Scott opened his eyes weakly and stared at the unfamiliar surrounding. Where was he? And why does he feel so weak?

“Are you back?” Scott heard a voice asked him. He turned his focus to where the voice had come from and saw Arden standing close to him.

“Hungry.” Scott croaked out.

Without a word, Arden stretched out his arm toward Scott,, and he fed hungrily. After he was done, Scott felt his powers coming back, and he sat up. He saw that Arden wasn't standing alone, Lucas was with him.

“What happened?” Scott asked them.

Lucas took his time to explain everything that had happened. He also explained what he thought could have been the reason for Scott state. After he was done, Scott sighed.

“Are you saying that her blood could be poisonous to vampires?” Scott asked Lucas.

“I don't know yet. It could be only to you. But, we will soon find out.” Lucas answered.

Scott was about to ask how when Arden brought out three injections of blood. If Scott was right, the blood belongs to that girl. And, he was about to be a test subject. Scott groaned. He wants to avoid experiencing that sort of feeling again. It was a terrible feeling, one that makes one wish death would come. But, he still needed to know, just in case.

Her blood. How did they get it?

“Where did you get that?” Scott asked.

“Arden went to the hospital to get it. You were a bit talkative in your unconscious state.” Lucas explained to Scott.

Scott watched as Lucas came near him and injected him with one of the blood injections. He watched as Lucas injected another one into Arden. Scott became afraid. If Lucas thinks something is wrong or right, then it is usually that way.

He hasn't finished the thought when Arden threw up some blood. Scott watched as he threw up some more. Scott didn't fail to see that Arden was already looking weak from just throwing up some blood.

Why wasn't he throwing up, though? Scott thought to himself just as the urge to puke sets in. He didn't bother to fight the urge, since he knew it was useless. He kept puking until he felt his intestines would come out too.

Lucas was already giving Arden something to drink. And soon enough, Arden's color came back. Scott on the other hand felt like death would win over him and he wouldn't be able to fight back . Lucas came over to him, giving him the something to drink as well. After a minute, he felt his body settled down.

“Just as I guessed. Her blood is poisonous to vampires.” Lucas said.

“Maybe it's because our blood is tainted. We don't know with true bloods, their system may be able to fight it.” Arden mumbled.

Lucas raised the third injection containing the blood up, telling them he was thinking the same thing, without using words.

“If I turned like you, just give me what's in that blue bowl. If I turned out worst, give me the yellow one. If I turned out milder than you, then give me the purple one.” Lucas told them as he injected himself.

For over a minute, nothing happened. As Scott breathed a sign of relieve, Lucas spit out some blood. In a matter of seconds, he turned gray. His fingers nails elongated, his fangs more define than usual. And, he was writhing about in his blood vomit.

Scott quickly picked up the yellow bowl and made him drink whatever was in it. In a minute, he was calmer. His nails had retracted, his fangs were back to their normal size and the blood throwing up had stopped, but, he was still in pain, tossing about. Scott picked up the purple bowl and gave it to him, which he drank. About five minutes later, he was calmer and better.

“How on earth is this possible? How could a human blood be so poisonous, even the true bloods can't resist it?” Scott asked Lucas and Arden.

“I don't know, man. But, one thing I know is the hunters should never find this out, or we are dead.” Arden answered, looking worried.

Arden was right. If the hunters knows about this, the vampires all over the world would be in danger. The human herself would be in danger.

The hunters have been after the vampires for centuries, for a reason the vampires know nothing about. But one thing Scott knows about the hunters was that they were out to wipe out the existence of the vampires. How the hunters knew that vampires exists was still a mystery none of them could figure out. Another baffling thing is, no one knows who the leader of the hunters was.

“What do you think she is?” Arden asked Lucas, who shooked his head to say he doesn't know.

Scott had thought nothing could move him anymore, until this. A mere human being? What could be in her blood to make it poisonous to vampires? And he was mated to that very same human? How on earth was he supposed to claim her then? Not that he had any urge to fulfill that part.

“We need to keep an eye on her.” Lucas said.

“True. Arden can do that.” Scott answered.

“I'm out on a mission for our laird. I'm taking the earliest flight to London tomorrow morning.”  Arden said.

Laird to vampires is what lord or king to humans mean.

“Let Kevin keep an eye on her then.” Scott suggested again.

“Kevin is going with me, Scott.” Arden told Scott.

What mission was the Laird after, for him to send two powerful vampires together? Not just any vampires, he was sending two tainted bloods. A vampire with a Fey's blood, and a vampire with a wolf blood. It must be a very dangerous mission.

“Who can now keep an eye on her?” Scott asked the duo before him.

When he didn't get any answer, he looked up. Only to find the two of them staring at him.

“I am not going anywhere near that human. I hate humans and you both know that.” Scott said, looking from one vampire to the other.

“You are the only vampire powerful enough that is available. And, you know a little about her. Besides, you are the only vampire who can alter his entire look.” Arden said.

“Besides, the secret can't be let out to everyone. It's a dangerous thing for the vampires. So, the less number of people who knows about it, the safer we can be.” Lucas said.

Scott hated to admit they were right, but there was nothing he could say. The secret has to be guarded. And if it were to be guarded, it has to remain between the three of them.

“Alright. I'll go. But, I need that mating bond broken first.” Scott finally said.

“I can break the bond, and you will be free from her. But, the next time the bond gets activated, you will be stucked with whoever the bond chooses. You won't be able to break the bond anymore.” Lucas told Scott.

Any other thing is acceptable to activate the mating bond again, compared to being stuck to the human girl.

Scott thought to himself.

“Then, let's get to work, shall we?” Scott said out loud.
