***Prologue***
Everyone knows how the war started now and the kinds that were involved: Lycans and Vampyres but what if there was a third immortal kind that was more powerful that Lycan and Vampyre combined called the Annexes, but what if the Annexes just stood on the sidelines for centuries watching the war and doing nothing?

Selene and Michael ran down the subway tunnel with Death Dealers and Lycans behind them, bullets whizzing past their heads. It had been this way every night for the past month, dodging bullets and tossing off Lycans and Vampyres every night. 'It's almost ironic, after centuries of warring with each other Vampyres and Lycans are practically joining to bring us down'. Ever since Selene had killed Viktor and the word about the half Vampyre-half Lycan had spread to the new leader of the Lycans, both breeds have been hunting them.
"Selene!" Michael dragged her from her thoughts. "Over there!" He pointed at the door to the outside.
Selene nodded, but before she followed Michael up the stairs; she span around and pulled out her two .9mm guns and firing them at the Lycans and Vampyres. In her left gun was silver nitrate filled capsules and in her right was ultraviolet capsules that she had stole from her old mansion. Selene turned back around and followed Michael into the night.
When Selene got to the surface, Michael was nowhere to be found. She looked around, using her Vampyric senses but still could not sense his aura anywhere. Then someone grabbed her hand and pulled her to the ground, but it wasn't Michael. It was another man, with darker and slightly shorter hair and stunning green eyes. His aura swept over her skin that made her heart feel warmer.
"Where's Michael?" she asked, though, not really sure he knew.
The man pointed at a corner where Michael was crouched down looked around it. "There. Come on." The man let go of Selene's arm and looked around while he made his way through the crowd to Michael, with Selene in tow.
Michael stood up when he saw Selene walking toward him, including the man that saved him from a silver bullet. "Who are you?" he asked.
The man ignored his question. "Come on, their catching onto your scent," he instructed as he touched Michael's jacket where blood ran down his front. The man motioned for them to follow as he ran down the alley. Selene and Michael passed each other glances, normally they wouldn't follow any stranger but they were running out of choices. The two raced down the alley towards the stranger.
The man stopped as he turned a corner to a '04 Porsche, he unlocked it with a keyless entry and he got into the driver's seat. "Get in."
Selene hopped into the center and Michael followed. The man sped off, with three Lycans behind them. Selene pulled out her .9mm and pointed it at the man's face. "Who are you?"
"My name is Andrew, I'm an Annex."
"Annex?" Michael asked.
"Guardians of the Immortal?" Andrew asked, trying to trigger their memory.
Selene kept her gun on them. "I heard about your kind . . ." she began.
"I know, we could've stopped the war before it got any worse, but all Annexes were forbidden to get involved from our boss the Elders," Andrew explained.
Selene sighed and put her gun away. "Then what're you doing here?"
"When I heard that two immortals, a Vampyre and a halfbreed Vampyre were on the run from the Lycans and other Vampyres. I knew I had to protect you."
"Why?" Michael asked, still not understanding why he was risking his life for theirs.
"Because I know what it's like to be hunted because of what kind of blood you have . . ." he explained. He looked in the rearview mirror and smiled. "We're losing them." He took his eyes off the mirror and watched the road.
Suddenly, a gunshot echoed through the alley and Selene screamed out in pain.
"Selene!" Michael exclaimed.
