I’ve Been Expecting You

"What? That can't be..", Stanley covered his mouth in disbelief.

"Alva mixes her daughter's blood in her so-called creations, particularly the blue pills you take. It is her blood that made you feel… more alive. It is her blood that your addicted to", Scott said not breaking his gaze at Stanley.

"Her blood alone can mask a vampire's scent, suspending their strenght, appearance and all other demonic attachments they normally have. We don't know how well it works with other beings yet. But, her blood holds power that when in the hands of a wrong person, it will become stronger and destructive", Scott sat himself on the table as he continued.

"How did she.. If she's a wolf like us then how..", Stanley confusely asked.

"She grew up without wolf recognitions. Alva hid her away from all affiliations that would ignite her awareness and curiosity about shapeshifters. But still, destiny found its way when we imprinted. I can't confirm what Alva is, I'm hoping she's a wolf. She got to be, though I sense she's not", Scott added as he face Stanley.

"Son.. if she's a wolf, we still have to cut the imprint. We are damned with a Lycan because of her.", Stanley said.

"Old man, I won't let anyone hurt Diana. Not even you. I say.. kill the Lycan, not my Luna" Scott answered.

"Also, you have to find your way to cut yourself out of that habit of yours, because I won't let Alva get more of Diana's blood for her damned creations… ", Scott said with a more gentler face. "Maybe it's time to accept what's naturally ahead of you.", Scott turned his back from Stanley leaving him sitting in perplexity. When he reached the door, he saw Reina and Damon who were eavesdropping. The two gasped and smiled awkwardly seeing Scott.

"Show's over", he said to the two younger wolves as he head out. Halfway through the corridor, his phone rang and saw his secretary's name on the screen calling.

"Bring me good news", he timidly said as he paused from walking. Reina and Damon followed him behind.

Jim: Hello Alpha! I'm calling about the update on the death of Emilia. I have the copy of the video who killed her.

"Who was it?", Scott asked with much anticipation.

Jim: Uhh.. The thing is.. Alpha.. uhh…

"Just say it! I don't have all day to hear you stuttering!", Scott said as he lose patience.

Jim: Right, Boss! Okay… so uhh, It's her.. daughter, Ysabella. She murdered her mother, Alpha…

There was long silence hearing who the murderer was. He was expecting to hear Alva's name. A young innocent girl like Ysabella, who haven't even come of age to shapeshift, wouldn't have the strenght or intentions of killing her own mother.

"What? Are you sure??", Scott exclaimed while Damon and Reina tried their best to hear their conversation.

Jim: Positive Alpha! Here's the thing, the video has no audio. They like.. talked for a while before the tiny girl strongfully broke her mother's arm then beat her with a shovel thrice her size. I know she's a wolf but.. she haven't even come of age to awaken her wolf senses yet. It was so gruesome, then she..

"Stabbed Emilia in the neck with a branch?", Scott asked as he remembered the words of Alva back in the parking lot.

Jim: you know? Have you seen the video?

"It was the same exact thing Alva told me. Were there any other suspicious signs aside from her strenght? Any other leads?", Scott asked.

Jim: In the video, the girl's eyes were yellow. I'm not sure if it was just the gleam of the light. The girl was full of coldness, and her movements were measured. Another thing Alpha, before the murder took place, there's a video that showed the girl got wounded on the arm from a horse bite. On the same day, she was seen talking with a big black bird. Minutes after, the wound is no long visible in sight. An hour later, she started attacking her mother.

'Nagua's rule of tit for tat', Scott thought. The nagua claimed what it wanted in return after curing Ysabella's wound. Nagualli don't kill without reason, they don't move without purpose. 'But why did it killed Emilia?', Scott wondered deeply.

"Thanks Jim. Don't tell anyone yet, and don't do anything. Wait for me, I'll be there soon.", he said as he hang up. Scott turned around to Reina as he feel his heart beat thump faster. "Where's Sebastian??", he blurted out.

"In his.. room?", Reina answered with hesitation. Unsure of where her brother might be, she sprinted out to find him in their chalet.

Scott and Damon hurriedly followed her out seeing his pack waiting outside. "Split up, find Sebastian", Scott ordered as they go on their separate ways.

Meanwhile, Dolphus was walking his way through the woods as he head onto his hut downriver. He followed the sound of the racing waters whilst he trudge carefully on the rough ground. For a person who render unsighted, Dolphus seemed to know where exactly to go.

He held his wooden walking stick when he suddenly stopped a few steps from his home.

"I've been expecting you.", He knitted his brows at the presence of an anticipated visitor.

"Are you here to kill me?", he turned at the direction where the person is radiating his deathly aura. "Are you that afraid of a man who couldn't see, to the point you hide in this body?", Dolphus chuckled softly.

"You are smart like your daughter", Sebastian said as he stood upright. Stoned and in a daze, he remained standing with his hands in his side.

"You still haven't found peace after all these years. You already have the girl, haven't you had your revenge?", Dolphus asked.

"Revenge? Who said about revenge?", Sebastian's voice turned to a woman's.

"Then what do you want, nagua?", Dolphus puffed his wooden pipe as he groaned.

"I want endless power.. supremacy. and you're in my way. I can't let anyone ruin my plans, not your daughter and not even you.", Sebastian said as he lifted his bright yellow eyes towards Dolphus.

"You won't stand a chance. The girl is stronger than what you think", Dolphus said with a smile. In his mind, he though of his daughter, Emilia, who he'd finally see when his life is over.

"She's just a pawn. You've seen her fate.", Sebastian scoffed. "Let's see then.. oh right, you'll see from the other side", Sebastian swiftly leaped against Dolphus and cut off his neck with his bare hands.
