JACKSON POV As soon as I got the word that our pack had been attacked, I aborted the mission and we ran straight back. We didn't stop for anything. Our wolves pounding paws running along the forest could have been heard for miles. We made it back in record time because I knew that this whole thing had been a trap. It was an ambush and they were seriously outnumbered. But when I arrived back, I wasn't prepared for what I saw. It was a slaughter. The forest near the border wasn't anything I had ever seen before. There were dead vampires everywhere, along with wolves. They got the better of us, just like we got the better of them. There were definitely no winners in this scenario. I shifted back and opened my bag and put on a pair of shorts and I saw Ethan standing by the pile of dead vampires. And just behind us, were the dead werewolves. They would be given an honorable funeral. The vampires were going to be burnt in the nearest clearing. "They came out of nowhere. We weren't ex
I had been following that road for about half an hour without turning off anywhere when something hit my nose. I picked up Taylor's scent again. I sniffed the air and tried to find which direction it was headed and it was on the other side of the road. Leading straight into the woods again. So I ran through the tree line and started following the scent. And that's when I came across a car. Just one car that was sitting on a dirt road. The doors were open and I looked inside to find no one in it. But Taylor's scent was really strong in the car. She'd definitely been in it. But if no one else was in the car, then they had taken her out of it. So I started running frantically through the woods trying to find her. I knew that they wouldn't be stupid enough to stop this close to our pack. Maybe she managed to escape the car and they were chasing her through these woods. There were so many things going through my mind and my wolf, Bronx, was getting more and more anxious the longer we c
"Wow. Taylor." I yelled. And she froze where she was. I could see her shaking and she looked like she was in a bit of shock at first but she dropped the branch when she recognised me. "Jackson." She finally said. And I saw her relax a little and I grabbed her closer to me and hugged her to me as tight as possible. "What the hell happened?" I asked. "They got me in the basement. My powers didn't work when I tried to fight back. They dragged me out of the basement and into the car. But I could feel something happening in the car. I managed to distract them long enough for me to jump out of the car. I've been running ever since." She explained. And I pulled her even closer. I mind linked the warriors and told them that I found Taylor and that we needed back up. There were going to be more vampires near us. They were looking for Taylor and they weren't going to stop looking. They would kill me to get to her. So we definitely needed back up. Taylor and I stayed where we were until
TAYLOR POV The following morning when I woke up in the hospital bed Hope was asleep next to me and Wyatt was lying next to me but he was awake. He was just lying there watching the TV. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust and Wyatt saw me stirring and he put the remote down and he climbed over me to see if I was awake, because my back was turned to him. "Morning baby." I said to him. "Hi mommy. I've been waiting for you to wake up." Wyatt says. "I'm sorry sweetie. Mommy was really tired." I say. "Daddy is snoring in the chair." He says. And I rolled over and looked over Wyatt to see Jackson sitting very uncomfortably in a chair beside the beds. So I grabbed a piece of paper from the cupboard next to me and I rolled it up and threw it at his head. Wyatt started laughing and then we laid down and pretended to be asleep again when Jackson woke up. "Ha ha. Very funny. Who threw that?" Jackson asked, standing up. "Mommy did." Wyatt says. "You little dobber." I say. And Wyatt
The noise in the dining room was starting to cause a bit of commotion so Jackson ran around and closed all the doors and locked them so that no one could see what was going on. He came back around next to me and kneeled down beside me, trying to get through to me. "Taylor. Please baby. You need to calm down." Jackson says holding my hand. "I'm trying to. I'm trying to stop it. I don't know what's wrong with me." I say. "It's only because you're upset about the warriors. And I don't blame you. You have every right to be upset about them. But they were not your fault. They were doing their job and they died with honor." He says. "I ordered them to the packhouse." I say. "I know. But if they weren't at the packhouse then they would have been in the battle and still could have died. We lost a lot of warriors in that battle." Jackson says. "And I just hid away in the shelter." I say. "You had to. Look at what they did to you when you came out. You didn't have a choice. You can't
I didn't recognise any of the vampires. None of them were there when they attacked our pack and kidnapped me. They were all staring at us, knowing full well who we were and then they started smirking. Thinking that this was their chance to get me and score brownie points with Carter. But they couldn't have been more wrong. As the vampires started charging at us, we started charging back at them. We clashed with a thunderous noise and they were attacking from all directions. But we had werewolves facing all directions. So they weren't having much luck trying to take what they wanted. I was fighting off one vampire when another one jumped on me back and I was trying to shake her off while the one in front of me was trying to contain me. I didn't know how they could tell that I wasn't Jackson. We were identical when we were wolves. Even our eyes were black as wolves, so they couldn't tell by eye color or anything like that. It was baffling to me. But then I looked over and they wer
As soon as we got back to the pack, all the warriors headed home and we took that ex vampire to the dungeons and put him in a cell but we called Jade to the dungeon. We stayed there while she looked him over completely and we didn't tell her what had happened. We just wanted to know what she thought after examining him. So when she was finished we went upstairs to talk about it. "Well, he's pretty healthy. I think he's a little malnourished. He needs some food in him. But that's about it. Otherwise he has a strong heartbeat and blood pressure is good. What happened to this guy?" She asked. "He was a vampire two hours ago." I say. And she looked at me confused, not saying a word. "He bit Taylor. Once he bit Taylor, he writhed in pain for a bit and then he was human again." Jackson explained. "Oh my god. The cure. It's been under our noses the whole time." Jade says, looking at me. "You're not draining Taylor so we can cure vampirism." Jackson says. "No. But if we take ano
As soon as Jackson and I got dressed we headed to the border but we were taking every precaution necessary until we came across the patrol guards. Some were in human form and some were still in wolf form and they were standing there growling at the vampires. We saw about 6 vampires standing there. That was a really small amount of them to come to our pack, knowing that they would be taken out in a heartbeat, so to speak. But there was one man that was standing in front of the others and he was obviously the one in charge. "The famous Jackson and Taylor Cooper. It's nice to meet you." He says, speaking very proper and politely. "Who the hell are you?" Jackson asked. "I'm sorry. Where are my manners? My name is Xavier. And this is my family." He says. "Vampire family or were you a family before you became vampires?" I asked. "That's a smart question. No one ever asks that. We're a vampire family. We met after we became vampires and we've lived together ever since." He says.
