I felt Ethan stir in my mind, pushing for an entrance that felt like a little spark. He opened up a new link them pulled the other wolves in; they hoped like popcorn full of electric energy as they entered the link. "Brother, we're all here," Evan said. "Good, Levi and Tikanni know now. Let's do an update real quick, I want to know where we are on everything," Ethan stated with a firm edge. His beast was close. Talking of his family, our family, being slain that day only made the both of us lust for blood. Levi eyed him a bit while Ethan's eyes began to glow lowly like a night light. "Ethan get over here," Levi gruffly said as he leaned his elbows against his knees. "I can feel your fur practically popping out. Don't tempt me, because I am two seconds away from doing what we both want." Ethan nodded to Levi then walked over to where I was sitting. I stood up as Lander scooted over and made some more room for Ethan who tiredly sat on the couch then patted a spot on his lap. I smiled and let him pull me close to him, close to the scent of his skin that seemed to calm both of us down. "Better?" I asked over our bond link. The one that we and only we could share. Ethan sighed before kissing more forehead. "Better." "Brother," Lander calmly said. "What about the vamps? The history is fragile but it seems like that's all been put behind us." "Ya, what about those rebels you were telling me about? When Derek was kidnapped?" I added. Levi sighed a little and looked at me with a mildly annoyed raised brow. "Guess it's story time." Liam let out a huff right as Evangeline smacked his chest. "I want to hear this now behave!" she whisper-yelled to him. Levi actually chuckled then winked at Evangeline who smiled smugly to him. "Well, back then before the treaty, you all know, well maybe not Charlie, but basically we were always at odds with them. The feud goes back to the first among us but eventually as time went on two groups kind of formed in each species. One group was peaceful and just wanted to live their lives, they were tired of war and as the human population grew it became more important that we focus our efforts on preservation rather than killing each other. "But there was another group that was anti-peace. They were always stirring the trouble, power hungry, and a damn pain in my ass. They caused more harm than the good they thought their purist asses were doing." "What was their goal?" I asked. Levi sighed. "Keep the species pure and separate. Kill off each other so one had dominance, that kind of bullshit. Got so bad that humans started to get involved, they were collateral in some cases. That's when we pushed hard for the treaty and moved to conceal them. Both sides for the treaty realized how dangerous the other group was, I guess you could say it brought us more together. "We ended up working hard together to get rid of those little annoying shits. Wipe out their supplies, destroy camps, and kill most of them. We gave some that were willing to try peace a second chance, but not many wanted that." "What about Derek?" I asked again. "Right before it was signed things were bad. I wasn't sure if we would get it to work, there was so much going wrong and not much right. The other side in the wolf camp kidnapped Derek and Elliot and held them hostage. They tried to pin it on the rest of us and make it look like we were undermining the vamps to destroy peace. "The best part was that some of the damn vampires in the rebel camp helped them. They just wanted to get rid of us, the ones pushing the treaty, so they could go back to killing each other. "Chris helped me find them. Ended up going to some swamp ass dump in the middle of Florida with Leo and a small army of men from both sides to get them." "Florida?" Levi nodded. "Pain in my ass to go, hot as hell down there and the mosquitos were horrible." I rolled my eyes a little. Ethan's thumb was slowly rubbing against my arm as he chewed on his bottom lip a little. "You think it could be them?" he asked. Levi shrugged. "I don't know. We wiped most of them out and the rest we let wander and die out as rogues. It would be a miracle for them to come back this strong, but I don't know. Anything involving that treaty is not good." He scratched at his head a little before looking to Ethan a little tiredly. "I'm going to send Derek to Leo. We can bring Leo in and probably Alex. They are good vamps, good men. They knew Chris, hell, Leo sent men to help look for evidence after the attack." Ethan nodded. "I remember." "They are just as protective of the treaty as we are. They won't say anything, no need to spook everyone just yet," Levi said. "Give him some rocks to take too, maybe Leo knows someone or something? I mean he's older than dirt right?" I asked. Ethan chuckled a little with David as Lander rolled his eyes. "Yap, but don't tell him that girly." "We should see if he knows anything about that word, 'transibo,' I heard the rogues mumble it before. It could be nothing but it could also be everything." Levi nodded. "Talk to Derek when you two get home, he needs to go tomorrow. I'll call Leo myself and talk to him as well. You should move Elliot somewhere safe. It Thomas is a vamp hater, he's not going to be happy about Elliot staying there by himself." "He can stay with us," Ethan said. "I was going to ask them anyways, I don't trust Thomas either and I'll feel better with someone else in the house to be with Char when I'm not there." I snapped my eyes to him and gave him a raised brow. He sighed a little and brushed my hair out of my face. "You're a target babe and I'm not taking any chances with you." "He's right Char," David added. "It's for your own safety girly." "Fine," I breathed out. I wasn't a fan of having a 'babysitter' all the time, but I didn't disagree with them. None of us could take chances.
