Chapter 25

Lucy looked at the print out, he had translated about 10 pages worth so far, from present day back, and it was fascinating. For starters, it was obviously one book in a series, the date on the first page was 1st January 1940. The book was numbered volume 23, so if the previous volumes were as big as this one, potentially one book per 100 years, judging by how ¾ of the book was filled already and it was 78 years old. If they could locate the other 22 books that could be over 2000 years of history. That couldn’t be right. Maybe 2 books per century? He had no way to know for sure, but it was obvious her family had ancient roots. They would have to go and see if any of the properties Lucy now owned held any of the older books. Aris had seen books like these before, two vampire families he knew personally had similar record books and the head of the family was responsible for keeping accurate accounts of notable events and any new family that joined by birth or marriage, as well as the less common deaths that inevitably occurred.

He had the privilege of reading a century out of Isobel’s family journal in the past. She had wanted him to read her story, from her birth to the present day. Another attempt to bond him to her. He was fascinated, with the history, the language and the wealth of information it revealed. But the fascination was for the beauty of the book, not for her beauty. So, he found the language and style of Lucy’s book familiar, and what surprised him was the number of common events and families that they both knew, both the Decante vampire family and the Delarossa dragon shifter family. It would seem the two crossed paths at several junctures in their histories and even shared businesses until a disagreement ended their arrangements. He struggled when he reached the record of Sofia’s birth and life story. He had no idea she had had so much to deal with. In a way it explained why she had pursued a social life in the clubs she had. She had no chance to rebel and find her own path. She went from student to wife and mother, with no time for herself in between. So many expectations from her mother, she had made few choices for herself until she finished school and met Lucy’s dad. Within a year she was pregnant with Lucy. No freedom, so no wonder she eventually craved it.

It made it worse, what he did cut her life short and she had no time to enjoy anything, including motherhood. It wasn’t just sad, it was tragic. He grieved for her all over again, and he knew Lucy would too. She sat reading the sheets he had typed while sat crossed legged on his sofa. A lot of the previous pages had stated impersonal logistical things, others talked of the family’s alliances and long-standing fealty.
