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
The warriors from town came screeching to the mine shaft in our vans and the wolves jumped out of the back of them, showing them that we had more numbers than they thought. Including the ones that had just met back up with us from our pack. We had regrouped and our numbers were stronger than they were the night before. Which I don’t think they were expecting. But that’s the way I liked it. To keep them guessing. The vampires that were backing Celeste all looked to her for instructions, but she wasn’t budging. She was determined to fight us. And I was sure that she was certain that she was going to win. I knew the type. I knew that she thought she was going to beat the werewolves at all costs and she would be the hero in the leader’s eyes. Well, if that is the way it’s going to happen, it’s not going to happen easily. That’s for damn sure. Celeste charged at me and I leapt through the air to attack her, shifting in midair and knocking her to the ground as I tackled her. S
We got as far away from that town as possible. It was toxic and so were the people. But we did see Chandler and his people arrive so they could take the humans into custody for treason. I guess that prick was good for something. But when we finally stopped at another destroyed town we went to the hotel and picked rooms that we were going to stay in. It was almost sunrise again and I knew that we shouldn’t be stopping now. This is when we should be traveling. But everyone was exhausted. So I agreed that we could stay here for the day and that night as well. We were better off traveling during the day. To avoid any more sub leaders or anything like that. But it did have me wondering how many towns were working for the vampires now. And it was making me weary of towns that hadn’t been touched yet. Even if it just meant that the vampires hadn’t reached them yet. When I got to my room I went to have a shower and when I came out in clean fresh clothes, Lucas was standing next
