“The woman in the black dress?”

“Y… Yes. She came to the Masters a while ago, and… she did something to them… They don’t like her… but they have to listen… So they didn’t feed for a very long time, longer than they usually wait… and then, she told them to eat, and they attacked us… but it wasn’t normal, they didn’t control themselves… They killed… killed a lot of us.”

“How did you make it? What about the bodies in the river?”

“We ran, because the woman in the dark dress said to kill us all. So… our masters tried not to, but they still attacked… They were hungry, it wasn’t their fault…”

Moon Goddess, I’m going to be sick if I listen to more of their sick vampire shit. Daniel is a bit green, too, but Nathaniel steps next to me.

“How many vampires are there? Why do they listen to the witch?”

“She made them drink something… I’m not sure, but… The… The woman said she would give them a city, with new humans to eat… But our masters loved us, they loved us, they didn’t want to change. So, the woman got mad, and she gave them this strange water to drink… After that, they couldn’t disobey her, they became crazy… They didn’t want to attack us… Oh, my poor master…”

Sylviana was right. The vampires aren’t doing this of their own volition; she found a way to control them somehow. Moon Goddess, this is sickening enough as it is… Did she tell them to get rid of their humans so they would have no choice but to attack us? To get the ones in Silver City?

“How many? How many vampires are out there?” asks Nathaniel, angry.

The woman suddenly spits in his direction.

“Thousands! Thousands of our masters will gather and attack you! And get rid of you, dirty dogs! My master will come and find me!”

Chapter 35

“Babe, calm down.”

“I am not calming down!” I yell. “That crazy bitch won’t insult my man or my people here!”

I can’t believe he stopped me! What does it matter if we keep that wretched thing alive? She’s a total vamp junkie anyway! There is no coming back from that! But Nathaniel keeps getting in my way, trying to calm me down in the hospital corridor as Damian walks in.

“She is crazy, Selena, vampire slaves turn like that and you know it, alright. Let Damian handle it, okay?”

“You might want to take that back,” says Liam, suddenly coming out of the room. “He lost it and killed her when she started threatening everyone.”

Nathaniel rolls his eyes.

“Damn it.”

“That’s the Alpha temper for you,” sighs Liam. “Anyway, Sylviana is still with the bodies we didn’t burn, but I think this is bad. If what that crazy woman said is true…”

I know. She mentioned thousands of vampires. We don’t have enough people to push away thousands of vampires. I hope she lied or exaggerated greatly, or else this is going to be a bloodbath.

“Sylviana says the timing is not good. If she let the vampires lose control like that and feed now, it means she felt Nora’s power is changing.”

“She will give birth soon,” I grumble.

I take a deep breath and walk outside. I need a moment. A moment alone with my cousin. I can feel it, the tension in the air building up. It’s coming anytime now.

“Nora?”

“Selena, everything alright? Damian is on his way there.”

I use our mind-link to tell her everything, wondering why Damian didn’t tell her yet. As usual, he probably tried to spare Nora as much as he could. He’s as overprotective as ever with his mate. I can’t blame him, but Nora is strong, the only Luna I could rival with. When I’m done, she doesn’t seem shocked or scared.

“I see. Sylviana is probably right. I can feel my baby moving more than ever, I’m supposed to give birth within the next thirty days.”

“Nora, I’m going to stay here with the White Moon.”

“I understand.”
