“What happened tothem?” Micah asks.
Alexander clears his throat. “They were disposed of.”
Tears well in my eyes with his words. The thought of those terrified children and the last thing they saw before dying breaks my heart.
“My sisters and I refused to eat from them.”
“Did Mother notice?” Amelia asks.
“She was angry. She tried to force us to eat.” He looks at me. “That’s why she sent me with you tonight. As punishment. I was supposed to kill you before returning home with our meal.”
“Why didn’t you?” she continues.
“Because Mother is wrong. The vampire children…they’re not natural.I’mnot natural.”
“We found Gretchen,” I say without thinking.
Alexander closes his eyes. “Gretchen needed to die.” He looks at Amelia. “You killed her.” His words are more of a statement, than a question.
“She didn’t feel any pain.”
“Thank you,” he answers. His words surprise me. “She’s not the only one who needs to die.”
“What’s your plan?” Fynn interrupts.
“We go back to the church and take her with us.” He nods toward Luna.
“Me?” Luna asks.
“Mother will think she’s our meal.”
“Patrice will recognize that Luna’s a lycan,” Topher interrupts. “I will not put a member of my pack in danger.”
“I won’t let Mother have her,” Alexander says. “I’m stronger than her.”
“Are you stronger than the immortal children who you described as monsters?” Anger sounds through Topher’s words.
“Most,” he answers honestly. “Autumn and Everly will help.”
“Look, little man,” Fynn says, moving closer to the boy. “I realize you think you’re all big and bad, but Patrice is an old vam…” Faster than the blink of an eye, Alexander has Fynn against the wall of the house with his teeth inches away from the lycanthrope’s neck.
“And you are a six-foot-five-inch lycanthrope who achildjust overtook,” Alexander slowly pulls away from Fynn’s neck. “I am stronger than her and most of my siblings. With your help.” He turns toward me. “My sisters and I will be able to kill them all.”
I stare at the immortal child, both in awe and terror. No wonder immortal children are against the rules. This kid is terrifying.
“I’m terrifying?” he asks. His voice loses the threatening tone.
Shit. Shit. Shit. “Your power is terrifying. I’m in awe of your abilities.” I stare at the young vampire, hoping my words are adequate.
“Thank you, Mommy,” he answers. “Mother never feeds the children the same day we receive the food. She likes to let them sit for a few days. She says the terror they feel makes their blood taste better.”
“Sick bitch,” Thorne mumbles.
“While we wait to eat, I’ll talk to Autumn and Everly and fill them in on the plan.”
“This is the plan?” Topher asks.
“While you leave me locked in a room, waiting to become…to become food for immortal children vampires, you’re going to recruit your friends?” Luna asks.
