Dark Shadows CHAPTER 37
“I hear you rescued some humans today.” Chandler said. “You mean, the ones that you neglected and left to die? Yeah. I rescued them.” I said. “25 people don’t mean anything when millions more are at risk.” He said. “Well, there’s the difference between you and me, Chandler. I will save every human that I can. You can turn your back on them if you want, but I refuse to. If this is what you meant by helping each other, then you can go to hell.” I said, hanging up. I was a little pissed off after that phone call but I managed to calm myself down enough so that I could get some sleep. I was up at 4:30am again the next morning and I got dressed into a red and black sports top, matching tights, socks and sandshoes. I walked downstairs and out the front door and I stretched on the front veranda before I left the house and I started jogging through the woods, around the whole territory. Once I made the first pass of the packhouse, I saw Lucas sitting on the front veranda watchin

It took me a moment to regain my composure and I realized that I have nothing to be ashamed of. I had a legitimate informant and I wasn’t going to be sorry for that. “He’s a vampire.” I said. “What?” Lucas asked, sitting up straight on my chair and putting his feet on the ground. “I told you that I was getting all that information about attacks and shit from the dark web. I lied. I had to make it look like it was coming from the dark web. It wasn’t. Benjamin was telling me.” I said. “You’re in with a vampire?” He asked. “Yeah. And so far, all of his tips have paid off. Every attack on this pack came from him. He’s been helping us and all of his tips have been legit.” I said. “He’s never once tried to fuck you over?” He asked. “No. Not once.” I said. “How the hell do you even have this sort of a relationship with a vampire?” He asked. I let out a deep breath and I walked over to the couch and sat down. “When I was 11 I ran away. Jillian and Leo were really getting t

We made sure that we had the best previsions because we weren’t stopping until we got to Oklahoma, except for gas. We took it in turns to drive and we already had enough food in the van for everyone to live off of. And they all bought several spare change of clothes. I tried to pick the warriors that didn’t have a mate or children. Just to make it easier on the ones that did have a family back home relying on them. Not that I thought these guys were more expendable, but they understood why I did it that way. None of them complained, even if I asked them to come alone. I never ordered anyone. They could say no and a couple did, so I would move on to the next ones. And the ones that said no weren’t going to be punished for it. I didn’t work like that. I made sure that these warriors wanted to be here, and they weren’t here against their will. Again, that’s not how I operate. I kept my eye on James, Lyla and Anna. But secretively. Trying to see if they were acting any different

As the cops were all standing there staring at us I could hear their heart beats accelerating and some of them sounded like they were going to have a heart attack. So I nudged Lucas with my nose. “We’re werewolves. But we don’t hurt humans. I swear to you. We were put on this earth to protect humans. From vampires. And that’s what has been killing off these towns. How else would entire towns be attacked with no trace of the killers? No evidence? They’re vampires and we are here to help you. We know that they are coming here tonight and you need to start evacuating before they get here. I swear, this isn’t a trap. We’re here to save your life.” Lucas pleaded with them. The chief stumbled as he ran over to the radio and he got all of his patrol cars on the same station. “Evacuate the town now. We’re going to be attacked tonight. Knock on ever door and tell them to grab what they can and get the hell out.” The chief said. “There’s no time for that. It’s almost sunset. We don’t kn

I kept looking up at the sky and it was pitch black tonight. But I could see faint lights in the distance and they were definitely military jets. I shifted back into my human self and I grabbed my backpack and I put some clothes on. I ran to the cops and told them to get the hell out. The army is going to bomb the town. Get out now. So they all got in their cars and they started evacuating as well. And we needed to get back to our vans. The jets were getting closer and we had to take off before they got here. I wasn’t going to lose any of my people and they all followed me back to the vans. We jumped into whatever van we could and started speeding through the now deserted town. Seeing homes with their doors still open, bags just thrown everywhere with clothes in them that obviously wouldn’t fit in their cars as they were getting the hell out. We heard the jets drop the bombs just as we got to the edge of town and the faster we sped away, we still felt the ground shake from

Arlo stood there shocked for a moment, before he got a smile on his face. “How did you know?” He asked. “You weren’t exactly subtle as you were helping those vampires escape in Oklahoma. No one else might have seen it because you were the head warrior, but I saw.” I said. “Well, I was actually starting to think I was going to get away with killing your father.” He said. “You were never going to get away with it. It was just a matter of time before you slipped up. Throw him in the dungeon.” I said. So Jack and Luca grabbed either arm and escorted him into the house and down to the dungeon. I looked up at the veranda of the packhouse and my uncles were all standing there with their Luna’s and some of their children. “So Charles. How many traitors did you get to join your coup?” I asked. “Do you have eyes in the back of your fucking head?” He asked. “I was going to wait to have this out with you, but I might as well do it now. I’m gonna be too exhausted tomorrow.” I said.

It didn’t take as long as I thought it would to get the dorms completely finished. It only took a couple weeks, but there were hundreds of people working on the project. And then I had furniture delivered to all of the rooms. Single beds because they weren’t big rooms, a desk, bookshelves and they all had built in cupboards. Charles and Lana left with their 12-year-old daughter Kate and their 10-year-old son Liam. Alice decided to stay because her dad was pissed that she was pregnant and he said that she was nothing but a disappointment. I guess she felt like she had no other choice. But I was fine with her staying. And she was happy because now she had a room to herself in the packhouse. And I was treating her like the family that she is. And 200 of his pack members went with him, leaving 310 behind. But I heard that they found another pack that was willing to take them in. I just wondered how long it was going to take before they got kicked out of that one. It definitely wouldn

Leah came running up behind me and saw that they had Benjamin and heard me call him by his name. “You know him?” Leah asked. “Sort of.” I said. And he looked at me, he looked like someone had really had a go at him, but I didn’t know if that was my warriors or someone else. “Who did that to him?” I asked. “I don’t know. He just stumbled over our border looking like that. And he was asking for you.” Jack mind linked me. “Take him to the packhouse. You’ll have to put him in the dungeon. Don’t hurt him. I’ll talk to him myself.” I said. And they were all looking at me strangely. Everyone was about to find out my biggest secret, and I didn’t know if I was ready for that. But ready or not, it was here and I had to deal with it. I just knew that I needed to make sure that he didn’t get hurt. I followed them back to the packhouse and the warriors dragged him down to the now empty dungeon and they put him in a cell towards the back. Leo and Amelia had been executed as well. I d

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
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 68
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
