Joanne’s POV I tried not to let what that woman said bother me, but I couldn’t help it. It wasn’t just vampires that attacked that village… It’s not just vampires that are the enemies we are up against… they’re werewolves as well. How did they even cross the borders without being detected, and how long had they been here for? Since Alpha Anthony? It’s mid-morning now, the sun barely cutting through the haze, but the air still feels heavy. My stomach, my chest, everything just feels heavy. There was a slight ache in my chest still that I knew was just anxiety; anxiety for the unknown… anxiety for Alexander. The more I thought of him, the more discomfort I felt. He should have been back by now; there should have been word about what had happened with the unit. George said a messenger
