My Vampire Harem Will Dominate Everything

Chapter 205: Open Secrets

Helena sat in her office, her fingers tapping a steady rhythm on the table.

Her thoughts went through all she knew on Ezra. How did he ascend with golden eyes? What does it mean? How did he gain their ability to use the powers of his wives?

This was painting a picture she wanted to be a part of. She wanted the power that Ezra now had. That his wives Olivia and Gen now had.

Fortunately, she had officers working on it.

She was jarred out of her thoughts as a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in." She called out.

The door opened and Lilith, her most trusted officer, walked in. It was time to hear the results of her investigations.

"Captain!" Lilith saluted.

"At ease." Helena said. "Report."

"Captain. All records point to only one vampire who possessed golden eyes."

Helena's eyes narrowed in thought. She didn't know if it was better or worse for it to be what she was thinking of.

"Who is it?" She asked.

"The progenitor." Lilith answered.

Helena leaned back in her chair. What could it mean? The progenitor was the only man with golden eyes and now, Ezra had appeared in front of her with those same eyes.

Could Ezra be a descendant of the progenitor?

"Captain." Lilith spoke up. "Did you meet a vampire with golden eyes?"

Helena stared at Lilith. "Do not ask questions, Lilith. You want to live long, don't you?"

"Sorry, Captain." Lilith spoke.

"Dismissed."

Lilith saluted and left the room.

Helena knew she didn't have the whole picture but she was determined to get to the bottom of all this.

It was time to set up a meeting with Ezra.

**********

Ezra fixed his overcoat as he walked down the street. It has been a surprise to receive the message from Helena.

With their past relationship, he had been tempted to ignore the message but at the moment, he was just like Countess Yuri.

He couldn't afford to make enemies and he needed all the friends he could get.

With the current war on the horizon, it would be foolish to have a third party know the location of his house. Which was why they would be meeting in a neutral location.

He learned from his mistakes. Not even Yuri knew where you lived. And with his ability to teleport, he didn't even have to be seen going and coming out of his apartment.

He grinned as he found the restaurant. It was the place they had met the first time. The place in which Helena had laid down her plans to overthrow Griffin.

He smiled as he remembered his counter plan. Even that hadn't worked out.

He was walking to the door when she stepped in front of him.

A peacekeeper.

"Ezra Matten." She bowed slightly.

"In the interest of security, captain Helena has changed the location of the meeting." She smiled in that patronizing manner that all peacekeepers seemed to have learnt in peacekeeper school or whatever it was they had. "If you would come with me."

Ezra frowned, studying the lady. He had seen her before. She had been among the peacekeepers who guarded him when he had been on trial for Breach of Secrecy.

But that didn't mean anything.

Changing the location of the meeting at the last minute was still very suspicious and as they were at war, he couldn't trust any peacekeepers.

He knew she wasn't in disguise but it was common knowledge that they could be bought.

"I want to speak with Helena myself." Ezra said. "Tell her to come here or the meeting is canceled."

"Apologies but captain Helena is no longer inside the restaurant. Due to the security breach, she is in a new location and awaits your presence."

"I see." Ezra nodded. "Tell her that she can set up a new meeting for another day. Thank you."

Ezra turned to leave. Whatever was going on, he couldn't trust it.

"Wait." The peacekeeper quickly jumped in his path. "Captain knew you'd be like this. Which is why she authorized me to give this to you."

She stretched out a phone to him. There was an ongoing call to a contact named Captain.

Ezra stared at it.

"She said you wouldn't want to not hear what she has to say." The peacekeeper said.

Ezra stared for a moment longer before taking the phone.

He'd hear what the person had to say. Whether it was Helena or not, he didn't lose out. He wouldn't be surprised if she had information of some kind.

The peacekeepers were like cockroaches. Experts at digging up dirt.

He put the phone to his ear. "Hello?"

"Ezra." Helena's voice reached him through the phone. "Due to the nature of what I want to speak with you on, the restaurant is not secure enough for it."

"And you want me to come to this new location unprepared?" Ezra scoffed. "How can I even be sure that you are the real Helena and not some vampire masquerading as her?"

"There's no way I can prove my identity on the phone, Ezra Matten." Helena answered. "We both know that. However, I believe you'll want to hear what I've discovered… Prince Ezra."

Ezra tightened his grip on the phone.

How did Helena know? Did X tell her? Unlikely. Natalia? Or someone?

His eyes flicked to the peacekeeper who was standing a few meters away. But that didn't matter. She could probably hear both sides of the conversation.

"What is this about, Helena?" He asked.

"I know your secrets, Ezra Matten." Helena laughed softly. "It's up to you to come or not. Then, I'll decide what to do with all the information I have."

Ezra listened with gritted teeth.

"Do I sell you out to another Prince? Or do I just tell the whole of vampire society instead?"

"What do you want, Helena?" Ezra could hear the phone creak in his hand.

"Meet with me." Helena said. "As a gesture of good faith, I'll let you pick the location where we meet. What do you say, Ezra Matten?"

"It's your choice."
