(Elianna's POV)
From the very first moment that I laid my eyes on him at the city gates, he managed to catch my full attention.
I felt a strange aura radiating from him— those striking red eyes and that unnervingly pale skin... I know that having those traits are not always absolute signs that someone is a vampire, which is exactly why we do not spread this specific information to the general public; but my personal instinct was screaming at me that there was something fundamentally different about this man.
However, I had no actual proof to back up this feeling of mine, nor did I have the time to sit around and confirm my suspicions. So, in the end... I just decided to let it go for a while.
I cannot simply go around accusing innocent people of being a vampire based solely on a gut feeling, after all.
