Chapter 212
BEATRICE
Master? The only person she knew with Master as part of their name was Edyth. Oh. OH. That’s why the old woman looked familiar – she’d been the playing cards with the Master vampire. Fan-fucking-tastic. Not only had Beatrice been forced to deal with her mom, now there was this shit.
And the day had been going so well.
“Good for you,” Beatrice sighed. “Just get to the point. I’ve already dealt with one psycho bitch today and don’t have the energy for whatever this,” sh motioned towards the old woman, “is.”
A frown crossed the woman’s face as she pursed her lips into a thin line. Seems she didn’t like it being insinuated that her Master was a psycho bitch. bad, because that was the best way to describe Edyth.
Riaghaire moved to better stand between the two women. “Deliver your message and leave,” he ordered.
The old woman’s frown turned into a scowl as she pursed her lips even harder. “Very well. She wants to inform you that, though you may have won the battle, the war is far from over. One day she will be back and you will suffer for what you’ve done.”
“Well that’s too bad,” Beatrice sighed, earning a look from both vampires. “You see, though I’m no longer some idiot’s mate, I’ve recently been adopted the Mchezaji wolf pack; whatever the Master Bitch wants to do to me will need to be approved by Alpha Donovan or there will be hell to pay. Be a dear let her know any future messages she might want to send my way needs his approval. M’kay? Thanks. Bye bye.”
– the perte Beatrice slammed the door in the old woman’s shocked face, feeling relatively pleased with herself for how she’d handled the situation. Dumping her s on Donovan was going to be fun, and it meant she was less apt to say something stupid to make any given situation worse. It was a win-win
plan.
Claire was cackling as she made her way towards the kitchen. “Alpha Donovan is gonna love this.”
“Well, you know, he’s the one that fucked up our attempt to kill the bitch Beatrice countered as she followed Claire into the kitchen, the camper or behind. “Besides, they had a kind of… cease fire, stalemate thing going for who knows how long. There’s a good chance Edyth won t was to do xciting me if it means fucking with the pack, especially if Riaghaire is around to help.”
“I must agree with gréine,” Riaghaire nodded. “Even with the aid of the wolves and her fledglings, Master Edyth was unable to best The

Word on the street is she hasn’t. Turned anyone in a while,” Claire offered. “Then again, she could have done it without anyone knowing. It’s a big city people go missing every day.”
“How long do you think it’ll take to eplenish her numbers?,” Beatrice asked. She hoped it would take the Master vampire years, which meant she could in relative peace until then. The longer it took, the better.
“That would depend on the Master,” Riaghaire replied, speaking slowly, as if he were half in thought. “Realistically, it should take months to both Turn a settle a Fledgling, however… with the appropriate resources, she could Turn many humans in the course of a single night. Whether she could control so many fresh Fledglings at once… It would be foolish of her to take such a risk given her current circumstances.”
“Her circumstances being… that she’s weaker than usual, because she now lacks numbers?,” ventured Beatrice as she leaned against the counter. “With y here and the Bluemoon wolves joining the Mchezaji pack… yeah, I can see her feeling the need to play it safe.”
“If Alpha Donovan was smart, he would take advantage of this opportunity to drive her from his territory,” Riaghaire continued with a shrug.

at least that’s what Avery said. He needs to
“Wouldn’t that involve coming for Riaghaire though? He’s probably the one who, you know, killed all of them. Oh… then again, Donovan did agree to a d
slate.”
“Yep. Which means they will go after the bitch who must have mesmered his wolves into cooperating with vampires,” the blond grinned as she gave the sizzling pan a poke, not wanting to burn the stir fry.
“Is that what actually happened?” Beatrice asked as she watched her friend cook. “They were mesmered?”
