Four

Myra watched the leader of the vampire council kneel beside his mate, the pregnant female and tried to calm her down, reassuring her that he was fine. The female was still looking strained and worried despite her mate reassurance. 

“That was not a good move at all.” The other woman who arrived said glaring at Myra, Myra knew she was the huntress and her using her powers did not endear her to either of the women. 

“I know that it was not a good move but I was forced to react that way, I saw myself as threatened and I have been attacked enough for a life time by vampires.” Myra replied and as usual. She just couldn’t help herself but add. “Besides it was not meant for them, they chose to appear at that exact moment, that is not my fault.” 

The room was silent as everybody including the friendly Jessica glared at her. 

“How about I kill you for attacking my mate, your mother would not be able to do anything to stop it and your race would not be able to avenge you.” The huntress asked, advancing to Myra, while palming a knife that appeared really fast in her hand. Her mate dragged her back to himself and held him. 

“Nobody should touch the heir.” The Leader, Vincent said, standing from his crouch in front of his mate. “She has some explanation to give as to why she has powers not yet reported by her mother the queen. Powers that seem they might rival Vampires own.” 

Myra gulped loudly, what was she thinking really? That was another reason why her race steered clear from the vampires because they would realize how powerful the Ubbis was and in a way of curtailing them, they might choose to kill some of the Ubbis to lessen their strength. The look in Vincent eyes was like he was contemplating that option if she did not manage to put a stop to it, this minute.

“Jacob was aware of the power, it is a surprise that he did inform you guys… well seeing how he attacked me because he did not want me to mention seeing him, I guess there is a lot of things which Jacob did not tell you all.” Myra concluded and when the look in Vince eyes changed, she patted herself on the back for evading that crisis, besides what’s one more lie to tell against Jacob, he was already in their bad book. There was no way he would tell them she was lying when he was trying to hide from them.

“How did Jake know of your power?” Vincent questioned and Myra froze as the deadly tone. Apparently, Vince had stopped thinking her race was hiding something but was now thinking she was an enemy just like Jacob. 

“Wow, hold that thought and send it back to wherever it is coming from. How can you not see that I am the victim here, I was attacked by Jacob, you cannot think that we were working together. I don’t even know what is going on.” Myra rushed out. 

“Then you would have no issues, answering his questions would you?” Caleb asked and Myra grunted. 

“No, I would not. I am a regular at the Luminary court, Jacob and me always run among the same circles there and we were friends because we both belonged to the same category of supernaturals in another court. And before you ask, yes he is aware of my powers because of that and our friendship is just teasing each other and him flirting with me because he wanted to see what sex with a Sex feeder is like.”

“And you are certain that is all.” Vince mentioned. 

“I don’t make it a choice to lie often and never for something this small and besides, if I knew that I would be interrogated and almost attacked again twice. I would have gone home instead and explain to my mother that the vampires are holding important information from our race and because of that hoarding, I was almost killed!” Myra said in an affronted tone which she started using to throw them off her and stop with the questions but by the end of her statement, she was really feeling affronted because her words were true. 

Vince was quiet for a while before inclining his head in a nod. “I am sorry for the bad reception you have received from my comrades and I want to assume that this power of yours only belong to you, that is why your mother did not see it fit to mention directly to me, correct?” 

Myra nodded. After all what’s one more lie to tell in protection of her race. The power to induce an increased rate of adrenaline to a prey that can either make him come or induce a heart attack was something every Ubbis above the age of ten know and uses to protect themselves from attackers. 

“As for the information about Jake being circulated. That was not our choice only. The three main race has to decide if the news was going to affect other races. I voted for, some still voted against.” Vince stated with a shrug. 

Myra nodded. “I saw Jacob among the humans, he seems to be hiding there because he knows most supernaturals tend to stay on their own.” 

“Thank you, now if you would excuse us, the council have something to discuss.” Vincent answered after exchanging a couple of looks with his counter parts. 

“I just brought this news to you, at least tell me more about it so I can warn my people.” Myra said shocked at the dismissal. 

“We will tell you later after we have come to a conclusion. Ashley, can you take her some where she can rest, it appears like the heir will be staying with us for some time.”

“How?” Myra was shocked that he knew. 

“Your mother sent word of your arrival. You were taking your time before arriving here.” Vincent replied. 

“My mate is not escorting her, not when she can do what she just did.” Courtney refuted as Myra gasped. 

“Mate, the vampire council has two mates?” 

“I will follow.” Gwen, the pregnant lady offered and at once arguments ensues but Gwen shook her head. 

“I need to take my daily walk and we need to have a talk with her.” The lady sent a glare at Myra direction and walked out and with a sigh Myra followed. 

Just another day of her dealing with another man’s woman.
