Chapter 250: Act Fool

Fergus... that didn’t ring any bells. But at least, now we had a name for the killer. I was tired of calling him ’Cullen’, especially now that we’ve confirmed that he’s not him.

"Okay, so we know that he’s the vampire now. What else are we waiting for?" I asked cluelessly.

However, Rhett gave me a look that shut me up just then. What was I thinking?

Aceco was trying not to have a breakdown, and here I was, already thinking about how to bring down the vampire.

I turned to face her, placing my palm on her shoulder just like Rhett. "You can take a break from here, Aceco. Thank you so much for everything, you’ve been more than helpful."

The fairy healer chuckled softly, a glimmer of a smile managing to creep up her face as she waved off my gratitude. "There’s no need for that, Isleen. I’m simply making myself useful." She paused, turning to face Rhett. "I’ll trust you to handle everything else from here. Keep tabs on Fergus before he steals someone else’s form and until you can kill him."

It was the first time that I ever heard Aceco sound so decisive on the idea of killing. I was curious about what she’d seen through the dagger, but now I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to see it.

I’d been traumatized enough.

Aceco drew In a deep breath before speaking again. "I’ll still stick around until the fairy Queen takes her leave. It’s been a while since I visited Enchantee... maybe I’ll ask her to take me there." Her face brightened up with a radiant smile as she talked about the territory of the fey.

I’d only ever heard stories about the territory of the fey. A place where all life was respected, no matter how little. Where all creatures lived in perfect harmony.

That was before the vampires began their attack on all races anyway. Now the place was almost desolate, thanks to the attacks made by the vampires there.

"No worries; we really appreciate your help, Aceco." Rhett nodded curtly at her.

With that, Aceco walked toward the Alpha’s house, leaving Rhett and me behind.

"So..." my voice trailed off as I turned my gaze to him. "Now what?"

He sighed deeply before glancing at me. "Now, we keep our distance while watching this... Fergus, discreetly. Don’t give him a reason to think you’re suspicious of him. We’ll come up with a way to lure him out and if possible, kill him. I don’t think there’s any need beating around the bush anyway, I doubt someone like him would be willing to give us any information on the vampire Lord even if we tortured him."

I nodded my understanding. I didn’t feel safe anymore in Rhett’s house, but I had no choice. I had to play along... for now at least.

"I should be heading back to join the rest for our meeting." He suddenly said as he placed both palms on my shoulders. "Stay safe, alright? And don’t hesitate to call me if anything happens. If Fergus even makes one move out of line, just give me a call and I’ll be there with the speed of light."
