“Xavier, the alpha has summoned you.” Zande his friend and soon to be beta of the werewolf pack told him. “What is it now?” asked Xavier as he stops training looking to his friend for answers but he got none as Zande shrugged. “I will go and shower then go see him.” Xavier says heading to the packhouse to shower with Zande following behind. “He said you must see him at once, he is with the Luna and it looks like what they have to say is important.” Zande told him making Xavier halt in his steps.
“Then I shall go see them at once.” Simon nodded and went back to the training grounds while Xavier went to his father’s office. Luka caught his scent before he even knocked on the door. “Come on in, Xavier” Xavier sighed before opening the door and going in. “Father, mother.” He greeted; Zoe smiled at him. “Come in and take a seat. Your father and I have some news.” She told him and
A week passed with Zande and Xavier spending most of their time in the library reading anything and everything they can get their hands on about hybrids. But what they found mostly was information about hybrids born of two species and nothing about the hybrid that was made. The time they spend in the library even caught the Luna’s attention and she wanted to know the reason.This day after training and breakfast the two went to the library as usual. Zoe looked at the Luka. “What do you think they are doing in there? They spend the whole day in there and even forget to eat.” Luka shrugged. “I don’t know, but I would like it if they were familiarizing themselves with pack business, they are about to lead this pack and it would be a good idea if they are not completely useless when they do.” Zoe shook her head.“You know those boys are not useless, you taught them everything they need to know and they are ready. This might be some
The following morning Xavier and Zande left taking the first flight to Louisiana. When they landed at the airport, they went and booked themselves into a hotel. “We are here, what now?” asked Zande after settling in. “I think we can use a drink; it’s been a long journey.” Zande looked at him wondering if the young alpha has gone mad. “What would we be doing getting a drink when we don’t have time for such or did you already forget you are to be alpha in two weeks?” Xavier chuckled.“Which places do you know where people gossip a lot?” asked Xavier with a raised eyebrow. “I get it, let’s go.” Xavier looked at his friend and shook his head. They walked out of the hotel and got into the car they rented. “The air around this place is heavy,” Zande said looking around before getting into the car. “I also think we are being watched.” He told Xavier. “I have the same feeling,
Nadia took them out through the back door and they got into a van that was parked there. “Our car?” questioned Zande. “Give the keys to Sylvia, she will take care of it.” Zande hesitantly gave the keys to Sylvia. “Don’t worry, everything is going to be okay,” Nadia told them. “What did you mean when you said my friend here is the only chance you have at getting out of here alive?” asked Zande, he did not want to just accept the vague answers the witch kept giving them.Nadia sighed and looked at Zande through the mirror. “Things are not what they seem here, as you see us, everyone here is a prisoner of one vampire, Vladimir.” She told them and the pair looked at each other thinking about how Sylvia had confused them for people working for this Vladimir. “We heard about this Vladimir from Sylvia yesterday, in fact, she thought we were working for him,” Xavier told her.“She has every rea
When Xavier came back ten minutes later, he had a residue of blood on his chin and sides of his mouth. “You have blood on your chin.” Zande told him and Xavier smirked. “I didn’t release.” He said tying to wipe the blood off but ended up spreading it, Zande looked at him with disgust, werewolves don’t drink blood, they eat food like humans do, yes, they hunt in their wolf forms but drinking blood is not something they usually do. Werebears don’t drink blood at all, their diet has nothing to do with blood.Nadia chuckled seeing Zande’s disgusted face. “Here, let me help you with that young alpha, I guess I should have told you that your diet will now consist of blood as well. You won’t be craving it like vampires do but to keep up with your vampire side you will have to drink blood at least a cup or two a day.” Xavier nodded. “I don’t think that will be a problem, it did not taste so bad when I tried
Vladimir did not look a day over eighteen, was a handsome young man, and for the life of Zande and Xavier. They could not understand why this kid was called an elder and at first glance, the young man looked innocent. “Well?” he raised an eyebrow looking at Anton ignoring the two like they were not even there. “Vladimir, this is my first cousin and his friend. They are just passing through and he thought of visiting me.” Xavier noticed the fear in Anton as he spoke to Vladimir.When Nadia told them about the elder vampire Vladimir, he had a picture of an old vampire, not a kid. Well, technically he was not a kid but because they turned him at a young age, he stopped growing and now he still looked like a kid in his old age. “Then your family is my family, I needed you for something but since you have guests, then I guess you can bring them with you.” Vladimir looked at him with amusement in his eyes. Anton looked at Zande apologetically but
Anton dropped them off at Sylvia’s shop, Xavier went in and left the men talking in the car. When Sylvia saw him, she smiled excitedly making Xavier feel bad for what he was about to do to them. “We are ready to go.” She told him and Xavier forced a smile. He did not know how to break the news to this young woman who played a huge role in making his dream come true, now he was going to crush her dream of leaving this place and he felt bad about it.“Where is the elder Nadia?” he asked avoiding making eye contact with Sylvia, “At the back, I will get her.” She told him and was about to go and get her when Xavier stopped her. “Don’t, I will see her myself.” Sylvia nodded and Xavier went to the back. “What is it now, young alpha?” asked Nadia as soon as she saw him come in, she knew that things have changed just by looking at him.“I have news, we will still leave together but not now.” Na
They spent the next two days making plans, Anton managed to get the keys and made copies of them without being seen. He also organised the four vans and tracks that were needed to transport everyone. Xavier managed to talk to the lady bartender named Lydia, and they were currently waiting for the men she organised at the warehouse.“Do you think they are coming?” asked Xavier now nervous as he saw the time, they agreed on has passed. “If they don’t come, then we will have to rethink our entire plan.” Zande told him; he too was worried about this plan not working out but most importantly about Xavier’s ceremony that was fast approaching. “We don’t have the luxury of time; I have to be back home for the ceremony or my father will come looking for us and I can’t have that. The witch said he will die if he sets foot here.”Now out of all the things Nadia told them this Zande refused to believe, they were talking a
“I have been checking the books, and I found out the shops and businesses on the other side of town have not paid taxes yet, is there a reason we have not collected on that side.” A day has pass and today was thee day when the wolves were being rescued. Anton was taking care of his part of making sure Vladimir’s men were occupied. “We were busy on this side, we only finished yesterday and today we were planning on going to collect that side.” Anton looked at him squinting his eyes.“Do you want me to tell Vladimir that when he asks?” he raised an eyebrow looking at the men. “It is you job to make sure all the taxes are collected, and it is mine to make sure that all the money is there. If you don’t do your jobs, I can’t do mine and if Vladimir asks, I will tell him the truth.” The men looking at each other worried. “You are still here?” they rushed to get out the door leaving, Anton sighed relieved,
