Olivia's POV
I never expected Frederick to tell me this… that whoever had Selene wanted me and that they had only given him three hours. I stared at him and saw how frustrated and miserable he looked… he was on the verge of breaking down.
"Do you have any idea who could do this?" I asked, curious.
He rubbed his face once, hard. He looked at the floor before he answered.
"Three suspects," he said finally. "A vampire nest that's been angry at me for months. A rogue hunter group that traffics hybrids. And… someone inside the city with a grudge," he spat.
Three suspects. My mind raced with different thoughts. I opened my mouth to ask more, to press him for details, but my wolf snarled in my head and shoved against my thoughts.
Don't, she warned. This is dangerous.
She wanted me to hold back, to stay away, but I couldn't.
An idea formed in my head. It was quick and dangerous and selfless and brave all at once. My hands went cold as I looked at Frederick.
