It was supposed to be just rain.
Just another night of choosing each other in a world that refuses to understand.
But the red dot on Genevieve’s chest changed everything.
A voice from above.
A rifle in shaking hands.
A line drawn between bloodline and love.
And Genevieve… doesn’t move.
She steps closer to Tania instead.
The gunshot shatters the alley.
For a moment, there is only rain — and the sound of something breaking that isn’t brick.
Tania has survived a thousand years by controlling herself.
By never losing control.
By never choosing a human.
But as she holds Genevieve in her arms, feeling warmth slipping through her fingers, control doesn’t feel like strength anymore.
It feels like cruelty.
Above them, someone watches.
Ancient.
Patient.
Smiling.
Because this is what happens when hunters and vampires forget their place.
Because love was never supposed to survive this.
And tonight, it might not.
Episode 13.
Some choices don’t just change you.
They wound you.
