Blood & Roses: Warriors of the Krieger Read Online Free

sense the
emotions of other vampires, along with their other special mystical
powers. Little did he know I wasn’t nervous about possibly being in
trouble; I was nervous about him in general.
    “We’ve been searching for a vampire in the
area. He’s been accused of murder against humans…and vampires.” The Krieger handed me the photo and waited. I gave myself a
mental mind shake; putting the dream and his yummy looking legs
behind me. I had to answer his question.
    Usually criminal vampires were not known for
killing others of our kind. It’s usually the rebels that make
trouble for us. They can’t afford the Red Cross’ prices and still
hunt in the night and because they wait too long to feed, they
drain the human and mistakenly kill them.
    My eyes flashed wide when I looked at the
picture. This guy was familiar, very familiar.
    “He was here three nights ago. That jerk was
manhandling my waitresses and tried to start a fight in the back of
the club. I had him escorted from the building. Who is he?” The man
in the picture was very handsome. He had sandy blonde hair and
beautiful green eyes, almost like emeralds. I have never seen that
deep of green in someone’s eyes before.
    “Adam Castillo,” Dragus reached for the
picture. I surrendered it to him and then he continued. “His family
reported that he was attacked by a Lycan about two weeks ago. We
know that he has murdered three humans and four vampires since…and
they were all women.” His voice trailed off at the end. I assumed
he was saddened to talk about that last bit of information, which
confused me a little. Krieger were known for their caveman
like qualities. They’ve been trained to military precision, and
were called ‘warriors’ for a reason.
    Lycanthropes are werewolves who were born
human. Once a human is bitten and the transformation is complete,
there is no changing back. They are stuck like that for eternity.
They lose all of their human memories and turn into beast of the
night. They also scared me beyond death. Their patchy fur and
wrinkled skin makes them look like zombie dogs. Yuck!
    Vampires turn feral when bitten by
Lycanthropes. The Lycan’s saliva is poisonous and will eventually
turn them into a type of hybrid. From what I know of them, once
their transformation is complete, they remain on two legs, but look
like a mix of human and werewolf. They lose all humanity and when
they feed, they kill. Well, more like eat their prey. The
thought made me shiver.
    “What does this have to do with me?” I asked,
confused. Dragus’ eyes flashed a little as he shifted in his chair.
His shirt pulled tight across his chest and I wondered how his
muscles would feel underneath my hand.
    “We have already had reports of him being
seen in this area and we need you to be extra careful. Have your
employees only leave the club in groups. Remind them to call 111 if
he is seen.”
    The human police had 911, we have 111. That
was something that the Krieger and the human’s government
established for calls concerning direct problems within the vampire
community. Human police do not have the strength or the fire power
to detain a feral vampire. When a vampire is enraged, there is no
way a human can handle that type of strength.
    “Yes sir, I will meet with all of my
employees before they leave and activate our security protocol,” I
said, absently playing with a paperclip on the desk. This little
bit of information gave me some worry. I don’t want my employees
hurt or scared. I made a mental note to revise my security
measures.
    “You have a security protocol?” he asked,
surprised. I smiled at his confusion. Most of these older vampires
still live in the past where women were helpless and couldn’t cross
a road without help. Idiots!
    “Yes,” Duh! “It’s something I wrote in to the
employee manuals when I opened this place,” I announced proudly;
point for me for thinking ahead.
    “Very well,” he nodded and stood up to leave,
but
