Dark Shadows CHAPTER 27
I stared at the photo of my mother and then looked at Lucas. I couldn’t stop thinking about that dream that I had of her as well. But then I shook it off. “This is crazy. It had to be someone that looked just like her.” I said. “She has the same eyes as you. Just not as bright.” He said. “Maybe it was a relative of hers or something. It’s possible. I know that she wasn’t born in this pack and I’ve never met anyone from her side of the family. I had to be someone else that was a close relative. Maybe she’s got a sister or something.” I said. “You’ve never met them?” He asked. “No. Dad never mentioned them and I guess I was just never interested. This was my home and I never thought about it.” I said. We were in the office working until late before I finally went up to my room to have a shower and I got some fresh clothes on. And it was really good to have a shower as well. I then sat next to the window for a minute looking up at the sky, starting to wonder what sort of fam

I called Arlo to the packhouse immediately and he found me in the office. “What’s going on?” He asked. “I have a private informant. Dad didn’t even know about this one. I’ve just been told that we’re going to be attacked tonight. Two hours after sunset by some pretty heavy hitters.” I said. “Vanessa?” He asked. “No. She was just here to taunt us. These ones are here to hurt us.” I said. “Alright. We have to get the warriors prepared. Do we know which direction they’re coming in?” He asked. “No. Which means all patrols have to be on alert tonight and mind link the rest of us the second they see them coming. Or hear them.” I said. “I’ll call an emergency meeting for all of the warriors. In the meeting hall.” Arlo said. “Alright. Let me know when they are all there. Don’t start without me.” I said. “No worries.” He said, leaving the office. I kept working on a few different things in the office when I got the call that all the warriors were in the meeting hall. I wen

The vampires attacked in unison and they were definitely well trained for this. Something else I had never seen or heard of before. But we were just as well trained. If not, better. Because we train for this our whole lives. We all collided with a thunderous crash, with me right in the middle of the fighting and I grabbed one vampire that was attacking another wolf and I gripped it around the neck and shook my head vigorously until its head detached from its body and then threw it away in the distance. I felt something sharp stick into my back that I let out a roar, but before I could get the vampire off of me another warrior had already grabbed it and killed it. I could tell right then that they were all watching out for me, as well as themselves. But also each other. Just like they had been trained. They were a pack. And no matter who hated each other inside the pack, when we are faced by an enemy like this, we are one. We work as one. The vampires were getting through us,

It was a long and painful night trying to contact my uncles, but there was no answer. Not until just after dawn the following morning when I was alerted by some people approaching the pack. I ran through the woods to the border, where the main road into the pack was and I saw Uncle Ethan with a lot of people following him. I ran over the border until I reached them and I hugged Ethan as soon as I saw them. “I’ve been trying to call you all night.” I said. “We had to get out of there. They attacked out of nowhere.” He said. “I know they did. They used a diversion to keep me from helping.” I said. “What? They attacked here too?” He asked. “Yeah. But we were ready. We only lost 13.” I said. “We had no warning. We didn’t know. I’ve only got 310 people left out of my pack. That’s all I could get out.” He said. “It was a slaughter.” I said. “Yeah. They were organized.” He said. “I noticed that last night too. PLease, bring your people inside where it’s safe.” I said.
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 31
By the following morning the news of their destroyed packs had hit the news. The humans thought that they were other human towns, not knowing that they were wolf packs. Saying that again, they were all wiped out. And I saw that the packs had been left to rubble. The packhouses had been burnt to the grounds, houses and businesses were completely destroyed. They vampires really did go on a rampage. I was in my office watching the news when I couldn’t watch it anymore. I was doing more work on the computer and one of the omega’s finally bought me a book that contained the information of all the refugees that I was going to input into the computer. So I could keep track of them. Charles and his family had been keeping to themselves since he saw that my pack wasn’t going to accept him as their Alpha. He was like a child sulking because he didn’t get his own way. But I was fine with that. I was glad that I didn’t have to see him that much because he pissed me off at the best of times.
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 32
That night after I had a shower and got dressed, I headed down to the dining room where the Alpha’s, their Luna’s and their children were waiting. “What are you wearing?” Charles asked as I sat at the head of the table. “A shirt and shorts.” I said, like he was stupid for asking. “Why are you so casual at the dinner table?” He asked. “It must be because of all the immaturity running through my body.” I scoffed at him. “It’s fucking dinner. Who cares? As soon as I eat then I am going to bed to try and get some sleep.” I said. “Don’t talk to me like that. Especially not in front of my children. I don’t want your influence rubbing off on them.” He snapped at me. “They’re your children Charles. They’re already fucked.” I said. And Ethan had to stifle his laugh with a cough. “And there you go. Showing your immaturity again.” Charles said. “And all you’re doing is showing your lack of respect. This is my pack. My rules. My army. Which they have already proved to him when they k
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 33
I can’t believe that I went against everything that I had always told myself. I didn’t want a mate. I refused to have a mate. I was going to reject him but I still let him hang around to strengthen the pull between us. I actually told myself that I was going to wait and see where this went. And look at where it went. Look at where it took me. I am the one sitting here hurt, because I betrayed myself. I betrayed my feelings and my thoughts and I didn’t let myself stay true to who I was. I was such an idiot. I was more determined than ever to reject him as soon as I turned 18. Which was fast approaching. Infidelity is really rare in werewolf communities because of the mate bond. But we weren’t bonded yet. Which is what had me confused. He felt the bond, I didn’t. If anyone was going to cheat then it would have been me, not him. And I couldn’t even do that knowing how much it would hurt him. Fuck him and his mate bond. I looked back at the computer and I started getting back into
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 34
I was confused as hell as to why the Joint Chief of Staff was calling me, but then it started making sense after seeing that drone flying over the pack. “Have you been watching us? Using your drones?” I asked. “Yes. That was us.” He said. “Why?” I asked. “I just told you. I believe that we can help each other.” He said. “I really doubt that.” I said. “I have the entire military at my disposal.” He said. “And I have a lot more than you do. Knowledge of what we’re dealing with.” I said. “You mean the vampires? And I know that you are a pack of werewolves. Training and creating your own army to stop the vampires.” He said. “Why doesn’t that surprise me?” I asked. “I don’t know. Probably because we are the American Government. We’ve known about vampires for years and we’ve let them go. Only because they were killing to survive. But now they are killing without mercy and drawing attention to themselves. They’re coming out from the shadows.” He said. “Yeah. And what do
