————————————————————————————

Veronica let her gold-ish blonde hair billow around her head, upset that she still couldn’t dig up anything on Dawn. She had been trying for hours, and still hadn’t come up with anything at all.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on her door. She turned around seething, and seeing the guard snapped, “What do you want? You know you shouldn’t be here when I am focusing!”

The guard bowed his head, and said hesitantly, “I have two things to tell you. One, it’s almost midnight; and two, I think I may have found something on that girl you are looking at, Dawn Starlight Lupus.”

“Really?” Veronica jumped up with excitement, so happy that she had found a plausible and acceptable lead. 

The guard shuffled his feet nervously, asking, “So, which one are you replying to?” And when Veronica narrowed her gaze, she assumed he immediately knew what she wanted to hear.

He cleared his throat anxiously, and she had no idea why he was so nervous, but let him continue. He managed to stutter out quite a lot before his swelling Adam’s apple choked him up, “S-so… umm-m my lady, she is ap-pparen-ntly rela-ated to a-a… a lady named ‘Greta Rosé O’day’ who was re-po-ortedly di-ivorced from a ma-an named ‘Mark Sirman O’day’ a-and…” he trailed off.

He didn’t have to finish his sentence as Veronica entered the name into her computer. She was expecting some poor guy who was horrible, and broke, and looked horrendously ugly; but not the ripped, handsome man with silver hair well into his forties. And she had certainly not expected the note at the bottom of the profile.

“Warning: A dangerous man who is certified 100% Werewolf. It is likely that all offspring will be wolves too. Still not captured. Killed two men, Frank Friths and Gordon Friths, and mauled Gordon’s brother, Jeremy Friths’s leg.”

She felt herself boil with anger, like stony basalt that had been heated up so much it turned into lava, and slowly rose to the top of the cauldron, exploding out in a great tide of fury. She didn’t even care that the guard ran out of her room sobbing like his brother had been killed by a wolf. Dawn’s dad had hurt and killed part of her family. She would always remember the funeral, the empty spaces at family dinner. She was only certain of one thing, Dawn would pay for her father’s mistakes.

She would make Dawn’s world come crashing down.
