Draven.
As I continued eating my breakfast, I thought of Wanda’s brother, Levi, coming over to Duskmoor.
Their father, Reginald Fellowes, must want some kind of information from them.
I no longer trusted Wanda enough to believe that she would pass my rules and order to her brother. Even if she did pass them to him, I wouldn’t trust that she would make sure he upheld them.
So, I plan to keep him under watch from the time he set his feet upon my land.
My eyes fell on Meredith again and then her plate. She had already eaten half of her food. She seemed to have a great appetite this morning as well.
Immediately after breakfast, Dennis, Jeffery and I left for the training grounds where I directed and engaged then on intense training that left everyone panting for breath within half an hour.
It wasn’t until I called for a little break that Dennis came to meet me.
"Brother, you know, our straights and talents doesn’t match with yours. At least, sure us some mercy," he said and dropped on the chair next to me.
I wiped sweat off my arms with the damp small towel I had picked up from the cooler in front of me.
"The vampires won’t be showing any mercy when they get their hands on any of you," I responded without meeting his gaze.
For a fact, I knew no vampire can easily harm me. I was sure of fighting off one myself. But two, three at a time was something I couldn’t vouch for.
"At this rate, you might as well kill us before the vampires so."
I snapped my gaze to Dennis, watching him picked up an unused towel from the cooler of ice in front of us. Then, he slowly rubbed it off the back of his neck before turning his eyes to him.
"Did I say anything wrong?"
I shook my head and turned my eyes into the distance after disposing the towel in my hands into a stainless bucket by the side.
"It’s better to die by your Alpha’s hands than a wild animal, right? What do you say?" I looked at him.
His brows furrowed in consideration and the next second, he was nodding.
"It’s hard to tell. But surely, having my neck snapped isn’t the way I environed how I would die." Dennis chuckled.
I shook my head and looked away.
I drilled the warriors for another few hours before leaving for the house. I took a cold shower before having lunch and going into my study to make a few important calls before I continued my studies on vampires.
Since that day they appeared, I haven’t slept a night without checking them out.
The more information I stored in my head about them, the more it will lead my team and I properly into the confrontation with them.
The more I knew about them, the more confident I was in training my warriors, and the more we were a step closer to victory.
Dusk began to set and soon, it was getting to dinner time.
I was rounding up my papers when the sleeping Rhovan let out a growl in my head.
"Our mate is causing a ruckus."
"isn’t that part of what she is known for now?" I asked, closing the file in front of me.
I don’t think Meredith would ever be able to get a reaction out of me with any new antics.
"She’s on heat," Rhovan announced, suddenly crippling me.
That wasn’t what I was expecting to hear.
Seeing Meredith all quiet and normal during breakfast earlier today completely put me my attention away from her. I had actually forgotten about her wild pheromones and the fact that her heat would rise to its peak during the full moon tonight.
On another thought, I wished Rhovan hadn’t reminded me about it as never came up with a solution on how I would handle the situation.
That wasn’t what I was studying behind my desk.
"How much trouble is she making?" I wondered why Meredith would be causing a ruckus when she is on heat.
I knew she had anger issues, but I couldn’t see the connection.
"One that could put her life in danger, and everyone’s" Rhovan’s response came in rushed.
He needn’t say more as I was already on my feet.
The last thing I wanted was for Meredith to attract attention to herself while in that ugly state.
I stepped out of my study and hurried down the hallway and after two turns, I started hearing loud noise and the sounds of things breaking.
Instantly, my eyes narrowed as my steps quickened. And I was right on time to see all of Meredith’s maidservants standing outside her door, each which similar expressions on their faces.
Azul, her closest maidservant was teary. Kira, Deidra and the other two all looked weary with their gazes on the tightly shut door.
"What is wrong?" I inquired immediately before arriving in front of them.
