My Vampire Harem Will Dominate Everything

Ezra went through the documents, his eyes scanning the words as fast as he could.

What he saw wasn't painting a very good picture.

He dropped the document and sighed, leaning back in his chair.

His hands came up to rub his temples even though he wasn't feeling any pain.

That was how frustrated he was.

He stared down at the pile of documents spread across the table in front of him, fighting the urge to scatter them across the floor.

He was currently sitting in the room of records which now felt empty of insight and history both in content and in hope.

The shelves were currently looking bare, as if a wind had come through and wept everything off.

He'd spent time here with his wives. This was not his idea of family bonding.

Across from him, Olivia and Gen were seated at the table, also going through the documents in front of them.

He didn't need a soul bond to feel their frustration. It was the same thing he was feeling at this exact moment.

They had all been at it for hours now flipping through the pages and cross referencing names, dates, anything at all that may lead them to the Veilbreakers.

So far, they have found more dead ends than one will find in a labyrinth.

In the corner of the room, Red moved between the shelves, scanning it for the last relevant documents.

Ezra stood, going to join her.

"What's left?" He asked.

"Just this ones." Red gestured to the stacks.

Red carried what she could and Ezra took the final stack. Together, they brought it to the table.

Olivia sighed, pushing away the previous documents she had been reviewing.

"No luck here either." She sighed, taking her share from the new pile of documents.

Everyone of them took from the pile and began combing through it, settling into the silence.

The sounds of page turning filled the air. Everyone's eyes flicked across their pages with a speed so fast that if a human stumbled across the scene, they would run away, calling it the beginning of a horror movie.

The more they read, the more they realized that there were no answers here.

This option has been exhausted.

His mind couldn't help but jump to the last victim. Maya.

The killer had used her to send him on this path and now he could see why.

Whatever it was she was pointing at, it was hidden.

It was hidden so well that there were little to know records on the subject.

Ezra leaned back in his chair again, closing his eyes for a brief moment.

Everyone around the table dropped their documents. They were done reading. It was time to discuss the findings.

"So," Ezra looked up at his wives, "what did you find?"

Olivia was the first to speak.

"The first thing to note is that there actually are records of veilbreakers in Faewall. But from what we can all see, they've been completely scrubbed."

"And we can't deny that this looks deliberate. It's almost like someone went through every document and removed any trace of them."

Gen nodded, frustration visible in her eyes. "We have no idea when they were here, why they were here, or what they were doing. It's like they've been erased from history."

Red spoke up, sighing. "There's only one person who would be responsible for scrubbing the records."

She looked at Ezra. "Your predecessor, Abraham. He's the only one with the authority to erase all traces of the Veilbreakers in the peacekeeper archives."

Ezra frowned as he remembered Abraham.

The man had been known for how strict he was, being very exact about the rule of law.

He tolerated no bullshit and couldn't be bribed.

He is the reason why Ezra could enjoy such a quiet time as Captain of the peacekeepers.

So, it was hard for him to believe that Abraham would be behind this.

"Are you sure it's Abraham?" Olivia asked the question on his mind.

"Honestly, no." Red answered. "But there's no way he doesn't know something about this."

Ezra nodded in agreement. "Even if Abraham didn't do this, he might know something about it."

He turned to Olivia. "Find out where he is now. I'll have to pay him a visit."

"Wait a minute." Red paused with a frown as something seemed to click in her mind, drawing everyone's attention.

Red turned to Gen, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You've lived in Faewall before, Gen. Shouldn't you know something about the Veilbreakers?"

Gen blinked in surprise. It looked like she hadn't been expecting that question.

"I… of course not." Gen snorted, regaining her footing. "You all know I lived here as a vampire for only one year before I left, and I was still a young vampire then."

"I didn't have access to much information. Most of the political stuff was kept far away from someone at my level."

Red crossed her arms, thinking. "But still… Veilbreakers are not really a common thing. It's odd that no rumors or whispers reached you, even as a low-ranking vampire."

Gen shrugged slightly. "Maybe it happened after I left. Or before I became a vampire. This clearly isn't something people know about or we would've heard rumors about it during our nineteen year stay."

"She's right." Ezra stood and began pacing. For something to have been this hidden, James Harlow must have known about it. After all, this was his city.

Maybe he could ask the man himself.

Before he could voice his thoughts, the door to the room of records slowly swung open, and a young female officer stepped in.

"Captain." She saluted, her expression serious. "You've been summoned by the City Lord."

"Okay, thank you." Ezra nodded to the officer who left.

He turned back to his wives. "Olivia. you know what to do. Red, Gen, take care of this place before I get back. All eyes on Connelly. She's still a mystery and I don't want a repeat of the Green incident.

Understood?"
