Seed. Coffee And Blood, #4

"Mr. Vampire, I need your help."Kazimir DeElysia has no love for the Council. He and his Matriarch have lived just out of Council reach for the past three thousand years-ever since they were deemed unfit to continue living as immortals. Elysia because of arbitrary laws. Kaz because he refused to stand by and allow her to be executed. Theirs is a noble vampire heritage, one that affords Elysia the revered title of Elder, one of the few remaining in the living world.
The city they claimed is theirs, and theirs alone. Immortals are not permitted to visit without permission. So, when vampires begin to go missing, Kaz considers it immortal business, and none of his. Until Ashley shows up, looking for her father and scaring off humans as she makes her entrance. Humans who were hunting Kaz's Matriarch. His response isn't a matter of revenge. It's a matter of family loyalty and pride.
And just a little bloodthirsty delight.
