The headmaster felt a fluctuation of energy in the infirmary and opened his eyes.
After several days of being unconscious, their guest seemed to be awakened and trying to remove his restraints.
Cleaning his throat, Vincent waited for the vampire hybrid to look at him.
The individual froze and slowly turned his head to the werewolf.
“Where am I? What do you want from me?”
Plastering on a smile, Vincent greeted him, “Welcome to the land of the living.”
The hybrid grumbled and dropped his head on his pillow with a sigh.
Vincent hummed and folded his arms. “You don’t seem happy to be alive.”
“I got my revenge. My life has no more meaning.”
“Are you talking about the vampires that attacked my school? I appreciate your help. Though, I’ll need to ask you a few questions about who they were and what they were doing here.”
Noah looked at the headmaster. “Is that why you saved my life?”
Vincent offered him a lopsided grin. “You helped us. I decided to return the favor.”
He scoffed. “That’s because you have no idea of who I am, or you’ll kill me on the spot.”
“Make no mistake, my child”—Vincent got up and pulled at the cuffs of his tailored black suit— “I know perfectly well who you are. In fact, I have a proposition that might please you. I’ll call the doctor and have him bring you to my office once they make sure you are able to stand.”
Vincent walked to the door.
“Wait,” Noah requested.
Vincent turned around.
Noah seemed conflicted about speaking.
The headmaster frowned.
“The girl. The one who was by my side while I was recovering. Who is she?”
Vincent’s face became sober. “No one you should worry about. We’ll talk about all of your doubts and your future in a few moments.”
The headmaster left and followed the corridor to the stairs. His granddaughter was at college and wouldn’t be home before nightfall. He had plenty of time to assess that assassin’s worth and come up with a plan to keep both of them from doing something stupid in the name of love.
Not that he believed that the cold beast in the infirmary would care about a mate bond. But his granddaughter cared.
He would make the hybrid care about it, too.
