Inside the building, the Celestial Elders lived, where vampires and werewolves served and protected them every second of the day.
They were in a room that had been refurbished to look like a throne room. And as they each sat on their respective chairs, a guard brought in a woman who was wearing a hood to cover her face so that she was not able to retrace where she was.
The guard threw her to the ground. She was defenseless and cuffed with enchanted handcuffs. The same ones that had been used on her when Markham and Kayla had tied her up.
The guard removed the hood that covered her face, and the Elders looked at her face as she was sweating and gasping for fresh air.
“Who is this?” Braislo asked angrily. He was wearing a hoodie that covered his face.
“She calls herself Alaina. She was a pupil of Garrett who served Kayla.”
“Garrett is dead, and Kayla is missing. Why do you bring her here?” Arthur the one hundred and twenty year old werewolf questioned her.
“I have some news to- “
Braislo raised his hand and then casted a spell that forced Alaina to lose her oxygen, “Speak when spoken to.” Alaina gasped as her body tried helplessly to regain air back into her lungs.
He then lowered his hands, and it allowed Alaina to breath again. “Now, tell me what is so important that you need an audience with us?”
“Someone has broken the sacred rule.” She shouted quickly, fearing that they were going to continue to harm her.
“Which is what?” Carlanis, the one hundred and twenty-seven year old vampire asked.
“The Hybrid rule.” Alaina said. “There is a vampire out there pregnant with a werewolf’s baby. I know that this is something that you would wish to know and that is why I am here. To seek refuge from those people and to also to help you kill them.”
Vanessa, a two hundred and twenty year old werewolf instantly hated her. “We don’t need you to tell us. We will extract the information from your head. Take her to the operation room. We are going to dissect every bit of information that we can out of her.” She ordered the guard and he nodded.
“Let’s go.” The guard grabbed her arm and forced her to stand up.
“What, no. Please. I just want to help.”
“Then you have nothing to worry about.”

Braislo and Carlanis had left and gone to their rooms. Vanessa and Arthur remained in the meeting room. “What the hell are we supposed to do now?” Arthur asked.
“We have to warn Klayton that they know. They’re going to come after him.”
“You should have never turned him, babe.”
“I was bored. Wanted to see what would happen.”
Arthur took a deep breath. “What do you want me to do?”
“Distract them. Delay the torture or kill her, I don’t care. Just give me time. I have to make contact with Klayton. I can tell that Braislo is pissed off and he wants to hunt him down already.”
