Chapter 370

It had been a little over a week since I’d been able to compel Greyson, but I hadn’t done anything like
that since. Mason and Xander had been called to take part in the leadership council, which had been
taking up a lot of their time, and I knew my grandfather and Charlotte were also busy with that.
Zane had been finding ways to spend his time, and so had Gabriela. The children were all in school. I
was the only one without a specific task or job. I was starting to get really bored.
At the same time, I was glad to have the time to figure out what, exactly, I wanted to do about all of this
new power I could feel burbling up inside of me. After seeing how it made my mates feel to watch me,
and knowing how it had made me feel after, I wasn’t really that eager to have Malachi test me again.
In fact, I was kind of nervous about it.
The only way to stop yourself from worrying about something was to make sure you knew as much as
you could about everything that could go wrong. My mom had told me that once, a long time ago, and
I’d never forgotten it. At the time, I’d thought she was being too overprotective, maybe even a little bit

Today I’d decided I was going to start setting goals for myself. The enclave had so many resources
available. Libraries crammed full of books, a computer cafe where you could access the internet that
was blocked in much of the rest of the place, and even classes you could sign up for. Because there
were so many types of supernaturals living here, I was far from the only one who didn’t know a lot
about the different ways things worked.
Of course, only the wolves had been specifically kept in the dark, but I wasn’t going to let that keep me
back any more. I had a wealth of information at my fingertips, and I was going to start learning.
But first….a meat pie.
I
There were things I didn’t love about living here-not having my own “stuff” for example. Our rooms were
grand, but I missed having a yard. Trees.
The food, however, was amazing. Plenty of it, and I never had to lift a finger to cook it.
I’d stopped at the main library on the way to this cafe and found a few texts on the history of vampires. I
figured I’d try to learn as much as I could about that side of me. I had another book about vampire
physiology and psychology, too. There wasn’t an equivalent book for wolves, and the only information
I’d been able to pull
on hybrids was more like a pamphlet than a full research book. It was a start, at least.
up
I ordered my meat pie and a lager, then dove into the books. I’d brought my own notepad, and as I bent
over the words on the page, I scribbled my thoughts down. I made a little chart and a diagram as things
started to become more clear to me.
So much to learn, so much to know. And the High Council had kept all of it from me.

Chapter 370
Hatred burned in my gut like a volcano when I thought about how arrogant they’d been. And how st
upid, too. To think they could hide an entire world of history from us because…why? Wolf psychology
meant we
trusted our leaders?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVampires didn’t run in packs. They formed groups, usually family based, but it wasn’t the same. The
Ancients were more powerful, but they didn’t rule over everyone the way our Alphas did. I found it
fascinating. especially when I started to read about how vampires mated. How they reproduced.
How they made other vampires.
I hadn’t been thinking much about Braden and Malachi being together because it still kind of squicked
me out. But I did want to find out if I would be able to turn anyone into a vampire. I didn’t want it to
happen by accident, that much I knew for sure, and I really didn’t know how I felt about the idea that if I
ever did do it, that new vampire would have to rely on me for everything for an untold number of years.
Since vampires were basically immortal, it could even be centuries.
“Way more responsibility than having a pup,” I murmured to myself as I flipped the book’s pages.
Of all the subjects I’d been studying, this was the one that didn’t seem to have much information about
it
at all. That’s when I saw the chapter I needed. I had to stifle my gasp at what I saw there.
