Chapter Ten

“Yes, I know, but none of this makes sense. I thought you said we destroyed all the Cambion.” Tessa had been talking to her mother for almost a half an hour and was no closer to finding an answer than when she’d started.

“We thought we destroyed them all, but no one could be sure,” Vanessa Mooreland said for the second time. “As you well know, if they have never fed from a human Cambion can be incredibly hard to identify. And then there is the fact that we were not the only ones fighting them. Maybe someone else failed.”

“Wait a minute, what do you mean, we weren’t the only ones fighting them? How many of the damn things were there?”

“Tessa!” Her mother scolded. “You know I don’t like that kind of language.”

“Mother, please just answer my question. I’m way too old to be lectured about cursing and people are dying.” Tessa thought about screaming but knew it would be a waste of breath, so softly added, “Just tell me what happened. I need to help if I can.”

“As you wish, my dear. There were seven factions fighting the Cambion all over the world. Your great-grandfather, Antonio, and his Pride in South America, the dragons in the UK, Scotland and Australia, with vampires covering all of North America in three strategic strikes.”

“Why didn’t we know they were active all over the world?” Tessa tried not to accuse as she questioned her mother, but it was hard considering Vanessa never seemed to tell any of her children the whole story about anything.

Sighing, Tessa’s mother scoffed, “It was a need to know and your Uncle Ulnac decided you didn’t need to know.”

“Mother,” Tessa growled. “That is not a good answer. Did dad know?”

“Well, of course, he did.” Her mother sounded astonished that Tessa would ask and added, “Your uncle does nothing without consulting your father. You know that?”

“Right, and my name is Tinkerbell,” the Vaepanther mumbled under her breath.

“What did you say, darling?” Vanessa inquired in a sing-songy voice.

“Oh, nothing, mother.” Then quickly changing the subject, Tessa asked, “Is dad around?”

“No, dear, he’s away on business. I can have him call you when he gets back.”

Tessa was just about to answer when her mother uncharacteristically interrupted, “Oh, Tessa, dear, your sister, Amara wants to talk to you.”

“Put her on.”

“Okay, darling, take care of yourself.”

“I will, mom. Thank…”

Tessa was still talking when her younger and much more exuberant sister squealed, “Oh my Goddess, Tessa, have you found him? Have you met your mate?”

“Well, hello to you too, Amara. How are you? Nice to hear from you, too.” Tessa chuckled as her sister’s giggle floated through the phone. The youngest Mooreland daughter was always happy, always bubbly and always, without a doubt her older sister’s biggest cheerleader.

“Sorry, sis. I’m just so excited to hear all about your mate. Is he tall? Handsome? A panther? A vamp? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!”

Not wanting to dampen her sister’s exuberant mood, Tessa put as much happy
