Chapter 192: Accomplice?

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

After Mona breastfed Felix in the middle of the night, the two of them went back to sleep.

I got out of bed and gingerly took something from my coat pocket that was hanging in the closet. Then I went into the bathroom and locked the door.

After I tore off the black card in my hand, a person appeared before me.

But the appearance of the person had shocked me because I wasn’t looking at Annabel but a slim man. The only thing they had in common was that they both had flamboyant blue hair.

“Alpha, it’s two o’clock in the morning!” The sleepy man seemed to be a little displeased with me.

“Lower your voice! Who the hell are you?” asked I in a hushed voice.

“Shouldn’t you know? You’re the one who summoned me. I’m Annabel. Oh wait, actually, I’m Herbert now.”

“Why did you become a man?”

“That b*stard killed me.” His answer was short and to the point. “If I knew that men would get erections for no reason in the morning, I would have chosen a female identity.”

“What the hell? You were killed?”

“I did as you said and handed Nicholas the information. Then, I simply wanted to persuade him not to kill dark wizards anymore but he was an animal. He killed me so easily! Oh, more accurately, he had killed my clone. “So I had to change into another person to make him think that he had successfully killed me.”

“Annabel… Herbert… you’ve lived for so many years, but you were killed so easily by Nicholas?”

“My clone’s ability is weaker than mine, but to be honest, my clone is far from being able to catch up with his speed. I can’t even see where he would appear in my room to attack me, and his vampire venom works very quickly.”

“So he took the photo? And you told him what I asked you to say before?”

“Yes, Alpha. Although he was very arrogant, one thing I was sure of was that he was a complete idiot when dealing with magic. He didn’t even realize that it was my clone he was dealing with and that there was something wrong with the photo.”

“So did you see his accomplice?”

“Unfortunately, I didn’t. The magic I could cast on the photo only lasted 24 hours. Once I confirmed that he had left my studio, I activated my crystal ball. If he showed the photo to anyone within 24 hours, they would appear in my crystal ball. But nothing turned up within a day. Who told you he might have an accomplice?”

“That’s none of your business.”

I was frustrated. When I first learned from Alonso and then Annabel that Nicholas couldn’t sense magic, I thought of a good way to lure him in. It was my best chance of finding his lair and his accomplice ahead of time, but the news that Herbert brought disappointed me.

“Alright, Nicholas has always been an arrogant vampire. He will not allow other vampires to be stronger than or have the same power as him. If he is willing to recruit accomplices, then he must be a person of considerable weight, someone as vicious as him, someone he can trust. But I guess such a person doesn’t exist. Moreover, based on how slowly he is moving, he must not be in a hurry to find the Werewolf of Chaos. He didn’t come the moment I told him I had leads either. It seems like he’s just looking for her while he’s at it, or perhaps he’s not too willing to find her too quickly.”

“I understand. Is there anything else you want to say?”

“Not at the moment, Alpha.”

“Then you can leave.”

“Promise me that you’ll kill that b*stard. If you need the dark wizards to do anything, we will be willing to help,” said Herbert.

“I’ll be in touch again if I need anything,” said I.

After Herbert disappeared, I headed back to the bed. Fortunately, Mona and Phil were still asleep.

As I lay next to my sweetheart, I pondered over what Herbert had said. Why didn’t Nicholas want to find Rose as soon as possible?

Either way, it was good news for us. Rose could receive more training just in case, and my pack and the other elite werewolf warriors would have more time to prepare for battle.

But if Rose’s hunch was right, that Nicholas had an accomplice who could it be then? What about the rumors of this vampire’s arrogance and narcissism?

I was immediately shocked by my own thoughts, and a sense of worry began to creep into my mind.

It would be a lover or a descendant.

Or it might be someone who wasn’t a vampire at all.
