Kai just stared as the girl flopped herself on the couch. He gave a breathy chuckle in disbelief. "You are extremely self-centered. Since I took you, all I've heard is 'I want this or that.' I'll ask you again. Do you think there would be half as many vampires--hell, half as many nons--if they could just choose not to be that way? Sometimes you don't get what you want, girl. Sometimes you don't get a choice. See, nons understand that at a really young age, 'cuz every last one of us has wished we were human at one point. Every last one of us has wished for that choice. But not a single one of us got our wish, 'cuz life just ain't fuckin' fair sometimes.<br/>"I don't want to kill you, but I swear to every god and devil that I will. You don't get to collapse and complain anymore. You're gonna be a non. You're gonna understand what not having a choice means. Get used to the idea and get ready for it, 'cuz once you're done turning, you're alone."<br/>The shifter stood, crossing to the kitchen to grab a beer out of the fridge.
