Against his better judgment, he agrees to drive him to a surprisingly lavish estate.

She could have bitten me. She chose not to. Thorn is the kind of dangerous you don't walk away from. She found me at my lowest: beaten, humiliated, with nothing left to lose. She made me an offer I should have refused. One night of power. Real power. Enough to make them pay. But there was no bite. No blood exchange. No transformation under a full moon. What she slid into my veins was something else entirely. Something engineered from her own blood. The Vampire Formula. It worked. But by morning it was gone. That's when I understood the trap.

It shouldn’t have mattered one way or the other, seeing as how full authority over the underground clan was Marco’s by right. At least, that was we assumed before an official challenge to his authority...
