My heart beat fast as I turned to face my uncle who I had heard so much about. William, the first and most powerful Lycan and I was mortified, embarrassed that it had come down to this moment. My father, Markus had always told me how my uncle was nothing but a monster.

Looking in my uncle's eyes I could see the loneliness that had haunted him all of these years. His breath came out in white puffs of air, it was a terribly cold night and the strange thing was that he held elegance like no other Lycan; he was also white as snow.

"Uncle?" I asked as if I was trying to get him to see his twin in me.

Like a dog he turned his head sideways as if he was confused. Then, howled and ran away.

Viktor was wrong about my uncle he still did have a soul and it was wrong to imprison him the way he did. What was I supposed to do now I was told to come back with the news that I had killed my own uncle, that way Viktor wouldn't be blamed for killing William. Cruel as it was to do it to my loving father I had to. God damn Viktor, if his daughter hadn't been my best friend years ago, I wouldn't even be in this fucking situation.

After Viktor had killed Sonja, because she was in love with Lucian and pregnant with his child, he decided to blackmail me (even though I did not do what he's blackmailing me for,) which was help Lucian escape after he murdered his daughter. So, here I was running a crazy vampire's errands. My father of course believed me, but Amelia wouldn't.

All I could do now was wait another hundred and thirty five years for my father but would I really want to do that? If I were to wake my father I would get in so much trouble with the council even if I was Markus' daughter.

So ready for the fire that would come from the bastard, I headed back.

One week later.

I arrived back home three days earlier, but avoided Viktor until then. I ran into him on the way to Kraven's room.

"Kiara."

"Viktor." I bowed slightly.

"Is he dead?" he asked me.

"I got lost in the mountains, I couldn't find the place, also since Lucian took the key there was no way I could have unlocked the door to kill him, I'm sorry," I apologized.

"Oh, right," he said zoning out. "Carry on."

I left him and walked to Kraven's room, this was before he supposedly killed Lucian and came to the point where he was trusted by Viktor. Kraven and I had always been good friends, always talking about everything; he was more of a girlfriend than a guy I could actually date. I just didn't think of him that way. That was before then, of course, after that he couldn't b trusted by anyone and everyone knew it.

"Kraven, I need to talk to you," I said knocking on his door.

He answered and I walked in. "What is it this time?"

I hesitated, not knowing if I could tell him about William, "Umm… never mind."

"Kiara, what's bothering you?" he always asked me when I would hesitate like that.

"He's loose, William, I don't know how and I don't know why he didn't attack me," I explained. Even if he didn't know what it was like to face your own uncle like an enemy he would still listen.

He was always kind to me, always talked to me when I was alone. I guess he's what kept me sane every two hundred years that I didn't get to see my father, my half brother, Jericho sure didn't.

Jericho, my scrawny older half brother, who had a very unsatisfied complex. He was always more worried about appearances than anything else, he didn't care about how Viktor was a malicious son of a bitch who was always in the wrong. Jericho was my brother even if I tried everything to deny it.

"William? Loose?" he asked in awe.

"Yes, I saw him with my own eyes," I told him. "I lied to Viktor and told him I got lost up in the mountains. I don't know what to do, if I wake my father I'll get in so much trouble. What do I do?"

For this Kraven had no answer and with that note I left. I was so unsure of myself right now and I knew the only one who had the answer was my father, so what choice did I have but to wake him. I went to the room where the elders were, Amelia, Viktor and Markus' lock boxes were in a triangle. I felt my heart beat speed up when I bent over my father's. I looked around to make sure no one was watching. No one was so I brought my wrist up to my mouth and bit. The blood started to dip and I put it over Markus' mouth thinking about when I saw my uncle.

"Father, please forgive me," I whispered as I started to shake feeling eyes on me.

"Kiara!"

I bolted around at the sound of Viktor's voice. Damn, I really got caught this time.

"Explain yourself," he demanded. "You know that only an elder can wake another."

"Yes," I said, "and the fact that I did this is because of you. You see things too differently." I stalked passed him and he turned following me in rage.

"Kiara! Don't walk away from me." He yelled.

"Sadly enough Viktor I am, I'm tired of you saying you'll tell people I did this and that so I would be your pet," I yelled back at him. "Not everyone comes to your beck and call!"

By this time I had a lot of others attention. This was awesome, because with all of the spectators, I could get away with almost anything. I'm sure my father would raise hell for this later but I had one last plan in mind for when I got to my room. When I got there I waited for the asshole to stand right outside of my door and when he did I slammed it in his face.
