down. He’s killing my people and destroying the area. With my factory’s bombing, I can’t take another hit. There are other families down here and even more powerful leaders. If he keeps the roaring up, he’s going to get their attention. And then we’re all dead.”
    “News flash, fire kills Vampires. I’m not worried.”
    Dante’s fangs revealed themselves. “Then we have Mother Earth and whoever else set us up to fight each other, still out there somewhere lurking in the shadows of Santeria. And to add to the pot, all of the pureblood councils are in an uproar over our destruction of the Masquerade Ball.”
    “Correction.” I gestured to him. “Your destruction of the ball.”
    “They’re saying it’s both of us, Bottelli Family and MFE to be exact.”
    Vampires destroyed a party. Of course let’s just blame a bunch of Mixbreeds too.
    Dante continued. “We’re supposed to meet with the councils soon—”
    “Fuck them.”
    “Do you know any other English words besides curses?”
    “Fuck you too.” I considered what Zulu used to always say. “I don’t obey any council.”
    “Me either, until they’re all coming for me at once. Then I dance and do whatever else they ask.” Dante combed his fingers through his hair. “And they will be coming after us. Those Witches spent a year planning that event. You ignore them and you’ll be looking over your back for unexpected spells until they forget. And Witches never forget.”
    Well. At least we agreed on one thing.
    Witches kept grudges for centuries. They also hated Vamps. They shunned them whenever possible—blocking them from business contracts, resources, and events. The hatred went as far back as the Supe-Human wars. All the Purebloods believed that supes would’ve won the wars if the Vamps had joined the fight.
    After the government discovered the existence of supes and captured them, Witches united with Shifters and attacked Washington, DC, starting the Supe-Human wars. It resulted in five years of death and destruction that spread from America to all regions of the world. Governments everywhere combined their militaries together in fear, striking against any being with an ounce of paranormal power. Fairies and Trolls joined the wars.
    What did the Vampires do?
    They fled to third world countries for refuge, only to be captured later.
    “Yeah.” I dug my hands into my jeans. “Witches have never gotten over you Vamps betraying all supes.”
    “We didn’t betray anyone. We just used our common sense. I’ve been alive for decades. Humans always win. They have the resources. For every one supernatural there are ten humans.”
    The only humans I knew were habitat police, but I didn’t bicker further with Dante. History supported his argument. The first year of the wars, the supes won many battles. Witches used earth’s elements to fight. Shifters had strength and rapid healing ability. Fairies possessed an assortment of powers to use, including glamour to hide most of the supes’ bases.
    But the Humans owned the weapons.
    The government conducted tests on the probed supes they’d caught earlier and discovered each species’ weakness. Steel bullets destroyed Shifter and Fairy military units. Battlefields were covered in liquid silver to prevent Earth Witches from controlling the land. Monkweed, an herb deadly to all Witches, was processed into liquid and gas forms. Human soldiers drank Monkweed to prevent Water Witches from controlling their bloodstream. They sprayed Monkweed gas in the air to instantly kill Fire and Air Witches.
    In no time, humans were victorious.
    Supes surrendered and lived in concentration camps with no running water. The camps produced disease. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals conducted an international campaign against the most powerful countries. They demanded a nonviolent solution that would treat supes humanely. As a compromise, the governments developed the Habitat System, a network of caged supe
