Chapter 98: Puzzling Secrets: Part Two

Luther stepped into the lift, and Esme could hear him sigh as he pulled the door back in place. But he stopped when his phone rang, and he instantly answered. 

"Hunters seem to be gathering near the mountains in Silver Thorn and.. there also looks to be a group of rogues," The voice on the other end of the phone call exclaimed. Esme tensed at the mention of the hunters and some rogues. What the hell was going on? Esme opened her eyes and looked up at Gabriel; his face had hardened.

"What? Why.." Luther trailed off as he turned and stared back at Gabriel; his voice dropped to a whisper. "Aila Cross.. They want her don't they?"

What the fudge? Why was everyone after this girl? 

"Thanks for the info. Pull back for now. There is a dangerous second-generation vampire in the area," Luther ordered and hung up, pressing the lift button. He looked at Gabriel and shrugged, muttering quietly, "I couldn't exactly say first-gen vampire, your majesty."
