The date on the outside was way too long ago for her to be the dead woman.
This was a new kill. He’d have to be an idiot to miss that little detail.
The coagulated blood everywhere gave it away.
Seth shrugged.
“I have no idea, my dude. This is a messy one. The ME is going to have to give us more.”
If he could find COD.
As for him not knowing what happened…
That was a lie.
A huge one.
He knew because he saw the telltale sign of her neck being ripped out. Either a random dog had a snacky-snack, or a rogue vamp was having a meal.
And that was his domain.
If they had a rogue vamp, the families would have to go to the society, and have this handled.
By the vampyres—not the cops.
Only, there was something perplexing.
Where were the bodies that had been in the crypts originally?
That was the question.
In his mind, he heard her.
A vampyre has been here,Clariel offered, sharing what she could smell.If I can get closer, I can sniff around. Literally. If we’ve come across him or her before, from one of the societies, I will be able to tell who it is.
Well, that was handy.
Lucky him.
What he needed was to get the information to Percy, and he would go out and‘handle’it.
By handle, he meant execute the vamp who was feeding on humans. As a once-guardian, and now head of a family, that was his job.
The end would be swift.
Feeding on people was a no-no in their world. It only brought trouble to their doorsteps.
Someone got angsty here,Clariel admitted.I would have done this a lot cleaner. This draws attention.
That befuddled him.
Not the clean part. Honestly, Seth never understood how his mate was a well-tuned murder machine when she was as sweet as an innocent lamb.
Clariel laughed in his mind, and was honest.
I don’t kill unless my very human mate gets his sexy ass into trouble. Then, I have to step in and show him how to take care of your man.
He almost laughed out loud.
