Chapter 5: Mysterious Man

Faith's Pov:

I lock the house up my eyes drawn immediately to the empty dead building across the street, picture this lush green suburban neighborhood perfect, but one house alone looking haunted something children would dare each other to go knock on Halloween night your parents taunting you with the story of if your naughty inside that house the boogeymen will jump out and punish you.

Reminded me of the torture room I saw all those weapons the stench made me gag I shake away the trauma not wanting to relive another day of that horror I had decided to start a new life when I left four days ago from Florida.

I look back up to see the blinds pulled back and a face peering at me looking back into my eyes, Is that...no that can't be him...it's a creepy, peeping Tom that's it and I stuck my middle finger up raising an eyebrow.

From then I was completely fucked obviously I didn't exactly know it yet but I sure was going to find out

I narrowed my eyes huffing turning around and heading down to the cafe where I would begin to work the next day as the co-existing manager.

Alessandro's Pov:

My eyebrows rise she actually gave me the finger, She has class...not I shake my head a little biting my thumb and watching her walk off chuckling to myself, my phone began to ring I pick it up.

"Hey, Dylan how's everything back at the clan?" I questioned

He sucks in a sharp breath "Well they're not happy..." He replied

I shook my head "They know the code this is my mate we are talking about Dylan..." I said in annoyance

"Look I get it when I found Clarissa I went by our code this is different for you and you know it well you're our leader who needs his queen, a queen to help rule the people if your father found out..." He began while trailing off

"He won't find out and anyone who tells him otherwise will have their tongue removed be sure they get the message because I know what his intentions would be, father he would go against the treaty I've created and that is something that could cause a war and a rift between all supernatural creatures, especially the werewolves they will have pure joy in taking us out, there just waking for us to make a mistake" I replied knowingly

Since The Alpha King has made it known that he would gather all packs and bring war on us if the treaty was broken in any way, forcing an innocent into turning or using humans as blood bags it is my job to keep it in check the only thing we supernatural creatures can agree on is we would have no care in killing the hunters that make it there mission to eradicate us, but I don't know as of yet how my beautiful mate is involved in all of this, I would be putting her in danger as soon as the supernatural world found out about her existence making me want to clam up of even approaching her again but I couldn't back out now the clan knows and soon enough he would know.

"Okay well I'll try and keep them tight-lipped, Your father did contact us though he wants you at the palace you know he can't trust Luca with the throne you know this ever since...." He pauses.

I know he was talking about my mother when he continued "There's so much we can do here but...Alessandro...You know you belong in that palace this rebellion will either get you killed or locked up" He said stating facts that I hated

A scowl is planted on my face but I know he's right there is so much I can do here but the reason I took half of the clan with me was because of my rebellious nature, me being the firstborn I was supposed to take my fathers place as the king of the blood isle but I chose not to after my mother passed I wanted to live amongst humans I was curious about them but my father says mixing with humans makes us become like them they make us become weak.

Most of us found our mates this way my father has let me have this rebellion against him I don't agree with his methods in the Isle he kidnaps humans that won't be missed and uses them as blood bags the Alpha King doesn't know I'm very, very tempted to let it loose but at what cost? How would this affect politics and most of all the supernatural world?

"Okay, thank you, Dylan, I owe you one," I said, hanging up

I lean back on the bench drumming my fingers on the hard surface, I look at the time a couple more hours until sunset.

Faith's Pov:

I walk into the cafe seeing the owner Debra waiting to make some coffee for the customers, I line up when I come face to face with her a smile graces her lips as her eyes light up "Faith it's a pleasure to meet you it's so nice to have a new face around these parts, especially in my cafe you'll reel in the customers tomorrow" she said

I chuckle "Yes I guess I will just one small almond caramel latte please" She nods as she continues to make my drink while I think about how that peeping tom had similarities to Alessandro could it be him maybe I should try and find out?
