After going into this war completely unprepared, it took about two months for us to finally find our footing. We were finally able to coordinate and find ways of attacking back without them hitting us or the humans first. We were getting the hang of this war business, and I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. But right now, we were taking it as a positive because we needed to learn these skills to try and claim back what was ours. Our pack, give the people back their homes that weren’t already destroyed. Lucas and I had disbursed from the rest of our warriors as they were taking survivors, both wolf and human, to safe havens that we had set up for them. With round the clock security. Top secret locations that only we knew of and everyone else was under strict Alpha command not to release the information to anyone. So, even if they were being tortured for the information. They weren’t able to give it up. As soon as Lucas and I arrived at his pack, I could see
“What the hell happened?” Lucas asked. So Aria picked up her phone and handed it to Lucas to show him the photo. “It’s not true. She’s not a vampire. She’s dead.” I said. “We’re aborting the mission until we know more about these vampires.” Lucas said. “The longer we put it off, the more chances they have to go out and kidnap people.” I said. “I know. But they aren’t killing them. They are only feeding on them. That will buy us some time.” He said. I took the photo off of Lucas and I sat there staring at it. She was walking around like she was in charge. Like she was one of the sub leaders or something. I didn’t know what the hell to think right now. My mother died when I was 4. There’s no way she’s been out there all this time and I didn’t know about it. And if I was being such a pain in the ass to all of these vampires, why didn’t they use her against me already. That would have been the perfect way to derail me from going after them previously. Before we had organized
When I was finally ready, I slammed that skylight open, having the glass smash as I did it and I aimed the gun inside the building and started shooting. Mostly at the ones that weren’t chained and the ones that were trying to get out of the light. Suddenly, the windows on the side of the building were being smashed and werewolves were jumping into the building. I was shooting everything that was running in all different directions, watching them turn to blood and ooze and the humans were screaming and trying to get away from the danger. But the vampires were running for the humans. Obviously trying to use them as protection, but they were killed before they made it to the humans. The werewolves inside the warehouse were getting the ones that were running out of range of me, but there were another four set up around the top of the building that had smashed windows and were also shooting their weapons at the vampires. As soon as we realized that it was over, Lucas shifted back
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
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
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
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
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
