Blood Rush (Blood Breed #2) (28 page)

As he held the dagger, he glanced at himself in the mirror. He felt more power than he had ever felt. His kind had guarded the dagger for centuries, and he had no intention of breaking that tradition, for if it got into the wrong hands, the very destruction of the world was foretold.

It was time to pass on its protection to someone whose lineage had kept it safe. Not only that, but the male who would watch over it would bring their people back together. It was the only way.

If not for those two deaths all those years ago, the dagger would still be in their safekeeping. He walked back over to his desk and sat down. The weight of it felt good in his hand. It made him feel strong and indestructible.

Piece by piece their kind was coming back together. Families were being reunited, but there were still those out there missing. Day and night, his ranks were out there searching, but more times than not, they came back empty-handed. It was starting to take its toll on everyone.

He picked up his phone and heard it ring once before the female on the other line answered.

“Yes, Alpha Aedan?”

“Send him in. I have something very important for him to do.”
