I can see that the boys at the next table are all silent. They heard what he said, and this is it. It is more frightening when it is in your face. The time is up, and we will have to engage them tonight. I want to wrap up my children in my arms and kiss them and tell them that everything will be fine, but I can’t, the words are caught in my throat. There is nothing that I can do other than kill Graham and make his forces falter without him. That won’t be happening. He is planning on bringing in rogues, both werewolves and vampires. He knew we have Anton here, and he is trying to make sure that he has him outnumbered. Fear is a real thing, and when it is your family at risk, it can break you down quickly. I am fighting to not let it swallow me whole right now. I can see the fear on everyone
