68 Endurance- Part 2 (2/2)

Wolves that originated from the land of East was considered to be fatal to many vampires. Though the grown wolves didn't affect the pure blooded vampires, a single bite could paralyze an average vampire for more than four days. Due to this, most of the vampires kept their distance from the wolves and it didn't matter if it was a grown wolf or a pup. The wolves that were tamed by Lord Nicholas had been taught to feed on any and everything which moved as sometimes they weren't fed for a week making them ferociously hungry.

”We are going to have our hands full for the next coming days,” Lord Nicholas commented with a sigh.

”Huh? Is it because of Mr. Lawson and Lady Heidi's marriage after the engagement? With Mr. Meyers house murder solved we will be able to progress with the truce smoothly, isn't it?” Stanley asked to see a grim expression fall on his master's face, ”No...?”

”According to Rhys wife, she had given her clothes and jewelry to the maid so that she could wear it. The lady left the room for few minutes to come back to see the maid who had dressed in her clothes to be lying on the ground dead. Out of shock, she didn't look at the attacker as he left the house.”

”The attacker didn't know it was the maid and not the lady,” the butler added, knowing few details about it.

”That's what we all thought,” Stanley furrowed his brows at his master's words, ”When does Heidi usually visit the Meyers mansion?” the Lord asked him.

”Wednesday or Thursdays. Mostly Wednesdays because she likes to go visit the church on Thursday mornings and then sits in the general library in the afternoons...” the butler answered recollecting the lady's schedule and as though realization hit him, his eyes widened, ”Lady Heidi?”

”It was never Rhys wife but Heidi whom they had intended to kill from the beginning,” Nicholas himself remembered the night before the murder took place. It was during the time of dinner.

”We'll be going to an event held by a family tomorrow,” Warren asked after everyone had finished their dinner.

”Tomorrow?” Heidi questioned with an underlying dread in her voice that went unnoticed by the questioner.

”Yes, why? Do you have already have plans for tomorrow?” Warren asked her.

”No, not exactly,” she replied back, looking at her empty plate and sighing to herself as Warren got out of his seat who had been sitting next to her.
