“I never thought I would stumble upon my bride. I’ve searched a lifetime for her, and to think she just waltzed into the casino and applied for a job.” Sorin snorted.

He immediately felt the effects of the blood.
The fog in his head cleared up.
A rush of adrenaline coursed through his veins.

“Would you like anything else?” the waitress asked. Her eyes flickered to Linkin. She bit her lip, and Sorin held back a roll of his eyes.
Linkin narrowed his on the female and leaned on the counter with his lips curled up in the corner.
“I’ll be back.” Sorin stood and walked through the club and headed toward the back offices. He wanted to speak to the manager to get answers about the staked vampire and the missing one.
If he was going to take back control of the clan, then he needed answers.
