The Shifter's Hoard 3

It's been four months since I defeated Ivan Grozny, King of the Nightlords. He ran off with his tail tucked between his legs, and no one has seen anything of the Nightlords since.
The Dragon's Hoard has not remained idle. Two of my mates are days away from giving birth to my children, and I've been slowly expanding and perfecting my base while hunting interlopers.
I'm starting to think the Nightlords won't be showing up again, but if there's one thing about vampires, it's that they're hard to put down for good.
Myself included.
