213 Before the Darkness


    [Nichs’s P.O.V.]


    “Nick!”


    The moment I woke up from my sleep, I called out to my idiot nephew. I had just taken a nap on the sofa.


    Although it was daytime, every window was tightly sealed by the dark curtains. Even if there was a bit of sunlighting in through the gaps, it wasn’t enough to hurt me.


    The next second, my idiot nephew appeared in a wisp of white smoke and lowered his head towards me.


    “Lord Nichs.”


    “Did you get the information I needed?” asked I.


    “Yes, sir.”


    “Tell me about it.” I leaned back on the sofa in afortable position and ced my legs on the coffee table.


    “The current Alpha of Sunset Pack is Edward Lancaster. Lancaster. He’s twenty-seven years old and is the head of tworge corporations in human society. One is a pharmaceuticalpany and the other is an investmentpany. His parents are still alive and his pack has over two thousand members. His wolf’s name is Champion, a wolf covered in silver fur and is sixteen feet tall. His speed and strength in terms of attacks are very impressive,” said Nick as read out the information beside me.


    “He has more than two thousand members?”


    “Yes, my Lord. He owns one of thergest werewolf packs in the United States.”


    I have to admit that this deepened my impression of him. This was indeed rare for an Alpha who was less than thirty years old.


    “Continue, Nick.”


    “The current Luna of Sunset Pack is Emily. B. Goodall, the woman in the photo you gave me. “She’s twenty-three years old. Her father was the chief butler of the pack’s castle. Her wolf’s name is Agatha. There’s not much other information about her abilities.”


    “It seems that they’ve done a good job keeping it a secret,” said I.


    “My Lord, it says here that this Alpha has a mistress and that mistress has a son with another werewolf,” said Nick.


    “This gossip is not important to me. I just need you to confirm that the she-wolf named Emily is a real person and is the same as the one in the photo? The Luna of their pack?”


    “Yes, that’s what thetest information shows, my Lord.”


    “Is there anything else?”


    “They seem to have noticed something, so they have installed more defensive measures at the edge of the pack and inside.”


    “What are those measures?”


    “Uh, they seem to have more power grids, cameras, infrared, and so on.”


    This made me want tough. Didn’t these stupid werewolves know that these things had no effect on the vampire’s transportation method? It seemed that I needed to deal with an Alpha who wasn’t smart enough, which would make everything easier.


    “I thought maybe you could take a look at the map of the Sunset Pack.” Nick handed me a map and the rest of the information.


    “Leave it here, I’ll study it. And pass this information to the general and the captains too.”


    “Yes, my Lord.”


    [Mona’s P.O.V.]


    When I came to Alonso and Susanna’s house, they were already waiting there. Today’s training was more enlightening as ‘my uncle’ did everything he could to teach me.


    After the training, we had some serious conversations, mostly with Alonso. I listened to most of it and I buried the words in my stomach.


    By the time I returned to the castle, I immediately found Alpha.


    “I have a feeling that Nichs will act tonight,” said I to him.


    “What is that feeling?” asked he.


    “I don’t know, I just feel my energy and mental state fluctuating.”


    “So it’s not a definite premonition? But it’s hard to believe.” And it was in moments like this that I forget he was just an ordinary werewolf.


    “But maybe it’s because you’re sleep-deprived and tired from this morning’s crazy experience, Baby, you’re too nervous,” said he as he helped me tuck my hair behind my ear.


    “No, Edward. It’s tonight.”


    I stuck to my point. Even though I didn’t know the exact time it would happen, I could feel the strange fluctuations. I knew my body and ability could react to impending dangers or events.


    “Alonso feels the same way too, but he’s not allowed to interfere in this matter,” said I as Alpha looked at me. I was using my eyes to plead with him.


    “I understand. I’ll make the necessary arrangements right away.” He kissed my forehead before contacting all the ranked members and rted personnel to have theme to my room.
