After getting dressed, I hurry outside to follow the rest of the pack into the forest, but that’s when I hear
Alpha Xavier mind- link with me for the very first time. It’s possible now that he is roy Alpha.
“Stay inside. Daisy, he orders me. You can’t shape-shift and shouldn’te outside. I’m calling for
everyone that can fight to hunt down the vampire on our grounds.
Anger courses through my veins even though he is right. I wouldn’t be of help, I know that. Still, it sucks
to be left out of the action.
“I know, Sera soothes me. But putting ourselves in the pack’s way will only make it worse.
“I just hate feeling so useless!”
Sera doesn’t respond, but I can feel her agreeing with me as I walk back inside the hotel. Once the
door closes behind me, a strange scent hits my nose. It’s faint, but I remember what Yato taught me:
concentrate and rx your senses to let your inner wolf through.
My chest expands as I pull in a deep breath. The scent sharpens, and my heart races, Vampire. I can
taste the darkness, the absence of life in their alien smell.
“Seems like the vampire that left the note inside your room didn’t leave, Sera growls.
A silent gasp leaves my mouth. ‘You think it was a vampire that left the note?
It’s the same smell, no?”
“Yes, it is, I agree and feel my heart pound against my ribcage. What does this mean? A vampire was
in my room. A vampire left me those threatening letters,
They most likely know that you’re special and see you as a threat
“Why not just end my life directly?” I ask. I can’t shape-shift-I’m practically defenseless!”
maybe they don’t want you dead?”
I shiver at that but pause when I hear a woman scream. Ites from one of the rooms, which
confuses me. everyone leave with Alpha Xavier?
“Not the ones unable to fight, and that scream sounded a lot like L. She might be in danger.
Didn’t
Fear for L propels me forward, disregarding the vampire’s scent. I might be defenseless but it my
friend is in danger, I cannot stand idle. Sera growls in agreement as we sprint through the deserted
hallways. The hotel feels like a ghost town, the ominous silence only interrupted by my shoes hitting
the carpet and my blood rushing in my ears.
Ie to a stop outside L’s room, my heart hammering in my chest. A low whimper escapes from
within, too soft to be human Hesitation courses through me but I can’t hold back. With a deep breath, I
push the door open.
The sight that greets me is something out of a nightmare. Bloods sttered all over the walls, with L
slumped in the corner of the room, her body shaking with sobs
“L!” I rush towards her but stop short when a vampire steps front of me to block my path.
His lips curl into a cruel smile, revealing two sharp fangs. “Oh, aren’t we brave,” he mocks, his voice a
cold hiss that sends a shudder down my spine. “Coming to your friend’s rescue despite your obvious
vulnerability.”

Ignoring the vampire, Hkeep my eyes locked on L. Her brown eyes are wide, filled with terror but
also determination.
“Stay away from her. I demand, my voice surprisingly steady even as fear coils in my belly
The vampire chuckles darkly, stepping closer to L “How will you stop me, little wolf?”
Before I can respond, the vampire shoots forward to attack me close my eyes, bracing for the pain, but

“I don’t know.” I muse, feeling my confidence return. “You look pretty darn scared to me I flex my
fingers, watching as the sharp points of the ws glint in the light.

Her words are shocking. How!

Shape-shift… The mere thought of it makes me breathe hand and fast, my body trembling with fear.
But thest time 1 did that, I failed.
Let go of the past, Daisy. Trust in yourself. The mousy girl needs to step back and allow the wolf to be
born
I’m not a mousy girl’ I argue.
Then prove it.
My heart hammers in my chest, an echo of the clock ticking away L’s life “Fine,” I grit out, letting my
determination override my fear
The memory of my past failure still lingers in my mind How could it now? Isabe posted the valeo

the dim room, casting an ethereal glow. The vampire looks at me, his eyes wide with fear and disbelief.
He backs away, but I advance, my every step met by his retreat.
“Stay back!” he growls, extending his hands as if to shield himself from me. But there is sheer terror in
his voice, a terror that he tries hard to mask.
But I don’t stop my advance until the vampire is pressed against the blood-stained wall. His breath

time for you to die.
The vampire’s eyes widen, but I don’t let him speak. I open my mouth and bite off his head in one swift
movement. His body slumps to the ground, lifeless. The room is silent except for my own heavy
breathing and L’s soft sobs.
I turn towards L, stepping over the vampire’s corpse. She is barely breathing.
A vampire’s bite is poisonous to werewolves that haven’t been exposed to it,’ Sera points out in a
concerned voice. “Normally, a werewolf would heal from it within a few minutes, but her body is too
weak. It’s working overtime trying to heal her injuries.”
‘So what am I supposed to do?!”

With a sigh, I shape-shift back into a human and squat down in front of L. I ce my hands on her
chest and try not to cry when I see the pain in her eyes.
“Da…daisy,” she gasps, reaching out to grasp my hand before a weak smile curls her lips. “You… you

“I know,” I whisper, blinking back the tears that threaten to spill. And we will get through this too, okay?”
“No,” her smile widens. “Toote…”
“No!” 1 cry frantically, feeling my heart shatter into a thousand pieces. “You’re going to be alright, L.
Just hang on.”
But her eyes are growing dimmer, and her body is getting colder. As tears begin to slip down my
cheeks, her head lolls towards me onest time.
“You fought for me..” she whispers, reaching out with a trembling hand to brush a
