Caesar rocked back on his heels, locking his hands together. They disappeared into the long sleeves of his impeccably white robe. “We have a ranking point system here. Humans who have been vetted and have lived among us for at least ten years are allowed to request a turn.” He glanced between us each. I found myself curious to know the answer to Corinth’s question as he continued. “The hierarchy determines if a human has contributed enough to our cause during that time frame. And it’s strictly voluntary—there is an age limit put in place. No children.”

I watched Alastair grab a mug and fill it to the brim, trying not to lick my lips as my stomach rumbled. He handed it to me, and I took it gratefully while he poured himself a cup too. I couldn’t help but notice how this topic of conversation seemed to put Alastair on edge.

I stared at the dark red inside the cup. It was still warm. “Where do get your supply from?”

Caesar said, “We donate.”

He threw those words around a lot. Voluntary and donate. I guess it made sense. It was better than forcing it from unwilling participants like so many other clans out there. I was starting to think this was the way to go: peace and quiet, everyone coexisting with one another, humans included. If Sozo hadn’t let a homicidal maniac in here, I might admit that this place wasn’t so bad. I wondered how humans came to live here though. It didn’t seem like they abducted anyone. Everything appeared legit—on the surface. Alastair had done enough homework to make sure we hadn’t walked into an enemy minefield. Except for the part where Gabriel was invited to the party too, that is.

I felt myself starting to relax, the tension going out of my shoulders as I refueled. It felt like ages since I’d had a decent meal.

“You may take a cup to go if you wish—while I take you to your rooms—or you can stay and I’ll show Corinth to Kitchen B. You are all perfectly safe here.”

“No—” I said quickly. “We don’t separate.” Even though I was starting to get the tiniest bit comfortable, it didn’t mean we threw caution to the wind. Gabriel was still out there, walking free after he killed my father, and that thought made my blood boil.
