Xara Seraphine's POV
I turned back to my workbench, adjusting the ratios of the mixture, diluting the golden liquid in different measures.
Trying, always trying—to find some balance, some formula that might stop the endless cycle of monsterization.
But no matter what… no matter what kind of combination and whatever blood it mixed with… in the end, those people turned into monsters.
"Are you even trying, bitch?!" Mary shouted, glaring at me.
I bristled, "I told you it's impossible to understand this without the details of the combinations. Even with every variable I tried—this is not something that can be used on people. Are you trying to turn them into monsters or what?"
Mary ground her teeth. "If that's what it takes… I will. Turn every single one into a monster… believe me, Xara, you do not want to be left out of it. Just find a way."
I clenched my fist until my knuckles ached. Find a way… find a way that... fuck you!!!
