| walked past them. | could feel stares at me, but | ignored everyone around me.

| was smiling as | walked to the parking lot with Luis. He threw his arm on my shoulder and kissed my temple.

I'm so proud of you for standing your ground,” he said.

“Thank you,” | answered.

Even though what | did felt good, | couldn’t help but feel emotional when | entered the car. David was only using me.

| don’t know why | feel emotional. | feel so st upid,” | told Luis.

Love, it’s alright to feel that way. You cared about David, and you found out he was more interested in your money,” Luis was gentle with his tone. | felt stu pid for crying, but | felt better after | did.

“| want to see Ellis. CC said he was in his pack,”

Luis pressed his iPad. | closed my eyes as he drove to the Grey Lycan

Pack.

A Vampire?

Ellis

Once again, there was a murder in the pack. It went undetected. This time, a young woman died near the border of my pack. | called Zeyneb to tell her what happened. She got to work immediately. | called Jace. | knew he had been dealing with his issue, but it was time to get to the office.

“Zeyneb is accessing all the cameras in the area,” Michael said, frantic. These attacks were senseless. It was like the person doing this wanted to scare the people.

Maleck, does anyone have eyes on him?” | asked my head warrior.

Last we heard of him, he was in the Night Fall pack but wasn’t allowed entrance,”

Could it be Alpha Maybin and Maleck had a falling out? My sister’s ex- husband once promised to aid my cousin if he challenged me.

| rubbed my hand in my face. | needed to know what was going on. | went to the general hospital where the body of the woman was taken Doctor Patel directs us to his office.

“Doctor, what happened? Did you find anything that could help us identify the attacker? Any markings?” | asked. Doctor Patel sighed.

11

Yes. The woman’s neck was cut open by fangs,” he said. | was in thought again. It wasn’t odd if a wolf attacked them. Maybe it was a rogue.

But how can a rogue get so far without getting detected? Rogues had a distinctive scent that was hard to miss.

“|

“Could it be a rogue wolf?” Michael asked.

‘lm guessing a vampire,” Doctor Patel said. A vampire from a clan attacking wolves? Vampires and werewolves didn’t get along. They were enemies, but as the world progressed, things changed, and the animosity between the two species changed into something civil. But we have werewolves that still hate vampires, and vice versa.

Vampires kept to themselves and lived in much colder areas of the world.

However, | knew they had a vampire castle here, but it was hidden from us, and the vampires couldn't leave their territory because of a spell.

There was a rebellion that happened over 20 years ago. The vampires started making threats against the witch covens, but the mage king, Kian, and his queen, Priestess Ansley, dealt with the issue. They resolved their differences amicably after killing the instigators of war between the two societies.

“Do you think the vampires are starting to cause trouble for us? They remained hidden from the world for decades only to come and kill two of our people?” asks Michael. | sensed apprehension from him.

“No,” | answered. The vampires like their peace because there are not a lot of numbers. It could be that it’s one person doing this.

What | think is one vampire is responsible for this. We must meet with the vampire King soon,” | said and stood up. | looked back at the doctor and said,

Doctor Patel, no one should hear of this. We can’t be alarming people about vampires when we haven't confirmed anything,” The doctor nodded in understanding. | left the hospital and went to my pack.

As we drove there, my mind went to Love. | was too swift to dismissFrom NôvelDrama.Org.

her.

“Thinking about Love and her engagement to David?” came Michael's voice. | nodded..

“| was too quick to anger. | need to work to be a better person and be more discerning,” | told him. | should have given Love a chance to explain. She was not a vindictive woman and would never hurt me in such a way. David could have been making it up. Michael smiled at

me.

“What?”

‘Im glad to see you take accountability for your rash actions,” he said softly.

11

Have you talked to your father about your mate?” | asked him. He only sighed. He hadn’t talked to his father yet. | shook my head.

Our loved ones deserve to be loved loudly and unapologetically. You need to talk to your father and introduce your ga y mate to the pack,” | told him. | closed my eyes and immediately realized my mistake.

“| meant your mate,” | corrected.

“Thank you, and | will have dinner with my family on Friday. I'll introduce Todd there,” he said.

We left the car and went to the civic headquarters. That was where we held meetings. Earlier, | called a meeting with all my generals and heads of patrols. Before | entered the meeting,

| called my father for counsel,” Ellis, how are you, my boy?” he asked. He sounded cheerful. | could hear my mother, Salome, saying something in the background. Did these two get back together after years? Good for them. | thought.

“Dad, | have a problem,”

My father offered me good advice because he was the alpha of our

11

pack for many years before he handed the reigns over to me.

Go on,”

Two members of the pack have been found dead in a month. | think a vampire is doing this,” | informed him. He was silent for a moment.

“Vampire. | haven't heard from them in years. Gosh, we forget they exist... | will arrange a meeting with the vampire king. It could be he doesn’t even know what is happening,” | said. That was my suspicion, too. It was one person doing this.

11

How will you do that,”

| know his right-hand man, Samuel, he answered.

I spent the next hours in the meeting.

| left the civic base building late. | reached to get my phone from the packet but realized | had broken it. | was missing my children, and wondered how they were doing.

Michael, may | use your phone? | need to check on the twins,”

Gina and Melody are taking good care of them,” he said, handing me his phone. | still needed to check with them anyway. Not that | didn’t trust Gina and Melody. | was dialing my home phone when | saw Lov in the corner of my eye. She was leaning against a sports car. Lui was in the driver’s seat. My girl observed me with puffy eyes. Was sh crying about something? My heart hurt thinking she was crying.

My lycan leaped closer. Lias wanted to get out and run to her, but held steadfast.

Love looked like a beautiful dream, even with her puffy eyes and a red

nose.

With all this running around, | had no chance to talk to her.

She was hesitant to approach me. | opened my arms, and she smiled

faintly at me. Running in my arms like she used to do. | lifted her off the ground, and she wrapped her legs around my torso. | hadn't realized how much | needed and missed her. She buried her face in the crook of my neck, and | held her in a tight embrace. | missed her so f ucking much. | smelled her intoxicating scent and kissed her neck. She pulled her face away from my neck and faced me, cupping my face.

11

Ellis, it's not what you think. | swear | didn’t betray you,” she said quickly. She was agitated, rumbling about stuff | couldn’t comprehend about David tricking her. | kissed her nose, and she stopped talking. | wanted to kiss her lips, but | knew she wouldn't like that since she warned me not to kiss her until things were over with David.

11

Breathe, babe,” | instructed.

She inhaled and nodded.

“|

| want to be with you, Ellis. Only you,” she suddenly said. | exploded

with emotion when | heard those words.
