"Trying to pass a message? What makes you think so?" Ramsey asked.

"My gut feeling and the fact that these killings are not as random as we want to think they are. Based on my findings, they are specifically targeted at families. Not one of the victims was a random person or individual. It's always families."

"I agree with you that the attack pattern is consistent, but it couldn't have been werewolves or any supernatural creatures. There are strict laws guiding us. We cannot attack humans even if we want to. And just like my wife said, the signature is wrong. It's too controlled for a natural werewolf, but too savage for a Lycan."

"What about a hybrid?" Delia suggested. "Someone who's part werewolf but also something else?"

I felt Nymeris stir uneasily at the suggestion. "What makes you think of hybrids?"

"Just curiosity," Delia said with that same practised smile. "I've read accounts of various supernatural creatures interbreeding throughout history. The offspring tend to have... unusual characteristics."

"Those are largely myths and folklore," Kyren said, joining our conversation. "True supernatural hybrids are extremely rare and usually don't survive to adulthood."

"Usually," Delia repeated thoughtfully. "But not always."

Something about the way she said it made me uncomfortable.

After we returned home with promises of a follow-up meeting the next day, I found myself trying to bring up Delia in a conversation with Ramsey.

We were in our bedroom, both of us changing out of our clothes from the police station visit, and I was attempting to bring up my concerns about Delia without sounding paranoid or overly suspicious.

"So," I said carefully, pulling on a comfortable sweater, "what did you think of Delia?"

Ramsey paused in unbuttoning his shirt, looking at me. "You mean Dr. Delia Pier?"

"Yes. She seemed very... interested in our investigation."

"That's one way to put it," Ramsey said dryly. "What's your real question, Lyla?"
