Free After The Moon Sets 2 (Werewolf Paranormal Romance) by Reba Taylor Page B

quickly realized that I now only held restricted access. I slapped my laptop shut in defeat.
    “Damn you Julian,” I muttered aloud. He removed my access to the archives, limiting my research on Lumar. No problem, I’ll just have to get the information on my own. I’ll just have to break into the archives myself to access the information I need.
    There was one thing I knew for sure in this life; nothing lives forever. Lumar couldn’t be killed traditionally, so I would have to find other measures to succeed in s laying the Vampire Prince. A Vampire’s strength did improve with age, but I’d never encountered a Vampire this powerful.
    *********
    Walking out of my high rise apartment building, I could immediately sense that I was being watched. Julian had his spies tracking my every move, but I had my own ways of ditching them. I was a hunter of a higher caliber, and it would take another hunter with my skill just to keep up with me. These men were nothing more than boys in training.
    Jogging into the heart of Downtown Detroit, it was very easy to lose them through the dark allies and tall buildings. I couldn’t take my car; knowing that I could be easily tracked. Pulling my hoodie over my head, I checked my back pocket for cash and loaded the city bus, the last place they would expect to find me.
    I had to get to the archives. I was absolutely desperate for answers and I knew the only way I could get them was through the archives.
    The archives consisted of an infinite database full of information about the paranormal. No human being would ever be able to obtain all of the information in their lifetime , the database was just that large. I knew there was information about him, there’s no way a Vampire that old and powerful could slip so easily through the cracks.
    There was something off about Julian when Lumar was mention ed. He seemed almost afraid of Lumar, a fear that I’ve never seen in Julian. He was a man who was constantly threatened by monsters and creatures that would occupy many people’s worst nightmares. Yet I had never seen him bow or back down from anyone. Lumar must be something of importance to spark fear in the counsel.
    The deeper question was why Lumar coveted me enough to kill my parents. This, I would never understand and judging from Lumar’s declaration, he definitely felt no remorse for his actions that changed my life forever.
    Who was this powerful Vampire? I had no clue, but I w as going to find out very soon. The city bus rides directly into Midtown Square, the home of Wayne State University, and also the archives. Hidden in the Undergraduate Library, the number one unsuspecting location for humans. However, the archives were also highly protected. I was going to have to do the inevitable; I would have to fight my way inside.
    Disarming security would give me at least five minutes to steal the information I needed. The only problem was that it would not be easy locating the information I needed through the archives. With a database that large, I could easily get lost looking through the database and I knew that Julian was just waiting for me to make a mistake.
    Remaining inconspicuous as I entered the library, I quickly made my way to the exit stairs and snuck down to the basement. Now that my access to the archives was restricted, I would have to use other measures to gain entrance. I pulled a flash drive from my pocket and held it up to the camera, pulling off my hoodie.
    “You no longer have access.” The operator spoke from the intercom.
    “I am aware of that. I have information to deliver, per Captain Julian’s orders.”  There was a long pause, and then doors opened and a security guard stepped out with his hand placed cautiously over his weapon.
    Hunters were never to be trusted and there was a reason why. I did not waste any time. Catching his hand before he could draw his weapon, I twisted his arm, lifting him roughly over my shoulder. He landed hard on his back with his
