Chapter Eight

Hearing the relief in Maria's voice was a new thing and it took Peter a moment to process it.

"What has happened?" He asked curiously.

"Like you don't already know, Captain." Maria snapped back and that was more like the Maria he knew. He hadn't seen her personally since he accidentally ran into her years ago, but she kept in contact with him, he even got a Christmas card every year from her and her mate.

"Not exactly, just… snippets… enough to know you're about to have a baby and I may be needed." Peter replied hesitantly as he began to move around his cabin and make sure it's locked securely before gathering the items he needed for a long stay.

Maria sighed. "She was facing a vampire with no fear in her eyes, taunted her… her blood tasted powerful and I could not pass it up. There is something about this girl, something that is powerful and life-altering… she carried a mark of one of us on her."

Peter paused as a chill ran down his spine. The girl had already been bitten by one of us and was still human? There was only one instance that he knew of where that happened and it was because… because Edward fucking Cullen refused to change his pet.

"I'm on my way, I'll be there by the morning… There is going to be hell to pay if she is who I think she is." Peter muttered as he slammed his phone shut with a curse.

Fuck… Major ain't gonna be happy if he finds out.
