Rhett sounded stressed. "Listen, Isleen, you have to calm down. We still have to be careful. I don’t know if I’ve told you this before, but there’s only one way to kill the vampire."
I drew in a deep breath as I watched ’Cullen’ disappear out of sight. I couldn’t help worrying about Kylo and his relationship with him.
If he was really the vampire, then what was his ultimate goal? What did he want with me or Kylo?
"I’m trying my best to ’stay calm’ here, Rhett." I brushed my hand through my hair, as I took one final glance at Lupe’s silver dagger, feeling the cold metal of the blade.
I eventually placed it on top of my drawer, mentally promising myself to avenge Lupe.
I quickly changed my clothing to a pair of joggers and a tank top. I walked up to the mirror and tied back my hair into a bun as I anticipated the rest of whatever Rhett had to say.
"Fire." He suddenly blurted from the other end, causing me to snap my brows into a frown.
What?
Luckily, he elaborated. "That’s the only thing that can kill him. Silver probably affects him like every other vampire, but to truly kill him, we need to expose him to fire."
Oh, so we need to light up the bastard? But, how?
"Don’t bother yourself about it, though; just come here now. I’ll meet you outside the house." Rhett added softly.
There was something about his voice that made me relax. We’d last seen barely two hours ago, yet I felt rejuvenated at the thought of running into his embrace.
"I’m on my way," I muttered in reply, and with that, he hung up.
The silence around me was eerie. The dim lighting of my room didn’t help with the overwhelming feeling, and the shadows made me feel like I was being watched.
Nowhere was safe.
"You’ve got this, Isleen," I muttered reassuringly to myself before taking one final glance at my reflection in the mirror.
I quickly grabbed Lupe’s dagger and rushed out of my room. However, when I got downstairs and passed the kitchen, I paused.
Fire, eh?
I rushed into the kitchen and searched for it. Eventually, I found it. A lighter.
I placed that in my pocket as well and proceeded to rush out of the house. The bustling activities of the pack under the cover of the evening did little to ease the tension I felt.
I hadn’t gone to the Alpha’s house like... Ever. The idea was exhilarating but also unnerving.
It didn’t take me long to get close to the house on foot. And soon enough, I spotted him.
Rhett stood outside the gates, leaning on his car. But he wasn’t the only person there.
Aceco stood beside him and it seemed like they were having a conversation. The fairy healer was as gorgeous as ever, her wings fluttering gracefully behind her as she spoke.
