Chapter 19

That meeting strengthen Vince belief of if you want something to be done then you are the only one who could do it.

He wanted to protect his race and he was the only one to do it. No other primordials seemed too worried about it. Even his sister, he knew that she voted with him because she believed him and then no matter what happens, Jessica knew that he would protect her so she give him her support whenever and where ever it was needed.

He had been actively hunting down clues as to why what is happening is happening and he was not getting any closer.

His mind was also not at rest based on the fact that he was lying to his mate and when his mate do catch up with what he is doing. He knew that there will be hell to pay.

The incidents are still inconsistent and getting larger after every attack and the Vampire world is starting to take notice. Soon even if they didn't descend to war with other races, the Vampire community will be reduce to shambles as there will be chaos everywhere which was what he was trying to prevent earlier. His work will end up in shambles and it will turn into dark ages for vampires again and he refused to let that happen.

Still he knew that they other races were faring just as the vampires were. Some shifters has already tried to challenge the alpha king and it ended badly for them. He didn't know about the sorcerers but he knew that Carson was on edge these days and soon, the main race in each of this fractions will be challenged by other races.

The vampires will be challenged by the succubus, they were already gaining much ground and their numbers increasing and although he knew that he could take care of the problem easily, he didn't want to destroy an entire race, he would try to contain them if they get out of hand but if they refuse to listen he would have them killed because his race came first.

The witches will soon be overpowered by the elemental and he knew that Carson could hold his own even though elementals were pretty powerful. Carson had been lenient and the mistake most people made was to think that he had gone soft or old. Carson was a primordial of his race and Vince suspected that he is connected to the elemental race too but everything was vague.

The shifter on the other hand was a different ball game. Wolves rule because they are numerous in number. more than the bears, dragons and panther shifters put together so for the sake of peace. The dragons gave up their right to rule and remain in the shadows living their lives but if they discover the troubles of the shifters, they would want to rule and that will lead to a war which will make the shifter race to be extinct.

Vince signed as he removed his thoughts from the direction it was going. It was time he went home back to his mate but he plan on bathing before joining her in bed because her senses was improving and she will catch the scents that surrounds him which was many and she would want to know how he spent his days. Vince knew that of she asked that he would have to tell her but he plans on keeping her in the dark for a long time.

He teleported to his study only to fall into his table breaking it and causing mayhem and a lot of noise he was sure would wake his mate up and when he looked around his room, he let loose another curse in anger.

His sister was a bad influence on his mate and he could see it in the way Jessica had Gwen doing things she would not consider before. Having a pest in form of his sister in his life was okay but he didn't want to have another but then again, Jessica was training his mate to be the perfect pest. He would have laughed at the creative rearranging of his study if he was in a better mood but it was clear that his mood was sour.

He frowned as he looked around his study taking note of everything when he saw his box opened and his heart thundered at his chest. No. It could be that it was only his sister that took a look inside and not Gwen after all, he made sure that Gwen could not open it.

He felt her before she arrived and when he turned slowly to face her, one look at her face told him that she knew what he had been doing.

" welcome. " Gwen said softly. She had been spitting mad when she learnt of what Vince had been doing and she had gotten so worked up that Jessica escaped to her room so as to leave her presence since she was working up a storm but now looking at her mate with his tired eyes peering at her. She knew that most of her rage earlier was because she wasn't too sure if he was safe and now that she knew he was, her mind had calmed down.

Vince looked at his mate wearily as he nodded his reply and wait for her to raise the subject. He knew that she wouldn't let it go and that he didn't have to wait for long before she would bring up the topic. Her next words confirmed it.

" how was hunting. " Gwen asked trying to keep an edge out of her tone but failing to.

Vince heard the anger but refuse to let it show, she didn't really want a fight since she tried to contain it and so he didn't draw attention to it. " it was okay. "

" we are suppose to be a team. Were you going to tell me that you were hunting all on your own and putting yourself in anger. " Gwen asked with a sad tone.

" you were never suppose to find out. " Vince muttered.

" until something serious happened to you. I was going out of my mind with worry for the past five hours since I knew. " Gwen exploded.

" it is okay, I am going to be fine. "

" I am sure that those were the exact same words that those vampires told their family when they left for work only to be killed. This situation you are actively seeking out danger. " Gwen yells at Vince.

" what do you expect me to do. " Vince yells in anger.

" I want you to stop giving me unrest and I will not rest while you go out to hunt those responsible. " Gwen said silently and it hit Vince more harder than her shout.

He would love to stay with her and let the matter be handled by investigators but he knew that it was hopeless. They won't find anything and his people will continue to die.

" I am sorry but I can't do that. " Vince said quietly as Gwen eyes filled up with tears.

" Vince. " Gwen started.

Vince sighed tiredly. " look Gwen let's go to bed, we will talk tomorrow. " Vince said as he stretch out his hand to Gwen hoping to teleport her to the room. Gwen stared at him for a while before she turned and left without looking back. Vince sighed again as he teleported himself to his room only for quickly fall asleep while he tried to wait for Gwen to come to bed. He had thought that Gwen needed space. What he didn't know was that Gwen was the the sitting room folded in a fetal position and crying her eyes out after blocking her emotions from him.
