Chapter 45: It's Best To Stay Away Pt. 3
I took a deep breath and then reluctantly spoke the truth that the Beta of the Blood Moon pack requested of me.
“I do not think so much of myself to assume that I could take you down, Master Almeida.” I clarified. “Mistress Bet was one of the easier inhumans I’ve had to put down.”
“Ah, so-”
“That is not to say that you would not catch hell trying to do the same to me,” I interrupted him. Since he wanted me to speak candidly, I would. “One thing that I’ve learned in my seven years of vassal-hood is that there is more than one way to skin a cat…a dog, vampire, wolf….or lycan.” I looked into his eyes. “It may be a small percent chance, but I assure you that there is always...a chance of me putting you down.”

Valene: Even with a full day left to prepare, it seemed like mere hours. Before I could blink, it was suddenly the night of Harlyn’s gathering, and it seemed that the whole borough of Shadow Veil seemed to be abuzz about it. Although it took no small effort on everyone’s part, we managed to finish decorating right in the nick of time. Never mind the fact that the forecast called for chilly weather that day, though nothing too ruinous. While everyone was getting ready, I was tasked to head to Bone’s to make sure that everything was well-placed and ready to go. Master Wade insisted that I take a vehicle instead of a cab, and since we were so strapped for time, I did. I pulled up outside of the bar and looked at the door. I hardly stepped foot in the place since the incident that night with the intruders, and when I did, hardly a word was spoken between myself and the staff, Herry included. It was as if they all were afraid of me now, and to be honest…I couldn’t blame them. Plac

"What I'm about to tell you is not a simple truth, if I'm being honest," I remarked to my friend and former boss. “It’s…complicated, Herry-my involvement in all this. Just know that…while I am a vassal, I assure you that my Master does take good care of me and-”“Taking good care of you? Valene, I watched you slaughter a group of inhumans like-like it was nothing! Is that taking good care of you? I-I know that it is not my place to question this. I’m sorry Valene, I-I just-”“Have you ever heard of a gold blood, Herry?” I asked.“A…a what?” “Gold blood,” I stood from where I sat. When he shook his head, I smiled and nodded, figuring as much. “How could you?” I muttered to myself more than him. “Gold blood shouldn’t mean a thing to a human.” “What is it?” he asked, his interest seemingly piqued by this.“It’s a human with a rare blood type. Not O negative or AB or anything like that. It’s…it’s a blood type that cannot be identified, but is…special in some way.” I scoffed. “At least sp

Valene:When I returned to the Wade estate, Harlyn’s car was already outside. With only two hours before everyone had to head to Bone’s, I was honestly surprised that she didn’t call me. During this time, she was usually frantic about getting ready. I was always tasked to be her calm and support. Maybe Penelope was that source tonight.I went into the house and quickly rushed up the stairs and to her door. “Mistress?” I started to knock when her door swung open.“Where the bloody hell have you been?” Harlyn’s eyes were bewildered and frantic. I tipped my head to the side and looked past her, and sure as I was standing there, Penelope was sitting on the bed looking entirely defeated.“Apologies, Mistress,” I quickl

Yet another space of silence resulted in the response that I gave Master Wade before he finally spoke again. “I…can’t say that I am necessarily glad to hear that, Valene. But if you are okay then so am I.” We shared a smile before he headed toward the door. “Oh! Before I forget,” He picked up the significantly sized bag that he dropped on my bed earlier. I didn’t even realize what it was until that moment. “I had a request.”“What is it, Master Wade?” I asked, glancing at the bag before regarding him again.“I was wondering if you’d perform tonight…at the bar?” This was certainly a surprise. “I-sir, are you sure that I should-”“Yes,” answered Master Wade without hesitation. “Harlyn hasn’t heard you play in years. I want everyone to hear your talent.” “Well in that case I…I’d be honored, sir.” “Good.” he smiled. “I asked the woman at the boutique to pick something out befitting a mystery-clad cellist.” he joked. “I hope you like it,” he smiled and departed.After he closed the door

Ares:The sun gave way to the beautiful moon rather quickly as I spent the remainder of my time before Senhorita Harlyn’s celebration patrolling the borders of Shadow Veil. To be honest, the last thing that I wanted to do was attend some kid’s coming-of-age gathering, but it was the courteous thing to do.I hardly put any effort into my outfit as it was not something that was of enough importance to do so. Still, I at least bothered to put on a suit and jacket…well, technically, Zevi guilted me into putting on a jacket. Sometimes, I had forgotten that he was older than I. It was at moments such as this that he reminded me that while I was his Alpha, he still was my big brother.No, we weren’t related by blood but we might as well have been. We were brought up, raised, and trained together as childre

I had forgotten how well this Alpha knew me as we stood there conversing, and admittedly it was amusing. “You should have known that you could not get anything past the old Alpha.” Bain cackled in the back of my mind while we thought about how he practically read us like a book.“You are right, senhor. In truth, if not for my beta I probably would not have been here.”“Somehow, I sense that there are other motives that served as an incentive for your presence, young Alpha.” Again, the Alpha read me like a book and I would not even bother insulting his intelligence by lying to him.“I did hear that there would be…a performance of sorts.”“Of course you did.” He muttered with a small frown upon his brow.I chuckled at his subtle change in demeanor. “I am intrigued to know what this performance will entail.” “Of course you are.” He answered shortly once again. I could tell that he was impatiently bothered by my confessed interest. I wasn’t upset by his visible frustration as I would ha

Valene: “You were…amazing out there, Val!” Herry exclaimed as he touched my shoulder. I placed my Cello down on the table and took a deep breath. “You think so?” I asked. I always carried doubt about a performance. “Oh, you know that you were amazing! Did you see that applause?” “I did,” I replied, though I didn’t have the heart to tell him that the applause may have been out of respect for my Master and his daughter instead of my talent. “You did good, kid.” he smiled and started to leave. “Hey, Herry?” I stopped him. “Yeah?” “You have nothing to worry about...ya know…

Tobias along with Harold was standing at the front entrance along with their Keepers. I knew then that play time was over. Immediately guilt took over as I realized that my Keeper must have been waiting for me while I was in the back entertaining another Keeper.Quickly, I shook the thought away but not the guilt as I followed behind them. “Where have you been?” Tobias asked as we emerged through the doors and outside.I started to part my lips and answer when I thought better of it. Not like our conversation would be just between the two of us anyway. “I was in the back…inspecting the damage,” I said instead.“Damage?”“My bow,&rd
