Luke read all of those beautiful letters from my husband to me. He had never doubted that I was alive.
I could barely speak. I asked Luke to sneak me in to see Howle, in a broken whisper.
He just laughed.
" Well for one, you can't even walk." He kissed my finger tips.
I lay back on my soft bed and sighed.
" June?" I had to know if she was truly changed or not.
" She is missing again." He said to me.
I nodded.
It was hell being held back by my broken body. I was just glad to be home, well my husband's home.

Daphne Moore
I was a pretty innocent girl when Weston found me. I just graduated high-school.
He took me from my family and kept me for his free lunch, so it seemed.
He made me think that I loved him. He used his vampire powers over me to keep me by his side.
I was everything to him at one time. As I grew older, he grew tired of me.
Once I told him I feared I was pregnant, he set me aside until the baby came. I named him Lucas after my grandfather.
He was a hungry boy. When he was weaned, Weston stole him away from me for a time as he taught him to feed himself.
I was lonely, so sad and lonely.
He brought my boy to me for the summers, as Weston traveled to the old country.
I did my best to instill love, respect, teaching him the gentle way of life.
When his father returned he berated my boy, calling him a sissy.
I was unable to keep him from being exposed to the life of a vampire.
As I grew older, I was content to live out my last days alone in the solitude of my little home.
One day, Weston came. We fought. I lost my temper calling him a monster.
He lost his temper and bit my neck. After so many years of being his meal train, I was now unfortunately the one hungry.
I found ways to feed myself without the violence.
I was so angry with Weston for turning me.
My son was one of the best hunters around. After a couple hundred years, he himself lost his taste for the hunt. Weston blamed me.
I was waiting for the holidays to pick Lucas up from school, his school mate, Kent Moore was waiting for me in his room.
Weston paid Kent to destroy me. He told Kent that he could count on better social standing if he did his bidding.
Kent thought that I was easy pray. He attacked me in my son's dorm room. He bared his teeth, trying his foolish vampire tricks on me, Weston had used them all on me, I was prepared.
I unleashed all of my anger and pain on the poor boy.
I took his body to the cemetary and removed his heart, then his head to be sure he was truly dead.
My husband tried to cover his tracks, blaming the Howle clan, specifically Orcas Howle, who was an out spoken lycan against the Moore coven. Though I was sure he suspected me.
I was sorry that he had to be blamed, but I couldn't let Weston know it really was me.
As far as Serena, Howle's fiance. I ran into her one night at his home as I was planting evidence on Howle's property to make Weston think that it was Orcas Howle, so he wouldn't come after me again.
That dumb Serena was in a car with Howle's own sister, Rena. The windows were all fogged up.
I moved back into the shadows, but she smelled me as she got out of the car to go pee.
I was sure she would recognize my scent.
Later that night, when she was all alone, I murdered her too. I took her to the cemetary and took her heart and head as I had with Kent.
Thus I had started the fire that became the recent upsurge in the ancient fued between the Moores and the Howles.
I was now resting in my room at the Moore compound. Weston let me keep to myself now.
He had no idea I was responsible for everything bad that happened to him lately.
I took great joy in seeing him falter as the coven had put pressure on him to solve the murders.
I decided to pay a visit to Orcas Howle and help him get out of jail. This would piss off my dead beat husband.
I discreetly paid off the magistrate to let him go, I paid Howle's bail after this.

" Hello Orcas, I see you have landed yourself here in my husband's hot hands. I hate my husband, I want to help you son."
He grinned at me. He was a very handsome man for a wolf.
My plan was to get Orcas out so he could finish Weston with his lycan revenge.
" Mrs. Moore, nice to finally meet you. I am friends with your son Lucas."
This surprised me greatly. My son didn't have friends.
" Oh, in what capacity do you know my boy?" I asked.
" He is taking care of my business for me, specifically my wife." he sounded confident in his belief that he could trust a male vampire around his wife.
" Your wife, is she lycan too?"I needed to get Lucas out of Howle's house.
" No, she's actually very human. But...she is like no human I have ever known.
She is aware of my alter ego, Lucas' as well. I would love you to meet her. You must come for dinner after my release.
Of course, Weston won't be invited." He frowned.
" No, I would like that. Like I said, I hate my husband." I was telling the truth there.
Howle handed me a letter for his wife.
If you see my Kennedy, uh that is Kennedy Starling- Howle. Give her this letter please, if you don't mind?"
" Your wife is the Kennedy Starling?" I was uneasy about Lucas being with this witch who was married to a lycan, not just any lycan, but the very imposing Orcas Howle.
I took his letter. This would be an excellent excuse for me to check on Lucas.
I gave the guard a wad of money on my way out.
" I was never here." I said staring into his eyes with my lavender gaze. He numbly nodded.
When I got to my car, I read that love letter, it pulled at my human heart strings.
My beloved wife, I will be home soon if the moon shines upon me kindly. I am in pieces thinking about what Robby told me about your sister.
I know how she has pained you darling. I hope Lucas is keeping you warm in my bed. Do not fear, I am beholden to him during this time. All of my passion are yours, Orcas.

Orcas
I had removed several bricks from the wall during the night.
I was leaving to see Kennedy, I had to see her. To my surprise, Lucas Moore's own mother appeared to bail me out.
I felt like I could trust her. I could see the truth in her words about her husband. He must have really tortured her during her marraige to him.
I was going to have to kill June Starling.
I know that Kennedy will fight me on this. What I learned about the horrific things June did to my wife, I was all about revenge. It was in my blood.
June better hide. I'm coming for vengeance.
My loins were on fire for Kennedy. I needed her. I was locked up too long.
