Chapter 45

are you being serious. Courtney asks.

definitely. Gwen said with a blanket around her, she still shakes. Jake is even worse than Matthew.

and I trusted him with you. Vince tortured voice dragged her attention to him.

and how would you have known, you might be the most powerful vampire alive but you are not a seer and neither should you hold yourself responsible. Gwen said to Vince who nodded but seemed to still have the weight of the whole world on his shoulders.

so right now you are saying that they are having issues absorbing the vampire crystal, maybe that is why Matthew is always with it. Jessica mused.

how do you know. Caleb asks looking at her suspiciously,

Jessica rolled her eyes then. I can sense the crystal and besides stop looking at me as if I betrayed you and others, I know that I didn't.

that's what Jake said. Elijah added.

my sister cannot do that. Vince announce as Caleb faced him.

just like your best friend couldn't also betray us? he questions.

none other is involved, they were five before but you fished out three and killed them. Gwen said to Vince who sighed.

and here I was thinking that Matthew had something for astrid and that was why he was frozen when I killed the traitors. Vince started again.

Don't beat up yourself for that. Gwen voiced.

I wont Vince promised his mate as he kissed her hair and tucked her into his side.

and they want to break the three major race, we have to involve Carson and Cole. Courtney said as Ashley rubbed her arms.

we will, right now, our priority is to protect werewolves crystal, it is a good thing that only Cole knows where it is so, I am sure that it is still with him. Then we find ways to make someone absorb the crystals while we make sure they are on our side firmly. If the werewolves crystal is absorbed by someone we know then we know we have the higher hand in whatever game they are playing even though we dont know it. Elijah said as the rest of the primordials nodded.

and also, I think that it is time to actively search for your mates. Vince said as the rest look at him.

why? Caleb questions

I think that they would want to have your mates so that they can control you. They are your only weakness, the only beings which you will give up everything for. It is better that they are by your side so that you can protect them rather than them being in a place where others can do whatever they like with your mates. Vince explained.

I never saw it that way. But how will they know. Elijah asks.

they are with the vampires crystal, we should expect anything from them. Vince said with worry evident in his tone as Gwen reached out for him. Vince held his mate hand as he came to the conclusion, yes with his mate close to him, he can do anything to protect her even though it end up being for the good of all or the destruction of everything alive.

+++++++

my king, we want to know what is happening, we demand to know. Taylor said as Cole breathes.

he could blame his nephew for being antsy, but he could blame him for drew actions. He couldn't believe that he made it seem like drew was his heir just so he could protect Taylor and right now, Taylor is making him regret that decision. He needs to shut that boy down.

He couldn't get why Taylor did it, being betrayed by family is never an easy thing to wrap your head around.
