“Can I have everyone’s attention please?” Riviana walked over so that she was standing in front of her desk, like she was addressing a classroom or something. “There is something that we need to tell all of you.” She turned to look at Talia now, beckoning her over. That left Alexio to stand near me.
“How are you holding up?” I asked him with genuine concern in my voice.
“I am worried about Talia. The visions will likely get worse before they get better.”
“That is true.” I nodded. “But we need to have faith that we can use this most recent vision to our advantage. We will save those girls, and we will capture those boys.” I was determined to make sure that Talia’s friends and classmates were safe.
“Agreed.” Alexio nodded with a firm set to his jaw. He was going to make sure that Talia’s dream was not going to go to waste.
It was time to pay attention to Riviana now. She was speaking to the room at large and I wanted to make sure that I didn’t miss anything that she was saying.
“There was a vision that was had before the last murders, but it was incomplete. We didn’t know it was a vision at all until the scenes matched up.” She explained this to the room and Trevor was the first one to speak up.
“How is that possible?” His deep voice practically boomed throughout the room. “How could you have a vision of a murder and not try to stop it.” He obviously thought it was Riviana that had the vision and not someone else.
“I didn’t get a location. I saw what happened, but not where. I knew that the girl that died was from the US, but I didn’t know where she was. I..if I did know, I would have told my parents so that they could save her. I didn’t even know it was a vision and not just a nightmare until it came true.” Talia explained this to him and the others.
“Talia?” He looked shocked. “You were the one that had the vision?”
“Yes. It came to me as a nightmare one night. And when the murders happened here the other day, that was when I found out that they were real. I had the dream a couple of days before the girl was killed though. If I knew how, I could have stopped it.”
“I am sorry, Talia. I didn’t mean to imply that it was your fault. You didn’t know.”
“I know, and I will work on not blaming myself. However, I had another vision today.” I had thought that it was going to be Riviana that was leading this discussion, but as it turns out, it was Talia. She was a natural at this leader thing. She was shy quite often, but she was there when she was needed.
“Another vision? Do you know who the victim is this time?” Trevor was intent on stopping another senseless murder.
“I know who all five of them were. This next murder is meant to be a statement to us. They are planning on making a display of five girls. Five men are going to lure them in as if they are on a date. And then they will kill them in Acacia Park. It will happen near midnight this Friday.”
“In two days!” Trevor was shocked. He and the others seemed to be reeling with the information that they just received.
Talia started to go into detail about the vision. I was pissed about every part of it, but when she told them about the man talking to her and grabbing her in the vision, and that he left a bruise on her arm that was still visible even a few hours later, I was even more pissed. That man had hurt my daughter, and I was going to hurt him. He was a monster. And I was going to do what Dietrich used to do and destroy this monster. I know that we weren’t exactly the same as his former group that he hunted with, but I think it’s about time that he got back to his former business. This group of people, not just that asshole that bruised my baby girl, were a threat to the world. If they somehow managed to kill all the nonhumans, where would they stop? Would they end their quest for power, or would they try to dominate the world? That was just something that none of us were able to leave up to chance. This was what was going through my mind as Talia wrapped up her speech.
“So, Talia, what you are telling us is that this man knew you were there in this vision? He knew that you were watching him and the others commit these crimes. And he was able to hurt you in the vision?” Valerian seemed to be almost as pissed off as I was. I mean, I didn’t blame him, he may have kids of his own, but he still loved all his family with a fierceness that most couldn’t match at all.
“Yes, Athair m貌r, that is what I am saying.” Talia nodded at him. “I don’t think he is aware of it now, but I think that he will sense me there in the future. In a sense, I think that my vision was more of a metaphysical time travel. I didn’t actually have a vision. What I think happened was that I was actually there. My subconscious was anyway. And he could feet me there. And that also means that I will be there in a way on that night. I might not be able to be seen, but I might be sensed by other people.”
“That could be used to our advantage.” Valerian seemed to go into deep thought at that moment. “If we can sense you, we will be able to track you to where you and those men are. It would help us if we took them by surprise because he thought it was just like you being there.”
“We will work on that later, Athair m貌r.” Riviana nodded at him. “What we need to do before that is to figure out how we’re going to stop these boys, and how we’re going to use the vision to our advantage.” I love it when my Little Bunny gets all serious like this. She is always a beauty when she is in charge. That is probably why I didn’t complain too much when I, a true Alpha male, had to start letting my wife call the shots in almost everything. Hey, I still had the bedroom, and I ruled there.

I was pissed from the moment that I got to campus this morning. I had wanted to go with Clovio this afternoon. I hadn’t gone out with him since our date last week and that felt like so long ago. I wanted to spend some more time with him so I could find out if he really was my mate. I needed to know what I was going to do if he was and if he wasn’t.
Was I going to date him if he wasn’t my mate? Was I just going to break his heart when the person that I was meant to be with came around? Should I allow myself to do that? Or should I be nice to Clovio and just leave him.
It would hurt him now, but it wouldn’t have to hurt him forever. He would find someone else eventually. He would get over me. I just hoped that I found my mate soon enough to get over him. Or better yet, that it clicked for me and that he was my mate.
I mean, if I looked at how intensely Warrick looked at Lyssa, and how Clovio looked at me, there wasn’t really that much of a difference. He had to feel the same for me that Warrick felt for Lyssa. He just had to.
…..
Or, well, I guess I could be deluding myself into thinking that. I just wanted to know for sure. And I was never going to know for sure if my parents locked me up in the castle like I was some prisoner.
“UGH!” I grunted and groaned loudly as I flung myself onto the bench next to Lyssa and Alexa.
“What’s the matter with you?” Alexa asked me with worry in her voice.
“Parents are the fucking worst.” I snapped, not at them just in general.
“Yeah, they can be, but they’re also super cool. Your mom and dad are really nice.” Lyssa tried to calm me down. “I was happy that my dad and papa came home last night. They’ve been gone for a long time. And my dad drove me to school this morning too.”
“Yeah, I heard. My dad drove us too.” I nodded at her. “How did your dad take the news of you and Warrick being mates.” I was excited to see how that conversation went. I knew that her parents wouldn’t act like my dad did.
“O..oh, w..well, they had just gotten home and we were all celebrating, I..I just didn’t want to-.”
“She didn’t tell them.” Levi cut her off.
“But she is going to today, aren’t you Lyssa?” Luka added in a scary voice.
