Si no se equivocaba, podría saciar su hambre en tan bello entorno sin tener que esperar ni un minuto más, seguro que esa belleza era una de las humanas de la lista que estaba esperando a su hermano. Decidido a vengarse de todas las ocasiones en las que Gale se había adelantado a él al beber de una de las chicas, se dispuso a ser el primero por una vez.
