Chapter 44

(POV - Nicholas Shaw)

They took me to one of the properties owned by the Alastair clan, several Volders and Leeches were already waiting for us. They were all wearing black coats that almost covered their faces. This clan is one of the oldest clans that still exists today so all the rituals are still performed in the ancient way, probably thousands of years old. The oldest leader is Dostov, nobody knows his exact age but my guess is he is 800 ... or maybe 1000 years old. In his entire life he has never turned someone into his Leech, he keeps his blood pure to this day.

Maybe Greg is one of the strongest Volders right now, but when compared to Dostov ... No one knows for sure how strong Dostov really is, because none of his enemies managed to survive after meeting Dostov. All died before they could tell.

The next leader is the second oldest Volder in this clan, Alastair. If the dead had been a member of this clan ... who was much younger and lacked power, perhaps they wouldn't have gath
