Chapter 401 - 401: Seduction and sirens...

Charis

I stared at Kyren, my mind reeling from his revelation about Delia's intentions.

There were so many shocking pieces of information to process that I didn't know where to start. The fact that he knew Delia was a half-breed, or the part where he casually mentioned that she wanted to sleep with Ramsey.

I decided to tackle her half-breed status first, and also because I didn't want to sound like a jealous housewife.

"Half-breed?" I repeated with surprise. "I should have known. I didn't pick up any scent from her at all."

Kyren nodded, taking another piece of steak into his mouth calmly. "Yeah, she did an excellent job of hiding it, but I'm a Lycan and a spiritual one at that. I should be able to detect these things. Also, she's not a werewolf like you might assume."

"What do you mean?"

"She's actually a half-bred Lycan and Siren, hence her seductive nature and her ability to manipulate people's desires. Neither of her parents is human."

My jaw fell open. "You're serious?"

"Very," he said, staring at me with a deadpan expression. "I know it's a sensitive topic, the situation she got into, and I believe her, no doubt, but the only reason she dresses like that is because of her nature. Sirens are natural seducers."

"Woah. You seem like you've figured everything out about her. If you knew this much, then what was the point of bringing me along?"

Kyren leaned against the kitchen counter, his expression growing more serious. "Because it's not Delia we're primarily worried about, remember? It's the creatures that are actually doing the attacks. I cannot identify them through normal means, and neither can the other council members. We can't even definitively tell if they're supernatural entities, but your wolf can sense things we cannot. That's exactly what she did today at the crime scene."

He paused, studying my face. "We're hoping to put an identity to whatever is responsible for these killings soon so we know exactly what we're dealing with and how to stop it."

I was too stunned to continue eating. My appetite had died completely. I sat there in silence for a moment, trying to process everything, until a thought crossed my mind and I turned to him again.

"Shouldn't we do something about her? If she's this dangerous half-breed with ulterior motives, why are we letting her stay close to the investigation?"

Kyren shook his head. "She doesn't pose any significant risk to us at this point. Whispering Pine is filled with more Werecreatures than I have ever seen, and since Sirens aren't part of the Hollow Kin community, we cannot take action until there's a need to."
