LUKE'S POV.
A shudder rippled through me as I watched the dead Lycan. He was gone.
Just like that.
No one noticed; no one knew.
"What's our next line of action? This is definitely the work of a vampire." Elvis said, with a burning gaze, and my jaw clenched.
A vampire had dared to walk into the Palace, launch an attack on Esme, and had killed a Lycan Alpha. The audacity.
"Bar all entrances and exits. The vampire mustn't leave this place tonight. Trace the scent. Make sure the vampire is found tonight." I commanded. "Gather the men, secure the hall, and let none of them catch wind of what is going on yet. Inform Estel and Drake. Have them meet me in the garden now. Also, have the maids clean up the body, and take proper care of it till the morning."
With that, I strutted away, heading to the garden. On my way, I snatched a sword from an empty armor, holding it fiercely in my hand.
