Chapter 289: Preparing for a fight (2)

"I must go to Camilla and then find my sons to take them to my home. I must also inform the Blackthorns," Orlork said as he followed Xavier out of the dungeon. "I will meet with you when I am done."

"Say with Camilla and the others if you need to," Xavier replied. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

"They will be safe in my home. I cannot leave you to fight this battle alone when demons might be involved. Zephyr might use this chance to go after the men in the court. One of us should be nearby to help him," said Orlork.

There was so much to do within so little time.

"Instead of returning to my side, go to Zephyr’s side. You know better how to get around the palace. I can’t have something happen to Selene’s grandfather before they get a chance to reunite. I will send for help if I need it," said Xaver.

Orlork was still reluctant to leave Xavier alone. It was not only Darius whom Xavier might have to fight, but humans who would be fighting back, priests, and now demons.

Rather than stand around arguing about who would join Xavier, Orlork decided to leave to get what he needed to deal with out of the way. The sooner he placed his children somewhere safe and helped Zephyr, the sooner he could return to Xavier’s side.

"Lucas!" Xavier called out, stopping Lucas from going in the other direction. "Put the guards on high alert. The estate might be attacked tonight or in the morning. No one is allowed inside without Selene’s permission. You are to be at her side."

Lucas followed Xavier. ’Who will be attacking us?"

"Darius is rounding up humans, and demons might be among us. The humans responsible for the attacks will go after purebloods. I am counting on you to protect her in my absence. Protect her with your life," Xavier said, trusting Lucas.

"Always," Lucas promised. "If you are leaving, I will select a group to go with you."

"Let it be no more than five. I want everyone else here to keep Selene and my mother safe. Move fast to inform the others," Xavier said.

Lucas left Xavier’s side to go to the guards.

In the meantime, Xavier returned to his room to find the holy weapon and to inform Selene of what was happening.

"There will be others using holy weapons. What if you are injured by one and you cannot make it home in time for me to heal you? I know that it is wrong to say, but can’t we stay here to let them fight each other? Then, go at the last moment to kill who remains?" Selene asked.

Selene was concerned about what would happen to the town, but at the same time, Selene cared most about Xavier’s safety.

Even though Xavier carried his own holy weapon, there were others out there who also had holy weapons. The thought of Xavier being outnumbered scared Selene.

"I cannot miss this chance to kill Darius. Our lives will not be peaceful if he lives and succeeds with his plans. Then there is the demon. I need to get rid of it. No more vampires should die because of a demon playing games," Xavier said, sticking to his plans.
