Chapter Nine

The first moment, when Melanie realized that something was wrong, was when she looked up and saw that there were no patrons, aside from them, in the restaurant any more. Even the wait staff seemed to have disappeared without a trace. The sudden silence came as a noticeable change from the volume that had been in the restaurant up until then. She heard Manu let out a gentle huff, followed by him cursing softly under his breath.

“I should have known.”

“What?” Melanie asked, but her answer came in the form of the front door to the restaurant being thrown open, and multiple men dressed in dark cloaks burst into the room. “What's going on?”

“Isn't it obvious?” came a feminine voice from the doorway. Melanie's heart sank in her chest as her eyes fell on Selena. The green-eyed woman was smiling coldly and the gaze she fixed on Melanie was filled with hatred. “Now that the two of you have discovered my secret, you can't very well just walk out of here alive.”

“Selena, why? I thought you were a shifter like the rest of us,” Manu said, pushing himself out of his seat and rising to his feet. “How could you do this to us?”

“Me? A dirty shifter like the rest of you?” Selena's laugh didn't hold a speck of amusement – the sound coming out harsh and twisted. “If I had even a speck of your mongrel blood flowing through my veins, I would have thrown myself from a bridge years ago.” She spoke with such vitriol that Melanie couldn't help but wince slightly.

“I thought you were one of us, Selena. I thought you wanted humans and shifters to live together,” Manu said, his hands clenched into trembling fists at his side now. “You told me that you wanted to do it for your sister.”

“Oh, do you mean the sister that was killed and raped by one of you shifters?” Selena asked softly, the hatred in her eyes burning ever brighter as she spoke. “You expected me to want to keep a race of brutes safe, who use their abilities to consistently break the law and harm others? Don't make me laugh. This was just a cushy job that I would have been stupid not to take advantage of. And then, I was approached by someone who was willing to pay me far more than I would ever make here. All I had to do in return was to give the government the location of headquarters. Seemed like a pretty good deal to me. Now I can sit back and watch as every last one of you monsters are hunted down and exterminated like the rabid beasts that you are, and I will finally have peace of mind.”

Melanie finally managed to find her voice, her eyes narrowing gently. “Were you the one who leaked that I was a shifter to the Enforcers? Is that why they came after me at work?”

Selena's smirk was one of the ugliest, most twisted things Melanie had ever seen.
