My Most Precious Human

I sat on my bed and stared blankly at Patrick. I was scared and confused. Patrick's gaze was restless and angry. I bet that he regretted leading the legions in this werewolf war. He would rather join the rest of the Royal Army to fight degenerates and the one claiming to be the New King.

"Do you think that JD might be someone from my father's pack?" I asked after sucking a deep wave of air into my lungs.

"We can't ignore that possibility," he sighed heavily, knowing that doing so would only make me hate my heritage even more.

"But as far as I know, there is no one in the pack capable of doing such things." I knew little about the current situation inside the pack, but I knew my father, and he would never allow keeping someone this strong within the pack, someone who could be a threat to his reign.

"Have you considered that it might be your father?" Patrick asked, hesitantly.

"Don't be ridiculous." I waved that idea away quickly. "JD's notes sounded like there was something intimate between him and Elora. I think I'm about to throw up just trying to add my father to that picture…"

Patrick shot me an awkward smile. "Yeah, I guess you are right. But putting intimacy aside, you have to admit that he kind of fits…"

"Don't even go there, Patrick." I glared at him. "There is one more issue that doesn't fit: the degenerates. How could a werewolf create an army of degenerates for himself?"

Patrick must have known this much better than I did. This type of army couldn't have been created by a wolf.

"I know," he tossed, angrily. "There has to be a strong commoner biting people solely to create an army. Then those bitten ones are locked away and rarely given blood to keep their bloodlust on a high level until they are thrown to fight," he explained.

"That would make sense… But do you seriously think that the commoner, no matter how strong he is, could challenge Sariel, a noble, pure-blooded vampire?" I smiled wryly, doubting that it could ever happen.

Patrick exhaled, and shook his head. "No. There is no chance that JD is a commoner, but perhaps JD has a commoner beside him, creating an army for him?" he suggested.

It was hopeless. Neither of us had a clue who JD might have been, but we knew that he could be somewhere close.

I finally choked out and handed Patrick the piece of

I needed to find some distraction to survive the rest of the day. I turned on my laptop and decided to do a little research, trying to find some psychopathic black sheep among one of the noble vampire families. It was a long shot, but I thought that if I
