Vladimir and Adrian had come to value and respect her decision making and weren’t about to question it now.
Vladimir and Adrian nodded their private approval to one another.
“Do you agree to this, Rosemary?” Adrian asked.
“I do. I believe it’s a beneficial decision. I’ve received support from several covens. They’re pleased to have me appointed as a representative for our kind. We feel it’ll give us an opportunity to strengthen the relationship between all three of our kind. I am concerned though that the werewolves may be more difficult to persuade.”
“I do see the value in making such offers,” Vladimir stated. “However, I feel strongly that we should enlist more vampires. We could use the assistance.”
Kayci nodded. “I agree. I know Adrian would prefer to be back in the field instead of dealing with internal affairs of the Covenant. Let’s each suggest someone to invite as a member. I’d like to start with finding a vampire named Edward Allis. Doctor Edward Allis,” she added.
As soon as Kayci said the name, Adrian thought it sounded familiar. Perhaps he’d met him at some point. He wondered how she knew of him.
“I’ll find Dr. Allis. Shouldn’t be too difficult if he’s still alive,” Adrian said. “There’s a vampire or two that I have in mind. I’ll pay them a visit while I look for Allis.”
“I’ll go west. There is a vampire there by the name of Frederick that I feel would be a valuable asset. I might as well pay a visit to the MacCabe clan while I’m out there. I’ve received word that Natalia has fled to that area of the country. I may be gone awhile.”
Adrian looked at Kayci affectionately before he spoke. “Can you ladies handle things while we’re away?”
Kayci smirked at him.
“We’ll be just fine.”

Author bio:
Betty Shreffler is a self-proclaimed nerd obsessed with folklore, photography, writing, reading, movies, board games, and spending time with her husband and five fur babies, as well as enjoying the outdoors. Not necessarily in that exact order though. She’s lived in four different states and moved homes twelve times. She received a BA in organizational management and minor in sociology, although her heart has always belonged to writing and photography. Growing up, she read romance and supernatural novels and jotted down poems and short stories. Not much has changed, only now her stories are lengthier. She lives in a little town in Tennessee where you can find her sitting in her sunroom-turned-writing room, gazing out the window at the little bitty perching birds, dreamily plotting her characters’ lives.
