Chapter 299

EMILY

The presence of the vampires is somehow alluring and horrifying all at the same time.

I’m both terrified and intrigued.

But I’m also worried about how they looked at me when I walked in with Axel just now.

Is it somehow possible they can sense my secret?

Can they tell I’m not fully a wolf any longer?

That I’m a freak and a monster instead?

There are questions I wish I could ask them.

But the vampire would probably be more likely to kill me than answer my questions. I’m not sure there is anyone I can trust, I’d thought I could trust my brother, but he isn’t the same.

Nothing is the same as I remember it.

Aaron projects the full power of his Alpha strength, commanding the bloodsuckers to get the hell out of his house, and this time they listen.

Aaron’s tone.

I’ve never heard any Alpha command power like that before.

It even seems to give the vampires pause, and I doubt they’ve ever come across a wolf that might be an actual threat to them before.

Aaron walks to the door after the vampires, and slams it closed when they’re gone.

He pauses and takes a breath, as if gathering himself, and then spins to face us, stalking across the foyer until he reaches where we’re standing just near Leah, who is leaning against the wall looking pale.

Ethan starts crying, and Aaron takes him, trying to calm his son.

“What the hell was that?” Aaron demands, looking suspiciously at Axel.

“What was what?” Axel asks dispassionately in return, obviously not as affected by Aaron’s scary Alpha tone.

“The way the vampires reacted when you walked in just now,” Aaron says, eyes narrowing. “Do you know them?”

“I ain’t ever seen those vampires in my life,” Axel responds, and somehow, I know he’s telling the truth.

Maybe just not the whole truth.
