LUKE'S POV.
"Hilda!" I screamed again, and was about to prepare another when a door swung open. I skidded to a halt.
There was Hilda, standing there in her night dress, a perplexed look on her face. She looked like she'd been deeply asleep.
"What's the problem? Did anything happen? Why are you calling with such terror in your voice?" She asked, looking like she wanted to drag the answers from my mouth.
A sigh of relief broke through me, and I sagged against the wall.
"A vampire is in the Palace. It killed an Alpha tonight. I wanted to make sure you were fine."
Hilda cracked a little smile, and looked at me from head to toe.
"A vampire? He or she must have quite the audacity. Walking into a palace full of Alphas is like walking into a death trap, but you didn't need to worry. No vampire can come in here."
