Marissa closed her hand around it. “I can’t believe it’s true.”
“What do you mean a sudden urge?” Evan asked suspiciously.
“The wolf found you here at the cabin. And unless myself, or one of your brothers told him where to find you, which I know I didn’t. Something doesn’t add up. There is only one other place the wolf could have gotten your location.”
“From a member of the council,” Evan asked incredulously. “No fucking way.”
“It wouldn’t be the first time the werewolf’s have infiltrated high level vampire ranks. I suspect there was tampering done with Marissa’s blood work as well. So do the senior council members.”
“Any ideas of who the guilty party is,” Evan asked.
Marcus shook his head grimly. “That would make this too perfect an ending, now wouldn’t it? And perfect doesn’t happen in my world. There always has to be a lose end.” He pushed to his feet. “Oh and the wolf got away. In light of his prior experience with a wolf’s betrayal, Troy appears exceptionally motivated to find him. And as usual, Aiden is trying to control Troy. Life is back, as we know it. I’ll leave you two to do whatever newly bonded vampires do together, and try not to use my imagination.” He disappeared.
Marissa gaped. “How did he do that?”
“One of the many mysteries that are Marcus,” he said, turning to face her. “How many vampire movies are you going to make me watch before you agree to marry me?”
She laughed. “I’ll make a list.” And then she kissed him –- and it was their first, shared vampire Kiss. A hot Vampire Kiss.
