Chapter 310: The Vow

Lennox’s POV

Lord Frederick?

What the hell was he doing here?

The last time I saw him was years ago, during Great-Grandmother Hailee’s last birthday celebration. I still remember that night vividly. My brothers and I were young then, and she had introduced him to us with a proud smile.

"This is my friend, Lord Frederick," she had said warmly.

Even back then, I knew exactly what he was—a vampire. And from the moment I caught his scent, cold and metallic like winter blood, I didn’t like him. There was something about the way he looked at people... calm, polite, but calculated. Like he was always two steps ahead, already deciding how you fit into his plans. And even though Great-Grandmother trusted him, I could never shake the feeling that there was more to him than he let on.

As if my anticipation were right, just a few hours after she introduced us to him, I saw her having a heated disagreement with him that caused Great-Grandfather Nathan to send him away. Ever since then, we haven’t spoken to him, and our paths haven’t crossed—although I saw him at Olivia’s welcome party. We only exchanged looks but never talked.

Now he was here, at my borders, asking to enter my pack.

And claiming he had something important to tell me?

I didn’t believe for a second that it was just a casual visit.

"Let him in," I said to the guards.

I rose from my chair, mind-linking Levi and Louis immediately. "Meet me in the visitors’ room. Lord Frederick is here."

Louis’ response came first, sharp and laced with irritation. "Lord Frederick? What the hell does he want?"

"We’re about to find out," I muttered through the link.
