The blood drained from my face as I stared at the news report. It couldn't be. It just couldn't.
But the woman on the screen, her lifeless face staring back along with an old picture of her was undeniably familiar.
Lupe's mother.
A gasp escaped my lips, long and strained. This couldn't be happening. Not again. Not after everything else poor Lupe had just been through.
Who could be doing this to us?
To our pack? Everyone knew these recent killings weren't the works of vampires as those would drop dead should they ever taste our blood.
Liam, who was oblivious to the turmoil brewing inside of me, turned to me with wide eyes. "Look, Megami," he said, pointing at the screen. "Isn't that… isn't that Lupe's mom?"
My throat tightened, the air suddenly suffocating. Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring the image on the screen. "Y-yes," I choked out. "It is."
