Chapter 137 – Tristan stalked off once Giovanni came downstairs, not giving the vampire so much as a glance. Clearly things were still tense between the two, but that was something they’d have to figure out on their own.

‘We need to talk to Brandon and Clara about this.’ I told Asher through mind-link, ‘it’s no coincidence the place is destroyed hours after we left.’

“This…” Giovanni’s gravely voice filled the air. In his arms was a thick leatherbound book. The pages were stained, but it was in surprisingly good condition. “…took a lot of convincing to get my hands on.”

My best-friend hovered nearby, always glowing whenever he was in the room. I looked up at him, taking in his mountainous physique and curly hair. Thick brows hung low over eyes so dark they looked black. The connection between myself and the vampires under my rule wasn’t as strong as an Alpha and his pack, but I could tell there was something Giovanni wanted to say.

“The vampire’s you got this from, have they made up their minds?” I asked, thinking back to when I made the choice that allowed these vampires the chance to think without the influence of my father clouding their judgements.

What solidified my choice even more was that Asher never once objected to my ideas or my vision for the future. His only connection to the vampire’s is through me, but he was still looking out for them in what ways he could.

 

It had taken a couple months, but after the d***h of my father Asher purchased a large sum of land just south of the pack boarders. Our plan was to build houses, provide jobs and clinics that could replace the need to hunt humans. Vampires would be welcome there, but only with the understanding that my father and his arcane ideals were of the past.

With time and the cooperation of the entire pack, we would accept vampires onto our lands and finally redeem ourselves from the bloodshed and mistakes of the past.

 

The witches currently gunning for my head, that put a kink in things.

“They’re close…” Giovanni nodded slowly; his blank expression unwavering. I was going to throw a ‘but’ in there, but thankfully Breyona beat me to it. “…they want to meet you.”
