Chapter 37
As it was getting darker that night, I had done another sweep of the perimeter but the triplets came with me this time.
I told them what to look for. The stuff that I looked for that didn't belong to wolves. Stuff that
would indicate that a different species was hanging around.
They actually seemed to like learning about all of this stuff that I was teaching them. They remind me of what I was like when I first shifted and Ava told me that I was a whole bunch of species.
I had to learn to control my powers. They just had to learn about those species and make sure
that they knew what they were dealing with.
When we got back to my place it was after dark and as soon as I walked inside and turned the light on, Koda grabbed me around the waist and all three of them jumped in front of me as they saw a man standing in the middle of my living
room.
"Would you relax? He's not going to hurt me." I said, pushing forward between them.
"I see you lot are growing closer." Logan said.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, sitting at the table and taking my shoes off.
"I was worried about you. I haven't seen you for a while."
"Really? Are you worried because I've chosen to live in a werewolf pack and not with vampires? Or are you worried because it's harder for you to spy on me now?" "You know that I have always cared about you. You just said it yourself, I would never hurt you.
"He said.
"Then stop skulking around like this. Let me know that you're coming to my house instead of just breaking in. How the f**k did you get in anyway?" I asked. "Well, I had a little help." He said.
"Tell Scarlett that I am going to kick her ass when I see her next. Just because she's a witch doesn't give her the right to give vampires permission to enter my f*****g house." I snapped.
"Don't be mad at her. I had to make sure that you were alright."
"Logan. I'm fine. But that's not why you're really here. So spill it or I'll find out my way." I threatened him.
"I heard that some vampires are on the move. Headed this way. They're cutting through
1/4
Canada. It's not clear what their intention is but they are leaving a lot of bodies behind them." He said. "Are
you sure that they're vampires and not animal attacks?"
"You know that we can make them look like animal attacks. They're not even trying to hide it."
"That doesn't make any sense. Why would they want us to know that they're coming?" I asked, confused.
"That's what I'm gonna find out. I need to make sure that you don't do anything stupid while I'm gone."
"Logan. I've been taking care of myself just fine without you in my life. I don't need you walking back in and telling me what to do. If they get too close to this pack then we will attack. We will defend." I insisted. "Alright. Well, I'm heading towards them now and I'll see what I can find out. Be careful." He said looking at the triplets before he walked out the front door.
"Does this mean that it's started?" Dean asked.
"No. I don't think this means anything. Yeah, they are headed this way. But mature vampires know better than to leave bodies laying around like that." I said, standing up.
I was thinking about it and everything that Logan said. I was trying to think of vampire behavior and that is completely out of the ordinary.
"But new vampires aren't disciplined." I said.
"What are you talking about?" Koda asked.
"New vampires don't know to stay under the radar. They are driven by their blood lust. They
don't know how to cover their tracks, they don't know how to control themselves. It takes years
for them to develop that sort of discipline."
"What are you trying to say?" Tyler asked.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"I think someone has created all of these vampires and now they can't control them. They've sent them this way, probably telling them that they will be rewarded if they kill you. And whoever created them is just letting them go." I said. "How is this going to be contained?" Dean asked.
"The Vampire council will step in if it gets too bad. They do not want their existence known to humans. I'll be surprised if they even make it this far." I said.
I walked over to the bookshelf that was built into the wall in the living room and I started
2/4
looking at the numerous books that I've already collected.
I grabbed the one that I was looking for and I took it to the table.
It said 'THE VAMPIRE COUNCIL' on the front of it.
"This is the history of the council. They've been documenting everything ever since they were created." I explained.
"And they publish books?" Tyler asked, skeptically.
"Of course not. I stole it." I said casually, opening the book and starting to look through it.
I opened it to just past half way where I found where the current council members are listed.
They've lost some council members along the way. Either through battle or that member did something wrong that was punishable by death. They are pretty strict about their rules. And no one is exempt from those rules. Not even the council members.
"That's Alexander. He's the longest serving member of the council. He's personally executed four council members over the years because they broke the rules of the vampire society." I explained, pointing out a picture of him. Which was really more of a painting because it was done so long ago. Before camera's even existed.
"And what happens if he gets involved?" Koda asked.
"He'll order all of them to die. But that's not what worries me. If he comes to Canada or Alaska
then he might want to stop in here."
"Dad would never allow a vampire to just show up. Not like Logan does." Tyler said.
"Alexander won't wait for an invitation. And he won't come here looking to make friends." I said.
They all looked at me worriedly and we all knew that we needed to take this information to
their father. But I wasn't sure how Grayson was going to react.
I didn't really want him sending wolves after the vampire army that was coming. But I also didn't want Alexander to show up here. He's one of them who wants the triplets dead. And that
asshole is wicked strong.
There's a reason why he's feared, even among his own kind.
He's not one to give second chances, he doesn't show mercy and he doesn't stop once he's
decided that someone is marked for death.
I didn't know what the hell I was going to do about this.

Logan said that he was going to go and check it out. And I know that he won't do anything to
hurt me.
But I also know that he will try and protect me before he even considers the triplets. He
doesn't care about them at all. He just wants to get me out of here.
He's been thinking that ever since he arrived here.
He hates that I'm here and he's been trying to figure out a way to get me back to California. Knowing that he has to find the right way to persuade me because I was trained to protect the triplets and I won't just leave them open to attack. Nothing was going to work in their favor here. So I needed to come up with something to stop this army. I needed to get them to change directions or something. But I didn't know how the hell I was going to do that.
So the guys decided that we just had to go and tell their father. And I told them to go on without me. I had some more research to do.
They all looked hesitant, but they finally left and I started going through the rest of the books on my bookshelf.
