Selene and Michael had gotten up shortly after sunset, Michael got dressed into his new clothes and gathered up the blanket and got going. As soon as they left the house death dealers were running down the street at them.
"Run." Selene said in a rushed voice as she turned the opposite direction of the death dealers and ran as fast as she could. Michael followed her after waiting a few seconds of thinking if he should take the death dealers head on. They kept running and eventually ended up in an alleyway where Selene ran into someone. Little did she know that it was Markus that she had run into until it was to late.
"So this is the famous Selene and Michael." Markus said as the death dealers ran into the alleyway. "Drop your weapons men. These two are no longer our enemies but our allies. We have a new enemy out there that is stronger than me. We need all the help we can get. All personal that can fight Lycan or Vampire will suffice because of what we are going against isn't one of them. It's a serpent, now we have to go before it here's us." Markus said as he swiftly walked the opposite direction in the alley.
"What do you mean Serpent? I thought they went extinct because of us. They haven't been around for centuries." Selene started to argue.
"A whole squad of death dealers were killed by a bite that contained venom that killed them in seconds. The serpents must of hid well since they never showed up on our grid until now. We've been hearing rumors that the serpents plan on killing the children of Lycans and Vampires, the future of our generations. We cannot have them killing the future of us all, let's say you were pregnant Selene you would be one of their first targets because you are carrying a child. Sure Michael could try to protect you but he would die trying. We need to find a supreme being that can handle this. The only few I can think of are Viktor who you killed, Lucian who Kraven killed, and if you were to have a child and that would be the supreme being if Michael was the father since you have Viktor's Vampire gene in your system. It would be remarkable if it were to the truth, but it is not since you and Michael are not mates and you're not pregnant." Markus said while getting into a black vehicle that Selene used to be in before she got her own from the covenant.
"When will Michael have to choose a mate if he were to become one of your pack?" Selene asked curiously.
"Tomorrow, why?" Markus asked suspiciously.
"Just curious that's all." Selene said as she looked at Michael who smiled at her making her smile back at him.
"Michael I was wondering if you and I could talk for a bit without Selene around. If you don't mind Selene." Markus said like he would everyday in a conversation.
"No, I don't mind and went back by the death dealers to be clued in with the killing tactics they plan on using for the new enemy.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Michael asked Markus as they kept walking ahead of the others.
"I want you to be one of my counsel for when I go back into hibernation you can take over and you need a mate and heir for if you ever die. You'll need to choose by tomorrow, and choose wisely." Markus whispered in just in case anybody was listening to their conversation.
"Thank you sir for wanting me as one of your counsel sir. What do you mean choose wisely?" Michael asked curiously.
"What I mean is, choose Selene they will follow her more than anyone else, she's been a warrior and knows what the men and women go through in battle. She knows the suffering of the people, she also knows the balance." Markus advised.
"I was already planning on taking her as a mate sir. I love her." Michael confessed. Markus looked at Michael to see if there was a doubt in Michael's eyes but found none.
"You truly love Viktor's little Anne?" Markus asked carefully.
"Anne? No I love Selene not Anne I don't even know who Anne is." Michael said in a calm tone.
"Anne was Selene's human name before Viktor changed her." Markus replied and kept walking as Michael stopped in shock.
They all walked to the nearest coven hide out. Selene and Michael followed Markus into a different room while the rest went to different directions.
