Chapter 35

Vince was using a rag to clean the blood off Gwen neck who has slept off being too weak and injured to be awake when he gritted his teeth in anger. He was done treating this with care. He doesnt care if he has to tear the whole world apart to take care of this nuisance but he will if it means that Gwen will never feel what she felt today, he was going to protect her with everything he has.

He could not believe that Matthew will do that to a vampire mate, it seemed as if Matthew no longer exists, that all he has been portraying has been nothing but a facade. Not he has.

you need to calm down, you have been tense ever since Matthew held her hostage. She is safe now. Jessica said as she sat close to her brother watching Gwen but spoke softly so that her voice will not disturb the girl who had a fitful sleep.

she will never be safe until I have eradicated Matthew and his likes from existence.

still you need to calm down and go about this with a level head Jessica started but Vince snorts made her pause.

I have been going about this with a level head since the beginning and look at where it got me. It almost got my mate killed. I am done with being levelheaded, I am done thinking like I am sane, I am going to fight back with everything I have got.

and how do you plan on doing that, you dont even know anything about the organization. Courtney asks from behind Vince.

Vince turned to see that the rest of the primordials were behind him. please I am not stupid, I made sure that I checked through Matthew deepest secrets and invaded his privacy before I let him knew that I knew what he was doing.

and speaking of that issue, I suggest that we leave here so as not to disturb your mate while we talk about what just happened. Jake said with his eyebrows raised at Vince who raised his own too in replying to Jake suggestion.

exactly, my mate was almost killed and you expect that I will leave.

Courtney mate will be with her, we need to talk. Elijah added in case you didnt notice we have a crisis now.

I cannot let her out of my sight. Vince said in a tone that says that he will not change his stance on the issue.

fine, then dont. we will be in the other end of this room. Caleb replied as Vince thought about it then nodded his head in agreement and moved towards the opposite side of the room.

good, now tell us what possessed you to do something that risky and not tell us in advance that you were doing that. there were other ways to go about it and those other ways would have had Matthew in our custody now. Elijah growled and when Gwen released a small sound, they all turned to look at her. sorry. Elijah told Vince who nodded.

I get you are angry, that you are all angry and for that I apologize but I was not really thinking straight, my mate had been attacked. I had to do something and I really couldnt call you all aside and start telling you about him. He would have suspected. Vince explained.

okay I get the reason why you did what you did but still do you mean what you said about taking Matthew place? Jessica asks

of course he means it, who else will take his place. Caleb asks

and no, Vince cannot take his place, the position is too public and his role and my role in the council is too sensitive for the limelight. Courtney said.

then who Jake asked

certainly not you, we need our spy on other courts and you are already the social butterfly and it has to be that way. Vince said as they all nodded.

well. I cannot be the new person. Jessica started.

actually, I am suggesting that you come out with Caleb and take the mantle of leadership and we think of making our identities public when the public eventually knows because they will. We have not seen the end of Matthew yet. Vince said.

no Caleb and Jessica started at the same time to complain but Vince shook his head. I would have considered it but we are too spread out right now, we need to tighten our fold, everybody has to pitch inincluding you sister.

okay, now that that is out of the way. Cant you really tell us about your meeting with them.

I can, I just said that to make Matthew pissed off and throw him off balance so that he could not defend himself. Vince stated. all we talked about was the traitors in each council and also how we should protect our people by warning them but not telling them everything.

that was all? Jake asked.

yeah, that was all. What were you expecting. Vince asks as Jake shook his head.

and we need to make the vampire world know that one of their council betrayed them. Elijah press conference tomorrow morning and use the medium to introduce the two new face to the people. Then we need to make a statement this evening by raiding his house and taking whatever is of value with us and burning the rest.

those are his life history Jake stated.

I know but for him to betray us and what he helped create, then he does not deserve to have anything on our soil and since we cannot actually call him to take his things away from our land, I suggest we destroy and burn tonight. Vince said.

seconded. Courtney voiced.

what? Jessica asked looking at Courtney.

he threw my mate at a fricking wall, he should be glad I am not on a rampage to kill everything he loves. Courtney said as they all nods.

and the information you have on this organization. Jake asked.

“Courtney and I will take care of it. I dont want to burden you guys so I suggest that you get to doing what you ought to do. Elijah, prepare to put them through, Jessica and Caleb. Learn as much as you can and try to make everything go on smoothly and Jake, you flutter around other supernatural courts and figure out if we will hear any whispering of what to come or who their loyalties are for.

okay, we got it. We will do what we ought to do. Jessica said.

and please be careful. I think Matthew will come at us with everything he got so never let your guard down. Vince said looking at each of them in the eyes. When they nodded Vince released their gaze and turned his to his mate and saw that she was watching him.

Without looking away from her, he walked towards her
