Fighter 79

CHAPTER 79

As soon as we got to Lexie's house which was right next to the packhouse, we walked inside and I looked around carefully for anything that might be out of the ordinary. I've been in this house more recently than the triplets so I might be able to tell if there's

anything that's not right.

I walked to the kitchen and I stopped just inside the doorway.

The triplets walked in behind me and all three of them gasped.

Her mother was lying dead on the ground. There was blood everywhere. She had been

disemboweled, almost decapitated and her face was missing.

"This is what he does?" Koda asked.

"Yeah. And it only takes minutes for him to do it." I said, trying to keep my voice steady. But I

didn't do a very good job of it.

We searched the rest of the house and there was nothing out of place but when I looked out of Lexie's bedroom window I saw prints in the snow below her window. I climbed onto the windowsill and jumped out, landing on my feet on the ground. Followed by

the triplets.

We started following the prints and I heard fabric tearing and snarls coming from behind me.

Suddenly I was surrounded by three huge black wolves but I kept walking, following the tracks.

"There's no scent." Koda said in my mind.

"That's because he's not a werewolf. It looks like it, but he's not." I said.

"How long has he been killing?" Dean asked.

"I don't know. I just know what I was shown. I've known about it for a couple of years. When Owen showed me the photos." I said.

"Owen was your vampire trained?" Koda asked.

"Yeah." I said.

We followed the tracks into the woods and suddenly they disappeared. We stopped when we couldn't see any more tracks and we started looking around. We all went in different directions for a few yards before we went back and met in the same

spot.
