Aden's POV

I got a glimpse of the corpse. Just like any other corpse, this one also had its head missing. Whoever was doing this was trying to make identifying the victim difficult for us.

This was the forty-ninth body found since we discovered the first one last year. All the victims were women. 

I had to get away from the scene, the smell of the corpse could make me puke. It seemed the body was out here for a while. The flies hovering over the decomposed body made it difficult to keep focus.

Cassel's uncle, Tim, said something dangerous was going on in town. There was a bite mark on the victim's neck. He said he heard that the killings weren't just happening here but also in Kenvy as well.

It looked like the killer was using the forest as his discard centre. 

I have eyes in Kenvy, those giving me information about my brother, or any happening in the city. And they confirmed receiving news of deaths as well. I frequently go to Kenvy city. But whenever I did, I made sure to always wear a face mask. I was hiding my identity because I didn't want my killers to find out I survived.

The Alpha of Borgn-Alpha Carl has been worried about the reports that have been going around about missing women. The dots couldn't be joined, the killings weren't pointing at anyone in particular. It wasn't a werewolf's doing.

Alpha Carl had asked Uncle Tim and his Beta—Brad to help unravel the mysterious killings going on.

My instincts tell me a vampire is involved, the marks on the neck looked like it was from fangs. But an odd type of marking. The bodies were so pale indicating a complete loss of blood. 

There was going to be a big fight if a vampire is walking among us.

****

 "Cassel don't you think we should begin searching for something else," I asked Cassel who was preparing pasta for his two lovely kids—Kit and Katy.

"Why do you say that?" Cassel asked, munching a carrot.

"This killing isn't executed by a werewolf. I know it. I feel it in my guts. It's something else and it's out there. Haven't you seen those marks on all the victim's necks" I explained 

"I think it's a Vampire" I whispered in a very low tone

"I saw the bites but it could be anything, maybe the werewolf bites them before he kills them." Cassel shrugged 

"Man, you know that doesn't look like a werewolf's bite," I replied disregarding what he said.

"Ok, how can you explain the headless bodies?

Cassel something is going on in town, I don't want to believe there's a vampire among us because that calls for war" I explained

"This is our territory, they can't come here to do whatever they want." 

I knew Cassel had become more careful ever since he became a father. He wasn't willing to take risks like in the past. He has been in denial that there was something dangerous going on.

He was so much in love with his wife Helena. He met her five years ago. And it makes me look like a bad guy anytime Cassel looks at me like I want to end his love life.

Both Cassel and his uncle were out on patrol one night when they discovered a wounded werewolf along the road. Cassel knew it was female but he wondered what she was doing in the bushes alone and injured. They took the werewolf to a hospital. 

She had shifted back into a beautiful young lady. Cassel was enchanted by her beauty. He said he felt an instant connection to her, he perceived a particular scent from her. One that made his hormones pump hard. Blah, Blah. I have heard this story a million times from him. 

Well, that's the power of love, he decided to take a young lady who ran away from home and was seeking refuge as his mate. She gave birth to two beautiful kids, Kit who is four years old and Katy who is two years old.

Cassel loved his family. I understand why he wanted to be careful with his decisions. But we have to keep Borgn safe, only then can we ensure the safety of our friends and loved ones.

"Hey man, stop thinking too deeply. We are going to catch whoever is doing this. But that crap about vampires, please stop saying that" he answered back

"And Aden, do me a favour. Don't let Helena or anyone else hear the V word from you unless you have the energy to calm their anxiety down"

I gave him a nasty smile. Shortly, we heard a scream.

"Cassel, Cassel" Helena cried as she ran towards the house after coming out of the car.

I and Cassel both looked at each other wide-eyed before running out of the house to meet her. 

Helena's hands were bleeding, she said someone attacked her in the woods. She injured her elbow while running but it's already halfway healed.

"Helena what did you go to find in the woods?" asked Cassel hugging her 

"I went to see Mary, a girl I used to know." She answered with fear in her eyes

"She lives in the woods with her sister. The sisters were nice to me back when I used to run from home." 

