Dark Shadows CHAPTER 20
####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

Mateo and I led the warriors to the mines and we were the first ones inside. I didn’t know what I was looking for but there were a lot of empty alcohol bottles, dirty mattresses and all sorts of garbage on the floor when we walked in. I looked around and there were several entrances down the corridor so Mateo ordered everyone to split up. “This is a popular party spot for teenagers.” Mateo said. “How do you let them get away with it?” I asked. “I don’t. Meadow usually organizes them so I don’t find out about it until the next day or so.” Mateo said. “Meadow organizes them?” I asked, shocked. “She is the next Alpha of this pack and she is very responsible. But she’s also a teenage girl.” Mateo said. “I guess. Her friends probably love her for it.” I said. I then heard something off to the right of us, when we knew that all the warriors had gone to the right. Because that’s where all the other entrances were. So Mateo and I went the other way and thankfully for being we

MEADOW POV Lucas was stalking towards Arlo and I knew that he was going to kill him. No one was more possessive than an Alpha. And now that he found out about my history with the head warrior, this wasn’t going to be good. I tried to speak, but nothing came out. Neither of them were looking at me as I was trying to get their attention, so I pulled my blanket back and I lifted my legs over the side of the bed. I used the bed as leverage as I stood up, but as soon as I let it go to start to move towards them, I fell to the ground. The machines started making a whole lot of noises as I felt something tug at my throat, and it got their attention. Lucas saw me on the ground and ran over to me and picked me up and put me back in bed. The doctor came running in and started yelling at Lucas and Arlo. I had torn my throat and they needed to put a new tube in so I could breathe again. Arlo was told to leave, but Lucas, being my mate, wasn’t told that he had to leave. Once everyth

The vampire was stalking towards my bed, zig zagging from side to side. Her crimson eyes were on me the whole time. “What do you want?” I managed to whisper out. “I thought you and I needed to talk. You are, afterall, the next Alpha of this pack. Mated to the Alpha of the most powerful pack in the country.” She said. “So?” I asked. “Well, we all know that werewolves are the ones that are going to try to stop what we are trying to do. The accomplishments that we are trying to achieve.” She said. “Accomplishments? You’re killing innocent people to take over the world. That’s not an accomplishment. That’s sadism.” I said. “Probably. We are vampires, without souls.” She said. “Bullshit. Vampires can have a soul. You just choose not to.” I said. “You are smarter than anyone gives you credit for. He told me that you were the one that we needed to look out for.” She said. “Who?” I asked. And she smiled a maniacal smile at me. “The one who told us that taking over the world

I sat there in shock, staring at Violet. Waiting for her to tell me that this was some sort of a sick joke or something. But the joke never came. I knew that she was serious. I climbed out of bed, even though I was still shaky on my feet, and Lucas had to stabilize me. “Meadow. You need to get back in bed.” Lucas said. “No. Those leeches didn’t kill my dad.” I said. “I’m really sorry Meadow. Your dad is gone.” Violet said. “You’re wrong. Dad wouldn’t get killed by a vampire.” I said. “He didn’t see it coming. It looks like it was quick.” Violet said. “I don’t believe it!” I yelled. My machines started going crazy as my heart rate was getting elevated and the doctor came in and saw Lucas holding me, trying to calm me down while I was yelling and screaming at everyone. I saw a nurse with a needle and she injected it into my IV and I yelled at her not to. I tried to pull my IV out but Lucas wouldn’t let me. He held my arms really tight against his chest. It didn’t take

I stood there staring at the elders as they looked so sure of themselves. I leaned against the door, staring at each and every one of them. They all didn’t flinch, they didn’t seem intimidated at all. And I was going to have to change that. “None of you have Alpha blood.” I said. “That doesn’t matter. We know what’s best for this pack. We have lived here our whole lives.” Caleb said. “Right. So have I. In the packhouse. Around the Alpha. In fact, when he died at the hands of vampires, his Alpha power had to go somewhere. And where do you think that power went?” I asked, watching them all as they all started to squirm. As they started to sweat and buckle at the knees. As they started to feel the pressure and pain of the Alpha aura being pushed upon them from my body. I knew that they were elderly, which means I didn’t go too hard on them. I let up the Alpha aura when I was sure that they knew what point I was trying to get across. “I know that you all think that I am too y

