Cesaire was snarlingnow, a scary, powerful force. Valerie felt herself beingdrawn to it....She took a deep, steadying breath. It was not just fearthat she felt. What she felt was so much more complexthan that, something she couldnt understand. Then whydidnt you just go?Because I loved you girls, and I wanted you to comewith me. To share the wealth.But you had to wait until the blood moon.
