Chapter 19
"Genevieve, this is Gavril Thorne. King of the vampires and your father." Alyssa introduced the man as he walked up the driveway towards them. He didn't appear too thrilled. But if the story is true about how they share the same anger, he was pissed.
Everyone around her bowed their heads as he reached the group."Someone explain to me what happened here." His eyes scanned over everyone except her. Why ignore her? None of them were in the car. How would any of them have a clue?Silent as they all glanced at one another. Struggling to find an answer where they aren't pointing fingers at his daughter to his face."I left. Called a cab, climbed out a window, and left. I have no desire to be a part of this in any way and I am sick of everyone else deciding what I am doing or what I am allowed to know. The cab driver tried to kidnap me."
Cassandra Bennettit would really really help me out if everyone could vote and let me know what you think of the story so far. I appreciate everyone reading!

Ambrose and Gavril stared at one another in silence as the King processed the information he has been given. Yesterday she woke up an only child, now she had two brothers?"You're lying. Saoirse would have told me if our son was still alive.""She would have if she had been made aware. Marius ordered me to take him to one of the witch hunters who would dispose of him. Instead, I hid him somewhere he wouldn't be found. My promise to protect your children wasn'tjustfor the twins.""Alexander, come in here, now," Gavril bellowed towards the kitchen. "I want you to tell me if he is lying. Go ahead, tell him what you told us.""Their firstborn child is still alive."The teacher's eyes doubled in size as he listened to the words. Looking back and forth between the two of them. He wasn't lying, she could tell."Not a lie. You mean he has been a

"Sir, I can assure you my behavior is the stress getting to me today. I am more than capable of doing this job. This won't happen again.""That is not a decision for you to make."A bright white light appeared between the two, cutting off the discussion. A seemingly young woman with pure white hair became visible as the light dimmed around her. Slight hint of annoyance in her eyes.Everyone in the room except Saber and the man he believe to be his father bowed. He may have been imagining things, but for a brief moment, he thought he caught anger in her eyes when she realized the two of them didn't bow."Why are you here, Gavril? I told you to wait until the ceremony tonight to speak to the children."The woman glanced at Saber. Must be talking about the party. Didn't remember them saying anything about any ceremony though."Clearly I am getting updates faster than you are. Genevieve was kidnapped. We believe Marius is

Saber questioned, a little afraid of the answer."Your guess is as good as mine.""Maybe you should be a little more concerned one of The Four got this close to one of the twins, Theo." Davina appeared far less bored than her stepbrother."Hey, I am concerned. But my focus is supposed to be on protecting Saber,

Genevieve's POVThe last thing Genevieve remembered was being loaded up into an ambulance. Between hitting her head in the car crash and going through a table, she was surprised she had stayed awake as long as she did.The room was quiet except for the beeping of the heart monitor. Her head was throbbing and moving any part of her bodyfeltlike a bad decision. The light stung her eyes as she attempted to open them."Gen, honey, don't try to sit up.""Dad?""Yeah. Mom ran out to grab us something to eat. You passed out on the way to the hospital. Had to take you back to surgery because they couldn't stop the bleeding. Lost a lot of blood but the doctors made sure you were all stitched up. More worried about the blow you took to the head.""Everything hurts. What time is

Saber's POVAfter driving for almost an hour, they finally pull into the parking garage of a small office building. A little underwhelming. Although Saber was aware the Constellation was both secret and underground, part of him expected something a bit more interesting."This is one of several entrances. The New York base spreads underneath most of the state as well as part of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Try not to draw too much attention to any of them."Gavril made no attempt to leave the vehicle as the security guards got out."Anytime higher-up personnel enter or exit a checkpoint, security does a sweep of the area. Making sure they weren't followed or someone isn't waiting for them when they return. We wait until they give the all-clear before heading in.""Makes sense."One of the guards waved to the driver to let them out.The inside of the building was less remarkable than the outside. Everyone was dresse

Gavril motioned to the guards, and they pushed open the enormous set of ornately carved wooden doors. Beyond the threshold was a beautiful, lush forest. Sun shone down through the trees, birds were chirping, and a breeze blew into the room a faint floral scent he didn't recognize.Never in his life had he been proven so wrong so quickly."Yeah, I think we fixed your nature dilemma."Saber nodded, following them out of the white room towards a horse-drawn carriage. His attention is stolen by everything as he struggled to comprehend how everything was real, and he hadn't fallen asleep."Saber, over here." Gavril waved from behind him. Distracted so easily by his new surroundings, he hadn't realized he walked right past the carriage."You will have the rest of your life to wander in these woods. Right now, we have an important meeting to call. Remember?""Right, sorry. I

Ambrose's POVAmbrose had no idea what would be waiting for him as he pulled up to the compound. Sure his family wouldn't harm him, but he was unable to say the same about Marius. Unsure if his siblings would be around to stop the man if he did try something.Walking in, the house was eerily quiet. Wasn't even noon yet, more activity should be going on around the place. Figuring out some kind of lie to explain why he was here, he found his way to Marius's office. Slightly surprised, when he knocked on the door and the man answered."What are you doing here? You are to be finding out what the girl has learned this weekend.""She was in an accident this morning, and they took her to the hospital. Probably staying overnight. Where is everyone?""The Collective wanted to borrow some people for a rather large nest they found. Therefore, half of them are off training with whoever needed the help. The rest are either out on assignments

Saber's POVAfter Gavril had introduced him to everyone, they had sat around for almost forty-five minutes waiting for this Alucard guy to show up. So they decided to start the meeting without him and catch him up whenever he arrived."Your eldest son having been working outside of the Constellation and the Alliance, there could be a chance he made connections with the shadow dwellers." Ronin, one of the council members pointed out."An equal chance he hasn't met anyone outside of Ambrose who has any knowledge about our world,"Noxcountered."If I may interject,"
