Zirah's POVAfter opening a room filled with a lot of junk which I went through and surprisingly I discovered amazing items in there, a spray tank filled with wolfsbane, then a switchblade that looked like a plain knife and other crazy items.Before I left though, I noticed a table pushed in front of a door which looked like it was there to hide the presence of the door.I wanted to leave it alone but my curiosity got the best of me and I pushed the door away, which was heavier than it looked.Once the door was successfully out of the way enough so I could pass, I twisted the knob and opened the door.The room was dark so I felt around on the wall for the light switch.Feeling a bump on the wall and an extension, I pressed it and the room was flooded with light.It was a bit on the big side and spacious too, seeing as there were only tables that were covered with tarps.In fact, everything here was covered with tarps. I went over to one and drew it back to unveil a computer system.I
Zirah's POV We kept on drinking, Erica more than me for some reason best known to her.She would giggle and laugh at the slightest provocation, leaning into me and whispering gibberish.She was also been flirtatious, very flirtatious.She was throwing hot, dark looks from her spot over at the bar and would make sure she brushes her body against mine at the slightest opportunity.Either she subtly caresses my foot with hers, or tucks a stray strand of hair behind my ear, her hand lingering on my skin or brushing her breasts against my arm.Basically, she was trying to rub herself all over me, which I didn't appreciate but unluckily for me, with each glass that she downs, she also becomes more aggressive.And I'm in no position to fight her off.She was currently leaning on my shoulder, her cheeks pressed against my arm, her mouth expelling warm puffs of air on my neck.I squirmed on the bar stool, trying to push her off but she just snuggled in closer, her eyes half-closed.She brough
POV I SAT down on the edge of my bed, thinking about easier and faster routes out of this city.Unfortunately, I don't know very well due to the fact I'm always locked up like a common criminal, or my access is restricted.The only person I knew to help me get out of here in one piece was Erica, and I would bet that Erica wouldn't let me go that easily.Leaving a city under attack would be much easier on my own but strapped with not one, not two but three kids was going to a hell of a situation, which was why I needed help even though convincing Erica is going to be very difficult.I weighed my options, going through the pros and cons, and decided it was better to leave without her knowing.It could be a very messy thing if I tried to convince her but she refused to budge.It was best I just leave, I'm sure I would be able to figure out a way out of this city.My mind made up, I stood up from the bed, checked in the other room, and saw that Mikaheal and Amber were awake, Alexei stil
Zirah's POV My feet hit on a stone causing me to stumble and almost lose hold on the stroller, but luckily I managed to grab it at the last minute.I kept on running until I saw a light at the end of the hallway and I pumped my legs faster, trying to also keep an even pace not to jostle the children too much.As soon as I came out, I had to dodge as quick as I could to the other side 'cause a man was thrown in the same direction, the same spot I was in moments earlier.I looked at him and found out that he had broken his neck in the fall and he was dead.I whimpered and dragged the stroller close to me, ducking and walking as fast as I could so those men wouldn't notice me and engage me.It was utter chaos out here, some people were running helter-skelter while some had changed to their wolf forms fighting men garbed in the same type of uniform that man that had attacked us on our way to the bunker wore.In fact, the more I looked, the more I saw them everywhere.They were taking peo
Zirah's POV The car was moving at a steady pace with our car in the middle, while two cars were flanking us both at the front and at the rear of the car.While I understood the need for security, I felt four cars were a bit overkill and I said so to Noah."No, it's not. We have no idea what we're going to meet out here, not to mention we're also going to pick up precious cargo," he cooed, tapping at Amber's cheeks while he spoke. "I didn't want to leave anything to chance.""That makes sense," I murmured, seeing the logic in his decision.His gaze lingered on my bloody and soot-filled face, trying to figure out what happened but I was in no mood to start explaining, not after the day I'd had.After a hot meal, warm bed, and several days of rest, not necessarily in that order I might be willing to talk more about the experience I had here.He seemed to get that and swallowed back what he had to say."I was so worried about you."He moved closer to me, surrounding me with his warmth wh
Damon's POV IT ALL started with the letter.After I'd sent Zirah away and was tired of the incessant meetings, I was outside sipping my scotch trying to blot away the ever-present image of Helen's dead body when I got it.I'd just been debating on how it seemed like Tristan had disappeared off the face of the earth, every effort expended to find him was futile neither was he picking up my calls.I got that he didn't agree with what I did and was frustrated with me, but he was my brother, who shouldn't have abandoned me when I needed him the most.Nevertheless, I would shrug off his betrayal and show him that I could be a stronger and better Alpha without him.I was done with my late evening walk and was about to walk into the house when I saw the piece of paper fluttering on the wide steps of the back porch.The paper which turns out to actually be a letter was held down by a rock.I looked around the area, not hearing or seeing anyone, and approached cautiously to pick up the paper
Damon's POV I Jumped blindly into the fray with no weapon except my fists.The first man came my way and I made quick work of him, grabbing his gun and emptying several bullets into his body.I hoisted the gun and made my way to the front of the house, careful that I remained out of sight of others.From here, I could see men shifters, coming down from armored trucks with guns drawn and their claws unsheathed, out to attack their fellow shifters.I looked around in confusion, wondering what madness this was.Fellow shifters attacking their own.I kept on trying to clear a path between the men coming at us and my own people, seeing some of my men gone reinvigorated me to get to the root of this.As I came closer to the entrance, another boom rocked the house and I peeked out the window, I saw some men get a missile ready to launch.I wondered if they wanted to level the house to the ground, luckily, my men intercepted them and killed them.Out front, more men started to pour in throug
Damon's POV Diego and Jack were able to get out communication system up and running again, and this way we could communicate with all our pack members, ushering them to safe locations and trying to keep a secure line open so anyone could reach out to us.I called all my betas, enforcers, and some lesser alphas scattered around the city to the, soliciting their help to keep our city safe from intruders.Unfortunately, a few had defected and was fighting alongside Ramsey but we still had the larger percentage on our side.With that, I gave out orders and went out myself with my highly skilled team to protect my city.So far, we have managed to drive them out of the city's square, killing or capturing the traitors that we could but they were still very much present in the lower part of the city.They were not easy opponents to deal with, and we sustained a lot of casualties on our side but we kept on using our strategy which had worked excellently up till now.Attack with force and prec
