Chapter 31HadleyAttempting to sneak back into the lounge was a resounding failure. Everyone gave us knowing glances and after passing the mirror above the console table I knew why. My cheeks were flushed and my hair a bit messy. From my rose cheeks, erased lipstick and the fact that Cain and I had been all alone, it was pretty obvious what went on.Everyone chatted till late at night and I have to say, it was the most fun I had in a long time. It was a wonderful feeling being so accepted, feeling so normal. I couldn’t help but look over at Cain the entire night, he was all I could see.Everyone went home leaving Zylith, Cain and I alone in the mansion. Zylith went off to take a shower and get ready for bed. I walked over to Cain in the hall after Zylith left and in an act of bravery, I cautiously embraced him in a hug.He seemed surprised at first but very quickly relaxed into my embrace and wrapped me up in his arms. It was warm, he smelt nice and I don’t recall ever feeling so saf

Chapter 32 Hadley That night we couldn’t sleep, we probably needed the rest but my stomach wouldn’t allow it, doing constant flips and I considered not going a few times. We dressed warmly and prepared ourselves for the trip as best we could. We dressed warmly and rummaged the closet for any comfortable walking shoes. Zylith still had the boots they gave her for searching with the patrol. It was around 2 am when the call manifested in sound and light leading from my bedroom all the way into the woods. “Are you sure we will be safe?” I asked one last time and Zylith promised it would be fine. I wrote a small note for Cain, telling him that we were leaving to do something only we could and that we would be back. At the end, I put a small sorry and signed my name. I have to say the glowing trail did make things a great deal easier. We sneaked into the hall and saw a different path from before leading to a section of the mansion we had not been. I told Zylith about the path, the cal

Chapter 33 Hadley What caught my attention most was his burning red eyes in the dark. The sight terrified me to the bone. This was different from the wolfs, they had a sense of warning and intimidation to them but from this man I only sensed death. “Alucard. It’s me, Zylith.” Zylith said in a strained voice before dropping to the floor in a heap. “The little human?” His voice was smooth and emotionless, with an elegant English accent. Old vampire dude with an English accent, doesn’t that just sound right? I didn’t miss how both Cain and him called us little humans. We are not little these supernatural people are just overgrown. “Yeah you old bastard,” Zylith answered chest heaving. “So why the hell would you go and grab me like that? Scared of a little human girl?” The lights lit up again and his eyes faded to a beautiful brown. His nails pulled back into his fingers and I saw him give her a small smile. The only emotion to show on his face. She through insults at him but he was

Chapter 34 Hadley Alucard raises a brow at my statement and I retreat to my nervous tick and fiddle with my fingers. I hope he doesn’t pick up on the light shake in my body. “I told her that I knew you would want to help us with the information we needed. The rogues don’t leave any scent and seem to disappear after every attack, they kill more people every time.” Zylith informs and that seems to catch his attention. His eyes dim and he straightens, “I would like a bit more detail.” He walks off halting just outside the door, “I will wait for you in my study.” He doesn’t wait for a reply and walks off. Zylith comes over to me taking my shaking hands into her steady ones. “Are you okay?” I quickly nod yes, “He scares me, I didn’t feel this scare with Cain and his people.” Zylith gives me a soft smile. We go to the study after putting on our shoes and a jacket. Alucard is standing with a book in hand but doesn’t glance up, he already knew we were coming. He closes the book with a l
