Chapter 8

^Sir, we caught the vampire and are chasing the other creature now. It’s a young female shifter, and she’s petrified! How should we proceed?^ Cameron asked through the Royal Pack mind link.

I sighed, sliding my fingers through my hair for the umpteenth time. I was afraid to look in the mirror to see my appearance. It didn’t take half a brain cell to put the pieces together; I was a mess. My knuckles were bruised and busted open, slowly healing back together because of the drink in my hand. My hair was disheveled, and my eyes had dark circles underneath them.

If Caspari were awake, he would tell me I needed to fix my face. That was his new thing. He’s been walking around and telling everyone to fix their face. I could almost hear his voice in my head, saying those words as his little giggles would fill the room. He’s so much like Carmelo when Caro was young. I shook my head at the thought, pushing them to the back of my mind and focusing on what mattered most.
