“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

“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

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

As soon as we got to Memphis, we drove to the center of the city and saw that it was in shambles. Buildings were falling to pieces, pieces of rubble through the streets, overturned cars that were on fire. I got out of our car and I looked around. The whole place looked familiar to me but I couldn’t place it. I tried so hard. I started walking down the road for a bit and I stopped next to a pile of rubble. I knew that this place looked familiar but I had never been to Memphis before. I then felt something tugging on my leg so I looked down and there was a little girl on the ground. “Can you help me find my mommy?” She asked. And then it came crashing back to me. The dream I had. It’s the exact same. “Sure I can sweetie. Are you all alone?” I asked, kneeling down. “Yes. They came into our house and my mommy told me to run. So I did.” She said. I had to think for a moment, but then I remembered. “Is your name Amora?” I asked. “How did you know that?” She asked. “It was

Lucas tried to stand in front of me, but I obviously wasn’t going to let him protect me like that. “I’m guessing your Samara.” I said. “Wow. I didn’t think I had made it so high up the food chain. Alpha Meadow knows who I am.” She said. “Don’t flatter yourself. I just know one of your victims that you carelessly left alive.” I said. “There’s only one prick that I left alive. But I didn’t know that you were his werewolf contact. Where is dear old Benjamin? I would love to finish what I started.” She said. “And why the hell would I tell you that?” I asked. “Because we go back further than you two do.” She said. “I don’t doubt that. It must have really hurt when he chose me over you.” I said. “You didn’t give him a choice.” She said. And I started laughing. “If you say so.” I said. But she scowled at me. “Meadow.” Lucas said, grabbing my arm and I looked around as more vampires were starting to surround us. “I bet you’re going to score really big with the leader if yo

We decided that this would be the best place to stay the night. We made sure that there weren’t going to be any surprises left and surprisingly, we found more survivors here. The hotel was abandoned so we all chose a room to stay in and we went to those rooms to get some rest for the night before we headed out again the next morning. I went to my room on the top floor, which was the penthouse. I didn’t have a say in it. The warriors gave me the key to it and I was too tired to argue. So I went upstairs and I realized that Lucas was following me. “Really?” I asked, unlocking the door. “Yeah. Why not?” He asked. “I’m too tired to do anything. So don’t get any ideas.” I said. “Honestly, it didn’t even enter my mind tonight.” He said. “Where are the humans staying tonight?” I asked. “They’ve all got rooms here too. And they are being protected.” He said. “Alright.” I said. We went inside the penthouse and I put my bag down on the couch and I went to the kitchenette t

Lucas and my warriors were dragged away somewhere, but I didn’t know where and I was taken inside the mayor’s office. I was tied to a chair with silver chains. I growled at them as they were wrapping the chains over my wrists and around my ankles, but they had threatened to kill all my warriors if I didn’t do what they said. My warriors were unconscious, so they would be able to do that. And I wasn’t going to have their blood on my hands. If they were going to kill anyone, then it would be me. “Do you have the number?” The sheriff asked. So he went over to the phone and dialed a number. “There’s no answer.” He said. “I’m sure there’s just a hold up. She’s been waiting for this call.” The sheriff said. “Where was she the last time you talked to her?” The mayor asked. “I’m not sure. She doesn’t tell us this stuff. She said that she was close.” The sheriff said. “I don’t suppose you’re talking about Samara?” I asked. And they both looked at me. “What the hell do you kn

“Wow. That is really pathetic.” I said, watching the two men cower away from the wolves that were entering the office. Jude, in wolf form, crept up to them and started growling and snarling at them as Aria came in behind him holding an ax. She ran straight over to me and she started lining up the ax to where the chains were holding me to the chair. “If you cut off my hand or foot, I will rip your throat out with my bare teeth.” I threatened. And she audibly gulped before lining the ax up again and cutting one of my hands free and then the other one. She did the same with my legs and I was able to stand up, even with the silver burns on my legs and wrists. I knew that those scars wouldn’t go away anytime soon, but I turned back to see Jude jump on the two men that were cowering away from him. He got a good grip on Gladstone and Adams fell backwards out of the window. Which was on the third floor of the building, so I ran to have a look outside and he was definitely dead on t

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

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
