Leah came running up behind me and saw that they had Benjamin and heard me call him by his name. “You know him?” Leah asked. “Sort of.” I said. And he looked at me, he looked like someone had really had a go at him, but I didn’t know if that was my warriors or someone else. “Who did that to him?” I asked. “I don’t know. He just stumbled over our border looking like that. And he was asking for you.” Jack mind linked me. “Take him to the packhouse. You’ll have to put him in the dungeon. Don’t hurt him. I’ll talk to him myself.” I said. And they were all looking at me strangely. Everyone was about to find out my biggest secret, and I didn’t know if I was ready for that. But ready or not, it was here and I had to deal with it. I just knew that I needed to make sure that he didn’t get hurt. I followed them back to the packhouse and the warriors dragged him down to the now empty dungeon and they put him in a cell towards the back. Leo and Amelia had been executed as well. I d

“How the hell could they get away with something like that and we didn’t even know about it?” I asked. “I don’t know. But they did. And they killed thousands of soldiers. Human soldiers. The humans are going to be out for blood. They are going to start taking matters into their own hands and we are going to be screwed.” Lucas said. “We need to be on damage control. There’s going to be riots. There’s going to be people out at night. They are going to go looking for vampires and they are going to get themselves fucking killed.” I said. “That’s what they want.” Jude said, coming into the room. “Are you here to tell me that you’re taking over as Alpha?” I asked, standing up straight. Ready to take him on if that was the case. Lucas was definitely on my side and he stood next to me to show that he was on my side, but I took a couple of calculated steps closer to Jude and Aria. “No. Everyone talked about it. They discussed it. And then they saw what the vampires did to the army b

“Meadow. I know that you’re in there. Don’t pretend like you’re not.” Lucas said. “What do you want?” I asked, sitting up in bed. So he opened my door and closed it behind him. “Why weren’t you going to tell me that it was your birthday.” He asked, starting to walk towards me. “Stop right there. You know exactly why I wasn’t going to tell you.” I said. “You’ve been keeping your distance from me all day. You’ve been making sure that I haven’t been standing right next to you, you kept your distance while we were sitting at the desk making those phone calls. I have to say, you are damn good at faking it.” He said. “Yeah, keep that in mind.” I said. And he chuckled. “I had no idea that you were feeling the bond.” He said. “That’s because I didn’t want you to.” I said. “You really are more stubborn than I thought.” He said. “Lucas, it really has been a long day and I want to get some sleep.” I said. “You aren’t going to be able to sleep. I know that even you can’t trick

“Don’t look so surprised guys. I’ve always said that I didn’t want a mate. I planned on rejecting him when I turned 18. But he asked me to give it a chance and I agreed. I just don’t know how it’s going to work with his pack and my pack. Because I can’t move my pack now. It’s a safe haven.” I said. “Yes. It is. And now, here are the other people that were invited.” Aria said, pointing to the side of the house. I saw her brother Lake walking around the side of the house with Jillian’s brother Jason, Leah, Hudson, Joseph and Walker. They were all warriors and older than us, but not that much older. We knew them all and we were friends with them. But I didn’t know how Lucas would feel about Arlo being here. I didn’t really care. I started drinking the beer that was bought along by my friends but then we started getting into the rum and bourbon that the older guys brought with them. We had been drinking for a while and drinking straight shots because it was really hard for werewol

We went inside the packhouse and we sat in the living room to talk to Chandler and he refused to go anywhere without that camera. I guess that was his insurance policy in case I did try to kill him. “What the fuck do you want?” I asked. “I want to know what you are going to do about all of these riots?” Chandler said. “I don’t know. What are you going to do about them?” I asked. “You expect us to take on vampires?” He asked. “A lot of the riots are happening on the other side of the country. I can’t protect the people I have in my pack if I’m not here. And with these damn camera’s following my every move and humans now knowing about vampires and werewolves, it’s a little hard to do anything under the radar. They’ll know if I leave this pack and that will give them an opening to attack my people.” I said. “You can’t leave some behind to protect your pack?” He asked. “Yeah. But I don’t have enough warriors to dispatch some to every city in the country. At least not enough

As soon as we got to Memphis, we drove to the center of the city and saw that it was in shambles. Buildings were falling to pieces, pieces of rubble through the streets, overturned cars that were on fire. I got out of our car and I looked around. The whole place looked familiar to me but I couldn’t place it. I tried so hard. I started walking down the road for a bit and I stopped next to a pile of rubble. I knew that this place looked familiar but I had never been to Memphis before. I then felt something tugging on my leg so I looked down and there was a little girl on the ground. “Can you help me find my mommy?” She asked. And then it came crashing back to me. The dream I had. It’s the exact same. “Sure I can sweetie. Are you all alone?” I asked, kneeling down. “Yes. They came into our house and my mommy told me to run. So I did.” She said. I had to think for a moment, but then I remembered. “Is your name Amora?” I asked. “How did you know that?” She asked. “It was

Lucas tried to stand in front of me, but I obviously wasn’t going to let him protect me like that. “I’m guessing your Samara.” I said. “Wow. I didn’t think I had made it so high up the food chain. Alpha Meadow knows who I am.” She said. “Don’t flatter yourself. I just know one of your victims that you carelessly left alive.” I said. “There’s only one prick that I left alive. But I didn’t know that you were his werewolf contact. Where is dear old Benjamin? I would love to finish what I started.” She said. “And why the hell would I tell you that?” I asked. “Because we go back further than you two do.” She said. “I don’t doubt that. It must have really hurt when he chose me over you.” I said. “You didn’t give him a choice.” She said. And I started laughing. “If you say so.” I said. But she scowled at me. “Meadow.” Lucas said, grabbing my arm and I looked around as more vampires were starting to surround us. “I bet you’re going to score really big with the leader if yo
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 51
We decided that this would be the best place to stay the night. We made sure that there weren’t going to be any surprises left and surprisingly, we found more survivors here. The hotel was abandoned so we all chose a room to stay in and we went to those rooms to get some rest for the night before we headed out again the next morning. I went to my room on the top floor, which was the penthouse. I didn’t have a say in it. The warriors gave me the key to it and I was too tired to argue. So I went upstairs and I realized that Lucas was following me. “Really?” I asked, unlocking the door. “Yeah. Why not?” He asked. “I’m too tired to do anything. So don’t get any ideas.” I said. “Honestly, it didn’t even enter my mind tonight.” He said. “Where are the humans staying tonight?” I asked. “They’ve all got rooms here too. And they are being protected.” He said. “Alright.” I said. We went inside the penthouse and I put my bag down on the couch and I went to the kitchenette t
