I took a deep breath. It smelled like metal and blood and death. The red tint that was threatening the edges of my vision had fully taken over. Everything was a rose tinted masterpiece. Around me were bodies of my carnage. They dropped like flies in the path of flamethrower. It felt so good. All of them were dead. The threat was over. Looking up from the massacre, I saw a few wolves starting to make their way out of the buildings.Utterly useless. All of them. They didn’t even know how to help themselves. Yes. They couldn’t do a thing. They didn’t have any power. Not like I did. They didn’t bathe in the blood. They weren’t enshrouded in shadows. They were nothing. Meant nothing to me. Stepping forward, I smirked as my boot cracked a bone. They didn’t cry out though. They were lost. They returned to the hell they came from.“C-Commander.”My head cocked to the side, looking at a wolf stepping towards me.“W-we have it from here. If you want to head back to the pack house.”Was this thin

*** Ethan’s POV ***I’d never seen my dad this on edge. Even as Alpha, watching him in battles for the territory, he was never this stressed. His Alpha wasn’t just leaking out, it was full blown wild in the car. If I wasn’t an Alpha myself, I would be baring my neck. It was his anger and fear that made me draw back. Sometimes, my dad still had the ability to scare me. Now was one of those time.Was I worried about my pack? Of course, but right now, we were breaking about every law in the book to get back to them as fast as we could. At this point, we were driving faster than what we could run as wolves. Otherwise we would have dumped the car and ran ourselves. The benefit of driving was also that if there was a fight to be had when we got there, we wouldn’t be too tired from all-out sprinting to fight properly.“I swear to the Moon Goddess herself, if Katerina has even a scratch on her, I will summon the hellhounds and hunt those rogues to the end of the earth. Then I’ll carry them to

‘We have to hurry. We have to get to her.’ Niru was pacing until he finally took over and pushed us to go faster.‘I thought you would be mad that I didn’t go to the pack first.’He huffed. ‘The pack is okay. Our Mother confirmed it. Our mate wiped out the enemy. Now, our mate needs us. Not the pack. Pack will come later. As will a lot of training.’I nodded in agreement. ‘A lot of training.’We lapsed into silence because it was far to run to Skylar’s; especially from this road. It would have been worse the closer we got to the pack but that didn’t make it easy. Every so often I broached the subject of her coming to the pack. She wouldn’t move and I understood where she was coming from but at times like these I wish she was living in or around the pack.Finally, we could see our goal and Niru jumped over the road barrier. As we ran up to the door, Niru handed over control and I shifted. My right hand slammed into the door as I stopped our momentum and jammed in the numbers on the secu

‘What do you mean?’Niru shook his head. ‘I don’t know. These shadows, the weight of it, is what is hurting her. We need to take some of it, take her burden.’Part of me wanted to think he was crazy. The other part of me knew this might not be Niru’s mind but more instinct. Justin and I were supposed to balance out Sky. That was what Sophie and Fiona said. Sky said she would be too much for one person to handle. Did that mean we could take some of the darkness from her? Whatever the Blood Witches had twisted, whatever grew inside of her that turn her into a monster, was that something we could help pull out?‘How?’ I finally asked Niru after coming up with nothing on my own.‘I…I don’t know. It’s frustrating. I know we have to do something. We have to save her. I…feel like she’s slipping away, Ethan. I just…I don’t know how to help.’I nodded. Her writhing hadn’t been as bad but that was necessarily a good thing. It meant she’d stopped being able to fight. Otherwise, I’m sure she would

I jolted awake and my eyes snapped open but my body was weight down. Looking down, Sky was still sleeping in the crook of my arm. Yawning, I looked out the window and saw that the sun was peaking through. Had I slept the entire day? I was pretty sure when I tucked Sky in the sun was only going down. Rubbing my face with my one free hand, I turned my body inward a bit without jostling Sky. Laying my head above hers, I closed my eyes and drifted back to sleep. The second time I woke up, I knew it wasn’t nearly as long as the first. Sky was shifting though, her brows pinched tight and she was curled up in an even tighter ball.“Sky, you need to wake up. It’s just a dream. You’re not there anymore. You’re right here.”Brushing her cheek a couple times, her face softened and her eyes fluttered open. She looked up at me with her brown eyes and I didn’t realize how much of a relief it was to see them. I honestly didn’t know what I would do if those red eyes looked back at me this morning. Ma

“Kevin should be back any minute from the gas station as well.”My eyebrows went up. “Kev is here? I thought…”Mom tittered. “Kevin was the first guinea pig for the witches healing potions. They work wonders if you can get past the taste.”Sure enough, I heard the front door unlock and open. Sky sighed as I set her down on the stool facing my mom.“I’m going to have to change the code. Too many people know it now.”“You better not. I just memorized it without Niru’s help.”Sky laughed and I smiled. Kev walked up the steps and he smiled as he came around to the kitchen. He looked okay. His dark circles were a little more prominent but outside of that, he looked perfectly healthy.“I’m glad to see you’re okay, Sky. We were all worried about you. We didn’t know if you got hurt or if you needed help.” Kev slide her a bottle of Gatorade. “Drink that. You need it.”Her nose wrinkled. “It’s the yellow one though. Who drinks the yellow one?”“I do!” Kev huffed, taking out a blue bottle and sli

“I…” I was surprised mostly. Not just that she knew what I had done but that she knew it was an option.Her hands fell and her forehead rested against my chest. “You can’t do that, Ethan. You can’t take the darkness. No matter what.” She looked up at me, determination reflecting in them. “Do you understand?”“No.”“Excuse me?”I put my hands on her shoulders and pulled her back slightly. “If that’s all I can do to support you, then I will. My questions, how do you know?”My tone was a little more angry than I meant it to be but I was angry. If she knew that it was an option, I could have helped her sooner. Part of me wondered if she even trusted me. This was a lot of information to hold back on. She sighed and leaned back against the door. Her body language was like she was curling in on herself. As she did it, I felt my anger deflate.“It starts with chest pain. Like your heart is being squeezed or stabbed. Then, it starts to hurt

After four days, I finally got a moment to step away. Kev was right that the damage could have been much worse but for one she-wolf, Sky did a number. Mostly it was cracked roads or wolves being thrown into building or poles. There was cleanup covered the roads, buildings and in the places that my pack had tried to make a stand against the rogues. The pack house was an absolute disaster. The bottom floor was basically completely ruined along with the outside porch being unsafe to walk on.Then it was getting everyone healed and rested. Both fortunately and unfortunately, the majority of losses that we had were warriors. It was their job to put their pack safety first but it left a huge hole in our own security after. I needed to make sure we had coverage where we now had gaping holes. Sam, Kev and I all took up multiple patrols to cover as many places for the healing warriors before putting the newer recruits sandwiched between veterans. I didn’t anticipate another atta
