You find yourself at a vampire ball, nothing new, since these types of gatherings are common among vampire families. However, you feel a little out of place. Even if you belong to a vampire family with enough standard to have been invited, you do not share the tastes of the other vampires. Carefree laughter, glasses filled with human blood, plans for the future of families... You see Alaric, the eldest son of the Lowell family, from a distance. He is certainly in his element.