"I occasionally visited them after I left five years ago, but today on reaching there, I saw something awful. Her older sister's body lay in the cabin beheaded and Mary was nowhere to be found" Elena explained as she searched for more words to say.

"So how did you injure yourself," I asked

"When I almost gave up my search for Mary. She suddenly attacked me. I think she has become something different. Mary looked pale and had long fangs, not like that of werewolves. Aden, I couldn't hear her heartbeat, it was odd" Helena replied

"And she was so strong, I couldn't restrain her, so my best bet was to run"

This got me looking at Cassel, he understood from the way I looked at him that my theory could be right.

"Helena, do you think she fits the description of a vampire?" I asked 

Helena's eyes darted towards me, she didn't want to acknowledge the fact that what she saw was a vampire but she replied.

"I think so"

Now we knew where to begin our search. Helena's ordeal is a confirmation that a lot is going on in Borgn.

We needed to find whoever this Mary is before she hurts someone…

The fresh air reminded me of my childhood memories but this was where I lost a part of me, my happiness.While in kenvy I decided to lodge in a hotel first before getting myself an apartment. After I settled in on Sunday evening. I prepared myself for work the following day. I didn't want to arrive late. That will speak badly of me. I began unpacking my things.

    Aden's POV I have never joked with my gut feelings. It's there for a reason. So I don't overlook it. I knew something was going on in Borgn that was linked to Vampires. It was clear for anyone with eyes to see. Unless people in Borgn were trying to cover it up because they didn't want everyone to think an impending war was on the way. By the way, we werewolves don't bite that way, we ain't bloodsuckers. When we bite, we bite to kill and that's in our werewolf form. Another reason for a werewolf to bite is to mark his mate of course. "How do I know this much?" Cassel asked me right after what happened to Helena in the woods. After Helena came back home that fateful day looking terrified. Cassel finally picked interest in the V word. I know he one day would. It's just unfortunate Helena had to get hurt before he listened. Who wouldn't after a loved one gets attacked? "I used to read a lot when I was younger. If I wasn't playing with Argon, my twin brother, I would be in my father

    Kierra's POV I wasn't emotionally ready for what I saw yesterday. When I saw him, I think my heart stopped beating back there. I had seen someone who was supposed to be dead. "But how?" I asked myself. Was I given the wrong information then? It had to be, I shook Aden's hands yesterday. He was standing right in front of me. He was real. I couldn't forget the way he looked at me yesterday. I have never felt so weak under someone's gaze. The way he called my name was so natural and sweet. Did he know I had applied to work in his firm? He didn't look surprised to see me. I hope I get to see him alone and ask him questions I need to find answers to. He had to explain to me what triggered and who helped spread the rumor of his death. And most importantly, he might have had an idea or must have heard stories related to my family's demise. I could use his help to search for answers. But I had to stop myself from thinking we were going to be as close as we were in the past… "Kierra, Ade

    Aden's POV Back in the woods. I felt that we were being watched. I could hear a person's heartbeat but it was faint. The person must have been watching us from afar and the tall trees gave whoever it was a perfect shield. We were on our way back home when we heard an almost deafening sound. It was the car tires. "What the heck was that," Cassel yelled "I think we just stepped on corks" uncle Tim responded Before we knew what was happening our car went off the road. Uncle Tim was trying to bring the situation under control by driving the car to a safe spot. "Hey guys, I think we have got company," Brad yelled from behind the truck A dozen guys came after us. Before we could get out of the car. They were already onto us. I couldn't understand why these guys were charging at us. Then I remembered the faint heartbeat I heard in the woods. A thought crossed me " Seems the person spying on us in the woods has alerted the others" The three of us got out of the car to get ready to f

    Aden's POV It's been a long time since I was involved in a fight. The last fight I had was with the Borgn's clan beta Brad. He challenged me to a fight a year ago and I defeated him. I was almost made the Beta of the clan then, but I turned it down. I told Alpha Carl it wasn't my ambition. Brad was a narrow-minded guy, he had a temper that made him blind to see reasons whenever he was angry. Many say he isn't worthy of being a Beta because of some of his scandalous habits. He was a great gambler. People say he started gambling and drinking after he lost his father. Although his mom is alive and well. Instead of getting worked up by her son's attitude she usually spends her day at the clinic. His father was the beta to the Borgn clan before he died and his mum was a nurse, a salutary werewolf (a herbal wolf that takes care of the ill and injured). Brad's father died when he was seventeen. It was an unfortunate incideng. One faithful day, the Borgn Clan were attacked by rogue w

