Howard pov: Imprisoning Kayla and ensuring her safety was only the first step in my plan. Next, I had to start investigating everyone in the town and identify Ryan's men from among them. They were so well hidden that we couldn't find where they were hiding for a long time. I eventually targeted Kayla's ex-husband, a man named Henry. I saw Kayla bite him to death with my own eyes, and his body was disposed of by my hands. But now he's come back to life. I thought he had been fed vampire blood before I took Kayla to kill him. Kayla came through this way. I didn't know what Henry went through from death to resurrection and how he managed to trick the town into throwing a big funeral for him by disguising himself as a corpse and letting himself lie in a coffin after his resurrection.
