Nathan<\/a> doesn\u2019t talk much about his life before Japan. He fought in the Civil War, was a decorated officer, that saw too many of his men killed. \u00a0After the war, he drank to stop the memories and barely held onto his rank and pension.<\/p>\nHe was sent to Japan to help train the soldiers into an Imperial Army. Except they were kids and not even close to being ready to face battle. When they sent them anyway he rode in afterwards trying to save those he could.<\/p>\n
He ended up taken by Takamori, the Shogun warrior holding back the Emperors advances. He hated the man instantly, yet felt a pull to him that made him want to do anything he asked. Takamori detoxed him, trained him, and then sent him to battle.<\/p>\n
Nathan watched in horror as they were slaughted now under true military soldiers. He carried Takamori\u2019s sword to the young emperor and told his story. All of it. Including what war does to a man. Showed him the honor of Takamori\u2019s heritage.<\/p>\n
He returned to the village only to discover Takamori was actually Katsumoto, a Vampire and his Mate.<\/p>\n
He was Turned and Claimed that night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
