Lucius POV:
I have lived for centuries.I have watched kingdoms rise and crumble into dust, seen countless mortals crawl through their brief, desperate lives before the inevitable end took them. Humans, witches, wolves — all of them the same in the end. Predictable. Fragile. Doomed. After a while, you begin to recognize the patterns. The way their eyes flicker before death claims them, the trembling of their hands when hope fades. I could tell how a person would die simply by the way they lived.
