The phone call ended with a sharp piercing scream. My heart knocked against my ribcage. Josh? What happened to Josh? Was he hurt? The fact that Scarlet was with Father sprung beads of sweat on my forehead. If she hurt Josh, Kyle would be enraged. That could not happen. Lord knew what he would do.
Not to mention what would happen if she hurt Father. What if she had known Father was away and wanted to start the attack with the head of the vampire community? Father was a strategist. He lived with a witch for centuries. Taking him down was not an easy task. No doubt Scarlet knew this. If she killed Father, she would have weakened the High Council. Between Father and the alpha, they were the most powerful. One would say Mr. Watt was powerful. Still, he lacked patience. He often allowed anger to get in the way. In certain battles, one must remain calm and calculating to achieve success.
