stay and comfort my long-time friend and ally, but I knew he needed me gone. I vowed to protect her legacy and nurture them. I assumed that part was for me as Vex was originally the father of their daughter Sherra,” he said.
    “But that part of the prophecy was for you, not Vex.” I pointed out.
    “Yes. Though before that I had tracked down and killed the wolves and vampires involved. It was unknown to us at the time that they were under a witch's spell. Regardless, I killed them and any who were involved in killing Carra’s descendants. Vex mourned in the shadows for many, many years. I knew where he was, I let him be. What I did was look after and help the descendants as they came. Vex got wind of this thanks to Lachlan. He decided to meet me one day. We talked for hours. I had told him of my successes and failures in helping protect his bloodline. Some grew to old age others were just as young as your mother. Then Lachlan simply said, ‘What if it’s the witches?’ We had never even thought about them. Eba and Sab’s line flourished through time. They didn’t need our help anymore, so we let them be. Unchecked.” He stopped and took another mouthful of his drink.
    “So you learned that it was the witches all along,” I asked.
    “Yes, I felt pain in my chest from all the lives I had taken in revenge. Yet, after that, Vex and I decided to work together. Two had to be better than one, right? He wanted me to create another Alpha, but I refused. That is when he created Brandon and Dustin. They were homeless, living in the slums of London when he had found them. He saved their life by giving them a new one to help us. We might be immortal, but we are still at our core simply human. Life can get tiring after you have lived it for thousands of years. After many failed and some successful attempts, we had Julie. She was absolutely the most gorgeous woman I had ever laid my eyes on. All the decedents were beautiful, but there was something about Julie that just stole my breath every time I looked at her. Vex saw it, but he left me with her anyways,” he said. He had a glaze over his eyes that seemed to grow darker.
    “Did she know what you were?” I wondered aloud.
    “Yes. I told her the second day I saw her. I just told her everything. That is how you remind me of her; you were pretty much the same when you found out. She thought it was completely nuts, but she just went with it. I did prove to her what I was and she did not run or hide. She embraced me for the beast I was.”
    A smile came at the corner of my lips.
    “This is where things went wrong Trinity. We actually lived together for four years. I wasn’t aging, but she was. She hated it. She said she would not want me to stay with her if she kept looking older. I sensed something was different that something had changed with her. It never crossed my mind that she was pregnant. One day I came home from going on a run and she was gone. A note was left and all it said was, ‘Until I can live forever, we will be apart. I will look for someone that will change me,’” he sighed. Then looked up at me with dread. “She had gone looking for someone to change her because I refused to. I didn’t know what would happen to her if I did, I didn’t want to risk losing her, but as a result, I did anyways. For months, we tried to find her and track her down. One night Lachlan came barrelling in the door saying she had been admitted to a hospital in Redcliff two days before. We took off as fast as we could.” He sucked in a deep breath then said, “We found her near the hospital holding a baby blanket. She had been murdered and just left there. I lifted her lifeless body up and carried her to the emergency room. I knew she was already gone,” a tear rolled down his cheek.
    It looked so strange watching it slide down on his face. He looked so tough, so mean, and fearless as though nothing could break through.
    He wiped it away and continued, “Lachlan had found
