Strings of Fate

141- Wake–up and wittness

“Oh shit Bellamy I’m so sorry. Was the woman a feline Shifter? It was a woman again, right?” I confirm. Bellamy gives a solemn nod.

“Was she someone you knew well?” I ask, almost afraid to hear the answer. Bellamy shrugs.

“I’ve met her, I’ve met most of the local feline Shifters. She didn’t live here in the compound. She has a large family and they run a moving company on the other side of town. They live down that way. I think the last time I saw her would have been Megan’s engagement party, and I don’t think I said more than two words to her.” Bellamy looks guilty. Clearly he is blaming himself for something.

“This isn’t your fault, you know.” I tell him, running a hand over his arm in an attempt to soothe him. Bellamy shakes his head.

“I’m Alpha, so I’m responsible for her safety, even if she doesn’t choose to live here. I should have made sure all women who are the killer’s target type came to the compound, or assigned them guards, or SOMETHING.” He reasons. I shake my head.

“Bellamy you can’t be everywhere at once, and if it wasn’t her, it would have been another woman. The killer is the one to blame. You’re only one person, you can’t take responsibility for the actions of a psychopath killer. Everyone in the city knows there is a serial killer on the loose targeting young women, if she wanted extra protection she could have come and asked.

It’s too late now for you to fix what happened to her.” I remind him gently. He scowls.

“Well I have to do something!” He insists loudly.

“I didn’t say don’t do anything. Send out a message or announcement or whatever offering protection to young women who need it. Obviously if there are too many who need protecting you might need to move them or something, but give them the choice. Tell them what they can do to try and stay safe if they don’t want your help.” I suggest. He seems interested in my

suggestion.

“I’ll have to work out the exact mechanics of it all, but you’re right. I can do those things. It’s also time to call the other Alphas to a meeting again. They weren’t interested because there