I called the coroner immediately and he allowed me to go and view the bodies at the morgue. Lucas obviously wouldn’t let me go there alone so he drove me and we walked in the back entrance of the hospital. I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to come back to this place any time soon, but things always happen that you don’t expect. The coroner Astrid was waiting for us and both of the bodies were laid out with sheets over them. I took the sheet off of Jillian first because I knew that it would be the easiest for me to see. I had no emotional attachment to her at all. The body was really torn up and I inspected it very carefully using a magnifying glass. “Vampires have learnt to disguise their kills to make it look like animals have attacked them.” Lucas said. “I know. And that’s why I’m looking for anything I can. You haven’t done an autopsy yet or examined these bodies really closely?” I asked. “Not yet. I guess I wasn’t ready to deal with this yet.” Astrid said. “I don’

Dark Shadows CHAPTER 70
Whatever was left of the army once Lacy was dead, were taken care of pretty easily afterwards. Once she was dead and they had no one organizing them or helping them attack certain places, then they didn’t know what to do. And they were done for. So we were able to return to the pack with our heads held high. We only had two casualties, and in war, that’s not a bad number. But it is bad in our books. We didn’t want to lose any. 5 YEARS LATER We had finally connected the two packs on new land that we had bought and built on. There was plenty of room for everyone. It was a lot more spread out and there was definitely a lot more people in the pack now. But it was perfect. Lucas and I were both still known as Alpha and his pack finally accepted me as being an Alpha instead of being an outsider. I guess saving us from this war probably helped, and the fact that I killed my own mother instead of changing sides really did things for my credibility. I was walking around the new pack
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 69
Lacy stood there completely unfazed by the wolves that were surrounding her, and she didn’t take her eyes off of me. “Stand down.” I ordered my warriors. They all looked at me strangely, but they knew that I meant it. They all walked behind me, so it was Lacy and myself that were facing each other and no one else was in the way to get hurt here. “I always knew that you were going to grow up to be something special.” Lacy said. “How the fuck would you know? You left me.” I said. “I was killed by a vampire.” She said. “No. You chose to leave with that vampire. You wanted to be one of them.” I said. “How could you possibly know that?” She asked. “Because you took me with you once to go and meet that son of a bitch.” I said. “You were too young to remember that.” She said. “Apparently not. I remember. I remember everything. You chose to leave me because you didn’t want him turning me into a vampire until I was ready to make up my own mind.” I said. “Damn. You really d

It took us all day to get to where we were going and we couldn’t risk being seen that night, so we stayed at the next town over. But we left before the sun had even risen the next morning.We got to the house where the vampires were held up and we made sure that we were back far enough, just in case they could sense us inside.We needed to stay back for a long time, to give them a chance to go to sleep. And the problem was that they had chosen a spot that was sort of out of town, but neighbors were still pretty close. “That’s pretty clever of them. They think we won’t attack with neighbors.” I said. “What are we going to do about the civilians?” Tucker asked. “If they’ve got any brains then they would already be gone. There’s no way they could possibly not know that there are vampires next door.” I said. “Look at that house over there. People are inside.” Dean said. So I looked over and he was right. There were people inside. “Tucker. I need you to evacuate the neighborhood. The

