BLOOD and Revenge

Chapter 21: Calling All The Monsters

"Hello sir. I had received a call that you may have a bit of an infestation problem," I said with a sense of modesty. I had followed the address that had been on the envelope and managed to find out that they are having a bit of a roach problem. Although it was roaches that they were needing exterminated, the chemicals they requested were interesting indeed. Vervain.

Oh they had an 'infestation' but it was only to prepare for vampires. Wolves are so rude.

"Ah yes, please do come in. I want to discuss the price and where to spray." I nodded, acting like the one in charge when I was the only one with the exterminator's truck. I'm getting tired of this undercover crap.

As I sat down in the neighboring alpha's office, I felt the true power of an alpha with his ducks in a row. Not only was his office organized and clean but his desk was free of papers other than a few frames that housed photos of his mate and pups. As well as his office and house in general, he himself cleaned up well but even if I was to use my power on him to drag him to bed, he would not cheat on his mate no matter what I could do to him.

If only some other alpha was like him...

"So as it stands, I would like for every house within a two mile radius to be sprayed. Door ways, windows, everything. We have good word that there is roaches that are spreading all over so I want to be extra prepared for when it will hit." I smiled at him sweetly and pulled out the billing statement that had already been in the truck. I wrote down a few numbers, and calmly asked him,

"How many houses is that exactly? For things like this, we do it by house." I had written down the numbers that it would cost for one house. Like the last pretend employee I had been, I had played along to a dance that was easy but for me to stay safer in this pack's land, I had to be extra attentive to the slightest change in attitude or speech.

"In all, there is about fifty or so houses but the large one is more of a family house for more than just one person and can house up to one hundred people. That is about the size of a four story hotel. That should be about all." Well, didn't take long to find their pack house. As I wrote down the numbers for fifty or so houses, I wanted to whistle at the price that came up.

"For services rendered and the special use of chemicals, plus the amount of houses, you are looking at about eight thousand two hundred dollars." The man opened a drawer and started counting hundreds one by one in front of me like it was nothing. When he reached eight thousand five hundred, I paused him.

"Uh, it is only eight thousand two hundred." He nodded to me and continued until he hit nine thousand.

"The extra is a tip for keeping the area and the people I care about safe. Hopefully in the future we may rely on you again." He handed the cash over to me and without so much as a blink of an eye thanked him.

"Please do note that it will take more than just I to accomplish this task within the time frame you requested. I will need at least two able bodied people to help me as the rest of the company is busy with other matters." No sooner had I finished the words when two large males strode in, their heads down at first in a slight greeting to their alpha.

"Gunther and Damien will assist you and escort you about the grounds. This is a tight community so they know the area well and will be able to tell which houses have already been completed." I didn't miss the word 'escort' as he meant it in the way that they will watch a human roaming about their territory with vampire repellent.

"Understood. Thank you for your services sir," I stood and shook his hand, my power holding up well and watched as his features softened and even became brighter.

"Thank you. And please, call me Cole," he said. I gave him a genuine smile that did not include fangs and followed all three of them back out to my truck where they watched with interest as I gathered up the jugs of vervain. With every jug I hooked up to a sprayer, I vaguely remembered that a single drop of this could burn me and my secret would be exposed to these puppies.
