When I got to the border in the middle of the woods with Lucas right on my heels I saw several warriors that were hurt and a couple that didn’t make it. Arlo was there trying to sort everyone out and shouting orders at people. “What the hell? Which way did they run?” I asked. “They didn’t.” Arlo said. “What are you talking about?” I asked. “They attacked just before dawn. None of them planned on making it out of here alive. The vampires knew that they were going to die.” Arlo said. Looking confused, I looked around to see the remains of the vampires all over the place. “It was a suicide mission so none of them could be captured.” I said. “What are you talking about?” Lucas asked. “They wanted to make sure that they couldn’t be interrogated. Whoever they work for wanted to make sure that they wouldn’t give up his plans.” I said. “That actually makes a lot of sense.” Lucas said. “I’m sorry but who the hell are you?” Arlo asked. “Alpha Lucas Reed.” Lucas said. And he
I could feel Lucas’ Alpha aura coming out as he was getting angry at the photo and the warriors were affected by it. But I wasn’t because I was of Alpha blood, so it didn’t affect me. But I looked around and saw what he was doing to the warriors and I put my hand on his arm to calm him down. I had to stop him from hurting the warriors. We needed them right now. Even though I knew that he wasn’t meaning it. It was the mate bond. He was already protective of me. And he would have reacted like that with any female that was his mate. It just happened to be me and I was the one being threatened by vampires. “Lucas. Can your pack spare you for a little while?” Dad asked. “Yeah. My Beta has everything under control.” Lucas said. “I’d like you to stay. I know that Meadow can take care of herself, but that little bit of extra protection can never go astray.” Dad said. “Absolutely.” Lucas said, without missing a beat. “Do I get a fucking say in this?” I asked. “No.” They both said i
As soon as we got to the border we saw wolves on alert but no actual fighting. “What the hell? I thought we were under attack.” I said. “I know. There’s a female vampire. She’s taunting us. She’s jumping over the border and then back again. We can’t actually get a hold of her.” Arlo said. “They’re playing games with us.” Dad said. “They want us to know that they are there, but they don’t want to engage.” Arlo said. I looked at Lucas and he looked really confused because he couldn’t mind link with any of us and he didn’t know what was going on. So, he just had to take his lead from me. I looked ahead and a female vampire with flaming red hair came into view, but was standing far enough away so we couldn’t attack her. Her eyes were fixed on me and a smirk appeared on her face as she cocked it to the side. “There you are, princess. I was wondering when you were going to show yourself.” She said. But I crouched down and growled at her. “There’s no need for that. I just thoug
I quickly finished dinner and I get up from the table and Lucas followed me. I wanted to get some fresh air so I went outside. “People are going to start thinking that you’re my new bodyguard.” I said. “I don’t care what they think.” Lucas said. “I’ve noticed.” I said. “If he’s not your bodyguard, then what is he?” Leo asked, walking out of the house behind us. “In case you haven’t noticed Leo, you’re not very welcome around here. Only your mother but she doesn’t count since my father is getting sick of her as well.” I said. “Then what is she still doing here?” He asked. “I’ve been asking myself the same thing for a long time.” I said. “I actually forgot how peaceful it was around here at night time. The boarding school was nothing like this.” He said. “You mean, no girls.” I said. “Don’t worry. I managed to find them.” I said. “I don’t doubt that.” I said. And he walked down closer to us. “So, the vampire war is getting pretty serious.” He said. “What do you
####TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT#### I laid there staring up at Leo with that maniacal smirk on his face while holding my neck. But I wasn’t bleeding, so I didn’t know what the hell he just did to me. “Get the fuck out of my room you sick prick.” I said. “I don’t think so. I think it’s time for me to show you your true place around here.” He said, taking his shirt off. “What the fuck are you thinking?” I asked. “I think I am the one that is finally going to get rid of you.” He said. He climbed on top of me on my bed and I tried to headbutt him, but my head felt really heavy. I could barely lift it. I managed to lift my arms and I tried to push him off of me, but I couldn’t do that either. I had absolutely no strength in me at all. “Wolfsbane.” I whispered. “That’s right sweetheart. It’s a powerful drug. Even powerful enough to take you down.” He said. “Get the fuck off of me.” I screamed. “Is that any way to talk to the new Alpha of this pack?” He asked. “Do
LUCAS POVAs I was sitting there holding Meadow’s hand, I could feel it start to get hotter and hotter. So I looked up at her and her face was getting really red.I felt her forehead and it was almost so hot that I couldn’t even touch it. Meadow’s eyes then rolled back into her head and she started having convulsions.I ran to the door and screamed for the doctor. He came running in with the nurses and they quickly got to work to try and stabilize her. Which wasn’t easy, the seizure wasn’t letting up. But when she finally stopped, they had to replace the breathing tube because she had pulled it out while she was convulsing. I was sitting out in the hall when her father arrived at the hospital and he looked into her room as she was surrounded by doctors and nurses. “What happened?” Mateo asked. “I don’t know. One minute she seemed alright and the next, she was convulsing.” I said. “What did that little bastard do to her?” Mateo asked. “He obviously tried to kill her again.” I s
It felt like we had been waiting for hours outside her room before the doctor finally came out. “What’s going on?” I asked. “I was going to ask you the same thing. We can’t explain why she crashed. What happened before it happened?” The doctor asked. “Nothing. We were just talking.” Aria said. “The nurse came in to give her the antibiotics.” I said. “What? I never ordered any antibiotics. Who was the nurse?” He asked. And I looked around. But she wasn’t here. “Amelia. Her name tag said Amelia.” I said. “Nurse, order another blood test. And you, call security and put this place on lock down.” The doctor ordered. So both of the nurses ran to do what they were meant to. “How’s Meadow?” I asked. “We managed to stabilize her again. She’s alive. But we don’t know how to treat her without knowing what she was given.” The doctor said. “When security arrived, they were given a photo of Amelia and told to search the whole hospital. But the picture was also given to the warriors
####TRIGGER WARNING:TORTURE SCENES#### The closer I got to Leo, the more he started to struggle in his chair. The smoke and burn smell coming from his wrists that were tied with silver chains were evident. He was trying everything he could to get away from me, and I was taking my sweet ass time stalking closer to him. Making him sweat, making him panic, making him scared. For everything he has done to Meadow, that was the least I was going to do. I stopped right in front of him, looking down at the pathetic man sitting in front of me and I grinned at him. I steered to the left where there was a table of weapons laid out and I started looking over them all very carefully. I started walking along the table until I found the perfect tool that I wanted to use. A pair of pliers. I stalked back over to him and he was looking at Mateo and Beta Jude. But they were leaning against the bars of the cell, not saying or doing anything. “Where’s Amelia?” I asked. “I don’t know.” He s
