Julian's Farewell

Noble born, Julian Marino turned his back on the only life he has ever known to search for a lost friend. Groomed to take his place as an Elder, his father's ambitions, not his own, Julian set out to reinvent himself. Learning to fight, to hunt, to track has been very successful for him, but not in his many year quests to find his best friend. Feeling defeated, Julian goes to the one and only home he still has left and discovers new problems within his race as well as a new war brewing. Serina Ferrari was born a bloodmate. She is destined to be mated with a vampire and will suffer greatly if not. Her system isn't designed for a human life, and without feedings from a vampire, she will die. Her father refuses to accept this fate. He thinks he can cure her and is blind to the suffering she goes through. Taking vampires he hopes to find the cure to save his daughter. When he takes Julian all bets are off. Now the battle is on, but who comes out a victor, or a victim?
