Dark Shadows CHAPTER 41
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
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 42
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.
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 43
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

“How the hell could they get away with something like that and we didn’t even know about it?” I asked. “I don’t know. But they did. And they killed thousands of soldiers. Human soldiers. The humans are going to be out for blood. They are going to start taking matters into their own hands and we are going to be screwed.” Lucas said. “We need to be on damage control. There’s going to be riots. There’s going to be people out at night. They are going to go looking for vampires and they are going to get themselves fucking killed.” I said. “That’s what they want.” Jude said, coming into the room. “Are you here to tell me that you’re taking over as Alpha?” I asked, standing up straight. Ready to take him on if that was the case. Lucas was definitely on my side and he stood next to me to show that he was on my side, but I took a couple of calculated steps closer to Jude and Aria. “No. Everyone talked about it. They discussed it. And then they saw what the vampires did to the army b

“Meadow. I know that you’re in there. Don’t pretend like you’re not.” Lucas said. “What do you want?” I asked, sitting up in bed. So he opened my door and closed it behind him. “Why weren’t you going to tell me that it was your birthday.” He asked, starting to walk towards me. “Stop right there. You know exactly why I wasn’t going to tell you.” I said. “You’ve been keeping your distance from me all day. You’ve been making sure that I haven’t been standing right next to you, you kept your distance while we were sitting at the desk making those phone calls. I have to say, you are damn good at faking it.” He said. “Yeah, keep that in mind.” I said. And he chuckled. “I had no idea that you were feeling the bond.” He said. “That’s because I didn’t want you to.” I said. “You really are more stubborn than I thought.” He said. “Lucas, it really has been a long day and I want to get some sleep.” I said. “You aren’t going to be able to sleep. I know that even you can’t trick
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 47
“Don’t look so surprised guys. I’ve always said that I didn’t want a mate. I planned on rejecting him when I turned 18. But he asked me to give it a chance and I agreed. I just don’t know how it’s going to work with his pack and my pack. Because I can’t move my pack now. It’s a safe haven.” I said. “Yes. It is. And now, here are the other people that were invited.” Aria said, pointing to the side of the house. I saw her brother Lake walking around the side of the house with Jillian’s brother Jason, Leah, Hudson, Joseph and Walker. They were all warriors and older than us, but not that much older. We knew them all and we were friends with them. But I didn’t know how Lucas would feel about Arlo being here. I didn’t really care. I started drinking the beer that was bought along by my friends but then we started getting into the rum and bourbon that the older guys brought with them. We had been drinking for a while and drinking straight shots because it was really hard for werewol
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 48
We went inside the packhouse and we sat in the living room to talk to Chandler and he refused to go anywhere without that camera. I guess that was his insurance policy in case I did try to kill him. “What the fuck do you want?” I asked. “I want to know what you are going to do about all of these riots?” Chandler said. “I don’t know. What are you going to do about them?” I asked. “You expect us to take on vampires?” He asked. “A lot of the riots are happening on the other side of the country. I can’t protect the people I have in my pack if I’m not here. And with these damn camera’s following my every move and humans now knowing about vampires and werewolves, it’s a little hard to do anything under the radar. They’ll know if I leave this pack and that will give them an opening to attack my people.” I said. “You can’t leave some behind to protect your pack?” He asked. “Yeah. But I don’t have enough warriors to dispatch some to every city in the country. At least not enough
