Good news and bad news

Ana

Christian and Dante returned home after their trip and gathered everyone in the kitchen.

"What did you find out?" Erik asked.

"Besides, Silas can kill anyone, not much," Dante said with a shrug.

Erik glared at Dante.

I stepped between Erik and Dante. "Will you two behave?"

"Tell this bloodsucker to watch it," Erik said.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Dante. "Behave."

Dante rolled his eyes.

"What did you find out, Dad?" Martin asked.

"Silas produces a venom deadly to the supernatural world. Any bite will kill a supernatural creature. As a wolf, he will need to mark his mate but kill his mate if he does."

"What happens if Silas kills his mate?" Erik asked.

"There's been a few times when a wolf killed his mate, and it didn't end well for the wolf."

"What do you mean?"

"Our mating creates a bond. If the wolf destroys the bond, it will become rogue and turn on its pack. We have had packs decimated because a wolf turned on its pack. I had to kill the rogue wolf since I was the alpha."

"Is there anyone who can stop an alpha?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

"A king."

We looked at Silas as he slept on the floor with his butt sticking up in the air.

"Wait. Are you telling us that Silas is a king?" Martin asked.

Christian nodded.

"How is that possible?"

"Because Erik is one."

We looked at Erik with raised brows.

"Erik became king when he and Ana had Silas. Since Silas is a tribrid, it makes Erik extremely powerful. Erik's word became law amongst the packs."

"That still doesn't answer our question. How do we keep Silas from killing his mate?" Erik asked.

"I need to investigate more to figure out a way for Silas to keep Silas's mate alive." Christian retreated to his office, leaving us with more questions than answers.

Abigail

I worked with Rory, teaching them right and wrong. As I trained Rory to adapt, I cast a spell to determine its supernatural powers.

"What did you find out?" Hilda asked me.

"Rory is half vampire and half Dreamweaver."

"How is that possible? Dreamweavers can't reproduce. They're dead."

I walked to a bookcase and pulled a book as Rory played with their toys on the living room floor. After flipping to a page, I handed the book to Hilda. Hilda took the book from me and scanned the page.

"The powers that be had created a world to receive the supernatural dead. When a supernatural creature dies, they get cast into an alternate world. They became the guardians of dreams while people slept. Their job was to protect humans from harm or death while slumbering."

"So, what happened?"

"A witch cursed a man after he raped, pilfered, and slaughtered her coven. He became a void of darkness and despair to live eternity that way. Tempus found a witch, hoping to reverse the curse. When the witch failed, he created the Tempus witches. A single touché transferred the curse to the witch."
