No, that couldnât be possible!
The world was filled with countless people, and the combined strength of werewolves and witches was immense.
They couldnât be wiped out so easily.
I clenched my fists.
Sensing my distress, Damien asked, âWhatâs scaring you, Caleb? Even if he is a vampire, weâve still got him captured.
â
I exhaled, feeling somewhat defeated.
âI just hope heâs the only one, but Iâm worried there might be more out thereâ¦â
âIf they dare to show up, weâll just catch them too!â Damien declared confidently.
I didnât respond.
Regardless, our plan was to catch any of them we could.
We could interrogate this one to prepare for any horrors that might come next.
I pushed down the anxiety swelling inside me, lifted my foot, and forcefully stepped on the back of the manâs hand.
âAh! You damn werewolf!â
The manâs face twisted horribly, and he let out a miserable scream.
I ignored his cries.
Looking into his bloodshot eyes, I asked in a frosty tone, âAre you a vampire? Why did you suddenly show up in the Thorn Edge Pack?â
A hush fell over the crowd when I mentioned the word âvampire.
â
âAlpha, what do you mean?â
The patrol members were in disbelief.
They stared at me, eyes wide, their unease growing.
Even Carlos looked astonished.
âVampire? Are you kidding me?â
Before I could reply, the young man I had tasked with collecting the bottle shards blurted out, âAlpha, how can this man be a vampire? Vampires donât exist in reality.
â
âThatâs right,â another chimed in.
âEveryone knows vampires are just fictional.
How can one appear here? Are you losing your senses because youâre so angry?â
The group started to get louder, voicing their doubts about my suspicion.
âAlpha, vampires are just myth.
This guy must just resemble one.
â
Some even speculated that the suspect was engaged in some bizarre role-playing, dressing as a vampire to commit crimes.
Their theories grew increasingly absurd, and I couldnât take it anymore.
I pressed my fingers to my temples and shouted, âEnough!â
At that, they finally shut their mouths.
The surroundings finally quieted down.
I continued to stare at the man and said icily, âTell me the truth.
I know youâre a vampire.
What I really want to know is how you ended up in the Thorn Edge Pack to commit murder.