It's probably just a harmless meeting" I encouraged myself In my wildest dream I never knew I would be faced with such a circumstance—Seeing Aden again face to face. I don't think I have enough courage to contain both my excitement and disbelief. "What was he going to say? What will I say? Should I hug him to show how relieved I am that he's alive? Will he want us back as we used to? What if he has a mate now?" These questions ran through my mind. Another thought came to me, it sounded like the werewolf part of me was warning me." Kierra, you don't need to show those emotions. You will look too cheap and will make it seem you are drooling over him. Keep your shoulders high. By the way, you need to be angry instead of being happy. If he was alive all these years why didn't he search for you. I doubt if he loves you anymore"I kept a neutral face

Her body was still not used to the changes taking place. It was obvious she was hungry for blood. It's been four days since we captured her from the woods. The rogue werewolf was also under captivity and apprehended in a cell. He has refused to say a word.Alpha Carl has decided to hold the interrogation today.We observed that Mary usually has a switch in personality. She becomes wild when her vampire instinct is dominant and she becomes more friendly when her wolf instinct is dominant. It was a battle between two powerful traits.Mary goes out of control whenever she craves blood. That was why she attacked us back in the woods, we met her in a wild state. Hunger!It's very possible the blood she might have gotten from her sister's body and other small animals she could find may not

    Kierra's POV "You should have stayed back" The stranger's words were ringing in my head. I needed to meet this man again. The sense of trying to figure out what he knew, what secrets were lurking around was eating me up. I knew I was special. My uncle always mentions it. But he warned me to try to be normal as best as possible. When I was eight I discovered I could lift a rock the size of our house with my bare hands. I could cause a tree to fall by just striking its trunk. I could run very fast and at eleven, shockingly I could absorb another wolf's energy making me even more powerful. Uncle said I have these powers because I am a Primordial werewolf. In fact, I am the last of them. He never spoke about my parents, he never told me how they both died. He only kept on emphasizing that I had to live like other werewolves. That I had to hide my powers. He didn't reveal much to me about them or the Primordials. At age eleven I was almost kidnapped at my old school. This was the

I refused to answer any of his calls. I wonder what a liar and deceptive crook like him wanted to tell me. We all planned to rescue Beatrice and Lisa tonight. Nothing was going to stop us. All six of us were going to Raven Park and we are going to come out of there alive. I do not care what Aden and his friends think of Raven Park, I would go there even if it were located in the underworld. I am never going to forgive Lucian for what he did. How could he install a camera in my room? All those steamy moments with Argon were seen by someone else …. Uh…..this is so embarrassing. Aden had done well for himself, he told me how he

No one can take her away from me.""I will love to see you try," I said and ended the call. That will be enough to put him on his toes and give him sleepless nights. I made sure to block his number so that he wouldn't be able to reach my number if he tried. I went to the living room after my call with Argon. I meet Elliot speaking with Kierra. It seemed he just got back."Finally, you are here. That's a relief." Elliot said to Kierra."Elliot, how have you been? Heard you stepped out for a while."

    Kierra's POV I was surprised at my composure, at how I was able to play it cool for a week. Both I and Beatrice acted like we didn't know what Lucian was involved in. With Beatrice's discovery, Lucian wasn't the humble, loyal and sweet guy we knew anymore. We wondered how the perception one has about another could easily and quickly change by just finding out the truth about them. Things were beginning to make sense now. Igatus may be the mastermind behind the killings, that was why he beat up Lucian and was angry he saved her when he wasn't supposed to intervene. How have they stayed under the radar for so long? And I definitely know there is a third man behind the scene. Igatus mentioned him the other day. I heard him clearly. With the revelations and events happening around me, I was becoming more distant from Aden and my fear was for him not to notice these changes. I know Aden was smart enough to pick up on the fact that something was wrong by now. Although, on my part, I t
