Chapter 165: 165. Someone from the government
A few hours later, Ezra was ready to leave the Shadow Moon Pack and head back home. He stood on the second floor of the alpha’s mansion with his hands tucked inside his pockets and Kora standing beside him. He had a small smile on his lips as they spoke even though her face was blank vacant of any emotion.
"Don’t let that happen again, Ezra," Kora said in a threatening tone. It would have worked if she was talking to another person with whom she was Luna over.
"I won’t allow it, Kora, that is a promise." He said and she nodded. "Take care of yourself."
"I will," Kora said and they might start walking down to meet with everyone else. Seeing the two coming down, Lazarus shook hands with Darren before walking to where Kora and Ezra stood. Ezra nodded to him and he nods back before he walked passed them.
"Thank you for taking care of him," Lazarus said.
"I am just glad things turned out okay." She said they continued walking toward the door. "Tell Dana I miss her," she said in a neutral tone.
"You should call her," he said and she looked at him, "More often," he added. "She will always be there to answer your calls, and so will I and everyone else, the Blood Moon pack is your home."
"I know and I am happy to be a part of it." She said and he nodded. "You are my father after all."
He smiled at the last words and nodded. It wasn’t every day should address him like that. "I am happy to be your father." He said and they stopped when they got close to the car and she hugged him. "I will let her know you miss her," he said wrapping his hands around her.
"Thanks," she said and pulled away from him. "Don’t forget Aziel,"
"I won’t."
Soon two cars drove out of the mansion one carrying The Blood Moon pack’s Alpha and Gamma and the other carrying their bodyguards.
"You okay?" Darren asked as he draped his hand around her waist. "Missing the pack?"
"I miss the people." She said and he raised an eyebrow. "They are annoying, but it’s nice to be around them."
"want to visit there sometime?" He asked and made her look at him. "Whenever you want, we can go, or you can alone, if it is what you want,"
"I will, soon." She said and tip-toed to kiss him. "I want to get used to being here too."
"I want to take you somewhere, a place where it would be just the two of us." Darren said with a serious expression as he gazed at her face, "Will you come with me?"
"Yes," she answers without thinking much about it.
"Won’t you ask where?" He asked and she easier a brow. "You agreed without asking."
"You won’t harm me and you won’t take me to places that will harm me," she replied.

Away from the Shadow Moon Pack,
William lay in bed with her head being cradled by Dmitri. She was both exhausted and angry at the turn of events but she was also happy that she did not yield. Though it had taken her a lot of strength to stay and continue with the fight, she was still exhausted as she was not prepared for something Like that but Crysta seemed pretty much prepared. It was as if she anticipated it and prepared beforehand.
She cured under her breath which was of no use because the vampire heard her loud and clear. "I am sorry I was not of help to you," Dmitri said.
If any of the vampires that knew him heard him apologize, their jaws drop to the ground even Cillia blinked at his words thinking she must have heard him wrongly or hallucinated hearing him say that out loud. "Dmitri...
He combed her hair with his fingers and continued, "I want to kill her," He said.
"Don’t." William hurriedly stopped him before he goes ahead and gives the order.
"Why?"
"If she is hurt or...killed now, it will be... I will be accused as the one responsible for it." She said and he nodded his head.
"How long until thou wounds are healed?" He asked no longer pushing the killing of the witch conversation.
"Once I recover my strength, it will be healed. Show replied. The show closed her eyes and opened her palms, and a dim white light appeared on her palms, Pitt looks as if it was fading but it stayed even after several minutes were passed. The wounds on her body started covering leaving no scars behind, making her look as youthful as ever.
Dmitri just held her in his arms without saying a word but watched in as every single cut or scratch on her skin based away. When those on her arm faded, he gently rubbed in the spot caressing it. His other hand was on her neck and his fingers stretched to her jaw tracing it with his thumb. "You didn’t tell me about the human."
Cillia opened her eyes a bit to see her take a peek at his chin and pointed nose, and a little sight of his dark eyes that stared at her without any emotion and she closed them back again. "I thought Dmitri must have told you."
"He didn’t, until last night." He said and gave a small nod. "I want to know everything that has happened during the period of my slumber."
"I will tell you after an I am all better." She said and the silence enveloped the nonce again until he decided to kiss her which made open her eyes.
"It has been too long since I had a moment like this." He said and she closed her back. There was no need to stop him, her strength was back and her body healed, she just needed to let him do the work. With that thought in mind, she allows him to take off her clothes.

At Coldshade City,
Crysta could be seen fuming and crashing all the furniture around her. The living area was a mess looking like a group of Vikings had fight in there. Jared stood with his hands folded across his chest while leaning against the door. He watched her smash a glass vase while yelling "How could she?" with a blank face until stombed feet matching to couch a sitting down like the couch was responsible for her anger.
"Who is this ’she’ you talk about?" Jared asked pushing himself from the door frame and walking two towards her.
"That b*tch, Cillia." She yelled and pulled her hair.
"Now, calm down and tell who is this Cillia and what did she do?" He asked clasping his hands around hers. "Let it all out, sweetheart."
"She.... Ahhh.... The damned coven chose her over years ago, and now.... Now, she cheated in our duel by using the powers she got as the given head." She said and Jared massaged the back of her palm in a calm in a manner.
"You can always get back at her Sweetheart," He said and smiled when she looked at him. "We are already working on that aren’t we?"
Crysta smiled. It was true that they were planning how to make every creature suffered while she was only planning to make the witches pay either way, it was still good and she could find a way to deal with her kind at the same time as when the humans have decided to cause and throw the world into chaos. "You are right, we are and I can wait, revenge us best served cold after all."
Jared smiled and kissed the back of her palm. "I prefer mineserved hot, like how I want to get rid of the sell casters. Burnt alive." He said with the most charming smile yet. Crysta’s face went blank and her smile took a pause at his words. "Of course that is excluding you sweetheart." He said but her smile did not return. "Now let us go, it almost time for dinner."
She stood up withholding her hand but her mind was far from him or anywhere around her current location. What he said stuck to her mind and hung heavily in her memory. He might have said that she was excluded but could she be sure, he was a human and humans were complicated creatures often too difficult to understand and figure out. Though most times they could be easy to predict, but when ever they want to do something as sinister as what a man like Jared was planning they could be very unpredictable.
"Someone will be ciningbtinjave dinner with today, My love, Jared said as he led her to the dining room. "He is from the government, we have decided to reach out for extra supprt, military support as we take our plans to the next step."
