His words sunk in and hit Tao hard. He almost wanted to double over from the force of the blow but instead closed his eyes briefly. "Nightmares. I am, nothing more then your nightmares." he breathed. When he opened his eyes again they were dead, and he lowered his hands to his sides. "Listen carefully, because it is not something that is discussed outside of council. Every vampire is brought over into a line, a lineage of others. A family." He spit the word. "Each family has certain abilities, and drawbacks because of them. My, family, has blood knowledge. To feed, and not kill, means sharing knowledge. Both ways. You open your mind to them as theirs is open to yours. Which is why I. Do. Not. Feed. There was, that first night, some blood, but not enough to affect you, and has been out of my system more then long enough to no longer affect me. The only thing I garnered from your blood, was the face of your mate and pups. Nothing I would ever use. If I am the cause of your nightmares, it's only by existing. I will send William to the edges of your territory with information from now on. You need not come here again."
He couldn't be in the room any longer, it was suffocating. He moved from behind the desk to step past Riley and out of the office. Leaving the file behind for him if he wanted it.
