บท 40: A threat

Severus waited by the entrance to the lab as many grumpy old men descended from the Battleships.

Leading the grumpy old men was Severus's cousin and the current favourite candidate to be made matriarch after the current patriarch died. 

" My lovely cousin, it's a pleasure to see you ". Severus said with a pout on his face as he extended both his arms, looking for a hug and a kiss.

Needless to say, all that he got was a tight slap across his face that resounded throughout the planet as Grisha said " As shameless as ever, Severus, It's annoying to see you haven't changed one bit ".

Grisha was a beautiful and noble vampire of the Saint Maximus clan who was only a year older than Severus.
