Chapter 50
Caleb
I have no idea why I epted the guest room upstairs. Do I need a room? Yes. Do vampires need to
sleep? No. I’m just lying on the bed and staring up at the ceiling. It’s pretty da&n boring if you ask me.
A sigh leaves my lips as I fold my arms underneath my head. I’m not listening to music but focusing on
the rain. It’s soothing wait are those footsteps outside the house?
With careful footsteps, I maneuver to the window. It’s dark outside if you don’t count the moonlight.
There’s no sun in sight, just a strange, mysterious figure.
Hmm? I’m so confused. Who is this person, and what are they doing dressed in a robe in L’s
garden? It almost looks like Daisy, but this girl is a lot taller than her though. Another sister? Weird. I
don’t think the vampire queen mentioned another
sister to me.
I keep watching the bandit in silence. They try the door handle, and that’s when I jump down from the
window like a shadow in the dark. They immediately lift their head and raise their arm as if to punch
me, but I easily grab it while blinking down at the woman in surprise.
“Who are you?” I ask.
Her eyes narrow. “A vampire? What the hell are you doing here? thought I was the only one sent to spy
on L. Don’t they trustine to finish the mission?”
“Finish the mission?” I blink at the woman until I finally understand. She smells like a werewolf, but she
is definitely working for the vampire. “You’re a mole, aren’t you?”
The woman’s eyes widen. “Y… you’re not with the vampires? Who are you?!”
Before I get a chance to silence her, she scr
screams in such a loud voice that the lights go on inside L’s room. I swear under my breath and
ce my palm over the girl’s mouth. How the hell do I exin this to L? Now I’m the one who looks
like the bad guy!
The woman whose fist I’m holding is struggling against me, but it’s like she isn’t even trying. Are all
werewolves as weak as this one? I tilt my head and grin sheepishly when the door opens behind me.
L is standing there in shock, ncing between us with furrowed eyebrows. “Lina? Caleb? What the
hell are you guys doing out here?”
“This vampire is trying to kill me!” Lina cries, causing me to re at her.
“What?” I snap. “I haven’t tried anything! Believe me, if I wanted you dead, you wouldn’t be breathing ri
right now.”
“Caleb is right,” L says, and my heart swells-my mate trusts me. I’ve never been happier! I look at
her with heart-shaped eyes as she continues talking, “What I want to know is what you’re doing here,
Lina.”
Without thinking, I blurt out exactly what’s on my mind, “I think she is a spy and working for the vampire
queen. She was sneaking around your garden, probably looking for a way in. Maybe she was sent to
kill you?”
L’s eyes widen as she takes in my words. She nces at Lina, who is squirming under my grip, her
face going pale. “A spy? For the vampire queen?” L repeats slowly, her gaze calcting
“Yes,” I insist, tightening my grip on the traitorous werewolf. “She mentioned something about a
mission. I believe she

intended to infiltrate your house for whatever nefarious ns the vampire queen has.”
I see a hint of
flicker in L’s gaze before she regains herposure. “Is that true, Lina?” She asks, her voice steely.
Lina jerks away from me in an attempt to free herself. “I-I don’t know what he’s talking about,” she
stammers, feigning innocence. But her nervous gaze and trembling hands give her away.
“Oh really?” I raise an eyebrow, not buying her act for a second. Then why were you trying the door
handle?”
Lina stutters and stammers, unable to answer my question.
“I think we should take this inside,” L finally states, a determined gleam in her eyes. “We need to call
Alpha Xavier and maybe even Daisy. They are sisters.”
Ah, so I was right in assuming as much. Daisy and Lina look simr.. well, not THAT simr. Lina is
much taller, and her eyes are brown. If I were to guess, Lina has Spanish roots while Daisy doesn’t.
Daisy is much too pale. Their hair color, however, is simr, and so are their clothes. It’s like Daisy is
wearing hand-me-downs from Lina.
Without wasting a moment, Lina tries to flee, but I quickly grab her and throw her over my shoulder.
She kicks with her legs, but I’m not bothered. L, however, is staring at me with eyes the size of
saucers.
“What?” Task.
“N-nothing!” She shrieks. I’ve never taken her for the nervous type, but she is acting weird. I’m just…
surprised by how strong you are. You’re so pretty that it’s easy to forget that you’re a deadly predator.”
Her words catch me off guard, and my heart skips a beat. “Pretty?” I echo incredulously. I’m not blind-I
know that I’m good-looking even among vampires, but to hear L admit that I’m “pretty” makes me
happy.
“You are.” she mumbles. Anyway, let’s get Lina inside, okay? You can tie her to a chair while I call
Alpha Xavier, Chances are he is sleeping, and we will be forced to hold her hostage until morning.”
“Hostage?!” Lina yells. “I’m not a vampire-I’m a werewolf and innocent! I haven’t done anything!”
“Oh, save it for Alpha Xavier, sweetheart,” L retorts, her voiceced with a sharp sarcasm that I’m
beginning to associate with her. “We really don’t care about your drama right now!
I stop in my tracks. “You know, if you allow me to look inside her mind, I could uncover the truth right
away,” I propose, looking at L for approval.
“You can do that?”
“Yeah?”
I hope I’m not scaring her by revealing more of my powers, but the truth is that I’m like the 3’rd
strongest vampire in my n. The only two vampires that are stronger than me are the queen and the
prince. Don’t ask me how, but even if I’m not a pureblood, I have abilities some vampires can’t even
dream of. They call me a “gifted” vampire.
L wet her lips. “LI don’t know. Maybe we should wait until Alpha Xavier gets here?”
“Sure,” I smile. “I won’t invade Lina’s mind without your Alpha’s consent.”
“Good,” she seems nervous and keeps ncing up at Lina, who is still trying to escape. “Do you read
people’s minds often?”
*Not really. It can destroy people if I’m not careful. They get paranoid and begin thinking I’m always
listening to their inner, most secret thoughts.”

“Ah,” she casts her eyes aside, “Well, tie up, Lina.”
“Will do.”
L leaves me alone to call her Alpha while I enter the kitchen. I find some rope under the sink and tie

But even though I’m doing everything my mate asked of me, I can’t shake off the feeling that L is
even more afraid of me. How do I win her over?