Aria, Jason and I all got up from the table and followed them outside. Lucas had thrown David down the stairs and he was standing over him on the lawn out the front of the packhouse, giving him one hell of a beating. “The only reason you are my Beta is because you were born into the role. I could very easily give it to someone else but I believed that you deserved a fucking chance. I don’t believe that anymore. I believe that you need to prove to me that you deserve to be Beta, otherwise you won’t be anymore. I can think of several good men that I can put in your position. So don’t think you are irreplaceable, because you’re not. Now get the fuck out of my face.” Lucas yelled, letting go of David’s shirt. David scurried to his feet and he left the packhouse and Lucas turned around to see the rest of us standing on the veranda. “You shouldn’t have done that. I can take care of myself.” I said. “I know you can. But I’ve been getting sick of his attitude for a while.” Lucas said.
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 66
I spent the rest of the day putting together the appropriate teams to go after each nest. After looking at what David did, I could see that he had just thown teams together. And that was going to get them all killed. We needed a leader, a second in command and strong warriors to fight these battles. But some of the people that he had in these teams were definitely going to get themselves killed. I wasn’t sending them at all. They could stay back with the larger group of warriors and protect the pack. They had a better chance of survival that way. I made it very clear that this wasn’t a suicide mission and I wasn’t sending people off to their deaths by going after these nests. The objective was to kill the vampires and come home. That was it. I was starting to wonder how the hell he got the position of Beta in the first place. He definitely didn’t show me why he should be Beta. Except for his loyalty towards Lucas. But a Beta needs to have more than loyalty. They need to know ho
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 65
Jason was brought to the packhouse and we explained the situation to him and he was more than willing to try for a leadership role in this new mission that we were planning. Lucas and I took him down to the training field and there were a group of warriors already waiting there. We gave them a task to do and we needed to see if Jason could get them out of it with leadership skills. They took off to the woods where a whole scene was set up and where they would be attacked by other wolves waiting for them, ready to attack. They needed to follow the path, ward off the attacks and come up with new and inventive ways of doing it. This was Jason’s big test and we stayed back at the training field waiting for them. I laid down on the ground, knowing that it was going to take a while for them to complete while I was staring up at the sky. “What are you thinking about?” Lucas asked, sitting next to me. “Honestly. I am trying not to think about a damn thing.” I said. “Bullshit. I
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 64
We were woken the next morning by someone banging on the bedroom window, so Lucas got up and made sure the covers were completely covering me, He put on a pair of shorts and opened the curtain and the window to see Beta David standing there. “I’m sorry Alpha. I’ve been trying to mind link you all morning.” David said. “Yeah. I was ignoring you for a reason.” Lucas said. “Please? I called you with a list of vampire nests last night. It’s already 9am.” David said. “Shit. I didn’t realize it was that late. We’ll get ready and meet you at the packhouse. Can you tell the cook to make sure that they have breakfast ready for the both of us?” Lucas asked. “Sure.” David said. Lucas and I went to have a shower and we got dressed and headed to the packhouse straight away. Breakfast was already waiting for us and we sat in the conference room eating while we were trying to formulate a plan. “We need to make it a single attack. All of these nests need to be attacked at the same time
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 63
I know that Lucas was hesitant about what I had just said, but it was the only way to stop this war. We needed to cut it off at the top and hopefully, the rest will disband. But if they don’t, it won’t be hard to find them when they have no leader telling them what to do. They will get sloppy. They will get reckless, and that will definitely work in our favor. But the problem was trying to find where Lacy was hiding. She could be anywhere, especially after we just took out the warehouse. I finally grabbed the notebook that Lucas had been writing in and I looked at all of the different locations that we had been given by packs who couldn’t handle these vampire nests on their own. “We need to divide and conquer. I’m gonna need some warriors from my pack to meet us here so we can get all of this done.” I said. “How about we don’t think about this right now. We can work out a game plan tomorrow.” He said, taking the notebook off of me. So I poured myself another drink. “Haven’t you
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 62
We got back to the pack and the omega already had dinner waiting. But no one was allowed to eat now that Lucas was back in the pack. They had to wait for him. So we were shown to the dining room and I was surprised that there were several tables set up in the dining room, all of them filled with people and one long table at the top of the room where Lucas sat and I sat next to him. His Beta David was next to the Alpha and his mate Lily was beside him. My Beta Aria was beside me and Leah was beside her. Lucas liked to let everyone know how the pack worked and who was in charge around here. He seemed to run a pretty tight ship. No one started eating until he arrived, no one started doing anything until he arrived and told them that they could. Lucas was talking to David a lot and I was trying to stomach my food after figuring out that my mother was the leader of all leaders who started this war in the first place. But Lucas and I agreed not to tell anyone until we were absolutely
