Wolves of Roma

Prince of Roma- Chapter 7

Wishing all my readers a very Happy New Year!

Chapter 7

------------

Palace of Roma, Roma.

Sebastian plopped in to the chair opposite to Roma on the other side of her desk.

She looked up from what she was reading, looking over her reading glasses at him.

"We have a problem" he started, grimly.

She raised her head at him giving him her full attention.

"The private contractors we hired? Two of them wound up dead. Necks broken, these guys were pretty heady duty guys themselves, ex-navy and all" he stated.

"Charles?" she asked.

"Most likely, definitely werewolves though." He voiced. From what he heard there were no marks of resistance on the bodies. There were marks on their wrists indicating they were being held.

"Do we know what happened?" Roma asked.

"Nope, but from the description I got, there was no fight involved, should have taken them by surprise." Sebastian summarized.

"What now?" she asked, trying to figure out their next course of action.

"I think he was sending us a message" Sebastian voiced his opinion "These guys were caught unaware, underestimated the enemy, they will not do it again. With two of their guys dead they will be out for blood, so I say we continue using them. I spoke to their boss, he is taking it personal. This should only help us in our cause."

"All right" Roma readily agreed.

"But, I am concerned" Sebastian said "This Charles is very, resourceful and I believe highly motivated. Were you able to identify any links?" He asked her.

"No. None what so ever, I looked at everything we had on every enemy we had. No Charles" Roma added.

"I could not find anything either, but there is a connection for someone to have such vendetta against us" Sebastian added.

Once Roma and Sebastian returned back from USA the first thing they did was to look back and identify all possible enemies they made. That itself was a challenge, Maxim Roma's consolidation of power was not peaceful, it had been bloody and messy and they made lot of enemies along the way. The real threats they neutralized without delay but, it was impossible to execute everyone that hated them, however convenient it would have been. They could not find any reference of this Charles character. They would not stop looking, Charles would be their number one priority until found and neutralized.

"He is planning something, that is for sure" Sebastian declared and added "And my fear is that with Maxwell in USA, he would be a prime target"

Roma rubbed her temple in frustration and sighed.

"What is his progress on his mate?" Sebastian asked "Can we get them both over?" he asked hopefully.

"The girl is skittish, these things cannot be rushed, Sebastian. As much you and I wish them to be" She said in resignation.

"Then we need to protect them proper. They are surrounded by enemies Roma and Nick just has enough people to keep an eye on his pack but the borders of Colorado are big and totally unguarded right now." Concern seeped in to his voice. There was real danger there.

"You think they will attack?" Roma asked.

"Not directly but I am sure there will be an attempt made. Now look at this piece of information I received from one of our guys" he said pulling out a piece of paper and handing it over to her "some of the scum of the American werewolf has gone missing. Either someone is doing a service by taking them out or...hiring them." Both of them knew what was more likely.
