KNIGHT

Dane and I followed the trail where Nirvana and Kailin left the testing room. They must have headed towards the vineyards.

I knew Nirvana. She liked nature and beautiful sights for her painting ideas.

“There’s blood around here.” The blood dried on the ground, and droplets were on the grass.

“Yeah.” Dane scanned the area. “Did someone come here after the incident?”

“No. I told Tucker to keep this site untouched.” I looked around and saw nothing but vast fields of vines. How could someone target one of them?

“It’s done by a pro,” he confirmed my suspicion. “It did not come from the pack house nor that area.” He pointed north.

“Exactly my thought. Nor from the woods.”

“There.” He pointed at the Pinot noir vineyards. “Plants are tall. He could have hidden himself there for hours. Or, if he has a military background, he could go that far on the hill. I bet the latter because that’s what I would do. We have a good sense of smell. He wouldn’t dare trespass if he’s a werewolf.
