I stifled a yawn as we entered the training room, only having gotten three hours of sleep before we were woken for a training session with Master Wilson. Ekon hadn’t moved his bed away from mine, but he still hadn’t spoken to either me or Sofia. Our beds had been together from our first night at the Guild, and that seemed like the final step he would take to put the lid on our friendship. I could see how much it hurt her each time she looked at him from across the room.

He stood with his arms crossed, a blank expression on his face. He watched as Master Wilson joked around with Ryder and Brielle, Hailey standing beside them. I was happy to see a light in her eyes and even her hair was back to being annoying shiny and straight again. One day I would ask her how she kept her hair so perfect.

It can’t be natural.

“Have you had any more luck with your research?” I asked Axel as I leaned against the wall.

He nodded. “I found some archives in the library, but they didn’t include much regarding interrogation techniques. What I did find about the early days was quite displeasing to be honest.” He lowered his voice and Sofia and I both leaned in to hear him better. “It appears that they used less than savory methods of extracting information when the Guild was originally formed. There were images of what I could only describe as torture chambers. It all seems quite brutishy.”

“Why would they be torturing them?” I asked, my energy tingling along with my anger. A few stray wisps of light swirled out of my fingertips.

Axel looked around before continuing. “From what I read, there was an attempt at vampire genocide from the humans about three hundred years ago. When the Guild was originally established, they didn’t work in the dark. They gathered all of their supporters and went after as many vampires as they could.” He shuddered. “I don’t know how they were able to successfully hide something like that, but after their failure, they went into hiding and worked from the shadows, only killing those deemed dangerous.”

“I have a feeling that isn’t the only thing they are hiding from us,” I said, crossing my arms.

Master Wilson interrupted me before I could continue, calling us to the middle of the room. We joined the rest of the initiates on the mats and Hailey caught my eye, giving me a small smile.

“How many calories do you think he needs to eat every day to keep up his physique?” Ryder whispered into my ear.

I shrugged, my gaze switching from Ekon to our new Master of combat. Even through his black fatigues, his muscles were outlined as they strained against the material.

“At least a cow or two, along with five tons of protein powder,” I replied.

Ryder chuckled as Master Wilson began to speak.

“Now is your chance to show me that the Guild didn’t make any mistakes recruiting you lot.
