Chapter 34

why do we have to be in our territory before you tell us about what you discussed with them. Matthew asks as soon as they got to the vampire council official building and why here instead of your place.

Gwen noticed Vince mood and knew that Vince was planning something so she shifted away from him and dragged Ashley with her, this was going to be epic and she didnt want either her or her best friend to be in the middle of a primordial fight, they were nothing but fledglings that could be mistakenly killed in an angry moment.

because the matter concerns us not them. Vince replied.

and what was the edict. Caleb asks.

dont worry about it, I will take care of it. In fact, Matthew, I need you to step down a little bit so that I show myself to the world and make everybody know me. Vince said as Jake and Jessica looked at Vince. They know that will never happen, Vince was unto something.

and why do I have to be the one to step down. Matthew asks as Elijah nodded at that too.

“Elijah is the public face and people know you because you take care of the official documents and I need your position not his. Vince said as Matthew narrowed his eyes.

I feel that this is all bull crap, you want me out of the position and start implementing things that you should share with us. Matthew rages.

point of corrections, I dont have to share anything with you because I dont have to, besides you should be relieve, take that vacation you have been hammering about. Vince said and turned away.

why are you keeping the news from us. Matthew yells in anger.

because you cannot do anything to make the situation better and you have been nothing but useless, making a mess of your documents and accumulating your wealth. Vince said with a raised eyebrow.

and that is not your business. Matthew said as the rest turned to him.

you are right, that is beneath my notice but then I saw that when I found out about the way you sold us out. Vince said as everyone froze.

sold us out. Courtney asks

yes, I saw the secret roll of payment you made when I searched your office, you made it so easy to know that you were responsible. Vince said as Matthew pales.

I have no idea what you are saying. Matthew lies as they all turned to him and took a step closer.

you were always a bad liar, you sold us out. Elijah said in shock as he realized that they had a traitor and the traitor was his dear friend.

I did nothing of such Matthew said.

“Jessica, who did you tell where you were going. Vince asks.

“Matthew, I saw him on my way out. Jessica stammers looking shell shocked.

you bastard, we trusted you. Caleb said as he moved to attack Matthew but Matthew disappears and appeared close to Gwen and threw Ashley to the wall.

“Ashley. Courtney screams as she rushed to her mate and tried to give him blood.

Matthew dragged Gwen to himself as he squeezed her throat make a move towards me and I will remove her head.

you are bluffing. Jake said as he tried to take a step but Gwen released a sharp cry.

“I am sure she wont recover from beheading so try me and lose her life. Matthew said as Gwen went limp in his hands.

what do you want. Vince asks as he cursed himself six ways to Sunday, how could he forget that his mate was in the room with a traitor he wanted to capture.

remove the ward around this building so that I can leave. Matthew said as Jessica released a growl of annoyance.

be reasonable, we cant do that. Jessica said

then I suggest that you start planning my torture and the death of your sister in-law. Matthew said as they heard a crack of one of Gwens neck bone.

okay, okay. We will. Elijah said as he took out his phone and called someone to take down the ward around the building and then Matthew threw Gwen on the floor as he disappears.

Vince caught Gwen but still when her neck flopped back almost as if detached he nearly went insane. she still has a heartbeat, it is tiny but it will do. Give her your blood while I will stitch her neck. He heard his sister saying.

She is alive, his brain kicked in at that as he hurry and bit his skin to give her blood and when the hole closed, he kept on bit and forcing as much blood as he could into Gwen mouth while Jessica quickly sew her neck and tried to reduce the blood leaving her body.

After a while, Gwen took in a deep breath and opened her eyes, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
