Marcellus' POV
*****
Ah, you've probably been wondering what he's been doing these past four months.
Well... Nothing.
Literally.
After drowning with uncertainty concerning the moon stone imprint left behind by that hag, Elder Davina, and after trying and failing to find out how to get rid of it... He decided to lie low.
Like, actually laying low and not killing people or constantly manipulating them.
Okay, okay... That's a joke.
Him? Not killing people for so long?
Come on, that would be a miracle.
Besides, he has an artificial hybrid ritual to feed on life force once in a while. He couldn't stop killing even if he wanted to... And that was a fat ass "if".
The only difference now was that he stopped taking lives from the Blood Oak pack, instead keeping his sights on other packs and settlements.
And even then he had to be sneaky and extra cautious not to get caught. He put effort into making their deaths seem "natural" or "unfortunate".
