it.”
    Some wolves don’t care about their pack. They just care about the power.
    “Rio is one of them,” Elijah exhaled softly. “If I find her and she is dead. I will be whipped. If I don’t find her, the command will kill me as surely as Rio would.”
    How does he expect you to find her?
    “He expects me to just know. I can only do the first thing that comes to mind, and that’s start where she was last seen. At her own home.”
    Keta’s mouth parted. She had gone pale, her mouth open.
    “What?”
    Keta blinked and then shook her head. It’s nothing. I just don’t know how I’ll be able to help.
    Elijah knew she was lying. He chose not to say anything. “You might be more help than you think. Come on, the faster we get this done, the faster we can get away from this place.” Elijah took her hand and pulled her towards the lone house on the street.
    The windows were smashed, glass glittering around the outside. There was blood on the pavement in front of the small house, dark with age, yet still shining in the moonlight. An eerie silence filled the night around the house.
    Elijah was cautious as he stepped inside, avoiding touching the broken door. The hallway had drops of blood forming a trail from one of the rooms to the front door.
    Elijah bent, looking at the blood, inhaling deeply. Though the house had not been cleaned, there were no scents within. Nothing but dust.
    Elijah followed the blood trail into a living room. The furniture was torn to pieces, pictures smashed and tables overturned. There had been a struggle.
    Elijah turned his attention to the blood trail. He could tell that from the tails on the blood, they led from the living room to the door.
    She knew the person responsible and was unable to do anything about it. Elijah searched the room, positive he was right. He couldn’t begin to imagine what Katrina had gone through, knowing the person who knocked on her door and inviting them in, just to be beaten and taken away.
    Elijah could relate. He was both vampire and werewolf, two creatures who hated each other. He couldn’t side with the vampires, or the werewolves. He was in the middle and couldn’t do a thing about it. He didn’t know who he could trust.
    “So, what happened?” he murmured the words to himself.
    From the corner of his vision, Keta raised her hands.
    Someone knocked on the door, Katrina answered it. There was no struggle because Katrina knew the person. He must have been on his way out, she was walking him to the door when he hit her. Keta pointed to the trail of blood. Gravitational drops show she was hit just as she stepped out of this room and she was dragged out.
    “What are the chances of her being alive?” Elijah didn’t expect an answer, or for Keta to know.
    Keta swallowed hard, her attention on the room. Slim.
    “So what do you plan on doing?”
    Keta jumped at the sound of the male voice and hid behind one of the chairs.
    Elijah looked around as Blake walked into the room. Elijah eyes shot to where Keta was hidden. “I’ve been ordered to find her. I have no choice.”
    “What about the half-breed?”
    Elijah breathed a sigh of relief. Blake had no idea that there was someone else in the room with them. He thought Elijah was just talking to himself. “The Silent Killer? She’s a different matter.”
    “Think. What would make a half-breed hunt for vampires?”
    Elijah knew the answer instantly. “Because they betrayed her. That has to be the answer. She was a vampire and was betrayed by someone she trusted. Vampires don’t care if they kill each other. Betrayal is the worst thing a vampire can do to another.”
    “Whereas a werewolf couldn’t attack their own kind, even if they were banished from the pack.”
    “Right.”
    “So not only do you have to search for a wolf who has likely been dead for months now, but you’re hunting for a half-breed hell bent on putting an end to our kind?”
    Elijah faced Blake. “I didn’t ask for
