  • (Quoted directly from HERE) When asked at this point if there would be other species introduced she said there was one word that answered that question. You’ll find it on page two of Payne’s book. Because I’m nice, I’ll quote it for you so you don’t have to go look it up:
    …Handpicked and chosen wisely, these males were deadly against the enemy and codeless when it came to vampire society. Codeless when it came to killing as well: It mattered not whether the prey was slayer or human or animal or WOLFEN.  Blood would flow.
