The White Rose Association

Nastasia [II]

(Dresses on top)

"Mathew, you are Selene's husband? But Selene; isn't your last name Colt and if you're a vampire how can you also be part of the Association Mathew, the Headmistress or anyone else in the Association would never had allowed that, so how?" I asked shocked.

"Alice they're too many questions but let me see if I can answer them. Yes, I'm Selene's husband; we have been married for what twenty-two or twenty-three years?" Mathew said as he looked at Selene.

"Twenty-two years soon to be twenty-three." Selene said with a smile.

"And Colt is just an undercover last name Alice, something that Selene used so I wouldn't be discovered. Nastasia knows about Selene, her transformation and even the marriage but she never knew who was Selene's mate because we were very careful about that, my last name has always been Rusakov that is my real last name and it is also Selene's. I was raised in Russia and I graduated from the Falcon Academy of Russia, I was the best student of my class which was why I was a high option to be part of the Association as I concluded by five years of service as a hunter, I was a great hunter but I was and still am a vampire; my parents raised me to follow the true teachings of Anna Falcon, I became part of the Association so there could be some light in this whole dark lie of government that Nastasia and the others have made of the Association, I was also in charge of your mission which explains why I sent you to Selene since she knew exactly what to do." Mathew said explaining.

I started at him in awe.

"Mr. Rusakov did you knew that I was a vampire this whole time because Nastasia seemed to know as well as Jasper, so did you?" I asked him.

"Please call me Mathew, Mr. Rusakov sounds too formal but yes, I knew it Alice, I was actually a very good friend of your mother and a college of your father back then when the first war exploded; we had each other's back at that time." Mathew said with a smile.

"And we still do Matt." My dad told him.

"Alice, I came here because I heard what the intentions of the Headmistress are, what she wants to do with you." Mathew said as he looked at me.

"You heard about the trial then?" I asked him.

"Of course, I did, but don't worry that trial will never take place." Mathew said assuring me that everything would somehow be alright.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked him.

"It's rather complicated Alice that's why I came here; I need to speak to you privately." Mathew said as he met my gaze.

I nodded.

"Shall we go to the studio then?" I asked.

"If you must, it's very important." Mathew said as he gestured me to lead the way.

"Naomi, you and the rest please go with Eva, she will tell you how to perfectly use the weapons we will have tonight and after that I need you all to shower and to start to get ready." I told Naomi as I left.

I got to the studio with Mathew and leaned against the desk was near the window and huge bookshelves.

"What do you want to discuss Mathew?" I asked him.

"I have certain suspicious about the vampire attacks." Mathew said as he looked at me.

"Why?" I asked him confused.

"Most of the attacks even if they were sudden they were very well organized, the vampires knew which way was to the main doors and hallways, the principal rooms and all; they knew how the Academy operated internally as if the person who leaded the attack had been inside of the Academy before because they knew every single corner within the Academy." Mathew said explaining.
