My darling Bellame,
I am writing you this letter so that you will know the truth about your heritage. You have probably gone through life wondering who you are and who your parents were. When you were born, your mother and I had to make one of the toughest and most agonizing, decisions of our lives. Sending you away was the only way to ensure your safety, even if it meant losing you. It is important you understand that we had no choice.
The truth is, your mother and I fell in love, but our relationship was forbidden. I am the prince of vampires, and your mother is a huntress, the very thing all vampires despise. While I know that she only kills rouges, those who are evil and have turned their backs on all that we stand for, others would not understand.
Bellame, if you are receiving this letter on your sixteenth birthday, that means my greatest fears have come to pass. My brother, Aldric, has won a battle that we have been fighting for several hundred years, and your grandparents and I are no longer around to guide you. My daughter, you are the rightful heir to the throne. You must defeat him.
Unfortunately, I won’t be there to help you, but your mother, Alyiah, comes from a long line of hunters. She is a Jackson, and is very powerful. She has no idea where you are, as I hid you myself. You must find her.
Wear this crown. It shows proof of who you are, and of what is meant to be. You, and only you, can save our people now. No matter where I am, I will always be with you. You need only to look into your heart.
It is time to go home to Angel’s Pass, my child. Find your mother. And remember, I will always love you.
Your father,
Alexander Christoph
