Rhylor [The Ultima Manhunt B2]

Chapter 9 - The Summoning |Part Two|

Location: Blackstone Cove.
City: Unknown.

The little girl drops his hand as Blade falls on his back. He scrambles to his feet in a heartbeat before glaring at the girl.

"Where are we?" he asks aloud.

"You are at Blackstone Cove in the city of Redding." someone answers.

Blade looks behind them and quickly spots an elderly man walking up to them with a raven haired man behind him. He eyes the second man, noting to himself how he had light brown eyes and seems to appear angry.

"May I introduce myself to you, young Alpha?" the elderly man asks Blade.

"Uh..." he clears his throat. "Sure."

"Good! I am Gerald, Alpha of Blackstone Cove. The man behind me is our Grand Alpha, David." Gerald says and beams.

Blade blinks. That's the Grand Alpha?! The one who summoned me? He quickly gathers himself and bows in respect.

"Stand up, Alpha." the Grand Alpha tells Blade.

He stops bowing and looks directly at David.

"Lassi!" David calls out loudly.

A werewolf hybrid runs into the room and bows lightly for a split second then fixes her posture.

"Yes, my Alpha?" she asks as her eyes catch Blade. "Is that the Blood Alpha?"

"What's it to you?" Blade snaps.

"Damn. Calm down. I was just curious." Lassi replies and turns to attention to David. "Alpha, would you like me to do a test?"

She whispers the entire sentence into David's ear as he shakes his head. "Not now." he answers.

"What test, are you talking about?" Blade growls angrily.

Lassi and David both turn their bodies to stare at him, as does Gerald. "You heard that?!" Lassi shrieks.

"He must be a Lycan werewolf then." Gerald smirks. "Fascinating."

David glares at Gerald quickly then sighs. "The only way he'd be a Lycan Werewolf is...." he trails off as his brain registers the reason.

"Is what?" Lassi asks with a confused expression on her face.

"...is if he's my son." David whispers. "Alpha, follow me; would you?"

He starts walking out of the room and down the hallway. Blade raises an eyebrow as he slowly follows behind. Gerald and Lassi trail after him until David opens a door to another room.

(With Alina - three hours later)

Where is Blade? Alina sighs as she jumps into her mother's car. Blade's supposed to stay after but since he just up and leaves the class; she is able to head home with Aphmau.

Her mother suddenly stops the car and leans her head on the steering wheel.

"Are you okay, Mom?" Alina asks aloud.

"Honestly? I'm worried. Blade stormed out of class and Aaron and I have been trying to contact him for hours." Aphmau replies.

"Why hasn't he answered back?" Alina questions mentally.

Aphmau starts the car again and drives down the road. She keeps driving until another car comes to an abrupt stop, forcing her to come to a screeching halt.
