“The shocking thing is that I didn’t tell anyone anything. There were quite a lot of people there plus I didn’t think anyone would be stalking me.” Both men looked to the side.
“It was quite obvious after all you are the alpha so it is more than normal to have stalkers.” Layton laughed and accepted.
“You are right. I shouldn’t be shocked.”
“What will we do about the deaths? If we do not get to the bottom of this then there’s no telling when they will stop.” Layton did agree with Strider’s words.
“We are just going to have to get a search party on it, the police might be on it too so we will need to be careful.” Layton later received a call from Valentine.
“When is your wife coming. I should get ready myself.” Valentine lived a lifestyle like Layton but the only difference was their attitude to others.
“She’s already on her way and I hope you keep your word.” Valentine immediately agreed to take Gemini in and it made Layton doubt his thinking.
“Of course plus I wouldn’t want to mess with her, don’t doubt me and here I thought you trusted me.”
“I only trust you cause I have bi another choice.” Valentine chuckled.
“Then that wouldn’t be trusted now would it.” Layton sighed as he felt annoyed.
“Make sure no one knows who she is if they do then this will all be for nothing.”
“Understood.” Layton cut the call and carried on with his duties.
Valentine walked to one of his wives, having many wives was one of the Hender pack’s pride. It was believed that having more than one wife was a sign of prosperity.
“Veronica,” Valentine called out and the girl ran in then bowed.
“You called sir.”
“I want you to get a room ready for our lady guest.” She nodded and ran off. Lilith, Valentine’s second and most loved wife walked in.
“Another queen?” Valentine laughed.
“No. My dear cousin’s wife is paying us a visit.” Lilith was not a fan of Layton either, she thought of him as selfish and cruel.
“I not a fan of him so is his wife.” She sharply said.
“Don’t be selfish love, he is still my cousin you know.”
“He tortured and killed my people. Instead of freedom, he enslaved them.” Valentine knee they were all true.
“But he is also the reason we are together if he wanted to he could have killed or sold you.” Lilith still didn’t listen.
“I will not be in charge of her or let alone do anything with her.” Lilith stormed out leaving Valentine speechless. He made he was to the rest of the pack members.
“I heard your cousin is having a hard time.” Later in one of the members said and Valentine laughed.
“He is but it also affects all of us. Any news from the south or west?” The members murmured.
“No news sir. Not a single wolf could be seen.” Valentine now truly believed his cousin.
“If the attacks keep happening the humans will know of our existence and that’s not great. This could lead to our extinction.” The members grew silent, they knew exactly what their alpha was saying and it frightened them.
“And mostly we do not know this attacker seeing how he might have managed to wipe the south and west. I want answers and we will be forced to join my cousin.” The murmurs began. None of them liked Layton and they were not willing to work with him.
“Isn’t he invincible! Then let him solve the issue himself plus it’s not happening in our territory then why should we act!!” The rest cheered the man who spoke up. Valentine banged the table with his fist.
“As I said this affects us more! If we do not act it will lead to our downfall. We should not wait or let the problems worsen. We might even need his help in the future.” The rest still didn’t want to give in but they knew they had no choice. Leonardo the beta of the pack stood up.
“I am in support of it and I believe all of you should too after all we all have to stick together in the end if we do not then we will all fall.” It was difficult by they agreed.
Switching sides. Francis again worked in his lab but this time with his childhood friend Ember. The girl also believed in supernatural beings so she agreed to help him.
“I heard there have been some murders going on.” She wore her gloves.
“Yeah. Not what I have seen before, she was shredded …. it’s just something else.” Francis forced himself to forget what he had seen.
“It’s strange that they are now starting to act. Heard they went into hiding.” Francis took the piece of blood he had collected and examined it as usual he would not find anything.
“I don’t get why we can’t be able to find any information from this.” Ember stood close to him.
“Oh you can’t find anything like that, they are really good at disguising themselves.” Francis did do his research but he felt like he didn’t know much. After working for some extra minutes Eugene walked in with their delivered food.
“Sorry am late had a little problem with the cars. People are so afraid that they are taking extra caution.” They all had their lunch and Francis sat with Ember on glass but the delicate desk.
