destroy The mags al realm is gone because of them and my frend almost died. Vampires are evil”
He looks out through the window and mumbles 1 gorss which confuses me Shouldn’t he be furious about those monsters having intruded on our territory?
Alpha Xavier doesn’t reply. He stares out the window. His look strange and contemplative, as though he’s mulling over my words. His silence is beginning to unsettle me
“What I begin carefully. Wo you mean I guess?
He takes a deep breath and looks back at me, his green eves now filled with an emotion that I can’t place. It’s not anger nor resentment, but it holds a certam intensity that makes me hold my breath.
“Daisy, he begins in a quiet voice. “the world isn’t black and white. Not all vampires are evil”
I stare at him taken aback by his statement. Is he detending them? Defending those monsters!
“They are not monsters. Dusoc.” he continues as if reading my thoughts. They are just different,”
“But they killed our people! They almost killed Lola My voice echoes against the walls of the hospital room as I fight agamst the urge to sit upright, my heart pounding in my chest. “How can you say they aren’t monsters?”
“There are humans who kill, too” Alpha Xavier responds, the calmness of his voice a stark contrast to my own. There are

“But-
“Don’t listen to him. Daisy” Yato’s voice interrupts before he strides inside the room. There is a mischievous grin on his face as he looks up at Alpha Xavier. “My brother is just sentimental because our childhood friend, Chelsea, was a vampire.”
Alpha Xavier clenches his fist. “Don’t make me regret allowing you to come and see Daisy,” he growls, but Yato doesn’t flinch at his tone
“Or what? You will beat me in front of Daisy Yato shakes his head in disbelief. “You need a freaking chill pill, and please stop feeding nonsense into Daisy’s brain Vampires are evil, and that’s it.”
“Chelsea wasti’t evil”
“She tried to attack you when she was hungry” Yato replies, crossing his arms over his chest. “You wouldn’t even tight back since you thought she could be reasoned with, and the only reason you survived is because I ended up plunging a stake into her heart. That doesn’t sound not evil to me, Xavier.”
“You didn’t have to kill her!”
“And that’s the thanks I get for saving your life…”
“I did right in banishing you after our duel With that mindset, you would have made a terrible Beta””
“Or I could have been the best Beta you’ve ever had!” Yato retorts, his eyes blazing with dehance. “At least I can tell the difference between friend and for!”

“Enough!” I shout, surprising both of them. Their heads turn towards me as silence fills the room. “You two fighting isn’t helping anyone.”
“Daisy is right.” Alpha Xavier murmurs. “I will leave the two of you alone to catch up.”
With a flicker of remorse in his eyes, he turns and strides out of the room, the door closing behind him. I let out a sigh, running a shaky hand through my hair. Yato watches him go, hibrows furrowed in thought.
“Sorry about that. I shouldn’t have fought my brother in front of you. It’s just that our history with vampires is…complicated.”
I shake my head, “No apology necessary.”
